The Battle of Magdeburg was a real historical event where Protestants and Catholics fought over the city of Magdeburg. This battle was fought to force the Protestants to become Catholic but ended in the massacre of two thirds of the population.
From these horrific events, Gertrud von le Forte writes a novel about an actual wedding in Magdeburg. This novel has been recently translated and published by Ignatius Press, and it is championed by Vivian Dudro. Andrew Petiprin joins Vivian to discuss the historical background of Gertrud von le Forte and the novel itself. They discuss some of the main themes of the novel such as strength in weakness, ecumenism, and Mariology. “The Wedding of Magdeburg” is a true and as of yet unknown classic; you won’t regret picking up this book.

Traditional Thomists are normally unfriendly to Henri De Lubac, but today’s guest, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy points out that Thomists are very indebted to De Lubac and should join him on the battlefield.
Fr. Cajetan Cuddy is a Dominican priest, scholar, and Youtuber who recently presented at the De Lubac conference hosted by the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and the Family. He joins us today to talk about De Lubac and his critical insight into the rise of constructive atheism. Fr. Cuddy and Ben Eriksen talk about De Lubac’s response to this new threat to the human person. They also discuss the tendency of academics and intellectuals to focus too exclusively on the academic end of writing and researching while ignoring the search for truth and God who is much more than an intellectual principle. Their conversation not only provides insights into our modern culture but also demonstrates the crucial overlap between intellectual inquiry and one’s lived experience.
