Ep. 26 | Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist — Fr. Damian Ference
“The truth doesn’t change according to your ability to stomach it emotionally.” So said the ingenious, straight-talking novelist Flannery O’Connor. Who profoundly influenced the faith and fiction of one of the finest (and most shocking) writers of the twentieth century? None other than St. Thomas Aquinas. Join Tod and Fr. Damian Ference as they explore the thought of Flannery O’Connor in his powerful new book, Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist.

    am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis amongs, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967779509554 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~~♡~♡~&*$*$&%&$&%*%&$*%&%&/&/*%*%&$*%&&&%%...^.^.^.^.^........................................./././../././././../.'.".".".."."."."."."..".".""""".".".".".".".."."."."..".".".".".."."."".""."."."..".".".".."."."."."..".".".".".".".".......🎉

    Satan has being trying to get back at Jesus for 2000 years, OUR only true Catholic apostolic christian church of Jesus. No other religion has lasted and will not last. Everyone else who is not catholic of other religions, you have the holy spirit, but you do not have the fullness of Jesus love, the fullness of his grace. All of you have an inheritance to come and get, I invite to come to a catholic mass and claim your inheritance of your seven sacraments. St. Michael the archangel defend us in battle be our protection against the weakedness and snares of the devil, may god rebuke him. We humbly pray and do thou oh prince of the heavenly host by the power of god cast into hell satan and all it's evil spirits who prowl around the world seeking the ruine of souls, Amen.

    Kreeft interprets Kant a little bit ungenerously when he says that the will offers no absolute guidance for each person. Kant introduces respect (for the dignity of the self and other) precisely to that end. We must always see dignity as the only moral absolute and that is, als for Catholics, a very good basic guiding principle, I believe.

    In the past when I lived in Virginia, my Catholic churches welcomed people with disabilities. I myself have been using a cane for many years. There were people in wheelchairs, and that was common place. We used to have healing masses, and that was another place for many of the people with some disabilities went. I am now in South Carolina, and the area is a retired area. We are there with disabilities as well, walkers, wheelchairs, canes. There are people with mental challenges as well. Intellectual disabilities. I do think, however, that the electronic doors should be in every single church and they’re not. I also think that we must accommodate each individual problem that a person has as far as walking or moving or moving or hearing in any way. We do not have signing with hands for people who are deaf. I do believe this has to be addressed as much as possible. Every church and every community is extremely different and perhaps there should be one church in each community that has all of the above. Therefore there could be one at least everybody could count on. We have ramps, special seating…and need more. How do we accommodate each person?
