Podcasts about Robert Hugh Benson

Lord of the World was written in 1907 and is considered one of the classics of dystopian literature. The author, Fr. Robert Hugh Benson, was a Catholic convert from Anglicanism who wanted to write a book about the Antichrist. Lord of the World is that book. Malrubius (Chris), from The Sun Eater discord, joins the show to discuss Lord of the World, why it was important to Pope Francis, and how it impacted other science fiction literature. *************************************************************************************************************Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrberSubscribe to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@imightbelieveinfaeries7563Subscribe to my Substack - for updates on the show, essays, and more!Donate to my Patreon - I Might Believe in Faeries https://www.patreon.com/imightbelieveinfaeriesLike my Facebook page - I Might Believe in FaeriesBattle Of The Creek by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Logo Art by Linnea Kisby************************************************************************************************************* Get full access to I Might Believe in Faeries at aaronirber.substack.com/subscribe

This is Part 2 of the discussion between Sarah de Nordwall and her guest Robert Cassidy on the remarkable 1907 novel “Lord of the World” by Robert Hugh Benson which explores the principles at work in a society that produces the “strange fruit” of state sanctioned euthanasia. None of the themes that Benson explored are lacking in relevance today - the role of the Pope in world affairs, the effects of communism, freemasonry and the insidious and then explicit worship of man as God. All are convincingly worked through in the novel, as is the extraordinary power of the Hidden Christ and the role of personal and liturgical prayer. This is part of our mini-series on euthanasia in film, novel and drama: helping people imagine the out-workings of government-assisted dying in order to oppose the Leadbetter Bill.

Following on from our previous episode of the Bardcast's mini-series on euthanasia in film, novel and drama: helping people imagine the out-workings of government-assisted dying in order to oppose the Leadbetter Bill, Sarah de Nordwall and her guest Robert Cassidy have an energetic discussion of the remarkable 1907 novel “Lord of the World” by Robert Hugh Benson and explore the principles at work in a society that produces the “strange fruit” of state sanctioned euthanasia. Learn about the tragic and prescient story of 18 year old Mabel and what she learns at the end…that her society could never have helped her imagine.If you would like to be part of the Write for Life Academy please contact Sarah at sarah@sarahdenordwall.com

In this, the second half of our conversation with Peter Thiel, the discussion delves into Thiel's reflections on ancient prophecies, particularly the concept of the Antichrist as outlined in biblical and literary sources. Drawing from thinkers such as Cardinal Newman and fiction by Vladimir Solovyov and Robert Hugh Benson, Thiel explores how apocalyptic ideas remain relevant today, particularly in light of global challenges like technological risks, nuclear threats, and international governance. The conversation examines the tension between fears of Armageddon and the dangers of a one-world government, emphasizing Thiel's call for critical thinking, balanced globalization, and the need to integrate historical and contemporary insights into a coherent framework for action.

Sinopsis: "Señor del Mundo" es una novela distópica escrita por Robert Hugh Benson, publicada por primera vez en 1907. Ambientada en un mundo futuro marcado por agitación política y social, la historia gira en torno al ascenso de una figura carismática y enigmática llamada Julian Felsenburgh, quien emerge como un líder global y finalmente se convierte en el «Señor del Mundo». La novela explora temas de religión, secularismo y el choque entre fe y ateísmo en un mundo donde las creencias religiosas tradicionales han disminuido y se ha establecido un nuevo orden mundial. A medida que crece la influencia de Felsenburgh, la novela sigue la vida de varios personajes clave, incluido un sacerdote católico llamado Padre Percy Franklin, que lucha por mantener su fe ante una sociedad que cambia rápidamente y que es cada vez más impía. Tanto el Papa Francisco como el Papa Benedicto XVI han recomendado esta obra. El Papa Francisco la describió como un libro que muestra la «globalización de la uniformidad hegemónica». La novela aborda temas contemporáneos, como la fusión de la tecnología y la política, y ofrece una advertencia sobre los peligros de un mundo sin espiritualidad. ""Señor del Mundo"" es asombrosa por sus predicciones tecnológicas y políticas, muchas de las cuales se han hecho realidad. La obra anticipa los movimientos masivos y el peligro de un mundo materialista que niega lo sobrenatural, permitiendo así la entrada del Anticristo. Benson nos advierte sobre el costo de la globalización sin valores espirituales, haciendo de esta novela una lectura indispensable para entender los desafíos actuales.

John J. Miller is joined by Nicholas Babich of Notre Dame to discuss Robert Hugh Benson's book, 'Lord of the World.'

