They analyze the meanings of the names and their sequence to uncover a hidden narrative of faith and decline. The speakers discuss how the choices of individuals in Seth's lineage contrast with those of Cain's, highlighting the importance of choosing to follow God. Ultimately, they suggest Genesis 5 teaches that the most important legacy is passing on faith in Jesus Christ, not worldly achievements. They emphasize the power of choice and the potential for hope even in dark times.2025-02-1540 minEx UmbrisEx Umbris64 To Save the Phenomena: Classical Education and the History of ScienceThe classical model of education required students to read Ptolemy's work on astronomy. Does Ptolemy have anything to teach us in a post-Copernican world? Schoolman Fawcett says "yes!" In this episode, he will discuss Ptolemy's understanding of physical science with Scholarch McLarney and how this perspective--which recognizes our limited knowledge and the importance of mathematical models--remains valid, and how it helped various thinkers in history (from Aquinas to Bellarmine to Milton) understand the relationship between faith and science, and between our minds and reality.

The discussion explores how classical Catholic education approaches literary analysis, emphasizing the inherent meaning in creation reflecting God's logos. Let's connect the song's imagery of building a kite—a stick representing the cross, a rag symbolizing resurrection, and a string signifying connection—to Christian theology and spirituality. We see the song as an example of "thin places," moments where the veil between heaven and earth is thin, revealing a deeper meaning in ordinary experiences. Finally, we...2025-02-0254 minEx UmbrisEx Umbris62 The Grammar of Reality: Realism, Nominalism and ExegesisIn this podcast episode, Dr. Gerard McLarney and Dr. Brett Fawcett discuss a classical approach to interpreting the world, including scripture, art, and nature. They emphasize exegesis, drawing meaning out of a text, rather than isogesis, reading meaning into it. They explore the concept of the Logos, the divine word and underlying reason of the universe, arguing that it is reflected in creation. The hosts contrast realism, where words correspond to real essences, with nominalism, where words are seen as arbitrary labels. They then connect these concepts to classical education which emphasizes the importance of grammar as a way...2025-01-2235 minThe Isidore Group - Simplify ITThe Isidore Group - Simplify ITKey Benefits of Cloud Databases for BusinessesCloud databases are transforming how businesses manage and store data.

Jesus’s mission of descent and ascent, mirrored by the Royal Official’s descent from Cana to Capernaum, are considered by Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett in this two-part discussion along with its implications for St. John’s view of humanity, the Trinity, faith, obedience, worldly status, communion, mission and the household of faith, the Church ...2024-04-2832 minEx UmbrisEx 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.

Commonly issued phrases such as “being on the right side of history” or “in this new era of progress” tacitly assume there is a beginning, middle, and end of history. But where does this notion come from? In Part 2 we consider Hegel’s philosophy of the self-conscious, desire, and how humans progress towards self-actualization through engagement with the other. This approach is contrasted with St. Irenaeus’s articulation of human fulfillment in the eyes of the Other. 2024-03-2429 minEx UmbrisEx Umbris47 Part 1 Hegel and St. Irenaeus: Progress and HistoryThe ideas of history and progress infuse many contemporary discussions.

But where does this notion come from? A debt of gratitude is owed to 19th century German philosopher G.F.W Hegel, whose “march of reason” sets much of the stage for human and historical progress.

It seems fitting for a podcast on classical Catholic education to have a Latin name, but what exactly does "ex 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 "ex umbris 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.

As a result, the Gospel of Mark largely dwelt in the marvelous shadows of the New Testament up until the 20th century. In this episode, the Carpenter and Solar Pons (sic) discuss this fiercely brilliant and captivating Gospel, as the case is made for why Mark should be read as first among equals.  #GospelofMark #ChestertonAcademy #Classicaleducation #teaching #Catholiceducation Dr. Gerard McLarney and Mr. Brett Fawcett are teachers at St. Isidore ONLINE Chesterton Academy in Sherwood Park, AB Canada.
