Considering college? Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age:
In this episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on a First Things article by Peter Thiel titled 'The Pope and the Antichrist,' which reveals that Pope Benedict XVI took seriously the theological concept of the Antichrist and the end times. Dr. John Patrick connects this to Oliver O'Donovan's 'The Disappearance of Ethics,' arguing that ethics depends on theology rather than philosophy, and traces how Western culture has drifted from its Judeo-Christian foundations. He also discusses Peter Thiel's views on education and entrepreneurship, the erosion of trust and free speech, and shares a detour into World War II history involving Air Marshal Hugh Dowding and the Battle of Britain. The episode closes with a call to recover deep reading and moral formation, especially through children's literature, as an antidote to cultural drift.