A prayer request: https://ctkclassical.org/employment.html Jesus Christ still lives upon earth as surely, though in another and what must be called a "mystical" sense, as He lived two thousand years ago. For He has a Body in which He lives, a Voice with which He speaks. As two thousand years ago He assumed one kind of Body by which to accomplish His purposes, so He has assumed now another kind of Body in which to continue them; and that Body consists of a unity of a myriad of cells—each cell a living soul complete in itself—transcending the sum of the cells and yet expressing itself through them. Christianity, then, to the Catholic is not merely an individual matter—though it is that also, as surely as the cell has individual relations with the main life of the body. But it is far more: it is corporate and transcendent. The Catholic does not merely as a self-contained unit suck out grace through this or that sacramental channel; the priest to him is not just a viceregent who represents or may misrepresent his Master; a spiritual life is not merely an individual existence on a spiritual plane. But to the Catholic all things are expanded, enlarged, and supernaturalized by an amazing fact: he is not merely an imitator of Christ or a disciple of Christ, not merely even a lover of Christ; but he is actually a cell of that very Body which is Christ's, and his life in Christ is, as a matter of fact, so far more real and significant than his individual existence, that he is able to take upon his lips without exaggeration or metaphor the words of St. Paul—“I live—yet it is no longer I what live; it is Christ that liveth in me”; he is able to appreciate as no separatist in religion can appreciate that saying of Christ Himself, that unless a man lose his life, he cannot save it. --Robert Hugh Benson, The Mystical Body and Its Head --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hucklefather/support

Father Dwight Longenecker returns to Merely Catholic for the tenth episode of the podcast series for the Catholic Herald, this time talking to Dr Gavin Ashenden about the English Catholic inheritance and what it means to both Britain and the world in the early 21st century. In this fascinating conversation, Father Longenecker, fresh from a pilgrimage tour of England, offers the perspective of both an American and a former Anglican on the role and significance of the English martyrs and upon a distinguished Catholic literary tradition which includes such figures as Robert Hugh Benson, Evelyn Waugh, GK Chesterton, Grahame Greene, JRR Tolkien and Elizabeth Jennings. English Catholics, he says, should do more to treasure and conserve the riches that have been left to them.

In this episode of "What Catholics Believe," Thomas Naegele and Father William Jenkins discuss current topics and viewer emails. First, there are many on the Immaculate Heart of Mary Prayer List who need prayer; pray for Jude and some elderly in our community who are suffering.

Viewer email: sister in the Novus Ordo and dating a man who was civilly married and now divorced — can they marry? Viewer email: How can the SSPV priests offer Mass “without jurisdiction”? Viewer email: Can a Catholic man be a stay-at-home dad?; God established the Catholic husband as the head of the household and family; a head of household bears the responsibility to decide what is best for the wife and the children; dangers of a mother being a “career woman” Viewer email: Can cremation be licit?; Catholic Church forbids; Novus Ordo allows; cremation was primarily pagan and gnostic; “Green burials”; financial motives; the importance of acknowledging the resurrection of respecting the body Final topic: The Dominance of Environmentalism; after COVID scare, climate fear; respecting the environment vs modern-day environmentalism; leftist schemes for control and attacks on human life; environmentalism as a religion; Vatican's Ettore Gotti Tedeschi — environmentalism the religion of the future; human beings now seen as the enemy of the earth; manufactured population control; Gaia as the supreme value; environmentalism and its ties to abortion; the devil appearing as an angel of light; Pachamama in the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica with prayers and processions; Pachamama the “Earth Goddess” and Francis' “Laudato Si”; Francis, the One World Religion (“Gaianism”) pointman?; the Amazon Synod — dripping with personification of nature; Francis' promotion of animism (a pagan belief in spirits of natural objects); Francis new “work of mercy” for the environment; Francis and the desire for a different God; Freemasonry's longstanding plot and their use of the Vatican; GEF's Yuval Harari — now we have the power that tyrants only dreamed about; Francis against the “restorationists”; Cardinal Ottaviani to Paul VI — the New Mass rejects doctrines of Trent; New Mass will force a “crisis of conscience” and Catholics will have to make a choice; Francis — Catholics must make a choice between Trent and Vatican II; taditional Catholics must avoid the deceptions of environmentalism and relate all questions about to the environment to our Catholic Faith; abuse, wastefulness, and reckless pollution wrong; Catholic children always taught responsibility and taking care of things; mega corporations and politicians not a model of stewardship — selling poison and then products to offset the poison; Robert Hugh Benson's novel, “Lord of the World — Antichrist's acolyte, “Fr.

