It addresses common objections, such as the Old Testament and the Inquisition, emphasizing the Church's evolving understanding of its application while upholding the importance of protecting human life. We delve into the criteria for a just war, both in initiating conflict (ad bellum) and conducting it (in bello), highlighting the need for proportionality and the pursuit of peace and the Church's commitment to upholding human dignity and pursuing peace, even amidst difficult moral dilemmas.

About the Napa Institute: Napa-institute.org/
Cardinal Robert Sarah's address to the Napa Institute discusses the threat of "practical atheism"—a subtle rejection of faith in daily life—within the Catholic Church and Western society. We examine the concerning assimilation of American Catholics into secular culture and the erosion of faith in Europe, highlighting the warnings of Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis against this trend, emphasizing the importance of a firm commitment to Catholic doctrine and tradition.
Cardinal Sarah calls for bishops to be strong, clear teachers of the faith, and urges American Catholics to be a vibrant counter-example to this decline, leveraging their unique position to revitalize the global Church, focusing on the necessity of a renewed focus on Christ and the importance of upholding traditional Catholic beliefs and practices.

Support us @ BuyMeaCoffee.com/OurFiat
In this episode, we explore Pope John Paul II's critique of consumerism and the thought that, by prioritizing material possessions over human relationships and spiritual values, consumerism represents a form of slavery that contradicts human freedom. We examine the Pope's perspective within the framework of Christian personalism and the free economy, questioning whether current economic policies inadvertently promote consumerism and exploring potential countercultural responses. We also consider the relationship between economic liberty and consumerism, suggesting a need for a strong juridical and cultural framework to prevent the latter from undermining the former, posing several questions about the economic and social implications of a decline in consumerist attitudes.

December 06, 2024 Immigration & the Right to Asylum: The 'Our Fiat' Podcast
Support us @ BuyMeaCoffee.com/OurFiat
Catechism of the Catholic Church: https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/
Catholic social teaching advocates for the right to migrate for survival, while acknowledging a nation's right to control its borders. This must be done justly and mercifully, considering the common good and the equal dignity of all people. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights similarly supports the right to seek asylum from persecution, though it does not extend to those fleeing non-political crimes. We highlight the global challenges of migration, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to address the root causes of displacement and to provide humane solutions for those forced to flee their homes. We also recognize the complexities of immigration policies and the moral obligations of both migrants and receiving countries. Practical solutions and policies are suggested, acknowledging the difficulties in finding perfect answers.
