Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast: Recent Episodes

Le Nouvel Esprit

Based on the website by the same name, we at the Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast strive to engage in the New Evangelization by addressing the modern world through the lens of Catholic personalism! Join us as we engage our times through faithful and philosophical conversations between three Catholic gentlemen about aesthetics, trends in popular culture, the stream of politics, the challenges that Christians face, and how much of it is rooted in society's view of the human person. We assert that society is in dire need of the paradigm shift to how God views us and created us to be.

Le Nouvel Esprit's video commentary on St. Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, audience 72, from Feb. 10, 1982.

Welcome to this final video on St. Paul's anthropology of the resurrection. In this video, we'll complete our analysis of 1 Corinthians 15 and explore the contrast between the earthly body and the resurrected body, the spiritualization of man through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the role of concupiscence, and the resistance of the natural man to the influence of the Holy Spirit.

As we've seen in our previous videos, St. Paul's vision of the resurrection provides a transformative vision of the human person, one that transcends the limitations of our earthly existence and gives hope for the fulfillment of our human nature in Christ. In this video, we'll delve deeper into the dynamics of this transformation, exploring the contrast between the perishable and the imperishable, the mortal and the immortal, the natural and the spiritual.

We'll reflect on how the spiritualization of man occurs through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which transforms the desires and inclinations of the human heart and enables us to participate in the life of God. We'll also explore the role of concupiscence, the tendency towards sin that remains in the human person even after baptism, and how this resistance to grace can impede our growth in holiness.

Whether you're a theologian, a student of philosophy, or simply curious about the mysteries of the faith, this video aims to provide a thought-provoking and accessible conclusion to our series on the theology of the body and St. Paul's anthropology of the resurrection. So join us as we explore the beauty and depth of the Christian vision of human nature and destiny in light of Christ's resurrection.

Welcome to this video on the theology of the body and St. Paul's anthropology of the resurrection, where we'll delve into the profound insights of 1 Corinthians 15. How does Paul's understanding of the body and its destiny shed light on our own experiences of mortality and the hope of the resurrection?

We'll also reflect on how this vision challenges some of the cultural norms and assumptions about the body, sexuality, and gender, and provides a vision of human flourishing that transcends the limitations of this present age.

Welcome to this video on St. Paul's anthropology of the resurrection and the theology of the body, where we'll delve into the profound insights of 1 Corinthians 15 and Paul's encounter with the risen Christ. How does Paul's understanding of the human body and its destiny shed light on our own experiences of weakness, corruption, and mortality?

In this video, we'll explore the cosmic and interior dimensions of original sin and its effects on human nature and history. We'll see how Paul's vision of the resurrection provides hope for the fulfillment of human destiny in Christ, and how this hope is rooted in his own experience of conversion and encounter with the risen Lord.

Le Nouvel Esprit's video commentary on St. Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, audience 69, from Jan. 13, 1982..

Welcome to this video on the theology of the body and the resurrection, where we'll explore the meaning of Jesus' words on marriage and heaven in the Synoptic Gospels. In Mark 12:25, Matthew 22:30, and Luke 20:36, Jesus teaches that in heaven, there is neither marriage nor giving in marriage, as all are like angels. What does this mean for our understanding of the human body, gender, and relationships?

Drawing on the insights of St. John Paul II's theology of the body, we'll delve into the anthropology of the resurrection and the glorification of the human body. We'll see how the resurrection of Jesus, as the first fruits of the new creation, transforms our understanding of what it means to be human and to live in communion with others.

Whether you're a theologian, a student of philosophy, or simply curious about the mysteries of the faith, this video aims to provide a thought-provoking and accessible introduction to the theology of the body and the resurrection. So join us as we explore the beauty and depth of the Christian vision of human flourishing in this life and in the next.

In this video JPII concludes his discussion on the theology of the body and art. The question is whether the naked body can be a model for audio or visual technology. JPII outlines the duties of the artist towards the human body and art, the role of objectification within the process of creating art, what makes a work of art a true work of art versus something morally objectionable, and the duties towards creating a culture of chastity based on St. Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae. The video concludes with some works of art featuring the naked human body.

