Ep. #31 - The Church Built Western Civ. with Dr. Woods

Dr. Tom Woods asserts that the Catholic Church built Western civilization. In this interview, he explains why the Church isn't opposed to reason and progress. With unmatched wit and style, he points out the unique mindset of Christian charity. Drawing upon the work of Fr. Stanley Jaki, he shows how science was born of Christianity. Additionally, he argues that Catholic theologians paved the way for international law and universally recognized rights when the Spanish explored the new world. Finally, Dr. Woods provides some advice for those of us looking into starting our own blog or podcast. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/contact
