Has art abandoned its role as a mirror to our highest ideals and a guide to virtue? Drawing on his recent work, The Way of Beauty and Imitation, Dr. Daniel McInerny argues that the decline in artistic quality and the erosion of moral frameworks in contemporary art reflect a deeper cultural malaise. Host Jan Bentz and Dr. McInerny explore the Aristotelian concept of mimesis, the moral responsibilities of artists, and the disheartening trend of subversion in modern storytelling. If you’ve ever questioned the purpose of art in our lives or felt disillusioned by the current state of the creative industries, this conversation will provide both insights and challenges.

Reality Check | Ep. 18 | The Great Betrayal: How Modern Art Abandons Truth and Virtue
In an age where modern art often prioritizes shock value over substance, how can we rediscover the timeless beauty that has inspired generations? In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Lev, a renowned art historian with a passion for the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods. Dr. Lev shares her insights on the enduring power of classical art to elevate the human spirit and connect us with the divine. We explore the tension between contemporary art’s focus on the provocative and the historical masterpieces that continue to captivate with their beauty and craftsmanship. Dr. Lev also discusses the role of faith in art and how religious themes can bridge the gap between the sacred and the secular in today’s cultural landscape. This conversation invites you to reconnect with the transformative power of beauty and its vital place in our lives.

The Traditional Latin Mass, a cornerstone of Catholic worship for centuries, is now at the center of a heated debate within the Church. In this episode, liturgical scholar Gregory DiPippo takes us deep into the intricacies of the Roman Catholic liturgy, examining the current state of the Latin Mass in light of recent Vatican policies. We discuss the significance of Traditionis Custodes, Pope Francis’s concerns about the Old Mass, and the broader cultural implications of liturgical reform. DiPippo provides a thoughtful analysis of the challenges faced by traditionalists and the future of the Latin Mass in an increasingly modernized Church.

In a world where scientific discovery often clashes with ancient religious beliefs, how can we reconcile the origins of life with the tenets of faith? In this episode, Gideon Lazar and Jan Bentz explore the contentious debate between 'young earth' and 'old earth' creationism. Lazar’s unique perspective, shaped by his journey from Judaism to Catholicism, provides a compelling framework for understanding how theology and science can coexist. They dive into the key ideas of creation theology, the implications of evolutionism, and the importance of maintaining a coherent narrative that aligns with both scripture and scientific evidence. This episode challenges listeners to consider the stakes involved in this debate and the broader implications for faith, science, and the understanding of human origins.

In this episode, Harrison hosts the dissident political scientist Curtis Yarvin in a feline-friendly south east London flat. One of the most wide-ranging conversations in the series yet, they address all manner of topics, from the treachery of our elites and the decline of mob power to the untold story of the American Revolution and the dramatic differences between traditional kingship and modernity's neo-monarchs. Is democratic populism up to the task of regime change? Or should we throw in our lot with a subtler, frame-breaking alternative? Produced by The European Conservative, The Forge is a monthly programme which aims to revive the art of Socratic dialogue and intellectual combat at a time when, across the legacy institutions of the Western world, vulgar sophistry and intolerant conformism appear to reign supreme. Presented by Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at The European Conservative, The Forge will be a place for thoroughgoing discussion and fearless debate with the world's finest thinkers on a range of subjects, from philosophy and current affairs to history and culture.

We talked to Balázs Orbán before the EUCO summit about Europe's sudden urge to fix the migration crisis and close its borders despite years of criticism against Hungary for doing the same.
"Member states need to take back control over their own migration policies."—Balázs Orbán
Despite the EU completing its flagship policy package, the Migration Pact last spring, the most burning issues of illegal migration were never solved and Europe is spiraling into an ever greater crisis. Deportation levels remain disastrously low, migrants keep dominating crime statistics, and those who want to change all this are threatened with massive fines or long years in prison. Our host, Zsófia Tóth-Bíró talked with MEPs Fernand Kartheiser (Alternative Democratic Reform Party, ECR), Charlie Weimers (Sweden Democrats, ECR) and Paolo Borchia (Lega, PfE) about the primary issues related to migration in the EU, as well as their causes and possible solutions. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Migration Is Back on the Agenda 02:45 The "Death" of the Schengen Area 03:55 VDL's New Migration Strategy 06:20 Offshore Reception & Deportation Centers 09:05 The "Deportation Pact" 10:45 It Is Not the '90s Anymore 11:45 Is Opt-Out the Solution? 13:05 Matteo Salvini's Persecution 14:55 NGOs & Human Smugglers 17:20 Why the Albania Protocol Works 🌐 FIND The EuroCon website: https://europeanconservative.com/ 👍 LIKE The EuroCon on Facebook: / theeurocon ✅ FOLLOW The EuroCon on Twitter: / euroconofficial 👉 FOLLOW The EuroCon on GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/eurocon

In this thought-provoking episode, Ravi Jain, a leading figure in the intersection of theology, education, and mathematics, explores the deep connections between mathematics, philosophy, and worldview. Prof. Jain discusses how the mathematical concepts of discreteness and continuity influence not only our understanding of the physical world but also our spiritual perspectives. Drawing on historical and philosophical insights, Jan Bentz and Prof. Jain delve into the metaphors of harmony and natural laws that shape how we “mathematicize” reality, touching on Galileo’s legacy and the development of calculus. Jain also previews his upcoming book, Enchanted Cosmos, which promises a revolutionary 7th- to 12th-grade mathematics curriculum grounded in a traditional, holistic approach to understanding the world. This episode offers fresh insights into how mathematics can bridge the gap between the seen and unseen, the finite and the infinite.

In an era where disenchantment seems to permeate every aspect of modern life, is there a way to revive the sense of wonder and connection to tradition that once defined our worldview? In this episode of Reality Check, we engage in a compelling conversation with Charles A. Coulombe, an esteemed historian and author known for his insights into monarchy, conservatism, and the supernatural. Coulombe argues that re-enchantment requires more than a superficial return to old ways—it demands a profound transformation that challenges our comfort zones and forces us to confront the truths that modernity has obscured. We explore the historical roots of disenchantment, the tension between Tory and Whig conservatism, and the role of cultural memory in rekindling a more meaningful existence. This discussion is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand how conservatism can offer a pathway to a more enchanted and authentic life in the 21st century.

Breaking with the established in-person format, they meet virtually to discuss the collapse of Western self-confidence in a multipolar world, how mass immigration erodes the meaning of citizenship, and the fateful last words of all dying civilisations: 'It cannot happen here.' Would a victory for Donald Trump in November amount to an awakening from our complacent slumber?

You thought the right-wing shift would finally give a fair representation to the millions of conservatives across Europe? Well, think again. The centre-left ignored the election results and decided it would be “business as usual” in Brussels not just by reappointing Ursula von der Leyen as President of the Commission and reaffirming their support for the disastrous policies of the Migration pact and the Green Deal but also by announcing a “cordon sanitaire” of non-cooperation and undemocratic exclusion around the insurgent right-wing parties, to ensure that EU politics is vaccinated against what they call the “virus” of populism.   MEP Hermann Tertsch represinting the Spanish Vox party and MEP Enikő Győri from Fidesz provide insights into the mainstream’s insidious backroom deals and how the silenced Patriots for Europe, the third largest group in the European Parliament is trying to rescue conservative votes.
