A Word from Our Outpost, with Joseph and Crystal Gruber

A Basic Christian Anthropology // Episode 37

If you have the feeling that the modern world has everything upside-down, this episode will give that feeling the teeth of thought. Pope Benedict XVI has been famously quoted as saying "The world promises you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." And he was right on all counts. 

We reference the four cardinal virtues, which can be found explicated at length in a book by Josef Pieper called (appropriately enough) The Four Cardinal Virtues, which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0268001030/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1). 

If you want a shorter explanation by Pieper, check out his book The Christian Idea of Man (I may have inadvertently said The Christian Ideal of Man. Mea culpa!), which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1587311127/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i9

We also mention the work of Fr. Robert Spitzer, which can be found here:

And the Nicomachean Ethics, by Aristotle. And Chesterton's body of work, insofar as he talks quite a bit about Christianity turning everything right-side-up (technically, as I've discussed with my six-year-old, turning everything up-side-up-- right-side-up just means to put things sideways on top of the left side, if you think about it...).
