One point that might be worth noting: the actual masons actually do a lot more than just brick laying. A master mason is proficient in stone cutting, he knows how to construct a wall of stone, build angles, etc. Some are quite strong as they do a lot of lifting. So it is a combination of the brain and the brawn and is a very noble calling. We have a young man in our parish who is an apprentice. He is just beginning, but hopes to learn all these things. I hope that he is not forced to join the other "masons". Hopefully one can be a real mason and a Christian at the same time.

Dan, that was an interesting point that you made about 9:00 making the connection between the dry protestanism of the day and witchcraft. I was wondering if anyone has made that connection between the similarly dry and anti-catholic/anti-ritual puritanism and the Salem witches?

I don't know what to make of the Jewish/Zionist puppet master theory. There is clearly something fishy going on between America and Israel's involvement with us getting into wars. I think there is temptation to want to tie everything weird going on up into one nice neat hierarchy of evil but is life that neat? Maybe evil is just that diversified and has it's fingers in multiple pots. It's just really weird to me to have watched all these Right Wing people criticize and theorize about all the weirdness that went down over the past few years and now suddenly because Israel wants blood they abandon all the patterns that didn't pass the smell test before and give Israel whatever they want. They just suddenly stopped connecting dots like before and turned into a bunch fanatics for Zionism. And I'm not of the opinion that any of this Israel stuff is even about Judaism or the Jewish people but that Israel happens to be Jewish and gets to play the Holocaust card to justify doing whatever evil they want and the Christian Zionists are just going along with it because they would rather see the world burn if it meant Jesus was going to return sooner. But I'm still very curious what the Jewish/Israel connect is in all the insanity going on...if any real connection at all other than the devil doing what he does best.

bro said "the free masonic plot to destroy the Catholic church" in the most calm way ever lol

How about a video about Vatican II?

Excellent education! I pray people watch, learn and wake up to what is going on in our world!!!

I've learned alot in the short time (one week) since i discovered your channel. God bless and strengthen you in your work. Pls keep the videos coming.

Could you do a video on Rothschild banking?

Awesome content! Thank you for putting up this channel. It answers a very real need for truth & intelligent discourse in this age. I will share it with my family.

They were allowed back in England under Cromwell. After that, they flourished....

Great video! When you mentioned Adam Smith and his contribution to the development of economic theory, I would have also pointed out the contributions pioneered by the Catholic theologians (Francisco de Vitoria, etc.) from the School of Salamanca. In the 1500s (the Spanish Golden Age), they arrived at many conclusions often misattributed to Smith (who was born two centuries later). I generally feel they are not very known and credited in the English speaking world (presumably because of an anti-Catholic/Spanish bias which was always present in England and countries culturally alike).

This was an excellent presentation. Thank you. Can you make a follow up video exploring the possibility of the continuity of The Roman Empire as a hidden governing matrix? All commerce, international courts, and geopolitical relations seem to point to the continuity of Roman rule.

the Lord has BLESSED me with your channel! Te Deum!

It’s pronounced ah-ris-TOH-cra-see.

Hello, just found your channel and I really liked this video, I will watch some of your older ones too in the near future! I have a question though, maybe you answered it in the video and I didn't keep attention or it's just my lack of understanding, but: At 45:48 you say that the desire to have a state to defend one spirit/nationality is an enlightenment based thought. Could you explain why that is?

Roman Empire died with Tsar Nicholas.

