"Every Saint has a past. Every sinner has a future". Oscar Wilde.
ive been praying to Saint Maximillian Kolbe, and have over 2 years clean!! for the greater Glory of God
@Kade Daivis addiction! That saint is the saint of addictions
Well done, very proud of you and praying for your continued sobriety. Good Bless and Protect you. 💕🙏🙏
My daddy told me that if you could only express yourself with cuss words, your vocabulary was poor.
@@augustinefaithdefender God gave us a mouth to praise Him not to profane His creation.
I agree, but sometimes nothing else expresses accurately what you're trying to express.
Think about trying to ACCURATELY describe war.
@@KethenGoesHam I agree when it's rare. When it's every third word out of someone's mouth, then it's bad.
@pin, I'm in twubble! It's a bad habit to break! What about 'hell's bells'?
Research shows the opposite
There is no such thing as a "Good Catholic." A Good Catholic is not what you are. A Good Catholic is what you strive to be.
Yes. I prefer using practicing Catholic(follows all Church teaching handed down from Christ to/through His Apostles) Then there's the "But" Catholica who follow but only what they want to believe.
Yep.
@@tyler-oklama I do not see how that is relevant to what I said.
I will pray for you
Amen
These guys are brilliant. Thank God for this. This is some of the real talk that's missing in the Catholic community these days.
Pray for me to overcome all willful sin in my life
Yooooo what a collaboration! You guys need to have Michael on again!
I like to think that God gave us every seed bearing plant to USE. Not abuse. Everything in nature has its place. It's on us, and our free will, to exercise restraint and moderation.
This coming from a chain smoking, pothead that REALLY needed to see this podcast today.
Dexter O'methorphen likewise brother. Recently dropped the weed and have been trying to figure out if it’s truly sinful. But there was so much gray area around it. Moderation for some, and abstinence for others seems to be the clearest way for me to see it. Hopefully im not wrong in that notion🙏
@@izaya_253 I totally get it. Totally.
I think that if you know that your intentions are good, then God knows that as well. It wouldn't be here, if it weren't supposed to be :)
Hey guys, I recently saw a talk on youtube by Michael Knowles where he beautifully gave advice to a person who was experiencing a faith crisis. It was a political talk at a College campus and when they question came up, he gave a really Catholic faith-filled answer including encouraging the person to recite the prayer of St. Michael the Archangel. Credit to you Mike Knowles....I first saw him here on the Catholic Talk Show!!! Awesome connection!!!
I found your podcast on spotify. The history, conversation, interesting facts about Catholicism and especially the humor and laughter is so awesome! So excited to listen to all your segments here and the upcoming ones as well!
Thank you for this show! I love the fact that you guys aren't sitting there , acting like you are holier then thou. We all have a story, and we are all running the race. Jesus knew we couldn't do it alone...that's why He left us with confession! I also love that he gave us Divine Mercy Sunday...which is like a new baptism, which is beautiful mercy from our loving God! I love that you have topics, that you don't find anywhere else! God bless!
Holy cow! This was awesome. Two channels I recently came to be a big fan of. Michael Knowles + The Catholic Talk Show.
I love the turn that the show took at around the 34 minute mark. I felt like there was some growth content there for me. Good presentation and a little less on the clowning around (though some clowning is definitely in order).
agreed
I agree! Less clowning around!
I love you guys! You are filling a much needed niche! As a practicing Roman Catholic it hard to listen to Joe Rogan knowing he does not speak the truth about Christ. After a few months of Dr. Taylor Marshall, I can’t take the negativity..
I completely agree... 👍👍
The most cringe-worthy abomination is the ease and frequency that folks use the Lord's name in vain. I have always been offended by it, especially when said by "good Catholics."
As a Latin American who immigrated to the USA as a child, we were always given a sip of wine on special occasions. The term "drinking" rings very bad in English-speaking countries. Do you drink? conjures up ideas of being a drunk, an alcoholic. Do I drink what? It's obvious that that first question has another dimension in America and the English countries. Perhaps a better way of asking would be "Do you abuse alcohol." That would be better understood.
The more protestant puritans in america are like that not all.
@@Vision-uf5mm --Americans go from one extreme to the other: abstain from alcohol because it is sinful or have at it.
What an awesome "find" !!!! Thanks, guy. Love being a Catholic.
I haven't watched all of your videos, but this is, by far, the funniest! Great show!
Love learning from you guys. Thank you!
Great episode guys. Reminded me a bit of old times with old friends.
Being Irish, I'm fine with the Patron Saint of Alcoholics being Irish.
Who is the patron saint of alcoholics?
Never forget the lake of beer, for Jesus.
