In this wide-ranging Easy Chair session, R.J. Rushdoony revisits the rich legacy of the Irish Church, delves into the enduring heresy of Pelagianism, and offers sharp insight into the moral decay behind state power—from Diocletian’s Rome to modern bureaucracies. With reflections on Christian resistance under tyranny, the dangers of statist education and healthcare, and even the cola wars as political allegory, Rushdoony’s commentary blends historical depth with biting cultural critique, challenging listeners to discern the spiritual roots beneath society’s surface upheavals.
