Liberalism and The Nun: Religion Is Useless [Ep.97]

#politics #catholic #love #freedom #happiness #theology #truth #liberal #conservative  Political landscapes, social lives, and cultural influences all shape our view of reality. Many of us live under the impression that humanity is limited to pleasure, utility, autonomy, and power. Yet, there exists a witness that challenges these popularly held views.  This witness lives in a silent, ordered, and "useless" life that reminds man of his eternal destiny. This witness is a cloistered nun.   Guys, on this episode, Logos dives into an article we found interesting where the author writes about the conception of a Nun within a "liberal society." Who is a nun? Does she do anything? Does she live up the liberal model of happiness? Questions like these mentioned and more are covered in this episode.  Links to audio platforms and support: Website: logos-podcast.com  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2Q Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231 TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@logospodcast  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqauK7TPfOwe80B-ckOeelQ Instagram: https://instagram.com/logos.pod?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc= Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcast Article and sources used: - https://newpolity.com/blog/sign-of-uselessness - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Josef-Pieper/author/B000AQ4VR2?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true - https://theimaginativeconservative.org/author/joseph-pieper - https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300064056/the-idea-of-a-university/ - https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-America-Alexis-Tocqueville/dp/1539113396/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1679512827&sr=8-5 - https://www.amazon.com/Tyranny-Twenty-Lessons-Twentieth-Century/dp/0804190119/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2T72PUVKZKLCG&keywords=tyranny&qid=1679512906&sprefix=tyranny%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1 - https://www.amazon.com/Tradition-Concept-Author-Pieper-published/dp/B00XWQVJMC/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1679512972&sr=8-2 - https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Triumph-Modern-Self-Individualism/dp/1433556332/ref=sr_1_2?crid=16B3JIBNZJQUL&keywords=the+rise+and+triumph+of+modern+self&qid=1679513025&sprefix=The+Rise+and+Triump%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-2 - https://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/vocations/consecrated-life/forms-of-consecrated-life#:~:text=Religious%20Life&text=926.,to%20be%20the%20Saviors%20bride. - https://www.amazon.com/1776-David-McCullough/dp/0743226720/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1679513134&sr=8-3 - https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651028_perfectae-caritatis_en.html Timecode: 0:00 - Intro 2:13 - Como Estas? 4:15 - Why topic? 6:40 - Thought Experiment 8:35 - Thesis of Discussion 8:50 - What Is Liberalism? 10:00 - Principles of Liberal Society 16:27 - What is Freedom? 17:16 - What is a Nun? 25:00 - Nun As Social Worker 28:10 - Being Over Doing 29:33 - Nun and Sister 34:00 - Nun As Model 37:40 - Creation As Gift 42:54 - Leisure 50:26 - Goodness Flows From Goodness 54:53 - Work Is Important 56:45 - Final Remarks Support the show
