The Marian Fathers are blessed with an abundance of vocations. But what is life like for a Marian seminarian? Brother Josh, MIC, a second-year seminarian at the Marian House of Studies in Steubenville, Ohio, begins a weekly column on his formation journey, which began last year as "Novice Notes."
“Planned Parenthood has just committed $35 million to getting this amendment to change Ohio’s constitution to permit unregulated abortion passed," Kimberley Hahn told Br. Josh and attendees at the event. "This is a David-versus-Goliath battle, and we happen to be David. We want to let the stones fly!”
https://marian.org/articles/wisdom-playBrother Josh takes a class in ethical relativism, the view that all “good and beautiful” is in the eye of the beholder. “Can anyone seriously say that Mother Teresa had no moral superiority to Hitler?” the professor asked.
Learning should be fun, says Br. Josh, MIC. So he embarked on a passionate defense of plant life in his Metaphysics class...
"If I enjoy the sight of a beautiful landscape, that gives me happiness," Br. Josh, MIC, learns. "If my mind arrives at a truth, this gives happiness.”
"Ask 'why' long enough and you would come to the original 'why' for the first thing’s existence," Br. Josh, MIC, discovers. "This is Professor Plato’s 'ultimate goal.'"
Brother Josh, MIC, ponders the various arguments for and against the existence of God, and the study of metaphysics suddenly becomes entertaining.
