This is the video followup to my last post. Blaise gave me a shoutout on his latest post, which references a talk I gave in Houston (Dec. 2019).
From his post:

The two words that the NATO people use that are not found in the Semitic languages are the verbs (to have) and (to be). And those two are the downfall of Western civilization and an explanation for the current events in the news. It is crucial for understanding scripture. If you (are) nothing and you (have) nothing, you aren’t special.
He’s prolific. Follow him on Medium if you haven’t already.

Homily on Sts. Peter and Paul
