This is an English recording of a Letter written to FDR in September 1941. 

Georges Bernanos, a Catholic French Novelist, (1888-1948)  was not only able to articulate unseen spiritual evil through his religious writings usually revolving around priests, but he also had profound insight into politics especially the relationship of the individual to the state. His writings are all the more important during a time of trial and tribulation for much of the world's governments against totalitarianism and failing democracies. 

He challenges all complacent thought as a voice of an average citizen and himself being  a non-conformer par excellence. 

In this letter addressed to FDR, but probably never got him, Bernanos raises his concerns about democracy, the place of the church in solving the problems in the tumultuous world of the 1940s WWII, and so much more. Bernanos Plea for Liberty has never been more relevant today as we experiment, debate, and question our institutions and elites, but never give up on the people. This will be either a 3 or 4 part series to cover the entire section as an audio recording. I hope its as elucidating to you as it was to me.
