Can you know that God exists just by thinking about what the word "God" means? Anselm suggests that--with the help of God's grace--perhaps you can. Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett discuss what the "ontological argument" of the Proslogion says (and doesn't say) and how to respond to the objections to the argument raised by Gaunilo and Thomas Aquinas.

Jesusโs mission of descent and ascent, mirrored by the Royal Officialโs descent from Cana to Capernaum, are considered by Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett in this two-part discussion along with its implications for St. Johnโs view of humanity, the Trinity, faith, obedience, worldly status, communion, mission and the household of faith, the Church

In small ways we have lost the integral parts of the fine arts in our modern culture. And in our neglect, the fine arts have drifted to the backs of our collective consciousness to the role of a simple pass/fail elective. How do we take it back? It takes a unified curriculum, a passionate teacher, and a creative approach to reinstate the fine arts in the hearts and...2024-04-2444 minEx Umbris51 Pursuit of St. AnselmAnselm is famous for (among other things) his ontological argument for God's existence in his book, the Proslogion, but what often gets missed is that the Proslogion isn't about Anselm coming up with a great argument: it's about God revealing who He is to Anselm. In this episode, Schoolman Fawcett makes his case to Scholarch McLarney that the Proslogion is a kind of psalm in which a poor sinner realizes he can't get to God by his own efforts and cries out to God to show Himself, and God answers by enlightening him.

In response to an extremely genuine and earnest student request, Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett look at the "grammar of bread" through the lens of anthropology, history, theology, and Scripture.

It seems fitting for a podcast on classical Catholic education to have a Latin name, but what exactly does "exย umbris" actually mean? Not just, "How would you say it in English?", but, "Once you've translated it, what is it telling us?" In this episode, Schoolman Fawcett, Latin teacher at Chesterton Academy of St. Isidore, gives Scholarch McLarney a rundown on the Latin grammar of the phrase "exย umbrisย et imaginibus in veritatem" before discussing how it can refer to education, salvation, artistic beauty, and (fittingly, since it's on John Henry Newman's tombstone), the General Resurrection.
