Before we get to the questions in this episode the Chevalier discusses Blessed Karl of Austria and the Servant of God Zita, his wife, whose Feast Day was the day after this was recorded.
Blessed Karl was the father of my youngest daughter's godfather, and is one of the Charleses for whom our middle son, Charles Albert Mary, was named. His actual Name Saint is the earlier Emperor Karl, commonly called Charlemagne, and he's also named for a great grandfather, a great uncle, and an uncle.
We then segue into another discussion of The End of Democracy, by M. with Mr Frankini reading a few short quotes from the book and he and the Chevalier discussing them. In the discussion of one of the quotes, the Chevalier mentions the vile child abuse inherent in California's 'non binary gender' that had just been signed into law.
His discussion of how he became a monarchist is fascinating. Unlike him, I was blessed with a monarchist family as I've discussed before. I don't remember a time when I wasn't a monarchist.
He rapidly puts paid to the protestant misunderstanding of Just War Theory, but it's quite interesting.
His discussion of the next question points out that whilst ideally heresies and evil ideologies should be forbidden to proselytise and violations of the law punished, sometimes the common good requires toleration. A fascinating discussion.
No, Wicca is not the witchcraft of the middle ages, and yes, there was real satanism involved in the earlier witchcraft, but watch his explication of the topic.
The question on the death penalty was before Francis elevated his heresy to whatever the 'magisterium' means to him. Obviously not what it means to the Catholic Church!
The last two questions deal with traditions of our ancestors, first the Chevalier's French-Canadian ancestors, and second with Catholic traditions in general. On the first he gives examples from his childhood and on the second he recommends a number of books to use as resources for rebuilding our traditions.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