Hi and thank you for sharing, very much appreciated. Regarding the _where does theism come from_ section of the video In short the video presents the Genesis garden story which has 2 witnesses to pure communion with The One True God. It argues this knowledge of God was possibly passed on for Millennia, particularly according to one Saint Ephrem the Syrian. So one branch of the argument is that theism’s knowledge of god comes from the witnesses Adam and Eve. *secondly* The other branch of the argument is that knowledge of God comes from those who *intuit* The One True God even though hindered by original and personal sin. A Point: Explaining the 2 points above required the use of at least 50, often highly complex and detailed notions and concepts, many of which are necessary for the 2 points to hold, but highly suspect without circular reference to the story, to make the story true. The theistic foundation of knowledge of God tracing from *2 witnesses* and *individuals that intuit* The One True God - looks extremely thin to me. The thought that plastic spinning toys fall to ground when the spin stops, comes to mind. In my assessment, this argument for theism relies on lots (and lots) of circular spin to stay up. Also note a source of authority in this argument is stated as "this is a dogma of the faith." Thank you again for sharing. I enjoyed going through this section of your thinking and presentation, seeing what you think and reflecting on it. sincerely d Some mundane details supporting the above follow: So where does theism come from? The vid starts off answering - Originally, ‘One God’ belief came from - the *Garden of Eden.* Humanity was created in a state of perfect communion with God, which was ruptured with the original sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve. *This is a dogma of the faith.* _So: Originally, knowledge of The One True God stems from Adam and Eve’s perfect communion with God in the Garden of Eden, but this was stuffed up by original sin. After original sin The One True God *is intuited* or known from Adam and Eve’s experience of perfect communion. Dan’s story has many notions and concepts as pre-requisite for understanding the story. i.e. comprehension is only possible to those taught the dogma. A list of notions and concepts used in the where does theism come from part of the vid. Note some explanation of some the notions and concepts is done along the way. 1. God 2. Creation 3. Garden of Eden 4. Adam and Eve 5. Perfect communion 6. The One True God 7. Sin 8. Original sin 9. Worship 10. The Ultimate Good 11. Human Soul 12. Religious faculty 13. Heaven 14. The Objective Divine Being 15 Transcends Creation by desiring: a. The *Truth,* b. The *Beauty* and c. The *Goodness* 18. Which lead us to _The God who stands beyond the material Universe._ 19. worship the One True God and offer Him sacrifice. 20. The Tower of Babel language confusion and dispersion 21. Sin clouding souls and minds. 22. Life of purity 23. The ultimate foundation of all being and the source of their own being. 24. In a state of personal sin 25. Worship of false gods and idols. 26. Worship of nature 27. The sense of God fades 28. Throughout the History of mankind, certain *just souls* _intuited_ the folly of polytheistic idolatry and they were able to _intuit_ The One True God. 29. Spiritual perception of God 30. Abraham 31. Abraham would seem like he was one of those individuals, that he was able to intuit the existence of The One True God. 32. Sumerian Gods of the Chaldeans 33. The tradition of the worship of The One True God. (going back to Adam and Eve in the Garden) 34. A bloodline that had remained pure to that worship. 35. Intuit the existence of the monotheistic God. 36. Classical literature ... references made to God by Plato & Historians *they intuit* in their grammar the existence of One True God. 37. Story of when Abraham freed Lot … he then met Melchizedek the king-priest of Salem and Melchizedek offered a sacrifice to The One True God. 38. Have to make the link from Adam - to Noah - to Shem as Melchizedek - to Abraham as an unbroken family line preserved by God that kept the knowledge of God from the garden and so this family didn’t have to *intuit* the existence of God. 39. Life spans of hundreds of years - Shem. 40. The sense of The One True God 41. Pagan pantheons 42. Deification of natural forces 43. Angels 44. Demons 45. Angels becoming demons 46. Demonic spirits directly influencing nations and giving them power/protection for worship. 47. High ranking angels 48. Nine choirs of angels 49. Angels possibly having authority over things like the Mediterranean sea. 50. The origin of different pantheons possibly being Angels of God that fell and became demons. 51. Bronze age States in covenant relationship with fallen angel demon false gods or is it just fiction? 52. Pious monotheists like Muhammad.

I'm playing this playlist of lectures while cleaning out my neglected basement. It's most helpful. Thank you.

Hi Daniel. A couple of things… 1) Kindly respect your audience enough to upgrade your microphone. Improving your communication will increase your audience while simultaneously making you easier to listen to. 2) If you sit in front of any solid color wall or cloth, especially intense blue or green, this will enable the chromakey function in your video editor to work much better. If your chromakey function has a ‘feather’ setting, try it out, as it may help with ‘edge jumping’. Good luck with your channel, and cheers.

