The man who codified the Arthurian Legend and brought the Round Table to vivid life was also a common criminal who spent a great deal of his life in and out of prison. Thomas Malory sought the Grail at a time when chivalry was dead. Can he help us find the Grail amidst our Waste Land?

Europa's Children with Kenaz Filan

Notes 20 Thomas Malory and the Age of Chivalry

Despite tribulations, famines and wars the tales of King Arthur have survived and remain a potent portrait of the European oversoul. This episode examines the deep foundations upon which Camelot was built and points the way towards our own quest for the Grail.

Notes 19 The Grail and the Baptized Gods

Once there was a place called Camelot. Once there was a place called America. Both those places belong to the past now. Yet in Camelot's foundation there still can be found the seeds of renewal. In those stones there lies a sword which will save us and a grail which will renew our poisoned land.

Notes From the End of Time 18 In the Shadow of the King

The term "Cultural Marxism" is often bandied about as the Right's version of "Fascism" -- a slur that means little save "I don't like it." This episode compares and contrasts three of the largest influences on our current culture war -- Antonio Gramsci, Karl Popper and the Frankfurt School.

Notes 17 Gramsci, Popper and the Frankfurt School

In 1917 Tsar Nicholas II abdicated: a few months later the Romanovs were dead and Russia's Christians faced a campaign of persecution that would last for over seven decades and claim millions of lives. Today the Church is more powerful within the former Iron Curtain than it has been in centuries. Why did the Communists launch a war against God -- and why did they lose?

Notes 16 The Russian Revolution

After dethroning their King, the French revolutionaries set their sights on God. Hundreds of clergy and thousands of innocent believers perished during a "dechristianization" program intended to create a secular France. That program remains in progress today. What can we learn from how it triumphed in France -- and how France defeated it?

Notes 15 The French Revolution or France vs God

My Friday 10/16 show for the unexpectedly deplatformed Free Atlantic Radio. This one covers the Chabad movement and its many friends in very high places.

What is Chabad?

It's a crazy story: a man was born of a Virgin and rose from the dead. Yet that crazy story has been told and retold for over 2,000 years. And is the absurdity of Christ greater than the absurdity of our world and our human condition?

Notes 14 The Absurdity of Christ

Across times and cultures we find the idea of an afterlife where the just are rewarded after hard trials. Today we mock those ideas as "pie in the sky." But do those stories passed down through centuries point to a shared delusion -- or to a reality more glorious than we can imagine?

Notes 13 Kenaz Filan Goes to Heaven

Hellfire. Damnation. Eternal separation from God. These are scary topics which are today generally treated as fairy tales good only for frightening children and credulous rubes. But what if there is a great and terrible Truth behind those unsettling legends?

Notes From The End Of Time 12: Kenaz Filan Goes to Hell

According to most secular Americans religious morality is anti-sex, anti-pleasure and anti-fun. C.S. Lewis's views were considerably more nuanced. Our modern culture has built its towers on sand and now they are crumbling. Can we rebuild something better on the bedrock Lewis has laid bare for us?

Episode 11: C.S. Lewis and Christian Morality

There are many Christian denominations; they have serious differences on important points of doctrine and are in some cases openly hostile to each other. But what common ground do they share? In his 1952 book *Mere Christianity* C.S. Lewis sought to discover a "mere Christianity" which was the true heart of the Faith. Can his wisdom inspire us to put aside our differences and work together to protect the Good and conquer Evil?

Episode 10: Mere Christianity 1

Every day the edifice of the American Empire crumbles a little more. Soon the Tower will fall. Can a document written by Pope John XXIII in 1963 help us build something better out of the wreckage?

Episode 9: Pacem in Terris

In a world where “rebel” and “heretic” are terms of endearment, what use can there be in stale old dogmas and outworn creeds? G.K. Chesterson’s *Orthodoxy* offered a defense of Christianity’s continuing relevance amidst the science, progress and prosperity of Victorian England. Can the timeless truths he offered then help us find a way to clean up the 21st century’s post-Christian mess?

Episode 8: G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy

Welcome to the seventh episode of Notes From The End of Time: The Quotients of Intelligence Today children around the world are ranked and measured by standardized intelligence tests: their data is weighed, sifted and measured by innumerable algorithms and parceled out into neat charts and reports. Yet over and over the computers keep repeating blasphemy: some groups score lower than others? How do we address this problem? How do we solve this problem? And what preconceptions and misconceptions lead us to conclude this is a problem?