5 April 2020 Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion NOTE: Due to the Covid19 / Coronavirus Emergency the Archdiocese of New York has cancelled all public Masses for an indefinite period. The homily attached hereto was given on 9 April 2017, Palm Sunday, Year A, using the same Readings as for today, 5 April 2020. Passion According to Matthew 26:14 – 27:66 + Brief Homily 35 Minutes 0 Seconds (Homily begins around 29:37) Link to the Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/040520.cfm (http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/032920.cfm (New American Bible, Revised Edition)   From the parish bulletin of Sunday, 5 April 2020:   The term “parochial” is frequently used in a condescending sense, but no one today can get away with thinking that to be parochial is to be isolated from reality. As I write, the Navy hospital ship “Comfort,” last seen here on the Hudson River after the World Trade Center horror, is passing by our rectory windows. The convention center nearby, usually home to flower and boat shows, is being converted into a huge emergency hospital.    This is how we approach the start of the Holy Week in which the faithful observe the most important thing that ever happened since the world was created. With powerful shock this Lent, mortifications have been imposed by circumstances beyond human control and not chosen by the exercise of free will. Now the Passion will be more powerful, because the Gates of the Temple are closed. The holy apostles thought themselves bereft of the One they hoped might be the Messiah. On the Mount of Olives, three of them slept a depressed sleep, haunted by anxious confusion. Varying circumstances in every generation have given the impression of being abandoned by the One who had promised to be with us always. Blaise Pascal wrote: "Jesus sera en agonie jusqu'à la fin du monde: il ne faut pas dormir pendant ce temps-là." (Jesus will be in agony until the end of the world. We should not sleep during this entire time.) The solemnity of those words was the freight of the confidence that tethers agony to victory.    In a book I wrote years ago, I remarked that modern communications have made popes more visible than ever, but a dangerous result is the impression that their significance issues from celebrity. Last Friday, Pope Francis stood alone in the dark and rain of a totally empty Saint Peter’s Square, and then blessed the whole world with the Blessed Sacrament. Because it was in what is now called “real time,” it was a stunning evocation of the final scene in Robert Hugh Benson’s dystopian novel, Lord of the World. The Anti-Christ would try to destroy the Church, attacking the lone figure of the Pope exiled in Nazareth, as he holds the Blessed Sacrament. The future Pope Benedict XVI spoke of that book in 1992, and Pope Francis mentioned it in 2013 and 2015.    Bulwer-Lytton wrote many fine things and is mocked only because one line has become a cliché. “It was a dark and stormy night.” That dark and stormy night when the Pope stood alone before the Basilica of Saint Peter was the harbinger of victory and not the whimper of defeat.    Now there is even concern that palm branches might be infected. No matter. This will be a great Holy Week, because “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out” (Luke 19:40).  

Inspirational stories, factual or fictional, of the Sacraments celebrated under trying circumstances. Today we hear a description of the deep prayer of a priest interceding for a struggling world.

This episode explores some ecclesiastical terrors in R.H. Benson's ‘The Traveller'. It was ‘too ecclesiastical' for M.R.

On this month's episode of Trad Reviews, it's all about some old and new "classics" today at TradReviews. We will discuss Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson's famous novel Lord of the World, Alfred Hitchcock's film I Confess, and the classic game of chess. If you have not read Msgr. Benson's works, this show will be a worthy primer into his most famous novel, one that if read through the eyes of the faith, provides a sobering parallel to the world in which we live today and a very plausible scenario for the rise of the antichrist. We will take a look into Hitchcock the director, his style, his vision for bringing to the screen a story in a distinctly unique manner and what he provided to the viewer. Host Stephen Heiner will talk about the importance of these topics and what should be kept in mind when reading, viewing, or playing. Join us on this episode of Trad Reviews.

Here we uncover another dystopian classic: Robert Hugh Benson's little-known novel from 1907, Lord of the World.

