Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing com... more

    After 4 years as a subscriber I just watched these guys on video for the first time. Anthony is right - the lighting sucks. But I’m afraid it won’t help.

    Five stars.

  • Protestant Review

    I discovered AB on X as I was researching Catholicism. Anthony insulted my intelligence more than I can count. Then I decided to checkout the podcast and I was appalled by the awful topics they covered. They discussed fatherhood, marriage, honoring God, fearing God, walking in integrity, and awful stuff like that.

    They interviewed Fr Ripperger and it completely wrecked my brain as I started binging on his YouTube content. They also introduced me to Eternal Christendom, which has high octane th... more

  • Avoiding the Council

    Do NOT listen to this podcast!!! Anthony and Rob present schismatic and radical ideas like the superiority of the EXTRAordinary form and defense of the SSPX! I’m not sure if they knew that the Church fixed all that boring mumbo jumbo nonsense in the 1960s. I recommend the Lila Rose Show as a safe alternative!

  • Extra special

    When I was an altar boy in the ‘80s I loved when the priest would walk up and down the aisle shaking hands during the kiss of peace. And always felt extra special when he shook my hand. Avoiding Babylon is that kind of extra special.

Constantinople Fell in 1453, But These Men Refused to Bow
Q: How did the defenders respond to the siege in terms of tactics and leadership?
Giustiniani led the defense with mercenaries, implementing layered fortifications and counter-measures like lowering cushions to absorb cannon fire, while Constantine XI refused to abandon the city and attempted to rally his troops until the end.
Constantinople Fell in 1453, But These Men Refused to Bow
Q: What initially drew the Ottoman forces to attack Constantinople in 1453?
A combination of strategic ambition by Mehmed II, the weakened state of the city after long external pressures, and the lack of unified European support, which left Constantinople vulnerable to both land and sea assaults.
Staying Faithful Under a Faithless Hierarchy w/ Nick Cavazos
Q: What do you want to see happen within the Church?
We need to man up right now. It is not going to be easy going forward. And if we don't get it together, first of all, I want people to see the beauty of the traditional Catholic faith.

Q: Do you have any advice for young men discerning the priesthood?
