The Schism continues and Rome is coming back a little bit, but there is a long way to go.

This is the last episode with our beloved Catholic Bytes Trio and they will be discussing the word telos and it’s very profound meaning.

Our understanding of what our end is, determines how we lives our lives. We are made with an end in mind, and that end must shape the way we live. We can’t live open ended…despite what Miley Cyrus tries to tell us in The Climb.

Tune in to hear how Jesus lived his life with his end in mind and some reminiscing from the early days of Catholic Bytes.

We are working on transitioning the Catholic Bytes podcast to the Catholic-Link podcast and part of that means we will have more content from our Youtube Channel! This is a quick hello from Drew and Katie Taylor sharing more about this transition.

We are talking about Evagrius of Pontus again and break down of the sin of wrath. Many people struggle with anger, and Evagrius says that anger and wrath are the enemies of true prayer. When we are angry it blinds us and we often have reactions we wouldn’t normally have or condone. Two things can happen: we act on our anger (and later regret it) or we don’t and we feel like a whimp. So…what’s the correct way to react when experiencing anger? Tune in and find out more!

In this episode we discuss acedia as described by Evagrius of Pontus. We often hear it described as sloth or laziness, but a more accurate understanding is “sadness”, “despondency”, or “despair”. Laziness is a symptom and not the sin itself. Fr. Rob and Fr. Conrad break down the main symptoms of acedia and also how to combat this sin. Tune in to learn more!

We’ve had many drafts here on the Catholic Bytes podcast, so now let’s keep that going and discuss our favorite 20th century theologians!