El cuento del padre Meuron (Father Meuron's Tale) es un relato de terror del escritor inglés R.H. Benson. No tengo el dato preciso, de modo que es apenas una presunción, pero sospecho que este es el primer relato de exorcismos de la literatura fantástica. Existen, desde ya, escritos sagrados donde se detallan estas operaciones, incluso el exorcismo como práctica se cita en muchas novelas anteriores, pero en El cuento del padre Meuron, el exorcismo es el núcleo y la estructura del relato. Los lectores de la novela El Exorcista, quizás encuentren un vínculo entre aquel padre Merrin y este otro, Meuron; menos americanizado pero con la misma templanza para eludir las razones psiquiátricas de la posesión. Estuve a punto de agregar una observación sobre el carácter ficcional del relato. Pero teniendo en cuenta que su autor, Robert Hugh Benson, fue primero pastor y luego sacerdote católico, es justo dejar la puerta abierta a otras interpretaciones. comentario extraido de: http://elespejogotico.blogspot.com.es/2009/08/cuento-del-padre-meuron-rh-benson.html Música: Coro de Monjes del Monasterio de Santo Domingo de Silos.

Robert Hugh Benson lived from 1871 to 1914, in his book Lord of The World, it seemed like he was able to see a future without religion, or a future where religion was outlawed completley. Was he a prophet or just a great writer?contact me with any ideas on this great book atTippyTalkShow@gmail.com

Welcome to episode 11! Our latest podcast features Mike Avery’s conversation with Dr. Michael Murphy of Loyola University of Chicago. After taking in the breath taking views of Murphy’s office, the two ventured into such topics as literature and theology, the problem of poverty tourism, and the significance of the Catholic imagination. They also talked at length about Murphy’s journey through different parts of California, the life giving service of a high school teacher, and his love for Jesuit education.   Michael Murphy is Director of Catholic Studies, an interdisciplinary program at Loyola University Chicago, and teaches courses in both Theology and English. Mike’s interest in the scholarly possibilities for interdisciplinarity began to take shape at the precise moment he finished “The Enduring Chill” by Flannery O’Connor as an undergraduate at the University of San Francisco. He recalls setting the text on his chest and then erupting out loud, “Behold the many threads we are asked to contemplate! This needs something more than what the homespun English major is prepared to supply”—or something to that effect. The subsequent issues interrogated in his Master’s thesis, Flannery O’Connor: From Paradox to Mystery, were also masonry for his first book, A Theology of Criticism: Balthasar, Postmodernism, and the Catholic Imagination (Oxford, 2008), a text that proposes a framework for reinvigorating the dynamic interplay among the literary content, theological interpretation, and critical theory/practices. He also writes on other aspects of theological aesthetics—how theology and spirituality are expressed in literature, poetry and film—and has interests in eco-theology, social ethics, and the socio-political cultures of Catholicism as well. Mike has just finished a theological introduction to a forthcoming reissue of Robert Hugh Benson’s 1907 dystopian classic Lord of the World (Ave Maria, 2016) and is at work on a longer monograph on the scope of Catholic realism in late modern literary fiction. He lives in the Chicago area with his wife, two daughters, and faithful black lab.

Our quote for today is from Robert Hugh Benson. He said, "The Church must be intelligible to the simple as well as to the shrewd." In this podcast, we are making our way through Garry R. Morgan's book, "Understanding World Religions in 15 Minutes a Day." Our Understanding World Religions topic for today is, "Hinduism Today"  We've already seen that Hinduism displays tremendous variety even in India. India's place at the forefront of twenty-first-century globalization and modernization has impacted religious practice, as well. Rural life mostly has gone on as it has for centuries, despite the introduction of radio and television, but in cities, a burgeoning middle class is being changed by the secularizing influences of Westernization. India, a nuclear power, is noted for its progress in science and technology. It's also the world's largest democracy, and the political aspirations of its people sometimes clash with Hindu values.  This clash is most evident today in the social and economic aspirations of the Dalits (Untouchables). For centuries given the lowest jobs, they achieved legal rights at India's independence from Great Britain in 1947. Mahatma Gandhi called them ha-ri-jan, "children of God," and India's constitution outlawed the caste system, but just as 1960s Civil Rights laws didn't eliminate racial prejudice in the U.S., discrimination against Dalits has continued. India has a form of affirmative action that has guaranteed a percentage of university admissions and government jobs to each caste, and there are Dalits who have earned PhDs, but they are still denied entry into many hotels and restaurants (the upper castes believe their presence would bring defilement).  For devout Hindus, the Dalits are born into their state due to karma from a previous life—to seek improvement is to only make things worse next time around. Some Dalits have protested against Hinduism entirely by formally and publicly converting to Christianity or, more recently, Buddhism. The caste issue is still challenging traditional Hindu beliefs, and change is slow. Cross-caste marriages are slowly being accepted among the educated, urban population, but in rural areas they can still result in so-called honor killings.  ...
