  • Swords and Serpents

    I watched this study three times. Took so many excellent notes. This was by far the most concise and interactive study I have ever done. I binged it several times, and am now able to tell the story of salvation history, thanks to Fr Hezikiahs great method for memorization.

  • I want my Bible with me at all times now!

    I’m taking my time to go seriously through the Swords and Serpents Bible study. Now I want my Bible with me any where I go. Thank you Father Hezekias for this amazing study. I love the idea of reading the Bible with the idea of seeing the Tapestry of the story of salvation. I am learning so much and I am so excited.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The High Hallow
Q: Tolkien had a hard time with Charles Williams. Is this a big difference, and is Williams's writing not liturgical?
The speaker notes differences in temperament and approach; Tolkien shares liturgical concerns but has reservations about Williams's esotericism, which the speaker argues makes Williams less compatible with Orthodox Christian faith, highlighting Tolkien's emphasis on liturgy and humility.
The Table of the Lord and the Table of Demons
Q: What is the origin of moral relativism and how does it impact Catholic teaching on truth?
Moral relativism is portrayed as a cultural belief that truth is a matter of opinion, contrasting with the Catholic view that truth is objective; the discussion stresses the need to uphold absolute truth while remaining humble and pastoral in presenting Catholic teaching.
The Table of the Lord and the Table of Demons
Q: Why do we rarely hear priests warn the laity about sacrilege in parishes, and are priests afraid to tell people they need to go to confession?
The speaker notes a spectrum of approaches among priests, with some reticent or cautious, while others are more outspoken; emphasizes that conscience and pastoral responsibility play a role and that canonical guidelines support ministers in guiding the faithful toward proper disposition without overstepping personal boundaries.
Aeterni Patris
Q: What is the modern relevance of Thomism for education and culture?
Discipleship to St. Thomas is ongoing; invest in authentic Catholic education steeped in Thomistic philosophy and theology, and encourage teachers who are faithful to Thomas to train the next generation.
Aeterni Patris
Q: What about the question of Latin translations and authentic texts—how should a reader ensure accuracy?
One should rely on critical Latin editions produced by the Leonine Commission, and seek translations that encompass the full body of St. Thomas's work rather than isolated texts, while recognizing translation nuances.
