https://westminster-institute.org/events/was-americas-founding-fatally-flawed-by-the-provenance-of-its-ideas/ In early December, Westminster director Robert Reilly gave a talk to the Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture at Thomas More College in New Hampshire. Troubled by the ample evidence of a moral decline in the United States, some Christian and other thinkers trace the problem to what they see as a fatal flaw in the American Founding: a reliance on the philosophical principles of the Enlightenment – to wit, the assertion of radical individual autonomy. Reilly, the author of America on Trial, disagrees. He argues that the genealogy of the ideas that made the founding conceivable is grounded in classical Greek philosophy, Jewish revelation, and Christianity. The founders' principles come from pre-Enlightenment sources. They are compatible with—and indeed derived from—the tradition of respect for Reason and Revelation, Church and State, developed and refined by philosophers of the Middle Ages. After a period of state absolutism, the founders restored these principles. Reilly shows on what basis political scientist Ellis Sandoz could claim that “the whole of medieval Christian constitutional and political theory . . . lay squarely behind the American determination [to achieve independence].” The Westminster Institute is grateful to the Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture for the use of this video.
Happy New year. we start this year off bigger and bolder than ever! I speak with Robert R Reilly author of America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding published by Ignatius Press. Mr. Reilly traces the intellectual history of the founding of the United States Constitution. The ideas of consent by the governed, no taxation without representation, voting rights and even revolution against tyranny are a natural application of rational and organized thought. When society deviates from rationality the will of the ego and power dominate and personal liberty is destroyed. Now, more than ever, it is important to understand what the Founding Fathers were trying to achieve in order to preserve the Union and our freedom. Robert Reilly is unafraid to tackle the big issues facing American society today. In this in-depth conversation about the historic roots of the US constitution an appreciation for the true depth and magnificence of this document is rediscovered.

When Ralph Vaughan Williams was rummaging through old hymnals, he discovered a tune by a composer of England's past Thomas Tallis. This simple tune would inspire Vaughan Williams to write a work for string quartet and double string orchestra, Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. In creating this piece he melded two worlds together, the modern with the old, clearing the dust from a long forgotten tune and bringing it to new heights.

This month, Robert Reilly, author of America on Trial, defends the Founding Fathers against contemporary critics who say that their experiment in republic government was based on Enlightenment thinking— and thus on a rejection of Christianity. On the contrary, Reilly maintains, the Founding was based on philosophical principles that harken back to ancient Greece and Jerusalem: principles that were further developed by Catholic thinkers in the Middle Ages.Robert R. Reilly is Director of the Westminster Institute. He has been on the board since its founding. In his 25 years of government service, he has taught at National Defense University (2007), and served in the Office of The Secretary of Defense, where he was Senior Advisor for Information Strategy (2002-2006). He participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 as Senior Advisor to the Iraqi Ministry of information. Before that, he was director of the Voice of America, where he had worked the prior decade. Mr. Reilly served in the White House as a Special Assistant to the President (1983-1985), and in the U.S. Information Agency both in D.C. and abroad. In the private sector, he spent more than seven years with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, as both national director and then president.

As our kids head back to school, there are massive protests and riots in America’s largest cities, increased anti-American sentiment, and the cancelling of some of the most important people from Western history. Amidst all this chaos comes the question: why is this happening? Why do these people in the streets hate America so much? The answer is they were taught to hate it. On this special “back to school” episode we are joined by Katie Gorka, who gives a crash course on American public education and where it all went wrong.

Let’s just say historian and social critic Robert R. Reilly, author of America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding, does not hold to the former. Here he delves deeply into the Founder’s official documents, the worldview they held, and the ideas they drew upon to frame the turbulent beginnings of the country. Read the rest on our website: here
