East2West Theology

Christ is King: What Does This ACTUALLY Mean? | EP 025

In this episode we briefly explore why the culture is currently abuzz about the phrase "Christ is King" and then break down the rich theological significance behind this ancient truism, including the story behind the Feast of Christ the King, the charism of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priests, and why this phrase cannot ever be culturally appropriated by those who would wish to mock God or His children. We conclude by making the case that by acknowleding not only the fullness of the meaning behind Christ is King, but also by complementing that with the equally true rally cry that "Mary is Queen," we just may be able to unite East and West in Christianity's quest for unity, and catechize our separated Abrahamic brethren in the process. N.B. Kyle Dean: I accidentally invoked the great St. Pius V of 16th century fame at the 4:28 marker rather than Pius XI who in fact instituted the Feast of Christ the King in his encyclical Quas Primas December 11, 1925.

The Red Heifers: What Catholics Need to Know Now (THIS AFFECTS ALL OF HUMANITY) | EP 024

Kyle Dean breaks down the theological significance of the red heifers that have been brought to Israel, beginning with an exhortation on The Book of Numbers chapter 19, tracing the connection to the history of the Jewish Temples, and into the present day where we may be on the verge of historical current events that will impact the future of all of humanity. In this reaction video, Dennis G, learning of the red heifers for the first time, provides a theological hot-take as his training immediately grasps the significance of current events, especially how the red heifers are a direct cause for the current conflict in Israel beginning October 7, 2023 from the viewpoint of Hamas Muslims. We conclude with pragmatic advice on how to spiritually prepare and offer special intentions for our Jewish and Muslim brethren. © Dennis Gradaigh & Kyle D.

The Buffalo, NY Total Eclipse & Black Swan 2024 Connection

Just days before the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, we recorded this video to provide a Buffalonian theological perspective on the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 with Buffalo being the final major city with 100% eclipse coverage in the USA, and the most significant total eclipse over America completing the 2017 cross since 1776. Our heartfelt prayers go out to all impacted by yesterday's sad tragedy. © Dennis Gradaigh & Kyle D. Gorlick ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
