From the dark ages of the past until the present day, human persons have been enslaved to technocratic approaches to our body and our common home, rooted in man’s fallen desire to exercise radical autonomy over nature and to subjugate the created world rather than live in harmony with it.
Instead of joyfully entering into the “seamless garment of God’s creation” (Laudato Si’ 9), we have polluted our waters and stripped the land of its bounty. We have tainted our crops with pesticides and genetic modification. We have unsustainably deodorized our armpits and clung rigidly to old ways of frying.
Until now.
Doing its part to further the restoration of an authentic human ecology, Catholic Answers is proud to announce the launch of its new line of CrunchiFidelis™ foods, pet accessories, and personal care products for Catholics.
“Human beings are a composite of body and soul,” says Donna Barrack, director of marketing for Catholic Answers. “This hylomorphic unity, at the very root of our infinite human dignity, is elevated by and united with God through the mystery of the Incarnation. This got us wondering: why are so many Catholics still using disposable toilet paper and non-organic toothpaste?”
Providing a needed alternative to the dominance of Big Ag and Globalized Corporate Health, the CrunchiFidelis line will offer a full array of locally sourced artisanal wellness items designed to complement today’s clean Catholic lifestyles—from homeschool to homestead.
For example, are you concerned about poisoning your body with seed oils? For your next Lenten fish fry, use Tallow Be Thy Name instead. We’re sure it’ll have you saying, “Holy cow, that’s good rendered beef fat!”
Or maybe you’re suffering from minor ailments of body or soul? In that case, check out our Fruit of the Spirit apple cider vinegar. Bible medicine studies suggest it can promote improved gut health, reduction in blood sugar levels, peace, gentleness, and self-control.
Other CrunchiFidelis offerings that will set you on the road to holy healthfulness include:
- My Lord and My Cod fish oil supplements: put out into the deep and get your vitamin D the biblical way!
- Odor of Sanctity antiperspirant: all-natural, aluminum-free, and sure to give you an “aroma pleasing to the Lord”! (Lev. 1:9). Available in a variety of scents, including Spectral Roses and Burnt Offering.
- 30 Pieces* of Colloidal Silver: guaranteed to . . . to . . . to be honest, we’re still figuring out this one. (*Silver is packed by weight, not by volume. Each package contains approximately 28-32 pieces.)
The benefits of CrunchiFidelis products don’t stop with humans. “The Scholastic tradition clearly teaches that we are to care for our pets in a way that reflects their place in the order of creation, through which they participate in God’s eternal goodness,” says staff apologist Karlo Broussard. “That’s why our Natural Paw brand pet food contains no hormones or antibiotics. Plus it’s made from 100 percent grass-fed beef and certified Fair Trade non-GMO ancient grains.”
“As St. Thomas reminds us in the Summa,” he adds, “‘The Philosopher says, By kibbles is meant the sustenance due to a dog in accord with its nature; in no wise should this contain fillers or artificial colors’” (I-II, Q. 94 A. 7).
Don’t be a fool! Make today, April 1, the day you join Catholic Answers in the next phase of defending and explaining the Faith. Be part of the CrunchiFidelis revolution!