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Blessed Matt Talbot of Ireland
That’s was so enlightening & fun thank you all for your insight
I know i am a sinner, but i smoke sometimes weed and i can read much more concentrated and praying also is more intense.
I know that it is bad and i am gonna work on that, but it also helped me a lot with studying reading and praying and never created distance between me and God, my faith is stronger than it ever was. But i know that is not a excuses.
You're not alone
It's not bad if you don't overdo it. Paul says that drunkards will be cast out with the sodomites, but Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine! That is not a contradiction, as the heathens will claim. The clear distinction between the two is this: moderation. God bless!
Thank you for sharing your history of drug use. I used a lot of different things and it is good to see that there are some other Catholic guys who have been down that road and can share how their faith helped them.
Fr. Ripperger who quotes the Cannon, says that smoking is NOT a sin, alcohol, not a sin, and CAN be if you refuse it based on the health benefits of say, a little red wine, etc..
Also as an exorcist, he said he likes to unwind with scotch and cigars. Obviously it's an external so it's corresponding virtue is Modesty and moderation (just as langauge is, Aquinas says language should aim at the truth). And why? Because he refuses to let demons rob him of normal life.
The great thing bout being Catholic is we are not gnostics and take part of the gods creation. Italians will smoke, not going to stop them. If you don't stop because it's effects other more important. Love the show guys.
Brandon Young what about weed and cocaine lol
How else are we going to cope with the threat of the Eternal torture chamber and the holier-than-thou married types?
Red wine doesn’t have health benefits. The cancer alcohol causes has been found to outweigh the heart stuff proponents bring up.
This was a great podcast/show 🤓👍
St John Chystosom taught that it was blasphemy to regard wine, beer, tabaco as evil ... an addiction to these things is evil.. moderate use is not ..
Bingo! A thousand times yes. Isn't he the one who said wine is given to us for cheerfulness, not drunkenness?
Great show! Really enjoyed the discourse on this episode. It was definitely clarifying for someone like me, who enjoys a drink on occasion, appreciates the natural incense of tobacco smoke, and is perhaps a little too fond of crass language. I think it's important to emphasize that moderation rules the day in all things, and as long as we have an eye to giving thanks for the gifts of alcohol and tobacco used rightly, we should find it difficult to stray too far down the path to perdition.
Love this program...
You get your message across in an amazing way ... thank you
Love your show. You’re all very funny but actually good Catholics
Awesome show guys!
My husband drinks and swears and used to smoke and do “light” drugs. Although I wish he would ditch alcohol and swearing, he has holy qualities that don’t come naturally to me and visa versa. I don’t drink, smoke, have never done drugs and I refrain from swearing I don’t even drink coffee and very little soda. These things are easy for me not to do. It doesn’t necessarily make me holier. Honestly, my husband is probably more saintly then me and he doesn’t even practice Catholicism as much as I do, and I love Catholic content. I think Jesus would appreciate a joyful man who’s a little rough around the edges. It’s almost like I’m his wife to help refine his obedIence towards Christ. And visa versa. Very humbling
Everyone needs a good wife like you what a wonderful world this would be!
I remember by grandfather using snuff and every now and then I would get to try it. Loved it.
Great show! ❤
This was... AWESOME!
These guys break my bones with laughter
Dellacrosse, I'm an Irish-American and loved your joke 🤣
Okay, okay you guys, I subbed and liked the video! Take a chill pill!
Thank you again guys. I'll be as sober as possible.
40:30 Excellent articulation. This is one of my failings.
I wonder what Fulton Sheen would have said about the Passover meal where 4 cups of wine are partaken.
Best episode ever 😅
Just watched this epi. So much inspiration I needed! One suggestion: any Protestant/Puritan discussion could use the same topics: smoking and drinking? I’d like you to delve into more controversial topics that make us BAD Catholics. So, for your homework, how about something like: Remarried catholics, catholics that practice occult, some meatier topics! Just saying. Love the show!
What a funny episode!!!!😂
Can't believe y'all did a show on this...thanks fellas! I'm having a cigar now
In New Orleans we have a lot of Catholic parishes. My school had a monseigneur, who had a reputation among the students for being strict. BUT, that was in contrast to the other priest, who was from Ireland, thick accent, always happy and fun. We'd see him outside the corner store drinking and smoking with other guys and he'd excitedly tell us "hello". Both great men, but one was considerably more extroverted.
Made me think of the saying, better to save drinking until after the guns are cleaned and racked.
