Iota Unum Talk 4 : Attacks on the Family within the Church - Sebastian Morello in Conversation with Maria Madise

Maria Madise works for Voice of the Family and is the editor of their monthly magazine Calx Mariae

Among other things, Maria discusses the original ‘schemata’ presented to the Second Vatican Council, which were intended as the first drafts of Council documents. Nearly all of these schemata were rejected, when the more progressive Council Fathers sought to gain control of the Council’s organisation.

The schema on Chastity, Marriage, the Family and Virginity represents a very useful summary of the magisterium on these closely related topics, and can be seen in English here.

Maria also drew attention to an initiative of Voice of the Family, Our Lady of the Rosary Family Catechism, a video programme of the entire Baltimore Catechism, presented by Fr Anthony Pillari, and to Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s ‘Twelve Steps to Surviving as a Catholic Family’.

Iota Unum Talk 3 : Spirituality of the Amazon and the Traditional Latin Mass - Joseph Shaw in conversation with Daniel Dolley

Daniel Dolley holds a DPhil in Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford. He has studied indigenous religions within the Amazon region, and also on the western side of the Andes where he conducted his own ethnographic field research. The indigenous cultures of these two lowland regions have much in common and are distinct from those of the Andes.

Daniel’s article in the Catholic Herald, which anticipates some of the themes of this podcast in relation to the controversial Amazon Synod of October 2019, can be seen here; a letter in response to his article, from Dr Pia Joliffe reflecting on her similar experiences in Chiang Mai in Thailand, is reproduced here. Following the Amazon Synod the Holy Father gave his response to it in the document Querida Amazonia, which Daniel commented on in a further article for the Catholic Herald, reproduced here. For the full text of the Amazon Synod see here.

Iota Unum Talk 2 : Lockdown, Riots & the French Revolution - Dr John Rao in Conversation with Dr Joseph Shaw

In the Second of the Latin Mass Society's Iota Unum Series, Dr John Rao speaks with Dr Shaw on the destruction of New York in Lockdown, on the impact of the recent riots in the USA and Jacobinism and the French Revolution.

John Rao received his DPhil from Oxford University, and for many years has been Associate Professor at St John’s University, New York. He is also the Director of the Roman Forum which was founded by Dietrich von Hildebrand. Among other things the Roman Forum organises an annual (in normal times) Summer Symposium in the northern Italian town of Gardone Riviera. This is a major gathering of traditionally-minded Catholic writers and academics from all over Europe and North America, whose proceedings have also appeared in book form, notably Luther and His Progeny which is edited by Dr Rao.

A great many of Dr Rao’s talks can be downloaded (for a small fee) from the Keep the Faith website associated with the Latin Mass Magazine; the Roman Forum Church History Lectures are available on SoundCloud, and a huge number of articles and other writings can be found on the Dr Rao’s website For the Whole Christ.

Dr Rao’s lectures have also found their way into book form, notably his Centenary Meditation on a Quest for Purification Gone Mad. Other recent books of his include a discussion of the history of the Church, Black Legends and the Light of the World and Removing the Blindfold: Nineteenth Century Catholics and the Myth of Modern Freedom.

Iota Unum Talk 1 : Gregorian Chant and Prayer - Matthew Ward in Conversation with Joseph Shaw

What is the relationship between Gregorian Chant and prayer.

Matthew is the Director of Music at Mayfield School and a Regional Director of Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge. A Cambridge graduate, with a doctoral thesis on twelfth-century chant, he was involved in singing Gregorian Chant at the Catholic Chaplaincy, Fisher House, and has since then done much to support chant in both Forms of the Roman Rite, with singing and training as well as lectures around the country.

Anyone wanting to hear more of Matthew can listen to a series of podcasts featuring on Radio Maria England: "The Rosary in Music" (search here).

Those interested in Gregorian Chant can find a huge amount of material on the website of the Church Music Association of America, MusicaSacra.com (resources page).
