For the last five years, the Political Right has been debating over a program for regime change in America: should populism be used to construct a new elite class? Should a new administration retire all government employees? Can the bureaucratic state be maintained but filled with new conservative staff? In this podcast, Alex Denley and Dr. Andrew Willard Jones discuss subsidiarity as the solution to this debate, and how it provides a program for genuine regime change.

Are we headed to a grand and glorious technological future, bright with gizmos and gadgets and flying cars? In this talk, Andrew Willard Jones expects the opposite: "The Future is Always Worse Than You Think It Will Be." As he explains, there are two paths with the development on new technologies: one which leads to an extension of the humane world into greater areas, and another, the technocratic, which closes and mines the world from within. This talk was given at the 2024 New Polity Conference "Should We, Therefore, Destroy the Servers?" Registration is open now for New Polity's 2025 conference "Our Kind of People."

The Church sees the world as God's good and harmonious Creation, a primordial peace. In his acclaimed book Before Church and State, Andrew Willard Jones revealed that society in the High Middle Ages was a striving toward liberation by grace, which led to subsidiarity. In The Church Against the State, he argues that this uniquely Christian political form is still with us, present in our love, our courage, and in all that is noble within us, brought to new life through the Church. In this podcast, Marc Barnes interviews Andrew Willard Jones on his new book The Church Against the State.

Everyone has a sense of what is just and unjust, but what is the source of justice? In this episode of "The Politics of Paganism," Alex Denley and Dr. Andrew Willard Jones discuss Plato's "Republic." Through a discussion of the luxurious city, the myth of the mixture of the elements, the Allegory of the Cave, and finally the Philosopher-King, Alex and Andrew show the tension in Plato between relative and absolute justice; between the shadows of justice in the city and true justice that the philosopher contemplates. If you want to read ahead, next up is Plato's "Republic."

As the liberal order continues to collapse, rival voices have gained popularity—groups that aren't content secularizing religion, but rejecting Christianity altogether. Old pagan arguments are resurrecting: the aesthetics of power, might-makes-right, vitalism and tyranny. Alex Denley and Dr. Andrew Willard Jones discuss their new series “The Politics of Paganism” and how Christianity can understand and defeat the pagan attacks against it.

America is sinking into pagan practices and beliefs. While Americans may not use the same language as the ancient pagans, John Daniel Davidson believes that the central pagan creed is present: there is no truth, everything is permitted. Liberalism had attempted to create neutral spaces, but as those spaces become more fought over, the only rationale can be one's own power. Dr. Andrew Willard Jones and John Daniel Davidson discuss the roots of a pagan worldview, the extent to which America is pagan, and how Christians should approach the pagan political order.

iberalism is failing. Instead of making us more free, we are becoming more isolated from what makes us most human: from community, family, and friendship. Debates between progressives and conservatives continue to no end, but things only seem to get worse. In this episode of Pints with Aquinas, Dr. Andrew Willard Jones presents a paradigm shift for politics. Against the story of secularism, where politics and religion are separate realms, Andrew argues that Christ came to save all that is human: politics, economics, business—all of it. Instead of fighting over a failing liberalism, Andrew shows us why (and how) we should redeem politics by building families and communities of Christian love.

Unknown. There is evidence to suggest that the line of Louis XVI continued through Louis XVII, but mysterious circumstances surround the child-king's imprisonment and potential escape. He was 11 years old when he was imprisoned by the Revolutionary government, and yet a 14-year-old boy was found deceased in his cell. The KNOWN senior Bourbon descendant is Louis Alphonse de Bourbon (if crowned, would be Louis XX) The French monarchy author mentioned is Xavier Reyes-Ayral. The interview between him and Joe McClane can be found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFzKTlXfoJo The current Duke of Anjou is Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, who, as stated above, is the apparent senior Bourbon heir. The term Anjou-ism is seen used by those legitimists (pro-French-monarchy activists) who do not believe that Louis Alphonse is the rightful heir. There are other claimants: https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/Mag/French-Facts/Who-are-the-four-rival-claimants-to-the-French-throne The Uprising in the Vendée occurred as a response to Revolutionary incursions into the Vendée, persecution of faithful priests, the murder of Louis XVI, the attempted installation of apostate priests in the parish churches in the Vendée, etc. It was a peasant uprising, nonetheless, led by noblemen and soldiers. It was successful for 3 years until the military campaign of the Catholic and Royal Army of the Vendée failed in the Loire valley.

