Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
This is Jesus' invitation to discipleship in Matthew 11:28-30.
Father Patrick M. Crino, Pastor
Guest Tom Holland, co-host of the Rest is History podcast, and author of many books, including Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind speaks with host Louise Perry about the new book that Tom is working on, focused on the ideological revolution of the 1960s, which he compares to a second Reformation.
He argues that the current culture wars are in fact theological wars between two different Christian factions, and that the newer faction is gaining in dominance. In the extended part of the episode, they speak about what true de-christianisation looks like, and why it is such a frightening prospect to anyone raised within the Christian moral framework.

The Acton Institute is a think-tank whose mission is to promote a free and virtuous society characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles. This direction recognizes the benefits of a limited government, but also the beneficent consequences of a free market. It embraces an objective framework of moral values, but also recognizes and appreciates the subjective nature of economic value. It views justice as a duty of all to give the one his due but, more importantly, as an individual obligation to serve the common good and not just his own needs and wants.
