32-Julian, the Apostate Who Aped the Church | Way of the Fathers with Mike Aquilina

[@fiveadayproductions987]

Mike Aquilina is the best! 💓. I was wondering if Mike Aquilina/Catholic Culture have come across the Apology of St. Artistedes of Athens written ~125A.D to the Emperor Hadrian. It's such a wonderful Early Christian work and was very moved reading it today. It's also a very Early testimony that Early Christians viewed Jesus as God incarnate, useful to have against the claims made by Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses etc. who say the Early Church didn't recognise Christ as Divine. God Bless as always.

I'm sure Mike has. I remember reading or skimming it a few years ago.

@@CatholicCulturePod maybe you should make a video reading it with visuals and text. With preface to give it context and commentary at the end for edification.

@@DavidRodriguez-er4rq Nice idea - we have limited resources for video production of that kind, but in case you don't know, we do have an audiobook series already. (We haven't done the work by St. Aristides, but we will consider it, and also will definitely do works by St. Justin Martyr in the future.)

21:41 As relevant for us to understand today as it was 1500 years ago. May all the utopians, big and small come to understand this truth, we need Grace, without it, nothing good can be done or sustained

It's misinformation. The pagan Romans were already speaking of Just War long before Christianity even existed, see for instance Livy 9.1.10. Likewise in the pagan philosopher Seneca's Letter 47 he urged masters to treat slaves with kindness because we're all equally slaves of fate and fortune. Likewise killing slaves without justification was banned by the Pagan Emperor Antoninus Pius.

The Apostasy of Julian is alive and well among to today's secularists. And it seem to be failing in all of the same ways for all of the same reasons.

Too bad, he could have been truly great had wrath not burned and poisoned his hands.

This video is packed with misinformation. The Pagan Romans were already speaking of Just War long before Christianity even existed, see for instance Livy 9.1.10.

Yeah, christians don't like giving credit for good ideas to anyone who isn't Christian
