1. Live Aristotle's Ethics; beginning October 8th, 2024; taught by Timothy Gordon:
https://www.timothyjgordon.com/product-page/live-fall-2023-aristotle-s-ethics
Description: This is arguably the most important class a student will ever take. Our education makes us smart—not for the sake of intelligence alone, but rather for the sake of making us morally good. Aristotle, a pagan who lived three centuries before Christ, discovered the key to the development of human natural virtue, habit, a topic which is the center of this course. Thomas Aquinas simply called Aristotle “The Philosopher” (which evidences the latter's towering importance) and considered his moral teaching on the natural law authoritative, even compared to Catholic philosophers. Together with the Church History course, the Ethics semester will change the worldview of the successful student more drastically than any other class.
2. Live The Book of Apocalypse and the End Times; beginning October 7th, 2024; taught by Mr. Andrew Orozco.

Description: Gain the clarity of faith and confidence in God by examining the Scripture and Traditions’ teaching about the the last days, the rise of the Antichrist, and Christ’s second coming. Using the book of Apocalypse, Daniel, the epistles and Fathers as our guide, we will examine how Christ will definitively cast out the enemy from our lives and from the world.

Do you all agree with the historical mourning period for one's husband? It seems that this convention has been erased entirely...
LIVE NOW! These are my 10 fascinating facts from the Annelise Michel exorcism !!
LIVE LINK:
1. Multiple “Voices” Claimed to Speak
During the exorcisms, several distinct demonic personalities allegedly spoke through Anneliese, including Lucifer, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Cain, Hitler, and a disgraced priest named Fleischmann. Each had a different tone and manner of speech.
2. Over 60 Exorcism Sessions
She underwent 67 exorcism sessions (lasting up to 4 hours each) between September 1975 and July 1976, following the Rite of Exorcism (Rituale Romanum) authorized by her local bishop.
3. Focus on the Rosary
The demons repeatedly expressed terror of the Rosary, calling it “a strong weapon against us.” They lamented that few Catholics prayed it anymore and rejoiced that priests dismissed it as “old-fashioned.”
4. Criticism of the Clergy
Voices claimed that many priests had abandoned prayer, reverence, and tradition. They mocked that priests “face the people, not God” at...
