A deep dive with Chris Smaje on the definition of "ecomodernism", the limits of socialist theory and rhetoric, modes of property ownership, how the "Small Farm Future" aligns with distributism, to what degree we need an "ideology" or "doctrine", re-discovering ecological spirituality, civic republicanism, virtue ethics, peasant revolutions, and the best avenues and organization for practical action (including Extinction Rebellion).

Sean interviews Fr. Thomas and Dr. Fimister, the authors of "Integralism", which attempts to offer a thoroughly scholastic/Thomistic perspective on political philosophy, especially inspired by the social encyclicals of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI.

They discuss the kingship, priesthood, and patriarchy of our first father Adam and how this changed after the Fall; the religious orientation of the natural law; taxation; the social contract and the State; distinctions on employment, servitude, and slavery; usury; centralization, scale, and distributism; and unjust governments.

Developed from the outline discussed by Sean in Episode #42, the "Manifesto of the New Traditionalism" is co-written by him, Dr. Larry Chapp, and Marc Barnes. In it, the gladtrad gang "affirms not only the validity of the Second Vatican Council, but the primacy of these dogmatic and pastoral constitutions, in our present era, to instruct the people of God," drawing out four theses (listed below) from the documents of the Council.

Outro: "Kyrie" (from the Mass of the Americas)________________ The Four Theses of the Manifesto of the New Traditionalism:

I. THE CHURCH IS NOT PRIMARILY A DEFENSIVE CASTLE BUT, ABOVE ALL, A MISSIONARY PEOPLE UNITED IN LOVE.

II. THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY OF SAINT THOMAS IS A FOUNDATION FOR THE VALUABLE “NEW THEOLOGIES”

III. THE NATURAL LAW AND THE PREFERENTIAL OPTION FOR THE POOR HAVE BEEN UNITED IN CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING

IV. THE NECESSARY LITURGICAL RENEWAL WAS BEGUN, BETRAYED, AND LEFT UNACCOMPLISHED.

Sean interviews Julie Brown, a long-time friend and fellow activist of Jessica Reznicek, having lived and served together at the Des Moines Catholic Worker.

Jess is well known for her many non-violent direct actions against the Dakota Access Pipeline which culminated in her sabotaging the pipeline's creation by unwelding pipes with oxy-acetylene torches and burning industrial construction equipment.

She has been labeled a "domestic terrorist" by the U.S. federal government and has recently begun serving an 8-year prison sentence.
