Logos Rising: Part Two with Patrick Coffin

This rounds out a two-part series on the profound implications and global scope of Jones’ 800+ page Logos Rising: The History of Ultimate Reality. In the first episode, we covered from creation up to the Incarnation of the Logos Himself, Jesus Christ.

In Part Two, we hit the high spots from the early Church and St. Paul, up to the “death and burial’ of Thomism (the study and application of St. Thomas Aquinas to philosophical errors and other problems) in America at Notre Dame University.

In this episode you will learn

  • Why St. Paul’s speech at the Areopagus in Acts 17 failed compared to his efforts in Corinth

  • How the Logos was present, if simultaneously marred, in the rise of Islam

  • Vis a vis the Jews, how does Muslim rejection of Logos manifest itself

  • The discovery of time by St. Augustine in the fourth century

  • Why the Catholic Church strongly endorses the classical realism of Thomas Aquinas

  • How Hegel’s thesis/antithesis/synthesis schema is a secular reaching out for both the Trinity and divine providence in history 

  • The difference between science and Science, Inc and why the latter is alleged to be superior to religion in grasping ultimate reality

  • Why the future and well-being of the West depends upon its recovery of Logos

Fides et Ratio (Faith and Reason)

In a prior video, Apocalypse Deferred, E. Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars magazine, challenged Cardinal Raymond Burke's claim that Christians and the Muslims worship a different God. Many viewers disagreed with Dr. Jones. In this video he defends his position in part by referring to the 1998 encyclical Fides et Ratio by Pope John Paul II. He explains the concept that God is Logos, which means reason and includes the law of non-contradiction. If you violate the law of non-contradiction you violate God who is Logos.

America is riddled with violations of Logos from its beginning, causing Americans to be unable to talk with others meaningfully. Islam also has not been able to deal with its own contradictions and violations of Logos. Dr. Jones proposes a way through this impasse by suggesting we recover the Greek philosophy that Augustine used to direct his Christian theology. Ironically Dr. Jones says the beginning of the rejection of true philosophy and reason began with the follower of Augustine, Martin Luther. From there philosophy dead ended with the son of a Lutheran pastor, Friedrich Nietzche, and Michel Foucault.

Today President Trump and the American government are manifesting that they can not communicate and reason well enough to govern properly without resorting to unnecessary force. With the nations in the Middle East are in a similar predicament. We have a real problem unless we can discover a much better way to talk with each other.

Culture Wars: Catholic/Jewish Conflict

Historian and former Professor, E. Michael Jones is editor of Culture Wars Magazine and author of many books, including Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation & Political Control and The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit: And Its Impact on World History. We begin the hour discussing the triple melting pot theory of American assimilation, involving three ethnic groups and three religions: Catholic, Protestant and Jewish. Jones elaborates on the culture war between the Catholics and the Jews. Then, he'll talk about how sexual "liberation" is used for political control and a form of covert warfare. E. Michael discusses how the original American culture was taken over and supplanted with a Jewish culture. Later, we discuss the rise of political correctness and blowblack of covert operations. In the member's hour, Jones explains the relationship between Catholics and Jews and details where their conflict stems from. He shares his view on what must take place in order for the two to live in the same culture. We'll move on to discuss mass immigration into Europe and the Jewish role behind multiculturalism, while at the same time Israel maintains the last ethnic racial state in the world. Multiculturalism is having the opposite effect of what we're told, but this is by design. E. Michael shares a different take on the impact of Islam in Europe. He also comments on Pope Francis who said Europe needs to bring in more immigrants. Later in the hour, Jones talks about how we are witnessing the end of the American empire.
