What if the major crimes of the 20th century could be traced back to one simple cause: "Men have forgotten God"? Join us as we explore Alexander Solzhenitsyn's powerful words upon accepting the Templeton Prize in 1983, reflecting on the Russian Revolution and the horrors that ensued when human consciousness was deprived of its divine dimension. Despite the Soviet's attempts to erase religion, millions of believers persevered - a testament to the resilience and power of faith.

Key Points from the Episode:

  • We  discuss the insights of Princeton law professor Robert George, who attended Solzhenitsyn's 1978 Harvard commencement address. 
  • Together, we challenge ourselves to rise above our own worst selves and the vices of materialism, consumerism, self-indulgence, and narcissism by seeking what is good because it is good and what is right because it is right. 
  • Stay tuned for our upcoming episodes as we delve deeper into the philosophies of Augustine and Aquinas, opening our minds to truth, goodness, and righteousness.
