Our guest David Inczauskis, SJ, host of the Liberation Theology Podcast, offers an introduction to the key concepts, founders, martyrs, and history of liberation theology. We also discuss the relationship of TOL (theology of liberation) to the Second Vatican Council, the CELAM Councils, the Sacred Scriptures, the Magisterium, and traditional orthodox Christianity.

(Join us this week in prayer and fasting for the Fall Embertide! tradistae.com/fall-embertide) 

Peter Mommsen, editor of Plough magazine and a member of the Bruderhof speaks on behalf of the total pacificism of the Christian Anabaptist tradition. Malcolm, a Catholic and host of Happy Are You Poor, looks for guidance in the orientation and life of Saint Benedict.

Our host, Sean, navigating between integralist, liberation theology, and Catholic Worker traditions brings on these two guests to ponder questions like: "Can there be a Chrisitan state? What kind of politics should a Christian work towards? Does the Sermon on the Mount forbid killing as a soldier or policeman? What did the early Church teach and live on these matters?"

"Pick the Right Politics", Peter Mommsen's editorial for the Plough issue on non-violence. 

"Rescuing St. Benedict from Culture Warriors", by Malcolm Schluenderfritz

Sean interviews Professor Matthew A. Shadle on his writings, the Baudrillardian media-generated confusion about Catholic Social Teaching, the prophetic power of the God of Surprises, the history of Christian Democracy, the Church's dialogue with Marxism, and the underlooked aspects of Church teaching on warfare and immigration.
