The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

The JWQ = The Just War Question(s). Rhetorical questions, mostly. In this episode, we cover the Fifth Commandment as it's explained in the Catechism. I'm just sayin': It could be explained better! I want a Venn diagram!
Are you interested in war and peace? Do you want to read one of the greatest literary works of Western civilization with the support of a live class -- and the accountability that comes with it? This summer, put down your phone and tackle some serious reading with us! Ellen is teaching a live class on The Iliad. We're going to have great conversations about human nature, religion, war, peace, pagans, Catholics, love and loss. There will be so many themes we'll be discussing that will allow us to really examine and ponder more deeply the major topics that are discussed on this channel, but this time through poetry, not podcasting. Hope you can join us!

Dr. E. Michael Jones returns to talk about Gaza and "Just War". (We always have to put that in quotes, because that's how it appears in the Catechism. The Trinity doctrine, however, and by the way, does not appear in quotation marks in the Catechism. Interesting, isn't it?) Buckle up!

Episode 113: Roger LaPorte (July 16, 1943 - November 10, 1965) 12:30

28 weeks ago12:30

12:30

Roger LaPorte (July 16, 1943 - November 10, 1965) A Reflection by Fr. Emmanuel McCarthy Roger La Porte immolated himself on November 9, 1965, as his response to the high tech and financially profitable massacre of the people of Vietnam that the U.S. politicians and military were conducting 7200 miles from the border of the U.S.—and to which most of the U.S. citizenry at the time were indifferent. The sacrifice of his life was his response to this wickedness and to the mass media deceit that was calculatingly covering up the daily fare of atrocities that men in the U.S. military were committing against the Vietnamese. When news of his death, the manner of death and the motivation for his self-immolation became known, few in the Church had a good word to say about him, and most had clever, subtle, demeaning and dismissing innuendos when asked to comment on Roger. I was appalled then and remain appalled to this day at the way my fellow Catholics from Cardinal Spellman to Thomas Merton to Dorothy Day and most other Catholics threw Roger overboard. Yet, I remember the aura of religious heroism, the almost reverend adulation, with which some of these same people treated the self-immolation by the sixty-six-year-old Buddhist monk, Thich Quang Duc’s, two and a half years earlier in Saigon on June 11, 1963—although they disagreed with self-immolation as a form of protest for themselves. Yet, where Roger was concerned, it was a radically different response, tenor and tone that was adopted. But, to his eternal credit, Rev. Daniel Berrigan stood by Roger to the end and beyond, and in my mind rightly interpreted Roger’s act, motivation and witness. Dan did not and would not—nor would I— counsel Roger to choose such a witness. Dan, however, left no doubt after hearing Roger's death bed confession that Roger was following his conscience and was not trying to commit suicide, but rather, was voluntarily accepting suffering and possibly death so that others might have their sufferings relieved and their deaths avoided. Dan paid a price for standing by Roger publicly and privately, having the cruel wrath of Cardinal Spellman and his own Jesuit Order immediately come down on him. Regardless of how we die, we all die totally dependent on the mercy of God. No one dies saying, “Lord, have justice on me.” In relation to the Vietnam War, Roger made his choice and others made theirs. Roger’s act resulted in him being burned to death. The acts of other U.S. Catholics and Christians resulted in tens of thousands of Vietnamese being burned to death. Remember at this moment, the DOW Chemical Napalm Holocaust in Vietnam. Imagine the agony of that! That was Roger’s agony multiplied tens of thousands of times over. Indeed, Dan Berrigan after visiting Vietnam during the war called it “The Land of the Burning Children.” But one will search in vain for evidence that the wrath of Cardinal Spellman or of the Jesuit Order came down on any of the Catholics who set tens of thousands of human beings on fire in Vietnam, or on any Catholic institutions, e.g., universities, that taught Catholics to obey those who ordered them to burn Vietnamese people to death. Nor is there any evidence that the wrath of Cardinal Spellman or the Jesuit Order came down on any Catholic or Catholic organization who was indifferent to the destruction of Vietnamese children by the truckload each day. As is the case today in the Catholic Church hierarchy in relation to the genocide of the children of Palestine. —Emmanuel Charles McCarthy Find CAM here: https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.co Find CAM here: https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.com RSS feed: http://www.buzzsprout.com/296171 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/CAMpodcast…

Episode 98: Campus Protest of "The Notre Dame Ten": 50th Anniversary 2:09:05

45 weeks ago2:09:05

2:09:05

On November 18, 1969, during the height of the Vietnam War, a group of Notre Dame students protested the presence of Central Intelligence Agency and DAO (Defense Attache Office, Saigon) on campus. At the time, Fr. Emmanuel Charles McCarthy was a professor in the literature department; he had also founded and was the Director of The Program for the Study and Practice of Nonviolent Conflict Resolution. Ten of the students got expelled. Fr. McCarthy ended up resigning, to show solidarity with the students. On the 50th anniversary in 2019, Fr. McCarthy and four of the former students reunited to tell the story of what happened that day, why it happened, and how it has affected their lives, as well as the ripple effects it has sent through the institution of the University of Notre Dame. 0:00 Fr. McCarthy provides an overview of the event 3:50 Mark Mahoney, John Eckenrode, Chris Cotter, and Carl Estabrook (faculty member at the time) introduce themselves 4:55 Mark Mahoney on what it was all about 7:35 John Eckenrode tells his story and explains the 15-minute rule 12:08 Did the school set them up? 17:00 A retired DOW President gives Notre Dame $10 million 19:32 School would not even allow DOA and students to talk off campus 21:50 Suspensions and scapegoats 23:40 Fr.

