S6 E6: Light in Darkness, Part 1
08/15/23 • 79 min
The first two-parter in Unlimited Opinions history! Join us as we look at the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages, beginning with the fall of Rome, the conversions of the various barbarian tribes, the invasion of the Muslims, and the low point of papal history! Throughout this episode, we continuously ask whether or not the Dark Ages were truly dark, given the presence of strong theological centers in monasteries and the presence of a new Christian legal system. We also go on plenty of rants, including one about Andrew Tate and starting our own combination fraternity-monasteries!

S6 E5: Holy Wisdom
Join us for our first in-person episode in many months! In this episode, we look at the philosophical ideas of the Church Fathers, the natures of Jesus Christ, the relationship of the Holy Trinity, and the authority of the Church. Focusing on figures like Origen, Cyril of Alexandria, Ambrose, and especially Augustine, we look at the early Church's answers to the false teachings of Arianism, Docetism, Nestorianism, Monarchianism, and more! We also manage to revive the age-old debate of whether or not God exists within time, this time focusing on if God is changeable in His perfection!

S6 E7: Light in Darkness, Part 2
This chapter was so dense that we still had over an hour's worth of thoughts for the second episode! Join us as we look at the rest of the Dark Ages, specifically covering the Vikings, the decline of Western culture, the theology of the Dark Ages, the continuing formation of the liturgy, and much more! We of course keep asking the central question: were the Dark Ages truly dark?
