JD Vance, Thomas Aquinas, and the Ordo Amoris | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Patrick Briscoe
With his upcoming visit to the Vatican, JD Vance went viral with his talk about Ordo Amoris. But what is the Ordo Amoris? Is it Biblical? What does St. Thomas Aquinas say about it? Am I supposed to love others more than myself? Where does the world of politics fit into the order of love? On this week’s episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Patrick teach us the proper order of love.

CONVERSATION FOR CONVERSION
Godsplaining is a Catholic podcast hosted by five Dominican friars of the Province of St. Joseph. In each episode, we help you to deepen your faith, pray with confidence, and tackle today’s difficult issues. Taking ideas from the Church’s Scriptures and tradition, we bring them to bear on life’s most urgent questions. So tune in, as we converse to convert.
The friars of Godsplaining are Catholic priests in the Order of Preachers, better known as the Dominicans, a religious order founded in 1216 by St. Dominic to preach the truth of the Gospel for the salvation of souls.
For over 800 years, the Dominican friars have sought to form hearts and minds through their preaching and their witness to Christ. On Godsplaining, the friars share the fruits of their prayer and study as contemplative preachers in a contemporary age.
