You know, Paris Chauvin's Retrogrades, happy Monday.

Don't know such thing truly exists.

I am doing a special delve into the catacomb today, that which restrains, that which

holds back the Antichrist.

And joining me is my friend Joshua Charles, a Catholic convert, a former White House speechwriter, number one

New York Times bestselling author. That sounds fancy. Storian and classical pianist, that is pianist.

That's right. That's right. Joshua T. How are you, bro?

Good. Thank you. I'm honored to be here.

And I've had quite a few jokes sent me away because of that last item, you know, over the years.

Yeah.

Mostly from my guy friends.

Of course, the classical pianist.

The first one we've had on Rules for Retrogrades.

I'm honored to have you, man.

I mean, look, we've talked a lot behind the scenes over the last two to three years about various projects of ours, but especially

on this, what is it, a bet noir of yours, the catacom. It's a scriptural point. I'm going to tell Perishorphins and

retrogrades out there just in the most introductory terms possible. The catacon is that

which withholds, it's a Greek term, meaning perhaps the one who withholds, a biblical concept,

which is subsequently developed into a notion of

political philosophy, has something to do with Christendom, and Josh, you're going to tell us what today.

The term is founded in 2nd, Thessalonians chapter 2, verses 6 through 7, in a specifically eschatological

context.
