Live Tues @630 PM MST
When you look at the headlines today—Donald Trump and Christian Nationalism, Vladimir Putin’s "Holy War" in Ukraine, or Viktor Orban’s "Illiberal Democracy"—you are seeing the ghosts of the 4th Century.
This Tuesday on Transition Radio, we are connecting the dots between the ancient Roman Empire and the modern geopolitical landscape. We’re investigating the "Constantinian Deal": the moment the church traded its prophetic voice for imperial protection, tax exemptions, and political power.
In Part One of our new series, "The Imperial Hijack," we follow the money trail from the feudal rent-taxes of the Middle Ages to the mandatory "tithe" that fuels the modern religious institution.
We’ll explain how the "Professional Christian"—the salaried clergy—was a Roman invention designed to turn a calling into a career, locking leaders into a system they can’t afford to question.
We aren't just looking at the past; we’re looking at 2025. We’ll show how Project 2025 in the US and the Symphonia doctrine in Russia are essentially reboots of the same imperial software Constantine installed at the Council of Nicaea. If you want to understand the real engine driving the intersection of religion and politics today, tune in this Tuesday. The Empire is still running—come see how it works.
