Tyranny and Ritual Humiliation | Will Tucker
A major feature of contemporary politics, media and culture is the humiliation ritual. Will Tucker and I explore Aristotle's writings on Tyranny and its means of preservation, including humiliation of the subjects.Mr Tucker presents his research on the occult metaphysics of ritual humiliation; Noahidism as 'decapitation through humiliation'; Nicholas de Cusa's concept of "learned ignorance" and the relations with kenotic theology, personalism and kabbalah. Will Tucker traces the humiliation ritual as a heterodox form of esoteric mystagogy to condition the intellect and will towards "divine nothingness."Mr Tucker's substack: https://analogia.substack.com/The Analogia Entis channel: https://www.youtube.com/@analogiaentisTo support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining either my Locals or Substack (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.comhttps://substack.com/@thetwocitiespodcast?

Traditionalist Economics | Primogeniture and Family Patrimony
Pope Leo XIII taught: "It is a most sacred law of nature that a father should provide food and all necessaries for those whom he has begotten... by the ownership of productive property, which he can transmit to his children by inheritance."In the first of a two-part episode on property and inheritance law, I draw from the writings of Côme de Prévigny, Frédéric le Play, Oscar Mendez and modern studies to examine the importance of primogeniture inheritance for the conservation and flourishing of family patrimony and its corollary: diffuse economic and political power.I compare the case studies of historic inheritance regimes in France, the United States of America and England to extract the perennial Catholic economic principles that we may apply today and in the future.

Philip II by William Thomas Walsh | 16/33 Freemasonry in the 16th century
'Philip II' is an historical work written by William Thomas Walsh, published by TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1987. All rights acknowledged.Back cover:"Philip II by William Thomas Walsh is one of the crucial books for Catholics today and for all who would understand how our world came to its present state. For this monumental life-story, Walsh's greatest book, is far more than the definitive biography of the man considered to have been Europe's most powerful king ever. It is besides a virtual panorama of Christendom in the 16th century, the pivotal century that gave birth to Protestantism - which out of the 15 major heresies that have confronted the Catholic Church, was the first which the Church did not overcome. Not only is Spanish history covered in this fast-paced biographical masterpiece, but also the interrelated events simultaneously developing in England, France and Europe in general, so that the reader comes away with a global view of an entire era and of the forces which the Catholics of that day were facing as the Protestant Revolt, with its seductive rebellion against all authority, both human and divine, was carried from country to country, purposefully destroying the Ancient Faith and the Christian social fabric."Modest donations are gratefully accepted to support my research costs, enable a higher frequency of broadcasts and improve production values: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5Y9AE7F4SHHA4To support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining my Locals (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com

About The Two Cities Podcast
"Two loves have built two cities: the love of self even to the despising of God, the city of the earth; the love of God even to the despising of self, the city of God." Following St. Augustine's City of God, this podcast views history and contemporary events in light of the deepest meaning of history: the ongoing war between the City of God (the Catholic Church) and the Earthly City until Christ comes again.
