Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 91 The churches are under attack, not just from without but also from within. Marxist subversion has been brought deeply into them, and they are already falling. The model for how this is being accomplished mirrors the model used to steal education, so it's little surprise that the Brazilian Marxist educator Paulo Freire is at the bottom of it. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay picks up out of the Critical Education Series (https://newdiscourses.com/tag/critical-education-theory/) in which he has been reading most of Freire's landmark 1985 book, The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation (https://amzn.to/3IJ4ZOT). Here, he presents the last two thirds of the tenth chapter of that book, which is dedicated not to education at all but to seeing churches as educational platforms that can be utilized in the same way as schools to raise Marxist consciousness. The model is simple: capture the colleges of education and seminaries and you get the teachers and the pastors, and once you have them you get the students and the laity. Join James to understand the goal of transforming the Christian churches in theory, practice, and agenda in this gripping podcast that exposes the roots and implementation of a devastating Marxist rot in mainline Christianity and thus the chief heresy of the twenty-first century.

0:00.0	All right, hey, everybody. Welcome to the new discourses podcast. This is James Lindsay.
0:24.8	We're going to talk about the prophetic church. We're finally going to wrap up with this
0:29.1	politics of education book from Paulo Freire. Finally, we're going to wrap this up.
0:36.0	Sooner or later, I won't leave you hanging. We will go to pedagogy of the oppressed.
0:42.0	I've got some queer theory fish to fry, though, so that might take a minute.
0:45.9	But we've already covered the educational part of this book in previous
0:52.0	umpteen episodes. And then in the last half of chapter 10, which is not the last chapter of
0:57.2	the book, by the way, it's the last chapter we're going to talk about. Paulo Freire goes on to
1:04.6	talk about the church and the role of the church and what the church is for, and theology,
1:10.0	and liberation theology. In the eleventh chapter, he actually, it's just a page, page and a half
1:16.2	letter of praise to the father of the so-called black liberation theology by James Cohn,
1:22.8	which is like this weird adoption of Catholic Marxism, aka liberation theology, into a black
1:31.5	critical race theory flavored Protestantism and turned into an absolute grift. And so chapter
1:38.6	11 praises James Cohn and black liberation theology. But chapter 10 is about liberation theology
1:45.1	and the role of the church. And so in the previous episode, the final episode talking about
1:49.9	education, we found out the first half of this bizarrely religious chapter of the politics of
1:55.1	education, which I think we'll have to return to this at some point and read it again,
1:59.6	urges educators to live through a personal death and resurrection, their own personal Easter,
2:06.1	literally phrases that way. So they can be resurrected on the side of the oppressed,
2:11.4	where they can see the world from the perspective of the oppressed or from what the Chinese
2:15.5	would have called the people's standpoint, under Mao. And they have to do that if they hope to be
2:21.3	able to engage in a true education for liberation, or in fact, in this case, a true prophetic church,
