Joe Heschmeyer | The Moral Dilemma
What happens when doing the right thing leads to more suffering?In this episode of Logos Podcast, Joe Heschmeyer (Catholic Answers) joins us to break down one of the most challenging questions in moral philosophy: can you ever do evil so that good may come from it?We dive into the thought of philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe and explore:Why intention matters in moral decisionsThe problem with consequentialismWhether outcomes justify actionsThe morality behind real-world dilemmas like war and the atomic bombHow Catholic teaching approaches suffering, truth, and virtueThis conversation challenges the modern mindset that results are all that matter and offers a deeper framework rooted in truth, conscience, and the moral life.“There may be times where… more suffering was caused by doing the right thing… and we would say: it doesn’t matter.” 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/logospodcast

Hot Ones | Catholic Priests and Comedian Shayne Smith
What happens when Shayne Smith agrees to eat wings that get hotter every round?In this episode, things start off fun but get real pretty quick. As the heat kicks in, the conversation shifts into faith, marriage, prayer, suffering, and what it actually looks like to try to live a real Catholic life day to day.There’s a lot of chaos, a lot of honesty, and somehow it all turns into a solid conversation about vocation, discipline, and learning to follow God in the middle of a messy life.This one’s painful, funny, and way more real than expected.– 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 St. Paul's CenterGary Michuta’s new book, Messiah: stpaulcenter.com/messiah-logos

In this episode of the Logos Podcast, Fr. Max and Fr. Joseph sit down with Cameron Fradd for a conversation on motherhood, spiritual warfare, and the deeper meaning of sacrifice.Drawing from her own life as a wife and mother, Cameron reflects on the hidden suffering that often accompanies motherhood and how it reveals something profound about the Christian life. What does it mean for a mother to live the words of Christ — “This is my body, given for you”? And how can women confront the lies that distort their identity and vocation?Together they explore the beauty of the feminine genius, the spiritual battle for identity in modern culture, and the redemptive meaning of suffering in light of the Cross.This episode is a reflection on motherhood, sacrifice, and the mystery of love that gives itself away.Among the Lilies Podcast: https://www.cameronfradd.comhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/among-the-lilies/id1149976656https://www.instagram.com/among_the_lilies?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==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

Students of Culture | The Logos in the World
What does it mean to become a student of culture?In this episode of the Logos Podcast, Fr. Joseph and Fr. Max introduce a new initiative called Students of Culture — a community for people who want to read the signs of the times, think deeply about the world around them, and discover the truth, goodness, and beauty present even in contemporary culture.Drawing inspiration from the Church’s tradition and the thought of Pope St. Paul VI, they explain how Christians are called not to retreat from culture but to enter into dialogue with the world — recognizing the traces of the Logos present in music, art, film, and the human heart.Students of Culture is an invitation to become intellectual disciples:people who study, think critically, engage culture, and grow in love for Christ through the pursuit of truth.Join the conversation and become a Student of Culture.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 Nature of Penance
What is penance, really? Is it just giving up chocolate for Lent — or is it something much deeper?In this episode of the Logos Podcast, Father Max and Father Joseph unpack the true meaning of penance: not just as a Lenten practice, but as a virtue, a sacrament, and a lifelong conversion of heart. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Paul II, and the rich Catholic tradition, they explore metanoia, the Sacrament of Confession, satisfaction for sins, fasting, mortification, and the powerful difference between active and passive penance.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
