Lots of intriguing information. Thanks.

Thanks for the interview--I found it very helpful as I only Wyszyński via Karol Wojtyla's history. While it was a lengthy tangent, I really appreciate hearing Filip speak about the smear campaign against JPII. I knew about it vaguely and very glad for the details. Keep up the good work.

Great conversation and so much to learn about forgotten / neglected history! Thank you

Awsome. Is there.a transcript?

You cite DB Hart's translations of Erich Przywara. It would be fascinating to get DB Hart to comment on the political tone of this conversation: Reagan/JPII in alliance and American Catholics as the guardians of the faith (according to George Pell, a man of very dubious reputation). I imagine that DBH would provide an interesting counterpoint that would remind any Catholic viewers in the audience to avoid identifying too quickly with cultural conservatism. In other words, it's a little disappointing how much this interview flirts with right-wing Catholicism and doesn't do justice to the legitimate correctives offered by Pope Francis (in spite of all of his real shortcomings).

I understand the reductionism of the idea that my goal in life is to make it to heaven, that is, to die in a State of Grace (friendship with God). Many even say they only hope to sneak into purgatory. It's a minimalist form of Catholicism that was typical of the preconciliar era where the layity was merely expected to follow the 10 commandments and basic precepts of the Church. But even many Saints have had a similar attitude of self-abasment and scrupulosity under the guise of humility that I find somewhat disturbing. What does this say about their vision of the eschaton, and do you think there was a degradation vis-a-vis the Church Fathers?

Thanks for this. Very enlightening. I attended a state university for my undergraduate degree, where 'religion' was 'studied' in 'comparative religion' courses, mostly from a sociological perspective. If you want to know where to look for the source of the ills in our contemporary cultural climate, look no further than what is being taught in the universities.

How would I truly describe this, attempting to summarize it? 💨☁☁--- It was an hour of fumbling around reviewing a wide panorama of visions, where each vision envisioned a new vision of visions while slowly reshaping themselves by sliding and fading into new emerging visions, just as in a kind of fractal-shaped ad lib zooming sequence without control of its speed and/or direction. And when I was about to decide to pause it, it had suddenly ended by itself. --- 💨☁☁ And no, sorry, I would not be able to summarize it otherwise, as no final vision was ever envisioned.

Love the podcast guys, but these mid-roll ads are getting to be a bit much.

Can't continue to watch. This guy must live in a bubble.

CATHOLICISM IN CRISIS!!!!!! MILBANK WILL SAVE US THIS MAN WILL SAVE THE CHURCH!!!! MILBANK IS THE SOLUTION 🎉

These middle men grew up in the era of Heavy Metal, ACDC, First Lady Nancy Regan attending HAIR as a AIDS benefit, performer such George Hearn singing I Am What I, the ebbing of the Cold War, Cindy Sherman stunning photography, Punk Rock, Dave Allen, Deng Xiaoping’s re-emerging China, novels such as Enders Game, Colour Purple. But they hardly ever reference such art, music or social movements of their own youth. I am wondering if Apologist are not so much out of contact with young people of today, but never connected to their own peers.

If Christian’s get to judge LGBT folks, that means that LGBT folks get to judge Christians. Who said… “Judge not, lest ye be judged?” Christian sexual repression leads to sexual abuse. According to the French government, the Roman Catholic Empire raped over 32O,OOO innocent French children. Just since 195O. If we extrapolate from this French datum for the at least 8 other Roman Catholic dominant countries, we end up with over 3 million children raped by Roman Catholics just since 195O. The FBI is currently investigating the rampant level of sexual abuse of women and children in the Southern Baptist Convention. Which is the largest Christian denomination in America. Liberty University, the famous Evangelical University, recently was fined 14 million dollars for just ignoring the significant level of rape on their campus for many, many, many, decades. Christian sexual repression is not innocent, as it leads to an ugly level of sexual abuse. So take care whenever you are in the sexually toxic Christian community. Especially the child raping Roman Catholic Empire. Remember that idealism is always, always, always, based on denialism. This is why the Christian community is once again attacking the LGBT community as being sexually dangerous. Which is clearly a projection. LGBT folks are not groomers. As the evidence demonstrates the actual groomers are largely sexually repressed Christian males. They are just engaging in ugly and hateful deflection to hide and conceal their own sexual toxicity. They are just scapegoating and distracting from their own sexually criminal behavior and history. "Look over there, not over here." So don't be fooled by all of their ugly and hateful lies. And remember that if Drag Queens are all about love, then it begs the question as to what Christianity is actually all about? So therefore perhaps Drag Queens can help Christians learn how to love better. As currently they all seem so love disabled. Even though Mother Nature has never been heterosexual, but has always been, and will always be, LGBT. Just like her natural world of which we are all a part. See the brilliant and amusing recent Peacock documentary titled: QUEER PLANET.💙

