Mike Baker hosts this podcast. It is broken down into three sections with commercial breaks between each of them. Baker picked a handful of news stories and presents them with an occasional sarcastic remark or poor attempt at humor.
The news that he presented in this episode focused mostly on foreign affairs. Even the story about an American college resolved around protests in favor of Palestine.
There is not a lot of depth in the story but they do a good job of quickly highlighting what is happening in the world on a given day.
Overall if there is some major event that happens I might give this a listen on a given day, but I will not be adding it to my library.
Thomas Aquinas is credited as one of the greatest proponents of natural law. During his time in Cologne he was taught by Albertus Magnus. Magnus used the teachings of Aristotle in his mentorship of Thomas Aquinas.
Samuel Adams believed in American Independence from Great Britain. He is one of the most well know Son's of Liberty. On August 1, 1776 he gave a speech to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
This month this community will focus on Natural Law. What is Natural Law? How is it applied in real world situations? What are the alternatives to Natural Law? These are some of the issues that will be discussed this month.
“Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity.”
Lord Acton
