Philip II by William Thomas Walsh | 16/33 Freemasonry in the 16th century
'Philip II' is an historical work written by William Thomas Walsh, published by TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1987. All rights acknowledged.Back cover:"Philip II by William Thomas Walsh is one of the crucial books for Catholics today and for all who would understand how our world came to its present state. For this monumental life-story, Walsh's greatest book, is far more than the definitive biography of the man considered to have been Europe's most powerful king ever. It is besides a virtual panorama of Christendom in the 16th century, the pivotal century that gave birth to Protestantism - which out of the 15 major heresies that have confronted the Catholic Church, was the first which the Church did not overcome. Not only is Spanish history covered in this fast-paced biographical masterpiece, but also the interrelated events simultaneously developing in England, France and Europe in general, so that the reader comes away with a global view of an entire era and of the forces which the Catholics of that day were facing as the Protestant Revolt, with its seductive rebellion against all authority, both human and divine, was carried from country to country, purposefully destroying the Ancient Faith and the Christian social fabric."Modest donations are gratefully accepted to support my research costs, enable a higher frequency of broadcasts and improve production values: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5Y9AE7F4SHHA4To support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining my Locals (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com

Traditionalist Economics: Sovereign Creation of the Money Supply
In the first of a projected irregular series on Traditionalist Economics, I draw from the writings of John Lane, Pius XI and other Catholic economic thinkers to consider the first question of political economy: who is responsible for the money supply?I consider: the fundamental causes of inflation; the sovereignty of money creation; fractional reserve banking; the gold standard; the nature of our current usury money versus Medieval economic stability and leisure, before proposing some initial Catholic solutions to these essential problems.With particular thanks to John Lane for his insights.To support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining my Locals (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com

I am interested in having conversations and sharing ideas with anybody who is planning, or involved in, relevant constructive projects.https://onepeterfive.com/the-little-way-of-christendom-part-1/https://onepeterfive.com/the-little-way-of-christendom-part-2/To support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining my Locals (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com
"Two loves have built two cities: the love of self even to the despising of God, the city of the earth; the love of God even to the despising of self, the city of God." Following St. Augustine's City of God, this podcast views history and contemporary events in light of the deepest meaning of history: the ongoing war between the City of God (the Catholic Church) and the Earthly City until Christ comes again.