In this episode of political saints, Andrew Willard Jones, author of "Before Church and State", discusses the life of King St. Louis IX. Dr. Jones shows how Louis fulfilled his role as king within his role as laity. Instead of the modern way of viewing Church and State as in tension with one another, King Louis saw himself as a lay member of the Church sanctifying the temporal order.

The liberal tradition frames the story of modernity as the gradual victory of freedom against state hegemony. Liberty, the consent of the people to be governed, and individual rights are the mainstay of western society. But are we really more free than before? What if freedom isn't what we think?

The same is true w/ theological virtues. They can't be diminished by their being shared. Even though when you have a human institution must still pursue the common good. Today statism is a huge problem. Practically speaking Andrew Willard Jones is correct b/c the states don't know their limits.  Joe Biden and Company are not libertarians, the COVID fanatics and lockdown fanatics are statists.  They are all into coercion and using it for all the wrong things. Subsidiarity - the family - we tend to think of it as this practical arrangement only. What can get done at the lowest level is done there not at the next higher level. The Common Good Party -  Enjoying such goods - lower levels a child must be taught to love art. Episode 350: Thoughts on Time and Salvation Our Readers And Listeners Keep Us In Print & On The Air!

Andrew Willard Jones, Director of the St. Paul Center and Faculty Fellow at Franciscan University of Steubenville talks to Fr. Mitch about the centrality of Christian history and how it relates to and directs secular history.

The liberal tradition frames the story of modernity as the gradual victory of freedom against state hegemony. Liberty, the consent of the people to be governed, and individual rights are the mainstay of western society. But are we really more free than before? What if freedom isn't what we think? Historian and theologian Andrew Willard Jones talks with Grant about the ways that liberalism contradicts the Christian idea of the human person, how liberalism ultimately tends towards tyranny, and what a post-liberal world might look like. What is the role of government if self-gift and peace are seen as the foundation of human society? How ought the Church and state relate to one another? Most importantly, how can we work here and now to build a just post-liberal society in a culture shaped profoundly by individualism?

In this final episode of the Politics of Tyranny, Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes attempt to tie together the many techniques of tyrants into one, comprehensive package: war. All tyranny is the expansion of the state of war into places of peace for the sake of private gain.

Population control isn't just in the forced sterilizations and genocides of tyrannical regimes. It is wherever people subordinate the human good of procreation to the punishments and rewards of the regime. We're all eunuchs now, say Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes.

On this first anniversary of the Raised Catholic podcast here in the midst of Advent, we're considering the weight and value of Mary's 'yes' at the Annunciation, and we're exploring the divine 'yesses' in our own lives, including many of my own personal 'yes' stories. I hope these resources will help you explore this topic on your own in a deeper way. 1. "What Mary's Yes Means For Us," by Andrew Willard Jones at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology 2. Video: Say Yes to God: The Immaculate Conception Explained, by Fr. Mike Schmitz with Ascension Presents 3. Podcast: Abiding Together - look at their beautiful Advent series from this year and years past. 4. Journal questions: When has God presented me with an opportunity or open door or invitation in my life? What did I do with it? If I said yes, how did it work out? If I said no, is there some way to change that 'no' to a' 'yes' today? 5. Song: Thy Will Be Done, by Hillary Scott 6. Song: Trust in You, by Lauren Daigle 7. Podcast: That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs and Jeremy Cowart - hear the beautiful story of Jeremy's hard and ongoing 'yes' to creating The Purpose Hotel along with a few other hard 'yesses' in his life 8. Say Yes to God, A Call to Courageous Surrender, by Kay Warren 9. I'm Possible: Jumping into Fear and Discovering a Life of Purpose, by Jeremy Cowart 10. Song: Anyway, by Crazy Whirled “People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God. It was never between you and them anyway.” Mother Teresa

It's easy to recognize a tyrant. It's hard to recognize a good rebellion. Still, rebellion is a moral obligation for Christians under tyrannies. Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes discuss why, and how you can begin the hard work of rebellion, starting with martyrdom and ending in war.