In this video JPII continues his discussion on the naked body in art. Art cannot violate shame and personal responsibility. Both of which serve to protect the whole truth of man. The whole truth of man is the norm for determining the moral parameters of works of art. Artists hence have moral norms to live by when creating art.

Le Nouvel Esprit's video commentary on St. Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, audience 59, from Apr. 8, 1981. 

In this video JPII develops the notion of the theology of the body as a pedagogy. This means that the body comes as a task that every human person must live out according to virtue. Next, JPII talks about the relationship between science and this pedagogy, and how this pedagogy becomes a spirituality of the body through chastity. Lastly, JPII connects his analyses with the Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes and St. Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae.

In this video we revisit the question of whether the heart is accused or not by talking about a third interpretation. Using the concept of "masters of suspicion" by Paul Ricoeur, JPII talks about how Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche hold the heart in suspicion. These three masters argue concupiscence has the final say about man. JPII presents the ethos of the New Testament as the counter to these thinkers. In this video we dedicate some time to also explaining who is Paul Ricoeur and Sigmund Freud.

In this video we continue addressing the question raised in TOB 44 concerning whether the heart is to be accused or not due to the fact of concupiscence. One solution is Manichaeism, which believed that the body, sex, and procreation are evil. Here in TOB 45 JPII definitively rejects this interpretation. The Christian message is instead an appeal to the human heart. This video further discusses: 
1) The difference in ethos of Manichaeism and Christianity
2) How the sexual revolution is really a kind of Manichaeism

Le Nouvel Esprit's video commentary on St. Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, audience 36, from Aug. 20, 1980. 

TOB 36 continues investigating the legislative interpretation of the 6th commandment. The language of this interpretation demonstrates that what was considered sexual was "impure", that the focus was on the maintenance of social order, and not concerned with the dimension of the heart as Christ appealed to in Matthew 5:27-28.

Le Nouvel Esprit's video commentary on St. Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, audience 35, from Aug. 13, 1980. 

In this audience, we begin analyzing who Jesus' listeners were and how they would interpret the Sermon on the Mount. This video focuses on the Legislative interpretation of the 6th commandment against committing adultery. The history of this legislative interpretation shows us its limitations since it accepted polygamy within its institutions. JPII argues that this led to a perversion in understanding the 6th commandment, which requires monogamy.

In this video we conclude chapter 1 of the theology of the body. With it, we follow JPII's reflections on the past 22 audiences, while looking forward to what will come next in chapter 2. In this audience,JPII demanded a recovery of what Paul VI called the integral vision of man in his encyclical Humanae Vitae, and also argued for the role his analyses on the theology of the body have on every single human person in order to fulfill himself or herself as a human person.

Welcome to the third episode of the Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast! Join us as we introduce the topic of personalism! 

We share about its origins and about its necessity in this day and age, when mainstream culture's view of the human person is drastically far from what God intended it to be. This distortion comes from both the extreme left and the extreme right. Personalism is a defense of the human person against "-isms". 

This philosophy, of which many of its thinkers are Christians, proves that we are all made in the image and likeness of God, and that God provides ways that we can realize this truth through faith and reason.

Welcome to the second Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast episode! Join us as we, your hosts, Jeremy Hausotter and Guillermo Moreno, (Charles was absent and will come back next time!) go into more detail about the main catalyst for Le Nouvel Esprit! We explain how the idea for LNE was born as a method of apologetics namely against radical traditionalism. 

The idea was sparked by Jeremy in his discussions with his friends who were rad trads, and how their points of view ultimately dissented from the Catholic Church, though they claim the opposite to be true, and that they are the true Catholics, adherents to the "Remnant Church." Guillermo, on the other hand, shares his experience with this right-wing dissent from the Church by being introduced by Jeremy to a rad trad website and their Facebook page, in which Guillermo witnessed firsthand their alt-right paradigm.

Join us as we journey through a brief history of radical traditionalism's godfather organization, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and as we comment on the logic behind their worldview. 

Le Nouvel Esprit is a Catholic personalism website where we address Vatican II, theology, philosophy, and culture.
