Lots of food for thought here. My boys are in catholic school but my wife and I have always known that we have to catechise them primarily. I helped out with the sacramental program when one of our boys was doing his first communion and I could see that most of these kids were already unbelievers, it was truly shocking. Most of the kids at school are never at mass. Their parents are largely unbelievers who are lapsed catholics who still wanted their kids to go to catholic school for.... some reason? I don't know. But this is why our church is dying and is currently in ruins.

Same here - my 8th grader goes to a rich Catholic school and was showing me a picture of his class and pointing to each of them and telling me about them. He came to this one boy and said, “that’s John, he’s the really Catholic kid” and I said “oh so not many are very Catholic?” (Knowing they weren’t) and he said, “no mom - no one is very Catholic when they are 14, even priests”. Ugh I was so bummed by this bc I try so hard. Although my kids do tell me that they are usually the only ones who know the answers to things in religion class! Yay for that. But -yes- my 5th grader tells me about girls that say they’re lesbians and other girls who say their atheists. Sad- my fifth grader also told me that they’re not allowed to talk about homosexuality because one of the kids has a homosexual parent and they don’t want to offend him.

It’s still better to have them in Catholic school. It’s a good education because they can kick out kids that do really bad things. My son’s school had a kid who stabbed a kids hand and the kid was just suspended. This was in grammar school too. I couldn’t afford to put all my kids in Catholic school so I chose to keep the ones in Catholic high school and took out the ones in grammar school. Worst mistake ever.

My grandchildren are homeschooled. We have a strong homeschool community. There’s wonderful curricula available. The kindergartner is reading on the first semester second grade level. He’s learning to add now. The 9 year old has learned about angles, word problems, polygons, and wonderful things from the online program called the beast academy. She’s taking a writing class and excelling in it. The children are calm and well behaved. My daughter and her husband are catholic but not raised in the faith. They are not regular church goers for whatever reason- they feel the church is not strong on the children’s side. That does not have to be your story. The grandchildren do go to various Bible studies in the community in programs designed for kids. All in all the homeschooling has been a wonderful experience. We are avoiding many of the pit falls of the raising children in Sodom , praise God.

My heart aches for truly Catholic education for our children. We have limited time left for the ones still at home and I fear Our Lord will not be answering this prayer I have always had. Homeschooling is not the best solution for so many of us.

“When men of God arise, good things happen.” -Timothy Flanders

This is such a fantastic conversation. I too am disgruntled by the state of most “Catholic” schools. I have worked in two over my first 3 years of teaching; they were wonderful workplaces and I loved everyone there, but in general, the faith was not alive nor openly proclaimed in the classrooms. Teachers were afraid to or even discouraged from holding conversations about the Church’s stance on “hot button” issues like abortion, and most of the teachers weren’t even practicing Catholics (or even Christian). I am fortunate now to be working in a smaller school that definitely seeks to work in concert with parents to form children in the faith above all else; what John talks about when he says his school focuses primarily on the child’s soul is so rare and beautiful. I also, as a history teacher, loved the discussion about the Civil War. The nuances in the causes and results of the war are rarely discussed like that! Anyway, I’m adding this episode to a playlist so I can come back and listen again. I truly enjoyed every part of it and benefited from many of the questions and responses.

Pints with Aquinas is becoming like Joe Rogan. On rogan half the guests are experts in their field or general professionals trying to sell something. The other half are comedian or fighter dipshits who are only their cause their friends with rogan. Both are entertaining.

I love the discussion about hunting and agriculture. It’s part of my career. I grew up with only partially understanding the agricultural world, but got fully immersed once I began as a Hog Farmer turned Meat Scientist. Working at a meat lab in a university, we hosted several meat animal-focused classes like “Beef 101” or “Poultry 101”. It’s amazing to have seen how engaged everyone was in learning what has to be done to bring food back home.

