I am now a junior and I am beginning my second year at Our Lady of Victory. This year I am also serving as prefect for House Augustine. Chesterton Academies prepare students to triumph over the challenges of our modern world and to accept our Lord's offer to have life and have it abundantly. My experience at Our Lady of Victory has been so full of richness. It has developed my spiritual life through frequent reception of the Sacraments and through the development of my understanding of the Faith and through better knowledge of Sacred Scripture. It has taught me how to truly think

Wake Up Faith interviews Dr. Gerard Verschuuren (September 22, 2022)Doesn’t faith contradict thinking? Actually, no. The Catholic Church teaches that there is a strong relationship between faith and reason. In fact, it’s a characteristic of us rational creatures to practice a faith that seeks understanding. This book is specifically written for Catholics—fallen-away Catholics, lukewarm Catholics, struggling Catholics, would-be Catholics—for all those in search of the truth, as it gives life-saving answers to life-size questions.https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/faith/

In this webinar entitled "A Post-Roe World," Dr. Pat Castle and Kiki Latimer offer their insights into the science of the human person and the morality of abortion. Moderated by Francis Etheredge.With the overturn of Roe, let us double down in our ministry to eliminate abortion from every community. There is no acceptable amount of abortion. Every life is a gift from God. We eliminate abortion by reaching students before abortion lies reach them and by serving abortion-vulnerable mothers. Mothers from Pro-Life states can still travel to pro-abortion states. The longer the travel time the better, allowing more time for mothers to encounter a life-encouraging person or message. 78% of post-abortion mothers said if they had encountered ONE supportive person or encouraging message, they would have chosen life.

In an age of communicative media, free speech appears to be ubiquitous. Anyone can say anything in any of a hundred social media apps that can go viral worldwide in an instant throughout all of them. And this opens the thoughts of anyone to the commentary of anyone else. But are there limits on free speech in a global world? How is our freedom of speech bound by legal, ethical, and content restrictions? In what way is our freedom really free? Presenters from the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia join with a Canadian moderator to walk us through some considerations on what it means to speak freely in the modern world.Lawrence Hopperton (ret.) was the founding director of distributed learning at Tyndale University in Toronto, Canada. He has published extensively on the theory and practice of online learning and won an international award for instructional design and disability compliance.

The only standard we have for judging all of our social economic, and political institutions and arrangements as just or unjust, as good or bad, as better or worse, derives from our conception of the good life for man on earth, and from our conviction that, given certain external conditions, it is possible for men to make good lives for themselves by their own efforts.There must be sufficient truth in moral philosophy to provide a rational basis for the efforts at social reform and improvement in which all men can join, regardless of their religious beliefs or disbeliefs. Such common action for a better society presupposes that the measure of a good society consists in the degree to which it promotes the general welfare and serves the happiness of its people—this happiness being their earthly and temporal happiness, for there is no other ultimate end that the secular state can serve.The Mission of the Center for the Study of The Great Ideas”Philosophy is Everybody’s Business”To help awaken citizens from their

ITEST has the challenge to engage the young and the old by showing how science and faith are compatible. Many have left our Church. Many more will leave if they do not hear something different and compelling. In this webinar we will discuss what the Philosophy of Conscious Energy is and how it can help ITEST with this challenge.We will be discussing a new paradigm, or way of looking at reality. This new paradigm provides a way to express and explore items of faith using terms from modern science like evolution, energy and change of state. We will provide at least three examples.https://faithscience.org/conscious-energy/For information concerning the 1962 Vatican monitum on the Writings of Fr.

In this round of debates, four of the candidates, Jim Hanink, Robert Newman, Reinette Senum, and Leo Zacky, for the 2022 California gubernatorial elections speak on the issues important to our society. WCAT Radio is a 501(c)(3) and endorses no political candidate. The 2022 California Gubernatorial Debates are part of the mission of WCAT Radio to share a forum for discussion of social issues of importance to everyone as they deal in the human act of our loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. Each candidate's position is a question of "how" to do that, of how to engage in concrete human acts that improve the quality of everyone's life, of how to rightly order our society.

Dr. Ronda Chervin Interviews Dr. Stephen Schwarz and Kiki Latimer on their book Philosophy Begins in Wonder (February 25, 2022)This book is the compilation of over fifty years of teaching Ethics, Metaphysics, Epistemology, Philosophy of the Person, and Virtue Ethics in the classroom setting. Philosophy Begins in Wonder offers the classroom dynamic on the written page. Here you will find philosophical questions raised, many possible answers provided, guidance in discerning how to evaluate the answers, and encouragement for even greater considerations beyond the scope of this book. Philosophy that begins in wonder is open to proceeding further in a lifetime journey of wonder, avoiding the unnecessary pitfalls of cynicism, pessimism, and despair. This spirit of wonder offers to one a life of amazement, joy, gratitude and, therein, often the unexpected moments of knowledge, understanding, insights, and occasionally wisdom. https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/philosophybeginsinwonder/

The Gender Link to the Human Soul establishes gender as an element of the soul retained in this life and for all eternity. This is demonstrated in the brilliant philosophical insights of Thomas Aquinas and John Paul II combined with illumination gleaned from Christ’s Resurrection and Mary’s Assumption.

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Dr. Stacy Trasancos presents for the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology on Assessing Contemporary Science in the Light of Faith. (January 15, 2022)Today we hear, “Follow the science!” People use that idiom as if to say that science is the path to all truth and that if we follow where science leads, we will never be led astray. But science doesn’t work like that. The Catholic Church has a long history, codified in Genesis and professed still in our Creed, that science is the study of the handiwork of God. Science is a search for truth, but it must be guided by the light of faith. Dr. Trasancos tells about her efforts to reunite contemporary science back with theology and philosophy in a more mature way than the Middle Ages when science was first born of Christianity. To authentically follow science in the light of faith will be the way to true progress in technology that benefits humanity, both in this world and the one to come.https

The Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology presents Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco in Counterfeit: The Psychology of Pornography -- The Science, the Effect on your Marriage or Vocation, and the Gospel Take on It (October 23, 2021)This presentation will look at understanding why persons of both sexes engage in pornography, and how it affects their relationships. The particular emphasis here is on matrimony and the wounds pornography inflicts, even when one spouse is unaware of the use of pornography. What is the draw? How does pornography connect with other mental health disorders? What is its psychological function and how does it affect marital intimacy? What about when pornography is engaged in together by a couple? Why and how is this still harmful to their relationship? What are the underlying areas that need developing and healing for a person to overcome it? What happens when these are not specifically addressed and the person just stops cold turkey? Are there still risks? If so
