The Birth of the Secular State. The Modern Crisis: From the French Revolution to Today. Three major Catholic historians explain — Warren Carroll, Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo, Hilaire Belloc, each explain the deep conflict between modernity and the Catholic Church.
We examine:
• The French Revolution and the birth of the modern secular state
• Carroll’s view of the Revolution as a metaphysical rebellion
• Pelayo’s intellectual genealogy of heresy and the problem of both anti-Clericalism and 'Clericalism' (inside subversion).
• Belloc’s thesis that modern politics is structurally anti-Catholic
• How internal and external crises repeat across history
• Why Western modernity specifically targets the Catholic Church
This video argues that the conflict between modernity and the Church is not only political, not only cultural, but ultimately metaphysical — a struggle over the nature of the human person, the source of authority, and the destiny of civilization.
If you appreciate long-form analysis on intellectual history, metaphysics, and the crisis of the modern West, subscribe for more episodes of Interpreting Tradition.

I read and interpret what deserves not to be forgotten. If that resonates—join in.
Some of what I share In this channel "Interpreting Tradition", are reflections on Literature, Politics, History, Philosophy. Sometimes I read old texts out loud, and sometimes I just speak into the camera. But behind every video is the same impulse: to preserve something. To interpret what’s been handed down — carefully, honestly, and with a sense of reverence.
Thanks for being here.
