Why POWER Keeps Knocking on ROME's Door

2025. Civilizational Exhaustion. For most of modern history, Power believed it had outgrown Rome.
After the Enlightenment, after the nation-state, after the administrative empire, the Church was increasingly treated as a cultural artifact: useful for symbolism, irrelevant for authority. Kings no longer waited. Presidents no longer knelt. Rome became a photo-op, not a destination.
And yet—quietly, unmistakably—that changed.
Not among the poor first. Not among the devout.
But among the powerful.
Presidents. Prime ministers. Billionaires. Davos regulars. People who already had access to everything modernity promised—and discovered that it promised less than advertised.
When they began lining up at the Vatican again, something important had already failed elsewhere.
This isn’t about piety. It’s about civilizational EXHAUSTION.
Modern power knows how to administer, regulate, surveil, and optimize. What it no longer knows how to do is to justify itself.

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.
