E133 On Antisemitism: What a Week w/Andrew Petiprin
Today on the show we take a break from our regular programming to talk about antisemitism and the dangers of its counterfeit gospel. Using Ye's recent remarks about Hitler as a launching point, we discuss the rise of antisemitism on the political right and dissect Mit Brennender Sorge's, Pope Pius XI's encyclical to Germans in 1937, to talk about why and how antisemitism is antithetical to the Gospel and must be identified and condemned wherever it rears its ugly head.