Am I in the younger days when I was a high school, everyone Cuss . But I did not become Catholic until three years after graduation from high school . After I was invited to a wedding, to my classmates, I was impressed, so that's the time I joined the Catholic church. 45 years I have been a Catholic. . I left the capture church for a while, and I came back. i've been back 8 weeks, going to Mass every sunday .I really enjoy mass I always can't hardly wait until Sunday mass and holy week mass .I am still trying to learn .I did all my confessions take holy communion .
That's very true after on friday nights after work I used to drink from sun up sundown . A year before a minute my wife I quit drinking Haven't touched a drop since.
Still a very funny episode 😂😊
Every time a priest sneezes now, I won't be able to not think about them possibly snuffing.
Always fun
My vice is shopping! Where can I get those bobbleheads?
I moderate cannabis edibles for PTSD and anxiety; I have to be honest and say that it helps my severe anxiety to the point that I can play at the park with my kids again and other public events. I’m not out of my mind, and the only altercation to my mind is that it cuts out the fight or fight and whirlwind of anxiety when I’m in public. I could blast my brain with 500mg’s but that’s not what I use it for. That’s the temperance I use anyway. Love you guys!!! Prayers and love!!
Also suffering from PTSD due to combat. I use canabis (medically),Its a game changer. I pray that God gives you comfort brother!
I know a few combat veterans who have had great relief from ptsd with ketamine treatments.
@@RahzeeAlibabaSame, I feel God made it for a reason, I hope God wouldn't throw me in hell for regulation of my trauma by one of his created works
You guys should do a whole episode on "nicely" translated Bible versus. This example is one and I can't remember where (Isaiah?) when mocking pagan gods it says "where is your God now, taking a dump?"
I always refer to G.K. Chesterton on this issue
I like the stories of Saints addicted to something and limited and out of kilter...there's Hope for everybody
So, I'm confused. Are any of them allowed? They just seemed to make jokes about them and move on to the next one without saying whether or not some things were allowed.
I would love to hear Ryan's conversion
Bloody hell, I won't drink today and I'll give up the grass. Thank you guys, I'll do my best.
I used to smoke in high school Marble cigarettes.. They're not used to smoke cigars then after that pipes. I like the pipes bet better. I love the Roma on the smelling of it.
Super Shows 😊
Enjoyed the show and humor there are Catholics and Protestants that don't drink,smoke,use drugs or faul language.It depends on the home environment who one is associated with.Growing up MOM allowed none of that in our home environment.I never smoked till my 40's and that was briefly.Drugs I never wanted apart of I saw it destroy to many lives. Two of our classmates was murdered before our senior year of high school over a drug situation gone wrong.Both were girls.Our public high school was filled with drug use in the 1970's and it was actually a dangerous situation because drug deals was going on around s person daily.I never wanted a part of it.
I've a memory in the old days. You can be in a restaurant smoke. But now they've changed the law where you know not allow to.
Is it ok to drink alone as long as you're not getting drunk? And not everyone drinks alone because they are wallowing in some kind of misery. Some drink just because it's relaxing and being alone can be restorative, with just time to reflect and "chill" out (again, as long as you don't get mindlessly drunk).
That used to be my struggle I used to drink alone I will do it from sun up to sundown on a Friday night And that was a sin for me Because the way I was doing . Why was able to control it and not get drunk there's nothing wrong with . So the best thing for me Go to a movie the offers Wine I can just take one glass and no more and that will be fine .
I agree
I remember in the old days you can go to a restaurant inside and smoke but nowadays we not allowed to.
I just started thinking about the old fashioned swearing. In Romeo and Juliet Mercuric shouts “A plague on both your houses!” He is cursing the Capulets and the Montagues.
There is also G.B.Shaw’s play Pygmalion. Professor Higgins has used Eliza, his student, to win a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering. Despite the odds he made the poor Cockney flower seller into a beautifully dressed, proper lady who speaks upper class English. As per his cold nature he casually talks about wanting to discard her because he has no use for her. Eliza is worried about her future. She can’t go back to standing on the curb selling violets. She becomes enraged and hurls Higgins’ bedroom slippers at him. She shouts “There are your slippers. And there. Take your slippers; and may you never have a day’s luck with them!”
There is no crassness or profanity in these examples. Imagine if people walked around saying thing like that now.
I used to smoke all the time. But I don't smoke anymore it's been more than 20 years . Sometimes I get the urge to smoke but I don't do it because of my kids.
Great show, Mr. Knowles is very good at articulating, is he in politics? 🎙🤔😅 Gracias por la platica Católica!
I used to have a drinking problem. And I started going to AA, so now I hadn't had a drink for 17. I've been told some priest have gone to a a. I'm not sure if that's true or not but that's what I heard.