Hesburgh's book was "misleading" and sometimes "wrong" 37:07 Consequences in the university 44:38 Notre Dame's growth and endowment targets go from $35 million to $1 billion 48:38 John Eckinrode notes you will not find any plaques or memorials to the authors who exposed CIA or the conscientious objectors from Notre Dame 54:30 The "false witness" of Notre Dame 1:04:45 Question from a reporter: "How did this affect your life and what did you learn?" 1:24:00 Question from a reporter: "Would you recommend civil disobedience as a course of action to protest any topics today?"

Jason's perspective, which is different than mine, and comes from outside Catholic teaching on war, I see as a dose of worldly wisdom that the CAM podcast needs (not that I believe much in worldly wisdom on the topic, but it is worth hearing if only because, sometimes, worldly wisdom seems more connected to reality than the opining of the Catholic Just Warists who only want to talk about war in the theoretical and the abstract). Longtime listeners will, I hope, make connections with the ideas discussed more broadly on this podcast and will, I hope, share those observations charitably and thoughtfully in the comments section. I highly recommend Episode 45 as a follow up to this conversation: https://youtu.be/SEMwUG2EJyc Find CAM here: https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.com RSS feed: http://www.buzzsprout.com/296171 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/CAMpodcast Find CAM here: https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.com RSS feed: http://www.buzzsprout.com/296171 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/CAMpodcast…

Episode 91: Bishop John Botean in 2003 11:33

Bishop John Michael Botean (Romanian Catholic eparchy of St. George in Canton Ohio) issued this Lenten Letter to his people in 2003. The letter was read from the pulpit of all Romanian Catholic Churches on March 9, 2003. This document represents the strongest antiwar stand by any Catholic bishop in the United States (and quite possibly the world) in relation to America's invasion of Iraq. Employing his full apostolic authority, Bishop Botean rules that it is morally impermissible for members of his flock to lend their support to this war effort. The document is avaiable from several sources on the internet. This particular version was posted on the Center for Christian Non-Violence (http://centerforchristiannonviolence.org/downloads/Pastoral_Letter_Iraq_War.pdf) retrieved on 7/28/2008. -https://www.scribd.com/document/4196399/Pastoral-Letter-Iraq-War Find CAM here: https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.com RSS feed: http://www.buzzsprout.com/296171 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/CAMpodcast Find CAM here: https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.com RSS feed: http://www.buzzsprout.com/296171 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/CAMpodcast…

Episode 77: Mental Mirror Game 1:04:22

JOIN US! Retreat link: https://bit.ly/45fItsa Trent Horn's original video is here: https://youtu.be/6amuetZv-eM?si=VTq1g653L26NsFeY This is more of a "reaction video" than a rebuttal video. If it is a critique, my only critique is that Horn doesn't go far enough. It is a critique of his TREATMENT of the issue, not his views, and his treatment is the usual and standard approach in Catholic circles; thus his video is REPRESENTATIVE of the larger thing I'm trying to critique, if that makes sense. In case it is not clear in the video, mine is a 3-part critique: 1) As most Catholics tend to do, Horn presents the Catholic controversy around the dropping of the atomic bombs ONLY according to highly selective Church teachings, and he references only certain Catholic arguments, specifically those that are made when looking at the issue through the keyhole of Just War Doctrine. 2) Though one can infer or assume that he is implicitly basing his exploration and discussion on tenets of the Just War Doctrine, he doesn't explain that doctrine to his audience, and so the "Catholic" standards and Church teachings are getting mixed up with secular or worldly definitions and rules, i.e. the UN definition of "war crimes," which muddles the issue. 3) He drops the ball when he fails to address how World War 2 AS A WHOLE would fare as a "good" or "just war" if the standards of Just War Doctrine were "strictly applied," specifically the standards of Jus In Bello: For if the war is not being conducted according to the rules, no Catholic can fight in it. So, WHAT KINDS of bombs the Catholics are dropping and under what circumstances or with what motivation becomes a moot point. The real issue becomes: Why did so many Catholics participate in an UNJUST WAR in the first place? That's the question that should be asked here. I admire Trent Horn. He's obviously very intelligent, but this was not his strongest video. His coverage of the issue seemed sparse and kind of patched together. If I were to speculate, I'd that he is more than aware of the logical contradictions and inconsistencies that become obvious when you wade into these waters, hence he can only hint at or briefly touch upon the glaring problems before closing out the video, giving a nod to the "real issues" but stopping short of fully exploring them. Maybe that is because he, like 99.9% of the people in the Catholic Church, he has only explored these issues while looking through the keyhole of Just War Doctrine. Maybe, like 99.9% of the Church, he's never given any serious though to the the other, wider perspective of Gospel Nonviolence. Hence, I wanted to invite him, and you, to my retreat.
