Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel (Matthew 15:1-2, 10-14), Jesus warns that religious habits are not enough if the heart is far from God. The Pharisees focus on external tradition, but Jesus points deeper: what comes out of a person reveals what is inside.Also, today, August 4, we honor Saint John Vianney (1786-1859), also known as the Curé of Ars. Born in France in 1786, during the French Revolution, he was sent as a parish priest to Ars, a small village that was spiritually lukewarm. Here he spent forty-two years of his life, devoting himself to prayer, mortification, and pastoral works.His success in directing souls made him known throughout the Christian world. Men of all ranks and conditions of life sought his guidance and advice.He would spend many hours each day in the confessional, sometimes 12 to 16 hours, helping people return to God.His holiness was pastoral and merciful. His message was simple: go to confession, pray seriously, love the Eucharist, and do not be afraid to let God heal what is broken.St. John Baptist Mary Vianney was beatified by Pope St. Pius X, himself once a parish priest, and canonized by Pope Pius XI.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux shows how philosophy helps you by tying fear straight to unexpressed anger from bad parents and pushing confrontation so you finally grow into an adult with real agency. He adds that universally preferable behavior gives a clear standard for ethics and politics instead of excuses or coercion.Questions:If one would start their own company and fail, what is the worst possible financial demise one would face? Bankruptcy? What does that really look like as far as putting the pieces back together and starting all over? How does one calculate their risk? Example: Automotive Detailing Business. ✌

A ten-year-old boy gallops across the Russian steppe on a Kalmyk horse, collecting plants for his father while German settlers starve in earth dugouts along the Volga. Seven years later, that same boy is standing on the deck of Captain Cook's Resolution as it crosses the Antarctic Circle for the first time in history, sketching birds and icebergs in a cabin so small he can barely turn around. By twenty-two he has circumnavigated the globe, published a book that Christoph Martin Wieland called a masterpiece and Samuel Johnson praised for its prose, dined with Benjamin Franklin in Paris, and been elected to the Royal Society. By thirty he has become the intellectual mentor to a young Prussian named Alexander von Humboldt, who would spend the rest of his life crediting Forster as the man who taught him how to see the natural world. By thirty-five he has helped found the first democratic republic on German soil during the French Revolution. By thirty-nine he is dead in Paris, abandoned by his wife, cut off from his country, and buried in a mass grave during the Terror. Today's guest is Andrea Wulf, author of The Traveller: The Revolutionary Life of George Forster and his Search for Humanity. We discuss how Forster's father dragged him from a parish near Gdansk to Russia at ten and onto Cook's ship at seventeen, why his account of the voyage was considered the finest travel writing of the eighteenth century, and how his travels through the South Pacific convinced him that human diversity was not a hierarchy but a harmony, with all peoples entitled to the same dignity and rights. We look at how he challenged Kant, Rousseau, and Buffon before he was twenty-five, why he threw himself into the French Revolution and helped build the Mainz Republic only to watch the Terror destroy everything he believed in, and why a man who influenced Humboldt, shaped the Romantic movement, and anticipated the concept of universal human rights has been almost completely forgotten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we continue our series on republicanism by returning to an episode we did on the complicated legacy of the American Revolution. This older episode now has a 40 minute preface where we discuss the episode and how much things have changed since the original, enjoy!  Like the bourgeois project as a whole, the historical consequences of the American Revolution have had mixed results. Simultaneously spurring on the cause of human freedom and stifling it, the American Revolution was pregnant with a creative and destructive spirit. As the American Empire appears to be in decline, we ask whether or not things could have gone, or could still go, in another direction.

Historian and author Lord Conrad Black joins Secrets of Statecraft _to discuss the third volume of his monumental _Political and Strategic History of the World, covering the turbulent years from the reign of Louis XIV to the outbreak of the First World War. The conversation explores the rise and fall of great empires, the enduring influence of statesmen such as Napoleon, Lincoln, Washington, Bismarck, and Teddy Roosevelt, and the forces that shaped the modern international order.

Roberts and Black also discuss what the successes and failures of the past can teach us about today's geopolitical challenges—and whether humanity's long march has truly been one of progress.

On the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the French Revolution is being re-litigated again—the left holding it up as necessary progress, conservatives citing Burke to argue it proves free-market ideas end in blood. Ryan McMaken, drawing on Rothbard and Ralph Raico, rejects both. Liberalism's role, he argues, was small and confined to the revolution's first months; what followed owed nothing to Jefferson and everything to three forces—the extreme centralization of the French state, twenty-five years of war, and a revolutionary regime that simply replaced the old bureaucracy with a harsher one while keeping every lever of power intact. The real mirror of the American Revolution wasn't the revolution at all, but the decentralist, secessionist peasants of the Vendée it crushed.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 25, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the French portrait painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755 - 1842). From her teens she delighted her high society subjects in and around Paris, notably Marie Antoinette who she painted around 30 times, and she invariably found ways to show her sitters at their best. Some critics were affronted that she, a young woman, dared paint at all and, when they saw how good her portraits were, some spread a rumour that surely this could not really be her work and she must have had a secret male lover finishing her portraits in a studio. The French Revolution forced Vigée Le Brun out of France and so she set off from one European court to another to find more success from Naples to Vienna to St Petersburg and to London, eventually settling back in France.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes on a lonely engineer's habit of looping over minor injustices that hit hardest when he's alone. He traces the isolation to years of distant parents, an unstable mother, absent father, and no real support network, then pushes him to build actual companionship so he can open the door to marriage and family.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/FREEDOMAIN2026

