What Is Democracy? w/ Bishop Robert Barron 1:24:04

3d ago1:24:04

1:24:04

In a letter to the Massachusetts militia, John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” What are the origins of our system of democracy? How is it faring in the modern world? And what becomes of democracy if it is no longer informed by a moral and religio…

Why Liberalism Failed w/ Patrick Deneen 2:18:16

17d ago2:18:16

What exactly is liberalism? And what has it become?

Solzhenitsyn’s Harvard Address w/ Gary Saul Morson 1:14:34

1M ago1:14:34

1:14:34

In 1978, a Soviet dissident and former Gulag prisoner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn stood before the graduating class of Harvard University and offered the commencement address. But it wasn’t the address they expected (or necessarily wanted). In fact, it caused great angst among the contented intellectual classes. Join me and Dr. Gary Saul Morson, eminent…

Why Mary Matters w/ Alexandra DeSanctis 1:17:51

1:17:51

The New Ressourcement w/ Jason Paone 1:25:04

3M ago1:25:04

1:25:04

In the ruinous aftermath of the Second World War, the Catholic intellectual tradition found itself at a crossroads. Had the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, an anchoring point for over half a century, sufficed in responding to the ideological inferno that was World War II? Or was there a need for a Ressourcement—a “return to the sources” of our Cathol…

The True Meaning of Humanism: Religion and Human Values w/ Randall Poole 1:22:27

4M ago1:22:27

1:22:27

The word “humanism” was still in its nineteenth century infancy when it was stolen and transformed by Marxists and atheists. But, today, is there a religious humanism that champions human dignity, acknowledges man’s response to God’s saving grace, and wills the good of the other on their way to God? Join me and Professor Randall Poole as we discuss…

Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist w/ Fr. Damian Ference 1:24:43

4M ago1:24:43

1:24:43

“The truth doesn’t change according to your ability to stomach it emotionally.” So said the ingenious, straight-talking novelist Flannery O’Connor. Who profoundly influenced the faith and fiction of one of the finest (and most shocking) writers of the twentieth century? None other than St. Thomas Aquinas. Join Tod and Fr. Damian Ference as they exp…

The Political Thought of David Hume w/ Aaron Zubia 1:54:02

1:54:02

What would happen if a brilliant philosopher penned influential works that undermine the religious and moral underpinnings of society only to replace them with utility and appetite? It doesn’t end well. Join Tod and Professor Aaron Alexander Zubia as we dive into his new book, The Political Thought of David Hume. Stay up-to-date with the latest epi…

Common Sense in a World of Health Fads w/ Sal Di Stefano 1:32:10

6M ago1:32:10

1:32:10

When everything is telling people to do things in a way that will make them sick, fat, and unhealthy, to be healthy is an act of rebellion. In his 2021 book The Resistance Training Revolution, Mind Pump host and fitness trainer Sal Di Stefano bluntly tells us the fitness industry has been plagued with more myths than ancient Greece. Join us as Sal …

The Catcher & the Catholic Faith w/ Mike Piazza 1:25:33

6M ago1:25:33

1:25:33

The year was 1984 when a sixteen-year-old Mike Piazza had a visitor come to watch him hit baseballs in the batting cage his father crafted at their Phoenixville, PA home.

The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful w/ Joseph Pearce 1:06:36

7M ago1:06:36

1:06:36

To explore the history of the Catholic Church is to encounter soaring heights and catastrophic depths, the grace of the Divine and the grit of our sin. At the center of this two-millennia spiritual odyssey has been the goodness of the saints, the beauty of the arts, and the pride of fallen man. How do we begin to comprehend the seismic sweep and en…

8M ago1:55:03

8M ago1:34:24

1:34:24

“In almost all of [Seneca’s] tragedies,” sixteenth century playwright Giambattisa Giraldi Cinthio confessed, “he surpassed . . . all the Greeks who ever wrote—in wisdom, in gravity, in decorum, in majesty, and in memorable aphorism.” And yet no one seems to remember him. Who was this ingenious ancient Roman thinker and writer? Join me and celebrate…

How 1923 Made Adolf Hitler w/ Mark Jones 1:59:51

8M ago1:59:51

1:59:51

While many argue that Adolf Hitler was “made” upon the 1939 outbreak of World War II or his 1933 accession to the Chancellorship of Germany, one historian reasons that the ordinary man became Führer in 1923. With the French occupying industrial portions of Germany, the economy fell into a tailspin and political radicalism skyrocketed. This led a ra…

1:29:56

What happens when a cradle Catholic wanders from his faith, succeeds brilliantly as a Protestant in the Academy, only to find himself convicted through his own research and the grace of God of the truth of the Catholic Faith? As G.K. Chesterton wrote, “The moment a man ceases to pull against the Church he feels a tug towards it. . . . The moment he…

Why Children's Literature Matters w/ Haley Stewart 56:11

10M ago56:11

56:11

"I am inclined to set it up as a canon,” C.S. Lewis clucked, “that a children’s story that is enjoyed only by children is a bad children’s story.” To read children’s literature as a child is to be immersed in a world of wonder. To read them again as an adult is to begin to understand what they truly meant. Join me and Word on Fire Spark Editor Hale…
