In the second part of our dual series on Humanae Vitae, Bishop Wall takes a look at the positive outcomes predicted by Pope Paul VI, and how Catholics who remain faithful to the teachings of the Church experience high levels of marriage stability and happiness.

In 1968, a commission built to advise Pope Pius VI recommended that the Catholic Church officially change its stance on contraception. But the Pope, refusing to bow to public pressure, instead released his encyclical "Humanae Vitae" ("On Human Life") reaffirming the Church's opposition to abortion, contraception, and euthanasia.

Downton Abbey was a surprise smash hit from PBS, a show that revolved around the lives of an aristocratic English family and their servants in the early 20th century. Aside from being a compelling period drama, it also managed to convey strong storylines on the themes of family, marriage, and most prominently, the crucial role of stewardship in the management of livelihoods.

Flannery O'Connor is one of the darkest and most challenging Southern writers of the 20th century. She was also deeply, unapologetically Catholic.

Flannery O'Connor is one of the darkest and most challenging Southern writers of the 20th century. She was also deeply, unapologetically Catholic, infusing her body of work with characters forced to confront the most unpleasant aspects of human nature. But for each encounter with the grotesque, there is a confrontation with grace, and the opportunity each human being has to accept or reject the what is good, true, and beautiful.

In this podcast episode, Bishop Wall unpacks his favorite O'Connor story, "Revelation", and how this deeply Catholic author, who died young from the disease of lupus, remains one of America's most authentic literary champions of truth and beauty.

You've heard of the 7 deadly Sins, but how about the 7 Virtues?

You've heard of the 7 deadly Sins, but how about the 7 Virtues? Classically, these are defined as the four cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, temperance, fortitude) and the three theological virtues (Faith, Hope and Love).

In the 6th century AD, Pope Gregory also popularized another set of seven virtues, specifically opposed to the 7 deadly sins. They are: chastity (against lust), temperance (against gluttony), charity (against greed), diligence (against sloth), patience (against wrath), kindness (against envy), and humility (against pride).

In this episode, Bishop Wall also gives a close examination specifically to fortitude, patience, and humility.
