C.S. Lewis as Prophet and Patriot (TIC)
In the middle of England’s noble efforts against the Nazis in the first half of the 1940s, C.S. “Jack” Lewis bravely delivered a series of intellectual and spiritual public and radio addresses, and he wrote a number of essays, all dealing with the themes of war, civility, order, purpose, and ethics. Indeed, he gave several such series (orally and in written form), each asking the British to possess fortitude in their struggle against the German National Socialist threat, but, equally important, to understand why the war mattered so deeply at the level of Western civilization and humanity. Physical lives mattered, Lewis knew, but eternal souls mattered more. If the English should somehow mimic their enemy in the Second World War, all the sacrifices in the world would mean something far worse than nothing. They would amount to aiding evil itself, an evil that would now be associated with the British as well as with the National Socialists.

My EWTN Interview on The American Founding
I had a wonderful time talk with Peggy Normandin. She’s an excellent interviewer. Here’s her writeup:
Independence Day presents an excellent opportunity to reflect on the blessings of our American heritage. In the Call Me Catholic Countdown, Peggy presents her top five interesting facts about Catholic American history. Author Bradley J. Birzer discusses the legacy of the patriot Charles Carroll, the subject of his biography “American Cicero.” The only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, Carroll had great influence over the early legislation of religious tolerance and freedom in our country. Award winning author and illustrator, Demi, talks about her charming new children’s book “George Washington: His Legacy of Faith, Character and Courage.” In Chatting with Catholics, Peggy takes her microphone to a local summer bible camp and asks the young campers who their favorite superhero is.
