Beauty and the Failed Imagination of Our Modern Minds
Beauty belongs to Catholicism, yet we see fewer and fewer traces of this in our modern Churches. Men often ignore this transcendental and lack a depth of understanding of the objective nature of beauty. It is time to learn how beauty is tied to truth and goodness and how it can awaken within your soul an improved man. We are joined today by Robert Puschautz, a professional artist of the Stabat Mater Foundation, to learn why this is the case and how we can fix it.Stabat Mater Foundation - https://www.stabatmater.org/artRobert Puschautz IG - https://www.instagram.com/robertpuschautz"We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it. Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. We can be sure that whoever sneers at her name as if she were the ornament of a bourgeois past -- whether he admits it or not -- can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able to love." - Hans Urs von Balthazar🔴 The Catholic Gentleman Podcast happens because of our generous donors, including monthly donations of any amount.

A Convert's Journey to Fixing Bad Catholic Music
It has been used for centuries to elevate and to glorify the Mass, memorize Scripture, and harnessed as a weapon against Satan. Although we see little evidence of this in the modern context, men must understand that music has been given pride of place in the Divine Liturgy. Today, Sam and John are joined by a composer, convert, and man of wisdom, Paul Jernberg, who is working to correct bad Church music and restore the glory of music once again.Magnificat Institute - https://magnificatinstitute.orgListen to Paul's Great Music - https://www.youtube.com/@pauljernberg8950Connect with Paul - https://www.pauljernberg.comPaul's Mass - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQfy1G_PirM&t=2860s🔴 The Catholic Gentleman On PatreonJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible gifts as a thank you for your support: https://patreon.com/catholicgentlemanPaul Jernberg was born in Chicago in 1953. Having studied piano from an early age, he pursued a career as a piano soloist and accompanist which began in the Midwest and continued in Sweden, where he lived and worked from 1983 to 1993. While in Europe, his musical work expanded to include composition and choral directing. After his reception into the Catholic Church in 1992, and his return to the US in 1993, his career was devoted to teaching, conducting, and composing at the service of Catholic schools and parishes in Illinois and Massachusetts. Since 2017 he has continued this three-fold work as founding director of the Magnificat Institute of Sacred Music, a non-profit organization now based in Lander, Wyoming.
