Welcome to the Tomistic Institute podcast.

Our mission is to promote the Catholic intellectual tradition in the university, the church, and the wider public square.

The lectures on this podcast are organized by university students at Temistic Institute chapters around the world.

To learn more and to attend these events, visit us at to mystic institute.org.

So it's a privilege to introduce Professor John Cutteback.

He's a professor of philosophy at Christendom College, where he's taught for 25 years.

He lectures widely on topics including virtue, fatherhood, friendship, and household. And you can find his

professional writings in a number of academic journals. And you might want to check out his book.

You can find it on Amazon or probably in a good bookstore. It's titled True Friendship,

where Virtue becomes happiness. And it's published by Ignatius Press.

On the Timisic Institute podcast, you can find several of his talks. He's been a long-time contributor.

Two, I'd like to highlight. One, is masculinity toxic, a Timisic perspective on marriage,

and then also preparing for a life and a household,

a biblical and temistic perspective. So you can also find his thought on his own website,

Lifecraft, which aims to assist people in freeing themselves from vain pursuits and craft a

vibrant life rooted in relationship, reality, and presence.

Professor Cutteback will be giving us our second conference for this retreat, titled

Household as Natural Revelation of Masculinity and Feminity.

Please welcome Professor John Cutterback.

Well, thank you very much, Father. I'm super excited to be here.

I want to say, first of all, I'm being completely serious right now. This is a safe place.

I want you to have complete freedom. Sometimes I get a little bit intense and I might make some assertions that might seem a little bit.
