A study in act and potency: Plate from Histoire des arbres forestiers de l’Amérique septentrionale: Quercus virginiana (southern live oak) Original caption: Quercus virens. Live Oak (Chêne vert). These acorns are of the species that gives us the half-millenium old Angel Oak in South Carolina, and the beautiful oaks of Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana.
“Reconquest” is a militant, engaging, and informative Catholic radio program featuring interviews with interesting guests as well as commentary by your host. It is a radio-journalistic extension of the Crusade of Saint Benedict Center.
Each weekly, one-hour episode of Reconquest will debut RIGHT HERE on Wednesday night at 8:00 PM Eastern (7:00 PM Central). It will then be rebroadcast according to the Crusade Channel programming schedule (note: all times listed are Central time).
Thank you for this! One small correction: Dr. Feser’s last name is pronounced like “phaser,” as in the fictional Star Trek weapon. I think it’s German.
Thank you for the correction, Olaus. I hate getting someone’s name wrong. And I am “stunned,” by your mnemonic device for helping me pronounce it correctly.
Thank you Brother!
I especially liked your explication of the new powers/potencies we receive through elevation to the supernatural life through Baptism, to put into act “the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Rom 8:21
Also, I appreciated the cogency of using act/potency to defend human life
Thank you again Brother and God Bless!
You are welcome, jpk! And thank you for your kind comment. I’m glad you liked the show!