Best video out there explaining the differences. As a retired educator, I can tell you are a teacher. You even gave a summary to close the lesson. Great job, brother!

Well, a little reading of Juvenal shows that the modern West and the Rome of the Antonine emperors had some similarities.

This was phenomenal. I went to Catholic school my entire life, and I’ve never heard it explained like this. It seems to be that even Catholic school academia prefers the secular worldview of this revolution.

great video... looking forward to more videos🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

You can't have both godlessness and pagan in the same concept. You have to pick one. One may use motifs of a pre-Christian age, but that doesn't make it pagan. This is a laziness among Christians I don't much care for. It would be the same as me saying that travesty in the Olympics opening performance is Christian because it's using a Christian motif, when in fact it was a Satanic inversion. Dressing a prostitute as a non-existent goddess and worshipping her in a cathedral is also a Satanic inversion of Christianity and paganism. Our ancestors would be disgusted, Christian or pagan.

Just watched Bishop Barrons video on Thomas Aquinas, what a great follow up video. Well done sir

Dan, have you heard of the concept that there is a difference between patriotism (being a good virtue) and nationalism (being something that can be a negative concept leading to conflict)? I am not sure if this is a Catholic view point. Possibly it is.

This is all very good information and does lay a fundamental understanding for the next video on the modern era. However there is one slight clarification. The Russian patriarchate was actually re-established in 1917 in the brief period of the free Russian republic. A certain bishop who had actually served in America as the Russian bishop, had returned to Russia and he was elected as patriarch in that year which of course ended with the communist take-over by Lenin and his band. The elected patriarch Tikhon was imprisoned and then released only to die shortly afterwards. The Soviet government proceeded with a furious persecution of the church in general and did not allow for the election of a new patriarch. Most churches were closed and many bishops, priests and nuns were executed. One of the surviving bishop, Sergius, began to court Soviet favour as a means of survival. In 1927 he declared his loyalty to the Soviet state. During the WWII he was actually elected by a synod of a sort as patriarch of Moscow. This event in 1943 was part of an effort by Stalin and the communists to solidify the war effort against Germany. Part of the effort was to bring the Orthodox believers on side with the government despite the legacy of persecution. This also allowed the church for a short period of worship and revival. Unfortunately this situation would not last for long and afterwards a new persecution started when the war had ended with Soviet victory. Interestingly. the Soviet leader who actually closed the highest amount of churches was said to be Khrushchev because he closed most of the churches that had been reopened by Stalin and his cronies as well as the churches that had been acquired with the conquest of what is today western Ukraine. Many of these churches would have been Ukrainian Catholic in the inter-war period, although not all. The Ukrainian Catholic church all but disappeared in the persecution. However a few bishops, priests, nuns and laity were able to function underground either in the incorporated territories or in the gulags of the north and of Siberia.

Just discovered your channel, and it's great. Interesting, clear, well-organized, with wonderful artwork. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Keep up the good work, great series. Given the US institutionalized so many of these ideas and identities, I guess that makes the US blood thirsty white nationalists enslaved by bankers and porn.

8:39 we're living in a society

@PintsWithAquinas id love to hear a long form with this guy!

The Holy Spirit totally removed from my mind when you said Pope Leo the Great instead of Leo XIII When you brought up the encyclical😂 You are almost perfect. Still a great video I'm really enjoying this series

“The ‘power of KEYS’ designates authority to govern the house of God, which is the church.” (CCC 553) Jewish Encyclopedia (1906, page 480): “Keys as a symbol of authority.” (wikipedia.org/wiki/Primacy_of_Peter) 5.) The apostles have authority to BIND or LOSE, but Peter is the MAIN authority because Jesus gives ONLY Peter the KEYS to Heaven (CCC 881) (Mathew 16:18-19, 18:15-20) & makes him the ROCK the FATHER to the CHURCH! (Mathew 16:18) David gives Eli’akim the KEYS to Judah to BIND or LOSE & & makes him the PEG the FATHER to the HOUSE of JUDAH! (Isaiah 22:15-23) The Magisterium: “Teaching authority of the Pope and the bishops.” (CCC 85-90) “He that heareth you heareth me.” (Luke 10:16) (Mathew 16:18-19) (Acts 2:42) “Peter feed my sheep.” (John 21:17) John: Holy Ghost teach you all things (14:26) ye also witness (15:26-27) he hear he speak: he shew you.” (16:13, 20:22)

Yes, because the 30 years' war, which saw the population of what is today modern Germany reduced by from 1/4 to 1/3 due to the wars of religion was a veritable age of peace, righit guise? LOL

Any comments on capital from the juice and how that shaped British foreign policy ?

