In this episode of Logos Podcast, Fr. Max and Fr. Joseph dive deep into Rocco Buttiglione’s chapter on Modernity’s Alternative and explore how Our Lady of Guadalupe reveals the ultimate Christian claim: being is good.
We trace the drama of Mesoamerican religion, human sacrifice, the collapse of a symbolic world after the Spanish conquest, and why evangelization initially failed — until a pregnant woman appeared on Tepeyac.
This conversation unpacks:
• Why the Noahic covenant matters more than we think
• How pagan religions hold both seeds of the Word and seeds of the devil
• Why suffering challenges our belief in the goodness of being
• How the tilma of Guadalupe spoke directly into a culture that had lost the will to live
• Christianity’s astonishing claim: God Himself becomes the sacrificed Son
• What this means for hope, pro-life culture, and the dignity of the human person today
If you're hungry for philosophy, theology, cosmology, evangelization, or deeper Marian devotion, this episode is for you.
