Creative Catholicism - Making Catholicism Work - Episode 15 - Humility The Catholic Pinnacle
Father James Grant discusses stoicism, a philosophy focused on self-improvement and duty, significantly influenced ancient Rome for 500 years. Despite its admirable principles, its practical application was often lacking, as illustrated by figures like Cicero and Marcus Aurelius. In contrast, Catholicism provides a more holistic approach to human improvement, extending beyond personal development to include spiritual growth and understanding life’s purpose. It emphasises humility as a virtue that curbs self-love and recognises humanity’s reliance on God. Maximilian Kolbe exemplified this humility through his selfless act in Auschwitz, showcasing its transformative power.

Creative Catholicism - Thinking Out Loud - Episode 10 - The Subject You Never Talk About
Father James Grant recounts a conversation with a friend who rejected his suggestion to become Catholic, viewing it as controlling. He reflects on the perception of the Gospel as offensive to those who believe they are okay, and argues that the Church should proclaim the truth about self-indulgence and lack of love in Australian society. Despite potential backlash, he believes honesty is crucial, as Christ died for each individual.