There was the material age, now we are in the atomic age, in the future is the quantum age. As the Precession of the Equinoxes is the case we are still in the age of Pisces moving towards Aquarius. The quantum will unleash energies and that could be problematic. As brain science takes off there will be ideologies; eliminative materialism and trans humanism. Many young people today are lost and are committing suicide. Consciousness is the hard problem for philosophy; it is not understood that it is God. That it is fundamental and that Mind is elemental emerging with quantum events. That we are individualized souls and that we will always prevail is not understood by everyone; if it was it would give hope in even the direst of times. Christ consciousness is seen as something that arose in one person who thereby saves others. The truth is that Christ’s life is meant to be an example; we have to evolve to save ourselves and expand our own consciousness. If life has meaning anything can be endured. If life has no meaning nothing can be endured. The Church kept the dark occult out of the mainstream in the ascent of the dark age to the age of reason. What is it doing today to stabilize things and especially reach out to youth who appears to be in major trouble? How do we bring back meaning that life has purpose and whatever we endure is worth it. The definition of religion is-that to which we are bound. What are we bound to; a vision of consciousness and mind that is expansive or to the perspective of material science that makes everything reductive; to biology to matter. Like Merlin being banished into the earth, many today are banished into the meaningless of materialism and see no exit. That is tragic and it does not have to be the case.

John's prescription of a Biblically founded education sounds a lot like my Lutheran, parochial education in St. Louis. I left the Church in my 20's to explore a secular identity. I'm back, as the alternative seems very much a great dead end.

Great interview

Hi everyone, Catholics in Europe are losing touch with the story of God's dealings with His people, as told in Scripture and tradition. The idea that we don't really know what Jesus said reminds me of comments by a prominent South American priest, though I can't quote him exactly. Alice von Hildebrand once said there's no one as profound as the Germans, but unfortunately, no one knows what they're saying! 😂 Thankfully, some people like Dr. Rowland make sense of it all. Most of Pope Benedict's influences are new to me, apart from Guardini and Pieper. Could you please post their names and links in the description? For years, I tried, with God's grace, to build a family following St John Paul II's vision. In the end, I found it profound, meaningful, and unliveable. My marriage broke down, and my son, now 18, refuses to go to Mass. Please pray for us. From my experience, I believe Wojtyla's teachings need further development rather than just reiteration or rewording.

Tracey Rowland is one the best theologians in the Church today.

Very interesting interview about contemporary France.

Would you mind listing your book choices in the show notes?

Thumbnails of your video are not attractive due to which your video is not getting views.

I watch your videos and I like your videos very much. You have many videos on your channel but very few views on the videos. Your videos are not serving the right audience due to SEO issues. I think you should focus on SEO so that you can get a big fanbase. Thank you.

I do love understanding the Catholic Church as the real and true effectual Truth. Thanks!!

This discussion is a gift 🎁!! Thank you! You guys are doing such great work in zoomtown. Ps. Caravaggio any day ;)

Oh Love the name of your institute. Dr DeClue is awesome.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! Thank you, gentlemen!

America is finished.

Thank you to all three of you for a great conversation! Minor correction: The Caravaggio painting on the Calling of Saint Matthew is at San Luigi dei Francesi (the French church in Rome). I presume Larry was referring to the Conversion of Saint Paul and the Crucifixion of Saint Peter, other Caravaggio works that are at Santa Maria del Popolo. All of them great works, of course.

Great conversation on an important topic.

I love Peguy, thanks to being introduced to him by the John Paul II Institute. Interestingly, he and Therese of Lisieux were both born days apart in January of 1873.

Original and very important. Joanna Clark

Good talk about transcendence breaking into "real world."

That was great. You guys always have fantastic guests! Thanks.

An excellent interview with a wonderful teacher and thinker in Dr. Hanby. I suggest that your focus on early Modernism, Bacon, and the 20th century obsession with power are all part of the same continuum. My personal theory probably sounds bizarre but is not without merit: that the reaction of European thought to the catastrophic effects of the Little Ice Age (beginning early in the 14th century and lasting until the 20th century)--Famines, the unbelievable effects of the Black Death and three hundred years of recurring plague--left Western society with a tight focus on gaining power over nature, if just to survive. This also fueled the view of God, if loving, wasn't involved in one's very hard everyday life. Thus, the development of technology to gain power over a "cruel" natural was a good thing that helped people survive. The problem, of course, that it got out of balance.

Excellent podcast! Loved it!

Loving this!! 🙌🏻✨ Radical (DLS-style) thanks to all! I also just suggested Péguy to a reading list for a senior seminar at my son’s high school, so little girl hope is still on the run 🙌🏻✨

Another excellent interview!

The (relevant) words from the "39 Articles of Religion": "The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that we should duly use them. And in such only as worthily receive the same, they have a wholesome effect or operation: but they that receive them unworthily, purchase to themselves damnation, as Saint Paul saith." -- 39 Articles of Religion: Article 25

Check out New Polity and the new Caolege f St. Joseph.

Another phenomenal conversation! Thank you for giving us access to such profound reflections.

Always look forward to your conversations!

Very enjoyable conversation! Thank you, gents.

interesting to see the descent into craziness of the Word on Fire-adjacent crowd continue...

Great conversation about the specific time we're in. Really taken with the inter-generational nature of the exchange...part of the 'handing on" that gives me hope.

Will you be uploading audio to a podcast feed for distribution?

"People are people" What I call the Robby Burns principle: "A man's a man for au that."

Letting in a breath of fresh air! Thank you all. ✨🙏🏻✨

He was a great man. Long live the legacy of St. JP 2. 🙏❤️ all of his encyclicals are profound!!
