How have I never come across this man before? He's incredibly knowledgeable. And here in Australia, too! Fascinating hearing him riff on Macintyre, Schindler, liberalism etc.
Please give ferment last theorem
Go Gary!
Catholic Church welcomes all children
Two things... 1- enrolling them in a school is a big mistake. God may have called you to speak and be a missionary but he gave you a higher priority with your kids. They are not to called to that at young ages. You are called to love them and raise them. They will be far better served in their faith and in their life if raised at home with their parents. 2- Raising children in the rural life is wonderful. We don't all get that choice. It becomes more about what you instill in them than where.
thats quite a library
I thought he was kicked out
The farm is he ok
The main thing was to unite the American continent for Marxist Communism. Engels was hired by Lincoln to end the CivilWar so it could be controlled by Communism.
I've just become aware of this aspect of American history.
I think people are Gods creation as well
Thank you for this discussion 🙏
Man! Where was this guy when I was in school. He’s saying what I feel. I am southern, conservative, and Catholic. And I never feel comfortable in the North. I am happy and content in the South.
Is he promoting Catholicism? That won't save us. We need true Christianity.
Some would argue that Catholicism is true Christianity :)
@@ThomasMoreCentre I would disagree. Praying to Saints, worshiping Mary, teaching of purgatory, and much idolatry.
We want a reader's Bible of Alter's translation. I've been studying his translation for the past two years now and would love a mostly text version available.

Interesting, the Gospel went forth in the cities. Antioch, Jerusalem, and so forth. A person living the country was called a pagan. This word come from the Latin word “Pagus”. Literally means a country dweller. Why do people think you have to live in the rural areas to be a Christian? If the apostles lived in the cities, so can today’s Christians.
That’s where southern people feel most comfortable and closest to God is in the country
Cracking interview
Interestingly he moved to the only southern state which has never been conquered. As a born and raised kentuckian who's family has been in Kentucky since before the civil war, I have two things to say: 1) culturally speaking Kentucky doesn't fit neatly with the rest of the south. Bordering the South, Midwest, East Coast, and being part of Appalachia, as well as not being a part of the Confederacy means that Kentucky is more rural than it is southern. In fact, early on in its history many of the people that populated kentucky actually came from northern states (particularly Pennsylvania). 2) having a uniquely individual culture does mean that Kentuckians live by an ethos, but that ethos is not in lock step with the south. We just overwhelmingly re-elected a democratic governor this past November. Kentucky has only had 3 Republican governors in its entire post World War II history. Kentucky's government collaborates far more with the government of Ohio and Indiana than with Tennessee or West Virginia. To be fair to Dr. Harrelson, southeastern Kentucky is the part of the state most like the rest of the South so he and his family hopefully feel right at home there. Im just pointing out that Kentucky living and Kentucky sensibilities will not be a perfect representation of southern living.
I would say that could easily apply to Virginia as well. Northern Virginia is especially occupied but the rest of Virginia is very different. It's like someone took the suburbs of New Jersey and slapped them on the back of South Carolina. That's how culturally split Virginia is.
Thank you to the algorithm for bringing this to me.
Regarding the 53 minute mark, I too love the TLM but am turned off by the sort of insider outsider mentality some Latin mass goers impose on parishes. It's not so bad where I live,but I would avoid a community as hinted at here. We should normalize the old rite not make it inaccessible and uninviting.
The sound quality is terrible!! Is it possible to enhance it?
We tried, but unfortunately not. Have you turned on the subtitles to help follow along?
God bless our lovely south, and keep us pure of heart.
God bless the south, and all southern traditions
This such a fascinating engagement with a very gifted but elusive figure... great conversation!
Dr. Alan, are you aware of a book by Dr.James Kilgo called ‘Deep enough for Ivorybills’? He was my favorite English department professor at UGA in the late 60’s. Walker Percy said of him; “He’s pretty good!” If you don’t know of him, I think you will enjoy his southern writings.
Spoiler alert you only need to listen to the last three minutes.
The south is full of ignorance, which fosters bigotry, jingoism and white nationalism.
Historically speaking, weren't the leaders in the north the nationalists?
ok bless your heart
Did I hear him briefly mention that pre colonial America was predominantly orthodox christian? Did he mean the proper "Eastern Orthodox"? or was orthodox a general term for essentially Catholicism?
I believe he was referring to little 'o' orthodoxy, in the sense that the Christians in the South were more theologically conservative than in the North
What is the name of the book that Gary Furnell referenced as his inspiration?
It's always great to hear Gary... thanks again Mark!
So fascinating.... and nuanced... thanks
Loved this interview. It was nice to hear Alan's deep thoughts on these topics. God bless you both.
Same to you!
Thank you for sharing your conversation with us. I have quickly come to appreciate Dr. Harrelson's thoughtful articulation of views I share. I grew up in the rural Midwest and have ancestors that fought for the North. After almost three decades in the military, I no longer recognized the country of my youth. I rediscovered it in the South. My wife (who was born and raised in India) and I feel at home here. The local history embraces us like an old quilt, providing comfort and warmth, despite the stains and patchwork imperfections.
Thought provoking interview. Thank you for posting it.
It was our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
I lived in “the concrete jungle”, Las Vegas, for 17 years and had enough. Moved to a town of 2,500 people in the PNW. So much happier.
And as Dr. Harrelson stated about Kentucky having only two small areas being blue and the rest of the state being red, the same is true for Oregon. Where I reside, open carry pistols are everywhere; saw a gentleman walking down the street with an AR over his shoulder. Lots of hunting and fishing in these parts, good folks. Unlike in Portland.
@@philiproseel3506Too bad such a red state doesn’t relax its tobacco regulations.
@@ArmenChakmakian And here it is, straight from the court ruling: “Tobacco companies have created racial and ethnic health disparities due to targeted marketing of menthol tobacco products to our Black, African-American, and LGBTQ+ community members, which has caused greater addiction in those communities.” Anything coming out of Portland will contain a heavy dose of woke, snowflake ideology. I wish they would to go after marijuana and hard drugs as hard as pipe tobacco, but pipe tobacco doesn’t make them millions in tax revenue.
@@philiproseel3506 It's the same in most states. Kansas is as rural as you can get, except for Wichita, Kansas CIty (Lawrence is close to here as well), and Topeka. Worst thing is, it was all the farmers and ranchers, that sent their kids to college, and encouraged them to go to the cities. Now we struggle with population decline. Our town has 250 people.
Very interesting topics. Many comments that resonate with my personal experience and observations. -@IncompetentPiper
Alan, we are thankful for 'this season' of our life to share in your life for 'a season'. Enlightening conversation, thank you. Amen on thanking God for each day to relish in His goodness around us!!
Nice intro😂
👍
Fabulous scoop!
This is a helpful guide to my pre-Holy Week search for meaning, as a cradle Catholic. Thanks for introducing me to Dorothy Day and similar saints of our faith. You made Trad Rad a good blend of Catholicism in this tumultuous times.
This was gangsta guys. Love it.
Thanks Mark and Larry! My type of Catholicism
Thanks Clara!

Thanks Monica, your kind comment is much appreciated!

So excited to see Bug again. I wondered how he was doing.
Too bad he got captured by the Catholics yikes the pope sits in a snake liar. Extremely demonic the pope just put on a satanic show with all the dancing men in women face
Thank you for a wonderful few hours of fellowship and friendship. May God bless and reward yall's efforts.
And thank you, Bug, for being so generous with your time. It was a pleasure speaking with you.
