Setting the Record Straight - The Eucharist War - 4/28/18

It is necessary for you to enter the Adoration Chapel. Evil is often done by ordinary men. Evil is banal. If you haven’t realized this then you have not been awake to the domain of pain which we inhabit. We are in great peril, teetering on the cliff edge of chaos. But since some cannot admit it their vision reaches only to the the curtains of their dreams. They ignore the chaos beyond the window. A rational materialist sees what is happening and hardens or despairs. An ordinary man may commit astoundingly evil acts under the influence of a faulty ideology. When one does believe, however, and realizes the truth of the Presence, one will perceive that the depravity of the world will finally be healed. When we merge with the Presence order assembles out of chaos. This podcast was inspired by the work of the phenomenal Jordan Peterson.

Setting the Record Straight - The Slavery Weed - 4/6/18

No matter how often slavery is abolished it sprouts up again and again like a weed. But when and where was slavery abolished? Well…the full answer is complicated. Slavery was abolished over and over again in various locations. A simplified answer might be that it was opposed and/or abolished frequently in a lot of places, most often in a time and place where the Catholic Church was influential. Most educated people know about the achievements of Wilberforce and Lincoln. But those two men were late to the game of abolishing slavery. Under Catholic emperors the late Roman Empire abolished slavery a millennium-and-one-half before Wilberforce. All this leads to “Another Daring Proposition”from Setting The record Straight”. Catholicism did more to abolish slavery than any other entity.

Setting the Record Straight - “Tis St. Patrick’s Day - Believe it or Not ! The Irish Monks saved Us All - 3/18/18

It was the great age of the Irish monks. With an ardor first ignited by Saint Patrick they managed to save us from the Muslims and from something worse, from the worst part of ourselves. Think of Saint Columbkille who led his army as they slew three-thousand-and-one souls in the dispute over a transgression Columbkille had committed. He had copied by hand a valuable yet private book. A Book War! The first founding copyright case ! What a bibliophile ! Soon he confessed his mortal sin. His Penance was to be exiled from his beloved Ireland and to go and save three-thousand-and-one souls in just measure. He did more…much more than that. He renewed the sweet Christian spirit, the towering intellectual pursuit, and the fiery spiritual ardor of our beloved Catholic Church bringing the brilliance of Christ of light to millions in a world teetering on the edge of chaos.
