Do you know what the Catholic Faith teaches? What is our purpose in life? Why can we never satisfy our intellect? How do we discern our direction? Is natural human virtue enough?

In this final episode of the series, Bishop Sanborn discusses two different ways of looking at our life on this earth: Father Fahey's concept of Organized Supernaturalism and Organized Naturalism, and Monsignor Delassus' perspective of the Clash of Civilizations. Both perspectives have their merits and neither is "right" in the sense of being the final answer, but both provide a good summation for this series from the perspective of our place in history at this moment.

In this episode Bishop Donald Sanborn discusses the Jewish Nation and religion, and its role at the beginning of Christendom, throughout the Middle Ages, post French Revolution, and present day. Christianity has roots in Judaism so the question of Jews and their role in salvation history can often get lost in an age which looks for hatred, insults, and antisemitism under every rock and crevice. This episode doesn't engage in the standard hatred very much on offer in various parts of the world towards those who were formerly God's chosen people, but rather looks at the facts, often using the words of prominent and leading Jews to frame and understand the discussion.

In this month’s episode of The Root of the Rot, Bishop Donald Sanborn analyzes numerous quotes of Paul VI in the light of Catholicism. As it turns out, in the pre-internet era, Paul VI made many shocking statements that were simply not caught and analyzed. In his words and deeds Paul VI led the "revolution in tiara and cope" and paved the way, and probably in many ways, inspired men like Jorge Bergoglio. Find out what Paul VI said and what true Popes of the Catholic Church have said in direct opposition to him.

This month on The Root of the Rot, host Stephen Heiner and guest Bishop Donald Sanborn discuss various programs to water down Catholicism, all in the 20th century and all before Vatican II. These programs all work within the new "religion" of Humanitarianism, which has as its two central doctrines the denial of a transcendent God and the affirmation of an immanent God. Humanitarianism seeks to achieve its goals by transforming existing religions so that they profess the same creed by setting aside doctrinal and dogmatic differences. The Universal Brotherhood of Humanity beckons. Learn more about how Catholicism turns its back on such nonsense.

The Root of the Rot returns to the air with fill-in guest, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn. This episode focuses on three aspects of the 1870-1920 period: the secularization of society, the final overthrow of the last vestiges of Catholic social order, and the beginnings of the new world order rising to replace the Catholic old order that had been destroyed.

The Root of the Rot returns to the airwaves this month as His Excellency, Bishop Daniel Dolan and host Stephen Heiner try to clarify where our modern problems originated. This episode focuses on the years between 1866 and 1905, years in which Italy was unified (by stealing the Papal States from the Holy Father, and ultimately, from all Catholics), Germany was unified (at a massive cultural cost to Catholics), and France underwent ongoing aftershocks of the effect of murdering their king and overthrowing God. The bishop delves deeper into how these issues influenced American immigrants at this time, who very much wanted to be "accepted" in their new, Protestant-majority country. If you want to continue your education on the bigger issues that inform the doctrinal problems that plague us now, listen to this episode!

After this, the discussion turns to the Old Testament prefiguring of this devotion in the story of Rebecca and Jacob.

To bring about the Restoration, we must simultaneously reject the modern culture. Yet, can we Catholics resist the trappings and enticements of these seemingly-inescapable worldly-influences, such as the continually expanding list of secular “holi-days” and other substitutes for religious services and customs, if we haven’t already a strong and integrated Catholic life, rich with meaningful practices? How about our children who are growing up with these counterfeit, “religion of Man” customs already well established and all around them? Nature abhors a vacuum, so we must ensure that we fill our lives, and those of our children, with the beautiful and sanctifying customs that God has intended for His children to cherish, and through which we thrive. Otherwise, we will seek to fill that void with these manifold Satanic imitations. Let our Australian guest, Camille, enlighten your start to the Liturgical Year with her presentation of many traditional Advent customs. Then spice up your Christmas with an abundanc