In this episode, we discussed the history of the painting “The Death of Marat”, from the man who the painting depicts, his murderer, the painter, and the historical time period and the political landscapes of the time. We discussed the subtle style of David and why certain elements go on to further enhance the painting. We asked questions like whether Marat was a hero or was he simply a pawn to further the violence of the French Revolution, and discussed the role of artistic liberties in inspiring violence and their effects. We also discussed how art is a sacred tool to gather people together but tear them apart. We discussed this art piece and our thoughts on it as a whole and what we took from it.

In this episode, we talk about “The Death of Marat” and the true story behind one of the most famous paintings of the French Revolution. We discuss Marat, Charlotte Corday, and the artist Jacques Louis David to understand why this painting became such a powerful political symbol. We also explore how beauty, violence, and propaganda come together in the artwork. Join us as we ask whether “The Death of Marat” is a beautiful tribute, a political message, or maybe both.“Comfortable Mystery 4” and “Comfortable Mystery 3” By Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

In this episode, a striking debate is set ablaze regarding the illustration of purity exhibited in "The Death of Marat," created by the painter David: Was Marat's serene portrayal of death a means of propaganda, or truly a tribute to the friendship David and Marat shared? His fate was resolved during the French Revolution, being removed by those who opposed the rise of the new government. Furthermore, did David, a supporter of the revolution, use his comrade's end to strike rage into the people? Join us as we delve into the Reign of Terror, braving the harrowing battlefield that was the cause of Marat's death.

Lindsey Graham's death last week at 71 was as remarkable for the senator's relative "youth" as its possible political and electoral consequences, so much so that it actually prompted conspiracy theories about the precise nature of his passing. Meanwhile, 84-year old Mitch McConnell's status as among the living remains shrouded in mystery, and former president 83-year old former president Joe Biden announced that his memoir would be published in November via his cadaver-esque presence in a promotional video. In short, everywhere we look the signs of our decline into a sclerotic gerontocracy are present, and perhaps no one has approached this problem as comprehensively as Samuel Moyn in his new book, Gerontocracy in America: How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth—and What to Do About It. In this episode we talk with Sam about the historical precedents for our gerontocracy; the nature, extent, and causes of it; why his book is not an attack on the elderly; and possibilities for creatively rewriting our society's intergenerational contract; and more.

Why doesn't history feel like history while we're living through it? The French Revolution. The outbreak of World War I. The Roaring Twenties. Looking back, these moments seem obvious, dramatic, and inevitable. But for most of the people who lived through them, they felt surprisingly ordinary. In this episode of Context with Brad Harris, historian Brad Harris explores the gap between lived history and remembered history. Why has Louis XVI's famous journal entry—"Nothing"—been misunderstood for more than two centuries? Why did most Americans experience the Roaring Twenties very differently from the version we remember today? And why do even civilization-changing events quickly become part of everyday life? Drawing on the work of historian Fernand Braudel, eyewitness accounts from 1914, and examples ranging from the French Revolution to artificial intelligence, this episode argues that history is shaped by two powerful forces: hindsight compresses the past into memorable stories, while human beings rapidly normalize even the most extraordinary changes. If you've ever wondered how future generations will remember the 2020s, or whether we're overlooking the real turning points of our own era, this episode is for you. Topics: French Revolution, Louis XVI, Fernand Braudel, Annales School, World War I, Roaring Twenties, history, historical memory, hindsight, artificial intelligence, civilization, culture, philosophy of history.

For centuries in the villages of southwestern France and northern Spain, there was a group of people who looked like everyone else, spoke the same language, prayed to the same God and were still treated as if they carried some invisible curse. These were the Cagots: forced to live in segregated hamlets, made to use separate church doors and fonts, banned from touching public water or marrying “normal” neighbors, and branded with symbols like a goose's foot, even though no one could agree on what was supposedly wrong with them or where they had come from in the first place.Over hundreds of years, myths piled up, were they lepers, heretics, Goths, Saracens, cursed builders?, but modern research suggests they weren't racially or physically different at all, just victims of a prejudice so deep that by the time the French Revolution finally broke their legal chains, many Cagot families chose to erase their own identity to survive, leaving behind one of Europe's strangest outcast histories: a hated “caste” with no clear origin story and almost no trace.
