Welcome to the second Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast episode! Join us as we, your hosts, Jeremy Hausotter and Guillermo Moreno, (Charles was absent and will come back next time!) go into more detail about the main catalyst for Le Nouvel Esprit! We explain how the idea for LNE was born as a method of apologetics namely against radical traditionalism.
The idea was sparked by Jeremy in his discussions with his friends who were rad trads, and how their points of view ultimately dissented from the Catholic Church, though they claim the opposite to be true, and that they are the true Catholics, adherents to the "Remnant Church." Guillermo, on the other hand, shares his experience with this right-wing dissent from the Church by being introduced by Jeremy to a rad trad website and their Facebook page, in which Guillermo witnessed firsthand their alt-right paradigm.
Join us as we journey through a brief history of radical traditionalism's godfather organization, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and as we comment on the logic behind their worldview.
Le Nouvel Esprit is a Catholic personalism website where we address Vatican II, theology, philosophy, and culture.
