It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

Narration leaves something to be desired

Bad pronounciation of names and terminology
Revisado: 12-16-20
Sorry if you think the way words are said doesn’t matter. It certainly does matter. This is not exactly a book for the completely uninitiated. Most of us are familiar with the people constantly mentioned, the major players. Most of us are familiar with at least the titles of the documents referenced. Most of us are familiar with terms like sedevacantist. And a smaller percentage of us not only studied some Latin, but we studied the proper way to pronounce ecclesiastical Latin. You CANNOT leave this recording to random, uninformed interpretation. It’s negligent. Also, I find it patronizing and maddening that the narrator tries to simulate some strange accent when quoting prominent figures. It’s more than a distraction. The content is excellent, but the performance is so unnerving that I have to look for an alternative recording, and failing that, just get the hardcopy and lend it to friends.

Some Christians decry the deism of our Founding Fathers, claiming that outright anti-Christian principles lie at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, crippling from birth our beloved republic. Here philosopher Timothy Gordon forcefully disagrees, arguing that while anti-Catholic bias kept them from admitting their reliance on Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits, our Protestant and Enlightenment Founding Fathers secretly held Catholic views about politics and nature.

Worth a read
Revisado: 08-18-20
If you know who Tim Gordon is, and you appreciate his podcasts, then you will enjoy his book. The subject and arguments are well presented and supported. I think he has a tendency to be wordy at times, but it may not bother you. What SHOULD bother all listeners is the performing reader’s frequent mispronunciation of words. Don’t they give this guy pointers before he starts to record? It’s really grating on the ear. Again, if you are accustomed to Gordon’s butchered pronunciation of Latin (haha), it may not bother you.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Author: we are 90% chimp
Revisado: 04-17-19
10% bee, guided by mostly ineffectual reason, riding an intuitive elephant. And religion is hallucination. This author, for all his research, dismisses Divine revelation and miracles, the spiritual and metaphysical. He reduces everything to reactions to stimuli and social adaptations. The whole work has the air of justifying his own beliefs, or lack or religious belief. The only reason this gets two stars is because he argues for the conservative as well as liberal mindset without treating either as a disease. Overall, 10 hrs are better spent elsewhere.

In this 1912 classic, wide-ranging polemicist Hilaire Belloc presents a new economic history of Europe and makes his case for "Distributism", the author’s answer to the instability of capitalism and the stringency of socialism. Belloc outlines the major economic transitions through the history of the West, arguing that the civilization began as servile and dependent upon slavery and only emerged with the advent of the Christian faith. The Middle Ages are highlighted as the optimal condition, marked by a fair distribution of property.

Awful narration! Get someone else
Revisado: 02-14-19
This Jackson Moss reads very much like an automated service. Mostly monotone, poor inflection if at all, and no overall flow. His speech is pedantic, making sure to carve out words. Missing the forrest for the trees. What a shame as the book is great.
