| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It is the 6th of April, 24. It is 11 p.m. here in Athens, Greece. I know some of my |
| 0:11.2 | not so friendly listeners will probably say, what's a hermit doing in Greece. The truth is I am looking at perhaps making my |
| 0:25.3 | permanent hermitage somewhere else besides the United States. Eventually there's a lot of hoops to jump |
| 0:32.0 | through canonically and everything else. But behind me is the Acropolis and that is where St. Paul |
| 0:40.1 | preached, rather he preached right next to the Acropolis and Fulton Sheen, I don't |
| 0:45.4 | agree with everything Fulton Sheen said. He promoted Tehr de Chardin who was |
| 0:49.1 | basically the Proto New Age priest of the Jesuits. So I don't agree with everything that Fulton Sheen said, but he had a very beautiful insight on |
| 0:57.7 | Paul preaching at the Acropolis behind me, and it was this. |
| 1:02.3 | He showed that it was the one time that St. Paul preached Christ, but didn't really |
| 1:07.6 | include Christ crucified. |
| 1:10.0 | There was, of course course no heresy. |
| 1:11.8 | He talked about the unknown God, tried to kind of meet people where they're at maybe. |
| 1:16.3 | And Fulton Sheen points out he had no conversions and it seems that after that St. Paul |
| 1:21.8 | always had the resolution to henceforth preach Christ crucified, only Christ crucified. And if Fulton Sheen is right, that |
| 1:30.8 | little conversion, it wasn't a huge conversion, but that little conversion took place right |
| 1:36.4 | next to the Acropolis behind me in Athens. So it's Saturday night, 11 p.m. where I am, |
| 1:42.0 | probably early where most my listeners are. And just as St. Paul knew that |
| 1:47.8 | there was two ways to preach either Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ crucified and risen, two very |
| 1:53.3 | different approaches to life. I think the temptation for modernists is to preach human dignity |
| 1:59.1 | instead of the glory of God. And that's what I'm |
| 2:02.5 | make this video about today. Today I went to a Greek Catholic church here in Athens and it's |
| 2:09.7 | absolutely stunning. One of the overlaps I noticed between Eastern Catholicism and traditional |
