Dave PlierHOST
Well, you say in the book, America is becoming increasingly godless and the decline of spirituality has weakened shared concepts of right and wrong.
Dave PlierHOST
You know, Americans don't have to join the God squad, but religion can reinforce social order and everyone should respect the law and practice decent but I think that because it's being villainized, people don't talk about it.
Dave PlierHOST
I don't mind talking about it.
Dave PlierHOST
I'm Roman Catholic as well, and so I have our archbishop on all the time.
James BleckleyNARRATOR
To neglect these duties is to fail to answer the end of our creation and is a very great sin.
James BleckleyNARRATOR
While to pervert our natures and to prostitute ourselves and our strength to mere pleasures or to unlawful communion of the sexes is alike subversive of health, of pure, holy, and lasting affection, of moral and social order, and of the laws of God and nature.
James BleckleyNARRATOR
If we exempt murder, there is scarcely a more damning sin on the earth than the prostitution of female virtue or chastity at the shrine of pleasure or brutal lust, or that promiscuous and lawless intercourse which chills and corrodes the heart, perverts and destroys the pure affections, cankers and destroys, as it were, the wellsprings, the fountains, or issues of life.
James BleckleyNARRATOR
A man who obeys the ordinances of God is without blemish or deformity, who has sound health and mature age and enjoys liberty and access to the elements of life is designed to be the head of a woman, a father, and a guide of the weaker sex, and of those of tender age to mansions of eternal life and salvation.
Eric CastoHOST
I wanna thank you for taking time to tune into this Oasis podcast.
Eric CastoHOST
We're in the school of Ephesus, and, uh, we have been in a series, uh, that, that I am calling Societal Order.
Eric CastoHOST
And with this, Paul, as he, as he is ...
Eric CastoHOST
Now, I believe he's in Caesarea, and, uh, he's en route to Rome, but it's here that, uh, he's remembering the establishment of these churches, especially the Ephesians church, and we talk about the battle that he went through.
MatthewGUEST
It's very interesting." Anyway, William Temple.
MatthewGUEST
A mentor of mine, who many of you know, David Newton, often used to quote this line, "Government is the art of so arranging matters that self-interest promotes what justice demands." A few years back, I was interested to find out where did that interesting quote come from, and it turned out it was from Archbishop William Temple, and it's a quote from his book, Christianity and Social Order.
MatthewGUEST
"The art of government, in fact, is the art of ordering life that self-interest promo- prompts what justice demands," is the actual quote.
MatthewGUEST
Now I already get a sense of his, William Temple's, pragmatism aligned with a higher purpose that I really like.

MatthewGUEST
He was obviously an extremely energetic man, and it's said that he died of overwork.
MatthewGUEST
He worked himself to death, dying of a heart attack at 63 in the middle of the war, 1942.
MatthewGUEST
And in his relatively short life, somehow he wrote 19 books, and the second to last book was Christianity and Social Order, written in a hurry in the midst of the war, and I'll spend the rest of our time concentrating on that.
MatthewGUEST
I think this is a really wonderful book, and you should all read it.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
An 1868 article in the pro-South periodical The Land We Love summed them up quite well.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Quote, "Her conservatism, her love of the Constitution, her attachment to the old usage- usages of society, her devotion to principles, her faith in Bible truth, all these involved her in a long and bloody war with the radicalism which seeks to overthrow all that is venerable, respectable, and of good repute." So the war between the states, far from a conflict over mere material interests, was for the South a struggle against an aesthetic individualism and an unrelenting rationalism in politics and religion in favor of a Christian understanding of authority, social order, and theology itself.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
The intelligent left knows this, and even the incurably stupid, like Carol Moseley Braun, must at least sense it.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
For all their ignorant blather about slavery and civil rights, what truly enrages most liberals about the Confederate battle flag is its message of defiance.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In explaining his nausea at seeing Trump behave vilely towards Zelensky and US allies, for example, Brooks suggested that Trump was unraveling a benign US centered international order and replacing it with one where might makes right.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Let's call actions that undermine a social order socially corrosive.
speaker_2NARRATOR
My proposal then is this: moral disgust is a response to behavior that is socially corrosive.
speaker_2NARRATOR
More precisely, when some behavior undermines a set of moral norms that a person is attuned to, they feel morally disgusted.
speaker_2NARRATOR
An adult Muslim convert or a vegan could come to acquire moral disgust towards pork eating.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Behaviors once seen as morally disgusting, such as premarital sex, are now widely seen as acceptable.
speaker_2NARRATOR
When I suggest that morally disgusting actions undermine some social order, I mean that they threaten to stop a community from operating with some set of moral norms.
speaker_2NARRATOR
For example, if a political leader engages in corruption or an employer openly flirts with his employees, then the norms that govern that society or that workplace will be undermined as long as such behavior goes unchecked.
Dark EnlightenmentPANELIST
Yeah.
Dark EnlightenmentPANELIST
There can be no tolerance of Democrats and communists in a libertarian social order.
Dark EnlightenmentPANELIST
They must have to be, to be physically separated and expelled from society.
Dark EnlightenmentPANELIST
Likewise, in a covenant founded for the purpose of protecting family and kin, there can be no tolerance towards those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal.
DestinyHOST
But I mean this guy sounds like he's from three or four generations of inbreeding, so.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And social order-
DestinyHOST
I hate these motherfuckers.
DestinyHOST
Hell, get me out of here
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Thankfully, in a- for if you breed a husky, who loves snowy environments, and an Ibbeson hound, who prefers desert environments.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The offspring in such a situation would neither thrive in the snow nor the desert, but only be partially adapted to both.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And social order is a far more specialized and complex environment than climate.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Thankfully, in a circle triangle situation, both have shown partial adaptability to the other's social order.