I absolutely have the father wounds he's speaking of. It was not so much what was said (now that I'm older I'm glad he protected me from those dangers) but more that there was NO CONTEXT and no moral framework that I could fit those comments into. I think my parents just assumed the conversations didn't need to happen because the framework would just enter my brain by osmosis. But it didn't. All I heard was "I don't trust you, you aren't smart enough to protect yourself, and you need to sit down, shut up, and be a good girl". As a parent I'm trying to have those conversations with my kids so that they know the moral framework that I'm making these decisions from.

@jefffinkbonner9551

That’s super important. It seems like parents are either too lax trying too much to be their kid’s friend and won’t lay down the law and enforce rules and discipline or will just do basically what you summarized of “sit down, shut up, and be good. And I don’t trust you. And I’m paranoid of the world.” The kid will probably be more likely to rebel as they just see lots of restrictions and a lot of reactionary paranoia. Obviously given the world today and the duty to protect the soul of one’s child, those restrictions are justified, but like you’re saying if a parent never actually forms his or her child into knowing good values and how to make good decisions and enables them to have opportunities to do that within some parameters, then the kid winds up just going hog wild, indulging every forbidden bad behavior as soon as he or she has the opportunity. You’re awesome for having that perspective!

I’m listening to this in snatches as I have time and I’m halfway through. May I say, this is a phenomenal discussion! I started to tear up when Mr. Spann recited the blessing he gives his children at bedtime. And the thing about “father wounds” is so true. I had a “good “ father in many ways but he was often distant and remote. Even though I’m in my 60s, father wounds still pierce my soul if I think about it. I just wanted to be loved (like all of us). Thank you for all this critical information!

To respond to a question asked, community and bubble have always been synonymous. The earliest communities were bubbles of safety against the wilderness. Communities since then have been bubbles of safety and order against human chaos, against marauders, against competing communities. Being a bubble is part of the definition of community, part of its essential function. Any community today that can be called a community is that because it hedges out that which is not of it.

Fantastic episode! 👌🏻

I went to college because I wanted to learn. In philosophy of God (not theology) I ignored one test question of giving the proofs of the existence of God (or prove them, this was over 50 years ago), because I suddenly wondered: how do we know that those five proofs point to the same god? maybe there are 5! so I spent my time proving each proof pointed to the same God. I was at Creighton University, a Jesuit school which at that time did not follow Georgetown's path, and our professors were pleased when we could think. Amazing to find kids who really didn't have the IQ to be in college, open up in philosophy where they were encouraged to think. And I got an A on the exam.

This first half of the interview felt like deja vu because I recently watched the Jason Everett interview and Timothy Gordon interview and they really share a lot in common!!

That was not at all what my parents intended, but that uncertainty really complicated our relationship. I wish I'd known how to articulate those feelings a lot earlier, and been able to start a conversation before it had time to fester.

You can tell that they're VERY concerned on making the best school possible concerning Academics and while they do a great job in providing easy sacraments to the students --- students feel trapped there. They all want to have a pause and enjoy themselves. They're not motivated anymore. And yes it's not ONLY because of some administration or philosophy of education of the school -- is because that's the way of the modern school. I taught Philosophy and I could tell that most of my students were surviving. They were asking me to make it "more fun". Few were really engaged in the topic.

That soccer story was hilarious!

Italian education is way way better than the anglo system (but of course has room for improvement too). You get little johnny (or little Giovanni) in a class with 20 other people, and he's going to spend 5 days a week, 6 hours a day with these people for years. Giovanni learns to make friends with them, and school becomes less of an individual challenge and more of some enviroment where seeing your fellow classmate perform poorly makes you want to help them. Most marks are assigned through oral tests, you need to learn enough about a subject to make a well structured speech you didn't prepare in advance (the questions are broad but you don't know them in advance), and that's a much better way to learn things than to memorize them *just* long enough to then tick the right checkbox out of 4. There's a reason when italian leave for half a year to an anglo country in high school they are consistently amazed by how easy stuff is.

