Breaking the Idolatry of “Love”
The Catholic Gentleman
by Oliver Oliveros
1w ago
If you listen to popular music, you are no doubt more than familiar with overly sentimental “love” songs. The problem with many of these tunes is that they are actually about limerence and not so much love. Limerence is a mental state where one has an obsessive longing for someone’s affection. Over and above that, this kind of longing has a dark characteristic—it makes you idealize another person so much so that you ignore their flaws. It is as if you mentally worship an unattainable ideal of a human being every time your thoughts drift into flights of fantasy about them. You probably won’t lo ..read more

Why Can’t I Hear God?
The Catholic Gentleman
by Dr. Jared Staudt
2w ago
God does speak to us. No, I don’t mean in an apparition or with an audible voice. God has His own voice and we have to attune our hearts to Him to be able to hear it. Robert Cardinal Sarah speaks of the importance of silence in hearing God’s voice: At the heart of man there is an innate silence, for God abides in the innermost part of every person. God is silence, and this divine silence dwells in man. In God we are inseparably bound up with silence. . .  God carries us, and we live with him at every moment by keeping silence. Nothing will make us discover God better than his silence insc ..read more

There Are No Life Hacks
The Catholic Gentleman
by Jason Craig
3w ago
As the modern age was finally settling in to its total domination over the world, small groups of Catholics like G.K. Chesterton and Hillaire Belloc were sounding the alarm that our destruction was imminent.   One of their greatest fears, and the reason so much of their writing was a mystical mix of economic and philosophical theory, was that the immense mass of small beauties like family and village would be absorbed into huge and boring consolidations of thought and power.  They thought it would be either government or business – they could not imagine how those things have m ..read more

Strategies for Spiritual Warfare
The Catholic Gentleman
by Fr. Dwight Longenecker
1M ago
I had to speak with Tom about his passion for spiritual warfare. His zeal was unquestioned, and his desire to fight the good fight was admirable. He had his warrior’s rosary, his prayer book, his holy water, and his scapulas all in place. He was ready to take up his weapons and fight against the world, the flesh, and the devil with all his might. Tom’s problem was that he lacked the right strategies for spiritual warfare. He had identified some of the evils in society and was sure that he had identified some of the evil people, but I was worried that Tom’s assessment of the enemy was not ..read more
