CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode--our first diving into American history--we explore the first national Thanksgiving proclaimed by President George Washington, its biblical roots, the profoundly Christian colonial tradition from which it came, and how many aspects of it were fully aligned with the Catholic Faith.

Particularly for those in the United States, a very Happy Thanksgiving!

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we complete our dive into the writings of the Church Father who "Red Pilled" me on the Catholic Church while I was still a protestant: St. Ignatius of Antioch. If you haven't seen it, start with Part 1 first, which is Episode 44: https://youtu.be/CK1_22AjdIQ

St. Ignatius of Antioch was ordained by the Apostles, and barely 70 years after Christ's Ascension wrote astoundingly Catholic things about: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, apostolic succession, the authority of the priesthood, the Christian altar, the necessity of unity, the greater authority of the Roman Church, and even the very name of the one true Church: the "Catholic Church." Today we are publishing Part 2 of this two-part series in honor of my patron saint, who did so much to "Red Pill" me on the Catholic Church.