My grandfather when he started smoking he didn't know was bad for him because he was born in 19 0 6 back. Then there was no warnings on cigarettes..
The picture for this video looks like the album cover for Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell!"
My thoughts exactly!!!!!😀👍👍
Each one of these "vices" including the musical choices, must be approached from various cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic stand points. Rap and metal (although the later is not my preference) can also be as intricate and complex as Brahams just as some classical music is well not. The same thing goes for weed, there haven't really been as many studies on it but it's illegal status actually has a racially charged history. Similarly, language is ever evolving, and there was some mention of this, the meaning behind the usage of the is more important than the word.
Everything needs discernment.. prob the point of clear state of reason that they were at times alluding to.
DragonForce is one of the most uplifting and talented metal bands ever. Never have I heard harmonious guitar players like them.
I've heard both the Fathers cuss, I was surprised, but it didn't stick with me what exactly they said. I understand that sometimes there's the only certain words that fit the conversation to make the point to certain audiences.
My boy Michael Knowles!
I dig this show.
Aspirine the wunder drug...use as prescribed, limited daily (monthly) use
The tongue is a small member but it can cause horrible damage
Love all the bobbleheads.
I hate that i smoke. I hate that i cuss.
Hi there. I would like to make two short comments. First I that God made man in his image and that we are to take care of ourselves the best way we can. The second is your show reminds me of group of guys in basement man cave. This takes me back to the 60s in our apartment when I was ten years old and my father would have his buddies over for a penny anny poker game around the dining room table. They would have a couple of smokes, drinks, and laughs. I would ask you guys to invite a few women on occasion to your show BUT I fear it would spoil the atmosphere. Thanks for all your information especially on the saints. Take care and God bless.
God bless
It bothers me when someone smokes around me I have asthma.
When my uncle got married the preist was intoxicated when he precided over the wedding
Chewing tobacco at 13. It was Wyoming, what can I say?
Yes.
My friend he s great grandfather is saint John bosco
I have to be careful in the things on your list. Because I'm age 66 and I need to take care of myself.
I'm a catholic I don't do those things anymore I used to smoke marijuana . And also been to confession Told everything didn't leave anything out . And I used to go to AA
Just like he said, you can have a small amount of marijuana without going too crazy. I always show up to work and am active in my parish while being someone who uses edibles in small dosages for medicinal reasons.
I used to use Street drugs I overcame it Forty years I asked for God's help and he helped me . Because I was hooked
Whenever I use a cuss word it's when I step my toe or something like that i'm not cussing you know one out. When i'm driving and I accidentally cut some enough and that person sometimes gives me the middle finger I don't do it back to them but I just wave them i'm sure that makes a mad I don't do it back to them.
Great episode.
But I still don't know why should I drink alcohol. I mean, one thing would be to think that it is bad, but I really never feel like it. It's expensive, it makes me sleepy, the taste isn't nice (more like an acquired taste) and has some other side effects (beer makes me want to pee all the time, tequila gives me a headache the next day, a little whiskey is never little enough), and most of all, it is expensive. Many alcoholic drinks also have a fizzy quality, which I also don't like at all. So, is it ok if instead of finding a balance I just don't drink all together (except for when I have to accept certain invitations)?
On a side note, why did you all react so strongly to an Irish alcoholics patron but no one even blinked when Colombia and Peru were so directly associated with bad drugs? You do know you have an international audience, right? (or maybe not yet in 2018?)
This was an interesting topic, and I loved the part where Ryan D talked about his personal experience and then F. Richard commented on it too. Sometimes I wish there was a woman in this podcast too, but you three sometimes also say some really beautiful words.
You didn't mention wine. He turned water into wine.
Regarding opium and China please read Pearl Bucks book “The Good Earth”.
I think Padre Pío had a box of ceder Woody shavings😊
Keep your self holy just as I am holy
okay okay! I don't wanna be a bad catholic so I'm dropping a comment now! lol God Bless ya guys! This is the sort of thing we need now in the church to let the kids know that our fiath is not so un-cool... :)
If smoking weed is a sin then tobacco should be too. It takes your freedom the same as weed
The Merchant of Venice, spoken by Portia
I’ve gotten Drunk to the point where I could t drive, but I made the decision to stay at a friends house to not drive drunk.
That’s good of you
@@RetRo0._.jebE06 I’ve driven home after a few drinks but when I know I can’t drive I won’t drive. A state trooper friend told me if I want to lower my blood alcohol level he just said to eat a greasy burger
@Jack T now all I do is just drink a few beers and dance the night away to sweat the alcohol out and afterwords I just get a greasy burger to absorb the alcohol I’ve drank
