We discuss the Latin origins of English language and literature; the 'Protestant novel'; Romanticism, the heroic self and the Catholic revival; modern and postmodern despair and the potential signs of the future revitalisation of English culture once she returns to the Faith of her forefathers.

Dr Sebastian Morello rejoins The Two Cities Podcast to discuss one of our mutual loves - JRR Tolkien's Legendarium and the political philosophy within it. Topics explored include: the politics of the Shire; subsidiarity; the dichotomy between authority and power; monarchy and regnative prudence; the common good; the corruption of power as exemplified by Saruman and Denethor; the mystery of Tom Bombadil; technology and nature; and tradition vs. 'progress'. We conclude by discussing Tolkien's political theology and the dynamic of fallen men seeking the infinite in a finite world.

Dr Morello is the author of the recently released book, Mysticism, Magic, and Monasteries: https://osjustipress.com/products/mysticism-magic-monasteries

He is also the co-host of The Gnostalgia podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC9ajVAJ50H6OigNptVECww

S.D. Wright from the WM Review (https://www.wmreview.org/) joins the podcast to discuss the conciliar betrayal of the Kingship of Christ. We examine this 'fundamental issue' of apparent rupture in the Church's witness and its interpretations and implications. Further topics discussed include: St Thomas à Becket and the true liberty of the Church, Professor Thomas Pink's attempted reconciliation of Dignitatis Humanae with the Church's traditional doctrine, and Archbishop Lefebvre's stand against 'Religious Liberty' (what Pope Leo XIII called "deceptive words for the legal apostasy of society").

St Thomas Becket died for the liberty of the Church—not for religious liberty:
