  • Michael J. Knowles, the American broadcaster, political commentator, actor and author, is the guest of Dr Gavin Ashenden for this 75th episode for Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald.
    They discuss the many “diverse and eccentric” identities of American conservatism in the twilight of the Biden presidency and Mr Knowles’ work for the Daily Wire, the popular US news website and media company, amid the shifting sands of the cultural revolutions of the last decade. They also talk about the vital role of the Catholic Church in upholding objective moral truth in the crisis of relativism gripping the West.

    As an Evangelical Law Professor from Portugal, I started reading and studying the Church Fathers as I worried about the corrosive effects of new-marxist and post-modernist acideologies and decided to become a Catholic. My wife and 21 year old boy decided to do the same.

    Yes we had the straw kicked out of by the Anglican Aristocracy.
    We were only able to build Catholic chapels were only build after 300 years of bigotry, which has not ended. Yes, we are second class citizens. The fight for our identity goes on . Yet, our faith/ ideology goes on, the light of Christ goes on as it did during our those years of persecution.

    if memory serves, the Tridentine Mass was an attempt to unify or standardize the Latin rite Mass which over the centuries had developed all kinds of variations all over the place. Not only the ambrosian rite which still exists, but various religious order rites, not to mention the many dioceses.

    I’ve been watching the YT channel “Reason and Theology “. Michael Loftan’s channel. He is working on a doctorate in magisterial and papal authority. Very balanced and hopeful. He used to be a Protestant, then a Radical Traditionalist Catholic, then a true obedient Catholic and not critical of our authoritative Church teachings or the Pope and brings a very balanced and intellectual approach to what people say the Pope says and what he actually says. His insight is invaluable and excellent.

    One of the best interviews I've heard in a long time. I'm a big fan of Michael Knowles, and it used to bother me that some of his best talks, like this interview or his lecture on Donte, get relatively so few views and interest, while his comparatively lowbrow political shows get so much, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I realize that to be a Catholic is like being well-read or thoughtful these days, it's puts you in a small group, and we shouldn't aim to be loved by the world. I hope Michael keeps doing serious interviews and talks like this.

      The councils of the Catholic Church determined which books belong in the Bible. That process wasn't completed until the 4th century A.D.
      And it's not the RCC. It's just the Catholic Church. There are over 20 other rites. "Roman" (actually "Latin" is the correct term) is just one of them but they are all in communion with each other and have the same teachings. Unlike Protestant or Orthodox.
