Description

What if you could embark on a cinematic journey that not only entertains but deepens your understanding of faith and moral values? Brace yourself as we dive into a rich discussion on "A Man for All Seasons." We'll peel back the layers of this film, examining historical context, plotlines, and the profound themes of loyalty, friendship, conscience, power, and politics that breathe life into the characters.In this riveting conversation, the character of Duke of Norfolk and his struggle with loyalty to Christ and his friend, St. Thomas More takes center stage. We scrutinize the concept of martyrdom and the gravity of sin as evident through More's refusal to tell a lie. The fascinating history of King Henry VIII and his tumultuous reign in England, including his obsession with male progeny and his eventual split from the Catholic Church, is also brought to light. The discourse then takes a personal turn as we share our experiences with converting non-Catholic spouses to Catholicism. Discover how acts of love and prayer can sow seeds of faith, bringing someone closer to Catholicism. To round off, we share a list of our must-watch Catholic movies and series that have touched us profoundly. So tune in, as we traverse through the fascinating world of Catholic cinema, exploring its relevance to our lives and faith. This isn't just a podcast episode; it's an invitation to explore faith and culture through the silver screen.********************************************************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!”
