Dr Peter Chojnowski joined the Two Cities Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion on Catholics and the Cold War. Topics discussed include: Operation Gladio; intelligence agencies; the bitter fruits and legacies of the Cold War; the potential infiltration and subversion of Triumph Magazine and Christendom College; the Catholic inferiority complex in the face of pagan ideologies; the subversion of remaining Catholic societies in Spain and Portugal; the false dichotomy of liberal capitalism and socialism; the illusion of the "counter-revolutionary moment" of the 1980s and the 'deoxygenating' of Catholic political thought within the Americanist milieu. We conclude by asking, where is the Catholic counter-revolutionary movement today?

Dr. Chojnowski has written 2 books and over 300 articles and reviews for a variety of publications, including the British Catholic Medical Journal, Catholic Family News, the Latin Mass magazine, the Journal of Metaphysics, and the Fatima Crusader. In November of 2017, Dr. Chojnowski established Sister Lucy Truth incorporated in order to investigate the life and identity of Sister Lucy dos Santos of Fatima.

Dr Sebastian Morello rejoins The Two Cities Podcast to discuss one of our mutual loves - JRR Tolkien's Legendarium and the political philosophy within it. Topics explored include: the politics of the Shire; subsidiarity; the dichotomy between authority and power; monarchy and regnative prudence; the common good; the corruption of power as exemplified by Saruman and Denethor; the mystery of Tom Bombadil; technology and nature; and tradition vs. 'progress'. We conclude by discussing Tolkien's political theology and the dynamic of fallen men seeking the infinite in a finite world.
