The Catholic Man Show - Confusion of the Holy Spirit

Image
Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit About our drink: Balvenie American Oak Cask Inspired to produce an even fruitier, sweeter Balvenie, Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie had the bright idea to import Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky. After deep toasting them at The Balvenie Cooperage they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a delectably complex whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla. About our gear: First Aid Kit Here’s 7 best first aid kit. About the Topic: Let’s clear up some confusion.  What is the difference between the GIFTS of the Holy Spirit and the FRUITS of the Holy Spirit.  Also, how many Fruits of the Spirit are there? Are there 9 or 12?  What about the Charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit? 1830  The moral life of Christians is sustained by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are permanent dispositions which make man docile in following the promptings of the Holy Spirit. [1]

The Catholic Man Show - Why does brain death matter?

Image
What is death and what is brain death? How does this play a role in the sanctity of life? Let’s talk about it! About our drink: West Cork Irish Whiskey A triple distilled, single malt whiskey made with Irish grain and natural spring water. Patiently matured in bourbon casks, the whiskey exudes mild citrus (grapefruit), vanilla, sweet spices and brioche aromas. A smooth and balanced whiskey, the taste is one of malt, lingering sweetness, vanilla, butterscotch and citrus. About our gear: N/A About the Topic: Brain death (BD), the declaration of death by neurological criteria, is an established medicolegal practice in the USA and many countries worldwide.
