Seeing like God | Creativity and Virginity
What is the relationship between creativity and virginity?In this Logos Podcast episode, Fr. Joseph shares a powerful retreat talk given to Catholic creatives, artists, and content creators, exploring the concept of virginity as a way of seeing — a virginal gaze rooted in contemplation, detachment, and love.Drawing from the writings of Monsignor Luigi Giussani, this talk challenges modern assumptions about creativity, possession, control, and productivity. Instead, it proposes a radically Christian vision: true creativity flows from interior detachment, silence, prayer, and reverence for reality as gift.Connect with us here:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: https://youtube.com/@logospodxast?si=RaYkZAfLKea2kBtZInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSupport the show

The Fight for Tradition | Bishop Earl Fernandes
Why are young Catholics returning to tradition?In this episode of Logos Podcast, we sit down with Bishop Fernandes to unpack what tradition really means — not nostalgia, not ideology, but living memory handed down through the Church.We discuss Tradition with a capital T versus tradition with a small t, the cultural burnout driving people back to the Church, the danger of rigid traditionalism, and why beauty, ritual, and liturgy still matter in a fragmented modern world.This conversation explores how Catholic tradition forms identity, preserves meaning, and points the human heart toward truth, goodness, and beauty in an age obsessed with efficiency and novelty.Connect with us here:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: https://youtube.com/@logospodxast?si=RaYkZAfLKea2kBtZInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSponsored by the Augustine Institute:Apply now: https://www.augustine.edu/logosSupport the show

Catholic Guilt | Live from SEEK26
In this live episode of the Logos Podcast, recorded at SEEK 2026, Father Max and Father Joseph take on the misunderstood topic of Catholic guilt. What is it really? Is guilt something harmful to be avoided, or a necessary part of the Christian life?Drawing from Scripture, Church teaching, personal experience, and pastoral ministry, the conversation explores the difference between healthy conviction and destructive scrupulosity, the role of conscience, and how guilt can actually be a gift of the Holy Spirit leading us back to God. The priests unpack how rule-based faith can distort our relationship with God, why mercy must always be central, and how authentic Catholic living moves from fear to filial love.This episode also features audience Q&A on discernment, confession, scrupulosity, evangelization in secular spaces, and navigating faith in a culture that rejects moral conviction.Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: https://youtube.com/@logospodxast?si=RaYkZAfLKea2kBtZInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSponsored by the Augustine Institute:Apply now: https://www.augustine.edu/logosSupport the show

Our Lady of Guadalupe | The Cosmological Significance
In this episode of Logos Podcast, Fr. Max and Fr. Joseph dive deep into Rocco Buttiglione’s chapter on Modernity’s Alternative and explore how Our Lady of Guadalupe reveals the ultimate Christian claim: being is good.We trace the drama of Mesoamerican religion, human sacrifice, the collapse of a symbolic world after the Spanish conquest, and why evangelization initially failed — until a pregnant woman appeared on Tepeyac.This conversation unpacks:• Why the Noahic covenant matters more than we think• How pagan religions hold both seeds of the Word and seeds of the devil• Why suffering challenges our belief in the goodness of being• How the tilma of Guadalupe spoke directly into a culture that had lost the will to live• Christianity’s astonishing claim: God Himself becomes the sacrificed Son• What this means for hope, pro-life culture, and the dignity of the human person todayIf you're hungry for philosophy, theology, cosmology, evangelization, or deeper Marian devotion, this episode is for you.Support the show
