CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

Happy New Year! We open this new year of Our Lord 2026 with a bang: in this episode, we cover how Messiah defeated the demons, overturned the millennia-long reign of false gods, and converted an empire, as recounted by the great 4th century Church Father, St. Athanasius, in his classic work, "On the Incarnation of the Word."

Magic and sorcery failed; the oracles went silent; ancient lairs of paganism like Egypt and Babylon turned to Christ; the sign of the cross scattered demons; and the nations left behind their differing worship of many false gods for the one worship of the true God in His Catholic Church.

Let us remember this great and epic history in our day!
