Our seventh show debuts RIGHT HERE on January 20 at 8:00 PM Eastern. It will then be rebroadcast on Friday at 7:00 PM Eastern (6:00 Central), and again on the following Tuesday at 7:00 PM Eastern (6:00 Central). The topic is The Christian Politics of Spain’s ‘Carlist’ Counterrevolutionaries. My guest is Dr. Alexandra Wilhelmsen, Professor of Spanish and Adjunct Professor of History at the University of Dallas, an acknowledged expert on Spanish Carlism, a political and religious movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

As esoteric as the subject may sound to some, this is not a topic that should remain confined to a handful of scholars. The Carlists are legitimist monarchists whose political thinking beautifully encapsulates traditional Catholic social doctrine. In Spanish, they are known as the Comunión Tradicionalista Carlista (Carlist Traditionalist Communion), showing their love of tradition, religious, national, and social.
