The Case for Christian Nationalism ~ Stephen Wolfe 1:18:45

10M ago1:18:45

1:18:45

What is a nation? What is a Christian nation? Is nationalism virtuous? What does it mean to practice "complacent" love, which is the natural expression of a greater affinity for those closest to us? How can we expect to renew our society and civilization in the absence of committing ourselves as persons and as a nation to Christ? And is a Capitol H…

12M ago54:35

54:35

Centuries ago, when what we now refer to as “States” were just starting to take shape, who did they turn to for guidance on how to perform their basic functions?

1:13:39

If you’re a regular consumer of Catholic and Christian media, there’s a good chance that you’ve come across the term “integralism." “Integralism” refers to the school of thought which says that the Church can direct the State to adopt policies which advance the ends of the Church and help enforce Church law. Sounds wild, doesn’t it? And yet, if you…

Pope St. John Paul II once said: “As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live.” What’s the state of marriage and family these days?

2y ago45:37

45:37

Should pastors be political? Before we instinctively leap to the answer “NO!”... What if we examine that question in the light of what the Church teaches are a pastor’s three primary responsibilities - teaching, sanctifying and governing?

To be convicted of a crime, a person must be proven guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Indeed, “reasonable doubt” is one of the hallmarks of our modern criminal justice system.
