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

In today's episode, we dive into St. Thomas Aquinas's "brief" case for the papacy. He makes four arguments, and responds to two objections (both of which are often made by protestants and other non-Catholics to this day!). These arguments come from his apologetic work, Summa Contra Gentiles (Book 4, Ch. 76).

If you aren't Catholic, learn why the papacy makes sense from Scripture and reason. If you are Catholic, learn how to defend the papacy with these great arguments from St. Thomas.

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

In this episode, we interview one of the rising public intellectuals of our age, the English philosopher Dr. Sebastian Morello, about his fascinating conversion to the Catholic Faith. This is the first time Dr. Morello has shared his entire conversion account in public, and we are honored to host him at Eternal Christendom!

Dr. Sebastian Morello is a lecturer, public speaker, and writer. He earned his doctorate in philosophy under the supervision of the renowned conservative philosopher Sir Roger Scruton. He specializes in how the Western intellectual tradition has shaped our political structures, societies, and cultures. He has authored and delivered numerous books and courses to engage the public, and written for various magazines and journals.

Dr. Morello is currently a Contributing Editor, Editorial Board Member, columnist, and filmmaker at the European Conservative, a respected popular journal of political and social criticism. He is also an avid huntsman, and conservationist. He lives in Bedfordshire, England with his wife and children.

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

In this first episode of our "Judas Within" mini-series, we cover how the Church Fathers explained that the Catholic Church was the one true Church established by Christ, and yet also endured great scandal and corruption within.

We show how they unpacked Scripture to explain that the Church on earth will always have to deal with this "Judas Within" the Church, and then share a powerful example of this from the writings of St. Augustine (Letter 208). In that letter, St. Augustine exhorts all Christians to remain within the Catholic Church despite the “Judas Within,” and that doing so is a means of gaining eternal reward and growing in holiness.
