| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:31.1 | Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Tuesday, December 14th, 2021. Today is also the feast day of a great Carmelite saint, St. John of the Cross. He lived during the 1500s, and he was a great part of the reform that took |
| 0:41.2 | place along with St. Teresa of Avala of the Carmelite Order. I know this week on the Catholic |
| 0:47.9 | Sprouts podcast, we are continuing our series on why the Catholic Church is the true church. |
| 0:53.8 | We've already done two big |
| 0:55.2 | parts of this conversation. We talked about why our faith is true, starting with the existence |
| 1:01.6 | of God, the goodness of religion, the fact that Jesus really existed, that he wasn't a liar, |
| 1:09.1 | a lunatic, or a legend, but he was the Lord, and the fact that he founded |
| 1:13.6 | our church, so therefore it was founded by God himself. We've also talked about why our church is good. |
| 1:21.7 | In this discussion, we talked about how the Catholic Church laid the foundation for modern science and modern society. Also, |
| 1:30.3 | how our Catholic faith allows us to become virtuous heroes, like the saints that have |
| 1:38.4 | gone before us. We also talked about how our faith is timeless, how our teachings do not change. Why? Well, because |
| 1:45.8 | they're not just things that we came up with. They were revealed to us by God himself. |
| 1:51.9 | And finally, we spoke about how the Catholic Church is the only place where we can receive and know we have received authentic forgiveness through the sacrament of reconciliation |
| 2:03.5 | because that is how Christ intended for us to receive forgiveness. So we talked about why it is true |
| 2:11.4 | and why it is good. And now we're going on to the third part, why it is beautiful. And even before we get there, why beauty is so |
| 2:20.8 | important. Now, there is a phrase. It was in a novel, but it has been quoted by the church many |
| 2:28.7 | times and is very true. And it is this, beauty will save the world. Beauty will save the world. Maybe that strikes you as |
| 2:42.6 | funny. Maybe beauty seems like something sort of silly to be worried about. But we're going to talk |
| 2:49.6 | about what true beauty is and why beauty is so |
| 2:56.1 | important. So first of all, I want you to think about something that you can objectively say |
| 3:02.3 | is beautiful. When I think about this, I think about the most spectacular sunset I have ever seen. |
