Episode #4842 Topsy Turbulent World

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles the topsy turvy turbulent world leading him to the realization that the human race is messed up.  Fr. Koys wrinkles your brain to consider the historical times of the past as he relates it to the times of today to reflect that much has not changed.  He contemplates the time of the two popes: Pope Gregory the Tenth and Pope Martin the Fourth.  He discusses the historical impact of each of these Popes and how they impacted the Church: one unifying it and the other dividing it. He uses lessons from history to relate to our times today pointing out that we should learn from history and repeat the good and not the bad. He surmises that morals today are basic and should hold fast but unfortunately it is the other way around for many in the church today. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]

Episode #4840 Households Level of the Heptagraph

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles the topic of households. Households is one of the seven layers in Father Koys art piece “Heptagraph”.  Fr. Koys wrinkles your brain to contemplate this level of association as he references historical references to clarify the fascinating connections.  He dives into historical references on Shakespeare, the House of Plantagenet; it’s two branches, House of York and House of Lancaster, as well as the House of Tudor and the war of the Roses.  While experiencing technical difficulties today, Father Koys was a real trooper and trudge along to make his point in order to wrinkle your brain.  Happy Wednesday!
