Please do another show with Dr DeClue on Evolution vs Creationism as described by Augustine & Bonaventure. I’ve been following the works on Gideon Lazar on this topic and would be interested in hearing more from Dr DeClue on this.

I remember enjoying Ratzinger's work when I was a new Catholic. Then I went down the rabbit hole of rad Tradism and sedevacantism and thought he was a heretic.
Only now, especially thanks to this video, am I seeing him as the greatest theologian of recent decades as well as sharing his love of Bonaventure's theology.
Fantastic discussion. God bless you.

Happy Easter! I just wanted to thank you both for this video. I study political science at the MA level at a secular university, and the one issue that nobody can seem to figure out is what to do after Descartes who separated the mind from the world. Most of my classmates have defaulted to Nietzsche's will to power, to project your will onto this meaningless universe. Others have taken a Humean approach, that we have to live a "common life" philosophy (to which Nietzsche would say -- what common life?). Our minds are separated from reality, but whatever it is that we perceive, we just have to make do with otherwise we'll fall into despair.

For the most part, I do not know many Christians in my program and we hardly read any Christian thinkers, so this has been a problem I have been wrestling with on my own. Kierkegaard's Christian existentialism was very appealing to my post-modern mind. But I know that fideism is condemned by the Church. I discovered Edith Stein's phenomenology, as she sought to synthesize phenomenology and Thomism. I haven't had the chance to dive more into the Christian side of her work as I only read the Problem of Empathy, but I thought that phenomenology was a way to integrate the mind back into the world as living bodies.

Now I know I have to read Ratzinger. We can't just pretend that modernism never happened, that Hume never attacked the classical arguments for the existence of God. God bless you both!

Just found this channel. Really great content. I found Dr. DeClue's position on Augustine's interpretation of Genesis 1 somewhat compelling. However, at the end of time when we get our bodies back, will a similar ages long process be involved? Or if we get them back in an instant, why would it have been unfitting for the bodies of Adam and Eve to have been specially created? Seems asymmetrical.

Looking forward to hearing another discussion with Dr. Wood on Maximus.