I have boys and a girl. I'd say there are pitfalls on both sides. For boys and men, the sexualized culture and pornography is a massive, massive, massive and deadly trap. And it's insidious in this age. It is everywhere.(girls can fall in this trap too but it's less common) For girls, they are targeted by feminism (and all that comes with it) but on the flip side, boys are targeted by a spirit of emasculation. Girls face the same level of chance of "ruin" as they always have from pre martial sex, but I'm sure we would agree it is equally as morally corrupting to young men. Girls are targeted a lot more by this LMNOP movement - which is a poison in the world. I'd just say that this is not a time for parents to sit on their laurels, no matter the sex of their children. The internet/media/culture is so vastly different than 100y ago. We have far more invading our homes than our forefathers did.

Not fear but great concern is needed in raising all children.

Or ponder the decline in male attendance in Universities and positions of leadership, and the assault no manliness that is rampant everywhere. Ponder the Our Mother prayer among the Protestants or the media power of rabid lesbians and those to hate men everywhere from CNN to the View. Boys will be under constant attack throughout their lives just as much as girls. Boys and men are the key target of the feminists and for a reason. God the Father IS a father and they seek to destroy that image, especially in the priesthood and among all men. The sewage is everywhere.

Love the show and great episode. Agree with 99% of it. One thing I don't think the trad community thinks about though when they push parents to move near the best Catholic schools or to be able to homeschool or move into Catholic communities, is that they also believe the ideal Catholic couple should get married young and have kids quick. It's also the "trad" view to not be career oriented and focus on getting good degrees to make good money, like you all discussed, which I completely agree with. But, if you're getting married young and put your vocation of marriage and parenthood first, unless you come from a well off family, you can't afford to just move to these great Catholic areas, have one parent not work to stay at home and be a great trad SAHM, or send them to the best schools. I got my married at 19 and my husband was 23. I didn't want to put off marriage to wait to be "financially stable" as is a very worldly agenda this is pushed now a days, but now as we have our first child on the way we are no where near to being in the position to be able to do any of these great things you all talked about. And I agree, in an ideal society a woman should be able to be that perfect nurturing mother and wife and stay home to raise their kids, but right now in America most people can't afford to live off one income, and the kids gotta eat. For many, it's give up the pre-marital traditional ideal of getting married young and putting your wife and kids first and not focusing on those degrees to get you a lot of $$ or give up the post-marital traditional idea and do get married young and have lots of babies, but have to have two working parents and maybe have to send them to not the best schools.

It was a classical curriculum and we not only taught the traditional Catholic faith, but we also insulated the students from the evil of the outside world Fast forward and almost every student from that school has now left the Catholic faith. There are no guarantees to anything We do the best we can and raise our kids in the Catholic faith

A local jeweler had a billboard with caption "He said yes!" under picture of couple with woman lower than man (head shot but conveys idea the woman is on one knee) and man with hands to cheeks and open mouthed like McCauley Culkin in Home Alone. Made my skin crawl. Wonder how that ad paid off?

It really shows how good SJBA is and how much he wanted to work there! And I can confirm it’s as good as he makes it seem

the story about the Mexican soccer players was 👌🏽 😂

This guy talks faster than Father Mike.

It’s stunning isn’t it?

I agree, take a match to the schools!

I'm all for men being more masculine and leaning into their role as leader of the family, but that leadership has got to be Christ-like and that really must be stressed. The leadership needs to be self-sacrificing and loving. The worst thing is men who think that whatever they think or say goes, and that a wife needs to just shut up and submit, and sadly there are plenty of women out here in traditional marriages that are having to put up with that in order to keep their families together and have the dad in the home for the kids. It's a plague really, of half-truths in Christian men, where they embrace the role of provider and 'leader', but they forget about the part where they are actually supposed to love their wife, wash her in the word, and strive to be truly holy themselves.

So very true. Nothing Christ-like in a man who thinks being a dictator makes him a good father, husband and christian.

My husband and I have talked about this a lot and he has come to the conclusion that the mantra that helps him overcome his natural selfishness is "Try to outdo each other in acts of service and give without expecting anything back." Even if your spouse takes advantage of it, you are still working out your salvation.

Even on a Christian show we can’t get away from this feminist garbage. Men do not need women to tell them how to carry themselves.
