Intellect And Faith - The Inner Life - April 2, 2025

The Inner Life

Father Michael Hurley joins Patrick to discuss Intellect and faith   * When it comes to Jesus, we must care and we must mind (2:53)   * What does the intellect teach us about the life of faith? The intellect is a human faculty that is a direct reflection of God. (4:04)   * Faith should be accessible to us all (11:27)   * Our capacity to love is finite. Do you want to grow in love? The only way to expand your love is to expand your mind? (14:48)   * Break 1 (22:28)   * The difference between the intellect, the will, and the passions? (23:51)   * Dean - As we talk about reason and faith, we need to think about how can we make it accessible to all people? The illumination of God is so important. (27:35)   * Email – Bob – Is supernatural faith necessary for salvation and are people who lack faith culpable for that lack of faith? (31:10)   * Glen - There is a difference about learning about Jesus, and knowing Jesus. (33:43)   * Break 2 (36:45)   * Addressing the objection, “I just believe” or “I kind of know the faith already and you can’t teach me anything new about the Church”. (37:38)   * Regina - What does Jesus mean when he says: 'unless you become like little children, you cannot enter into the kingdom'. (41:33)   * Resources:  * Angelic Warfare Confraternity