I’m really enjoying these videos. Nice work!

Force and motion (reaction) was the only creed of the Enlightenment. But somewhere they lost not only the power of action but man himself. Ever wondered why all (western) laws never contain a definition of what man is, only how he can be change and how he is to be controlled. The Enlightenment is the project of the elite controllers.

Re: the State and education, also since 1945 (post-WW2) the State dictates the atheistic, communistic curriculum via UN/UNESCO, even in Catholic schools. It's horrible.

The enlightenment may have preceded Marxism in time but there is not a causal relation between the two. You could just as easily argue that Marxism is thebrainchild of Jesus Christ because it is founded on the Christian principle of not depriving the worker of due wages, which is a sin that cries out to heaven. Neither thesis is correct, however, because Marxism is the brainchild of Karl Marx.

Your videos are well explained and well put. God bless you

thanks a lot

Greatly appreciate your work. But I can't help but think you are projecting your own--and the Church’s--orthodoxy onto Francis. As if your heuristic is, "Francis is the Pope, so he must hold orthodox views, therefore I can say what he meant by quoting the traditional Magisterium". Yet you never quote him confirming this. You simply say, "What Francis meant was this . . .". Also you stuck with Protestant critique of his statement, and ignored the Catholics who criticized his statements. Not all of which were polemic. Thank you for your careful research though, has been a real blessing to me. God bless.

42:04 The comments of Pope Leo reminds me of a story that an immigrant from the Soviet Union told me. She was able to escape and was first able to immigrate to Argentina in about 1948. There the milk man would cry out "Leche" so that people would gather to buy milk. One Argentine woman said to the immigrant...Won't it be great when communism comes and the milk will be free, to which the immigrant replied ...When communism comes, there will be no milk.

38:00 Recently the Minister of Education (or may be child propaganda) of British Columbia said that the state or province had priority over the rights of the parents when it came to the education and rearing of children. British Columbia is probably the worse case scenario in Canada, but Quebec and Ontario are desperately trying to compete for the devil's prize of most woke province in Canada.

Lenin thought so highly of women that he sent hundreds of thousands if not millions of them to the gulags. Stalin out did him in his love for women. Stalin hated his own wife whom he continuously mocked and belittled until she decided to end her life. All the subsequent women he took, including teenage girls, were merely sexual objects for his pleasure. One more detail, Lenin's wife survived him, but not for long. She was probably another victim of Stalin. So much for the Soviet feminism. A tool for Marxist class struggle from the very beginning. That is why I refused to celebrate International Women's Day which is was a project of Lenin and sadly has been taken up by all his stupid little minions here in Canada on all levels of government.

Does one have to say that he agrees 100% with transubstantiation? What about real presence? Is that not good enough? As to how, how are we suppose to know for sure? I believe that Christ is truly present body and soul, but transubstantiation stricts me as a bit too mechanical.

Dan, did not Napoleon snatch the crown from the pope and crown himself and then his queen Josephine? There is a famous painting to support this detail. In it the pope is very much on the side as if outdated and outmanoeuvred.

There's no Pope There's no King There's no God There's no marriage There's no gender (you are currently here) There's no age There's no species There's no body There's no reality

I was looking for this channel. It found me God be praised

This video came on my feed and I am very impressed with it and have subscribed! As ardent listener to dr Taylor Marshall, dr Anthony Stine, Kennedy Hall,the sspx podcast, the traditional thomist (nicholas carvasos), the Fatima center, etc.We need more of this to bolster our faith. God bless you immensely!
