Description

Journey with us as Father Dave Nix recounts his personal voyage towards finding his vocation. Raised in a liberal Catholic family, Fr Nix's path to the priesthood was far from straightforward. From social justice Catholicism to a mission trip in Africa, his faith journey led him to the very heart of the Church. Can you imagine a more radical Catholicism? A form that propels the Gospel to life? Enter the CFRs, a charismatic group that redefined Fr Nix's faith. This encounter led him to the Archdiocese of Denver, where he sought mutual enrichment between the old and new Mass. Our discussions widened to include the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) and the complexities of divine and ecclesiastical law, a fascinating blend that shapes our church today.Finally, we grapple with the hierarchy of laws within the Catholic Church. The Bible and the Magisterium hold superior roles, yet their position above the bishop is often challenged. We probe into the suspension of priests, the contentious balance between prudence and preaching, and the unfortunate disrespect for priestly orders due to Vatican II's disorder. Join us for this compelling and enlightening exploration of faith, law, and vocations in the Catholic Church.*******************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the showCheck out our new store!

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity. As we see it, our job here at Avoiding Babylon is to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace.  Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There’s always laughter and good red wine.At least I’ve always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”
