Humbly presenting the Golden Thread of Our Theology. The City of the Immaculata (Niepokalanow in Polish) was formed by St Maximillian Kolbe as a means to combat the rising tide of secularism and indifference. Kolbe trained his MI to use any legitimate means necessary to bring the Immaculata to the whole world, in particular all forms of modern communication. While we cover a variety of historical and theological topics, our emphasis is through a Franciscan lens. Our patrons here are St Francis, St Bonaventure, St John Henry Newman, St Maximilian Kolbe and Servant of God Black Elk.

Last lecture we discussed a Golden Thread which runs through the history of the Franciscan Order- the cause and promotion of Our Lady as Immaculata. Today we discuss another thread, a darker one which stretches back deep into the annals of time. This dark thread seems to tie together disparate themes, people, and places, and is at work in a unique way in our own time. Join as we discuss the darkness and the Lady.

My name is Brian Keith, and this is the story of my strange journey into the Catholic Church.

O Death, where is thy sting? Some of the hardest hitting words from St Paul. Yet death does have a sting to it and when it hits us, we feel it. Two years ago I lost my best friend to cancer, and it has effected me greatly. Join as we discuss the loss of a good friend, from a Catholic perspective.

Our Lady, Immaculata as the thread which unites the Order of Friars Minor across eight centuries. The significance of this on metaphysics and the course of all human history. Subscribe on Patreon: https://patreon.com/CityoftheImmaculata Support the Channel: https://linktr.ee/cityimmaculata

On the Franciscan Thesis

Tonight I employ 20 years of research into the Russian Revolution and show you how dangerously close we are to the precipice.

Ep 1


In this lecture we'll be looking at the rise of the Medieval university, especially it's relation to the art of disputation and rhetoric. These crucial developments would in turn shape the Catholic Church in such a way that would make her poised to be the world religion she eventually became. Join as we discuss how this came to pass.

A controversial and highly misunderstood Catholic saint, Anselm of Canterbury was a brilliant theologian and a first rate thinker. Because in some ways he straddles the old and new world, many struggle to place his ideas in an orthodox light. Join in this lecture where we discuss both the context of his time and how to read this Doctor of the Church.
