Eternal Christendom Podcast

Joshua Charles

In the midst of our civilizational crisis, Eternal Christendom exists to cultivate a new generation of Saints, Sages, and Statesmen through the Great Tradition. Whether you're a lifelong Catholic looking for a deeper understanding of your faith, or a non-Catholic curious about the Catholic Church, Eternal Christendom aims to make the case for the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Catholic Faith. For non-Catholics, we challenge to invite. For Catholics, we teach to unite.

    Pray the Rosary for Tulsi Gabbard's Husband, Abraham Williams! | Great Rosary Campaign

    The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders. For this Great Rosary Campaign, let us pray for the husband of Tulsi Gabbard, the former Director of National Intelligence (DNI). His name is Abraham Williams, and he was recently diagnosed with cancer. Let us pray for his physical healing, as well as his conversion to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Faith. The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: ➡️ www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com. Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular: Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles. First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10). Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44). Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2). Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for. Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance. Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

    Patriot and Prophet: Critiques of the Founding on its 250th Anniversary (Charles Coulombe) | Ep. 80

    In light of this week's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we interview Catholic scholar and historian Charles Coulombe. While he is a proud American patriot, he also argues that many elements of the American Founding were incompatible with Catholic teaching (including the justification for the Revolution itself). We consider some of these issues on this auspicious anniversary. As much as we got into in this interview, there are many more issues yet to explore on this topic. Stay tuned for future interviews.