In the summer of 2020, when protestors called for removing statues of St. Louis IX, many Catholics found themselves asking “How dare they?”, followed by “Wait, who's St. Louis again?”In this episode, we get re-acquainted with one of the great monarchs and saints of medieval Christendom.  Join us as we learn about Louis' partnership with the Church in “the business of the peace and the faith,” his legacy of striving to build a flourishing Christian society, and his lessons on the ultimate purpose of politics.  (By the end of the conversation, you'll want his statues to keep standing tall!)Our guest is Dr. Andrew Willard Jones, author of Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX.  Dr. Jones serves as an Assistant Professor of Theology and Director of the Catholic Studies program at Franciscan University of Steubenville.0:00 - Introduction2:30 - St. Louis 101 - sanctity in the office of King8:02 -  How the medievals understood sacred and secular (hint - it was better than we do)12:00 - St. Louis as passive observer or active architect of social order?21:05 - All the King's helpers24:55 - Medieval differentiation vs. modern equality30:20 - To offend the peace is to offend the faith34:15 - The common mission of the King and the Clergy37:30 - King and Pope as best buds41:35 - What about the average Joe in the Most Christian Kingdom?44:25 - Priests and magistrates at the King's Court - teamwork makes the dream work 47:00 - From Louis IX to Louis XIV and beyond - where did things go wrong?50:25 - The folly of viewing the Middle Ages through a modern lens53:25 - St. Louis' lessons and legacy for our times57:00 - ConclusionIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting Crown and Crozier with a tax-deductible donation here:  DONATE  Documents/Websites referenced Dr. Andrew Willard Jones (CV)Dr. Andrew Willard Jones, Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX(2017)Letter of Saint Louis IX to His SonColleen Schrappen, “St. Louis Archdiocese responds to calls to remove statue of city's namesake”, St. Louis Post-Dispatch (June 29, 2020)Please note that this podcast has been edited for length and clarity.Support the show (http://missionoftheredeemer.com/crownandcrozier/)

For freedom we've been set free, right? So how can freedom be a tool of a tyrant? Spend the next hour with Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes to find out.

The myth of equality is a tactic for hiding the deployment of tyrannical power. Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes unpack this assertion in today's episode.

Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes answer your questions, and describe the way the Church is, and is not, tyrannical. 05:06 Are the tyrants conscious they are tyrants? 16:41 Would you say all entertainment is propoganda? 24:16 Is there a time you can point to and say “There, that's when tyranny started to rear it's ugly head.” 31:29 How is the Church not itself a tyranny?

Political fanaticism, the natural result of a failed ideology, is a tool that keeps real power and property in the hands of tyrants. Andrew Willard Jones and Marc Barnes explain how. Help us make more: visit https://www.newpolity.com/donate

Large-scale governance isn't bad, but in the hands of tyrants, it becomes a tool for alienating and atomizing the particular person from his family, friends, and his own creative reasoning, stifling rebellion before it begins. Featuring Marc Barnes and Andrew Willard Jones.

It argues that while the spiritual and temporal powers existed, they were not parallel structures attempting to govern the same social space in a contest over sovereignty. Rather, the spiritual and the temporal powers were wrapped up together in a differentiated and sacramental world, and both included the other as aspects of their very identity. The realm was governed not by proto-absolutist institutions, but rather by networks of friends that cut across lay/clerical lines. Ultimately, the king's "fullness of power" and the papacy's "fullness of power" came together to govern a single social order. The prevailing narrative of human history, given to us as children and reinforced constantly through our culture, is the plot of progress. As the narrative goes, we progressed from tyranny to freedom, from superstition to science, from poverty to wealth, from darkness to enlightenment. This is modernity's origin myth. Out of it, a consensus has emerged: part of human progress is the overcoming of religion, in particular Christianity, and that the world itself is fundamentally secular. https://www.amazon.com/Two-Cities-History-Christian-Politics/dp/1645851222 (The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics) In The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics, Andrew Willard Jones rewrites the political history of the West with a new plot, a plot in which Christianity is true, in which human history is Church history. The Two Cities moves through the rise and fall of empires; cycles of corruption and reform; the rise and fall of Christendom; the emergence of new political forms, such as the modern state, and new political ideologies, such as liberalism and socialism; through the horrible destruction of modern warfare; and on to the plight of contemporary Christians. These movements of history are all considered in light of their orientation toward or away from God. The Two Cities advances a theory of Christian politics that is both an explanation of secular politics and a proposal for Christians seeking to navigate today's most urgent political questions.
