The Lies of the Sexual Revolution Part 2
Join us for another enlightening session on the "Catholic Frequency Podcast" where we continue our deep dive into the "Lies of the Sexual Revolution" with Sean Berube. In this second part, we explore the Catholic perspective on healthy sexuality, contrasting it with the misconceptions propagated since the 1960s. Sean shares insights on how to navigate contemporary challenges with faith, wisdom, and a commitment to truth.
Notes
- Sean explains how the sexual revolution was not just about personal freedom but was strategically designed to destabilize society, referencing key figures like Kate Millett and Herbert Marcuse. He points out how these ideologies aimed to disrupt family structures and moral standards, leading to a society where promiscuity is celebrated over traditional values.
- The episode explores Catholic doctrines from "Humanae Vitae" and "Theology of the Body," emphasizing how sexuality should aim to transform eros into agape, fostering a love that mirrors divine love. They discuss the countercultural stance of the Church against contraception and how this stance has been a point of controversy but also prophetic in its warnings.
- The conversation turns to the concepts of celibacy and chastity, explaining their roles in Catholic life and how living these virtues often faces societal pushback. Sean shares personal experiences, reflecting on how his return to chastity influenced those around him, prompting curiosity and sometimes even conversion among his peers.
- Marriage is highlighted as a sacred covenant that aligns human sexuality with God’s plan, offering a path to sanctify both the individual and the relationship. This discussion underscores how marriage can counteract the destructive effects of the sexual revolution by promoting love as a gift of self.
- Sean and Shannon touch on the cultural fightback against modern sexual ethics, with Sean expressing optimism about reclaiming traditional values through personal holiness and community building. He announces his new project, a men's community focused on Faith, Fitness, and Philosophy, aimed at fostering a return to these values.
