In a current video on the
Pints with Aquinas
channel, Gregory Pine, O.P. voiced
his concern that mass leisure, significantly music and films,
is commonly an impediment to reaching the heavenly finish of contemplation
for which we’re made. What’s noteworthy is that not like the
typical Catholic commentary on popular culture, Fr. Pine doesn’t focus
a lot on the ethical content material of music and films as how their very
type impacts us bodily, psychologically and spiritually.

On this dialogue impressed by
Fr. Pine’s factors, host Thomas Mirus and filmmaker Nathan Douglas
specify some components of music and movie that are obstacles to the
contemplative life, but in addition counsel how, moderately than merely
eschewing music and films, we are able to have interaction with higher artwork in a
deeper method which serves the contemplative finish of man.
