    Magnificast classic: The Dialogue between the Popes and Cuba

    Hey folks, Dean is traveling for work this week and is going to see St. Francis' bones on display in Italy (this is not a joke), so this week we're reposting some classic Cuba content from 2022!  It's the last week of Advent! We made it. We're rounding out our series on Cuba with some extremely niche content about Papal visits and Cuba. This is some really in the weeds content, but it shows a real interesting interchange between the Cuban revolution and religion. There's a dialectic at play here that is worth paying attention to!  Here was the book we mentioned from Fidel on the podcast: https://archive.org/details/capitalismincris00cast/page/36/mode/2upYou can find all of JPII's addresses in Cuba here: https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/travels/1998/travels/documents/trav_cuba-1998.html Get our Cuba Zine 👉 bit.ly/cubazineSupport us on patreon 👉 www.patreon.com/themagnificast

    The World is Always Ending

    It's 2026 and if you're watching the news, you can see that the United States is doing an apocalypse speedrun.

We'll get to the liberation theology contetn on Revelation later, but for now we're easing our way in.  Here's Timothy Beal's The Book of Revelation: a Biography: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691145839/the-book-of-revelation Pre-order our bookhttps://themagnificast.wordpress.com/pre-order-now-enough-is-enough-degrowth-capitalism-and-liberation-theology/ Get our Winstanley Zinehttps://themagnificast.wordpress.com/zines/ Join our patreonhttp://patreon.com/themagnificast
