13 Ways You Choose WRONG! | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. 

If only C.S.Lewis doodles channel would animate this lecture, that would rock!

This is just going to make my scrupulosity so much worse....

Father Pine really called me out

"Hesitancy" I think that has a name, analysis paralysis.

Another fiery wreck! Oh my! 15:45 😆 Father, your self-aware wit interjected throughout your talks always makes me chuckle.

This is soul medicine. Thanks for articulating how to identify these subtle vices!

Outstanding 👏

Great…more things to stress about doing wrong. Just what I needed.

This is a great video. Pints with Aquinas is one of the best channels because of the mix of content like this.

This illustration reminded me of how sin means missing the target. Too far either way is wrong. Virtue is right on target.

8:36 One way of sinning against a choser is, you refuse to acknowledge what he has chosen, then go on and cheer him on "get your choice done!" and if some do it long enough, he might once again miss an opportunity, and when once again he choses what you don't want for him, there you go again.

I love your work. Any chance you can let us know of books we should read and study on when it comes to philosophy with an emphasis on Aquinas??? And yes I read your book “Prudence.” It was fantastic

I am guilty of all these vices, please pray for me. God is much greater than our sins but we need to pray for each other also

Oh boy more help with a confirmation retreat. This just might work into a small group breakout session.

I've never encountered this idea of a virtue lying somewhere on a spectrum between "too much" and "too little" of the quality, but it seems like a really interesting and helpful way to think about it. Thanks!

14:59 Sins against the choices of the other would involve for instance piling up de facto tasks which someone can't do, in order to stamp him as precisely negligent.

9:22 Yeah, and one of the ways you can sin against another choser is imposing inconstancy by taking constancy for inconstancy. In 2000, I had made my general vocational choice : religious life NO, marriage YES. How many crooks have since then pretended I am inconstant about religious life, when I'm in fact constant about marriage, and am constantly getting that sabotaged, sometimes in the end of the person I intend to marry, someone dissuades her, sometimes in the end of the means, "no, he doesn't really need an income from his writings, he can serve God as well without an income" ...

The examples were oddly relatable.

15:56 Some people with a superstitious trust in psychiatry might stamp it as criminal negligence if someone opposes psychiatry, or refuses to take his or her medications. One of my reasons against "John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis" is, "John Paul II" around the time of San Egidio peace prayer with non-Catholics (which preceded the Srebrenica massacre), also made some kind of peace agreement with psychiatry. I think that was criminal negligence or even treason, against the liberties of Catholics targetted by Anti-Christian shrinks.

I think throughout my entire life, I have checked ✅ all those boxes of sin and even before, during, or sooner or later, I realized I was doing such thing(s) Thanks be to 🙏God🙏 we have the sacrament of reconciliation (confession) although I need to assure repentance; otherwise, confession is utilized, obsolete, annulled, compromise, doesn’t count, meaningless, etc, etc… and I will continue to remain in Sin. Even though I’ve might have been ignorant at first and later realize what I have done was a sin or contributing to a sin from my side. 😌😣 ouch…

I suspect Fr. Pine is introvert. He seems to regularly and consciously talk to himself 😁✌️ God bless you, Fr. Pine!

When you get distracted because he uses CT as an example and you're from there. Father Pine just knowing the geography of CT like it's no big deal

I am thinking about quitting OB/GYN residency, I started just 3 months ago , cause when I graduated from med school, I thought this was what I wanted it was the perfect combination of surgery and medical screening which in med school was my two favorites, I enjoyed them so much, but now I am exhausted, I’ve worked so hard in med school that now I just want to pick something « easy » something comfortable that will let me enjoy life outside of an OR or an hospital I wanted to go into public health, but everyone I asked for advices keep saying to me that I have a talent and they don’t want me to waste it I just don’t wanna do it anymore, I’m not quitting medicine but I don’t wanna be a clinician no more and I don’t know what to do, I am scared of walking away from something that could actually take me far in my career, and choose something « easy » because I don’t want to make proper sacrifices to gain more, I don’t know

Raise your hand if you feel personally victimized by yourself thinking you’re being personally victimized by Fr. Pine

Mesotes Teaching of Aristotle

Any one else thing of the knight in the Indiana Jones Movie that say's "He chose poorly".

5:00 Before we get to sins the choser can do, what about sins against the choser? So and so dislikes his deliberation, dislikes his choice, interferes with the seeing through ... poses delays, poses distractions along the delays, poses weakening factors (like sleep privation or noise) to weaken his resistance to those distractions. Look how old people were in Genesis 5 when they got sons, a) in the Masoretic chronologies (including Vulgate and Douay Rheims), b) in the LXX. Does one man getting three sons at the age of 500 strike you as somewhat ... odd? What happened? One version says Noah really wanted to be a monk, but was finally persuaded to marry at long last (it's a Greek addition to the patristics list for the passage, but not a known Church Father). What are the other possibilities? Well, one of them could be above scenario? Right? Matthew 24:37 conf. 1 Tim 4:1--5.

Is it negligence if you legitimately have a bad memory?
