N.B. Kyle Dean: I accidentally invoked the great St. Pius V of 16th century fame at the 4:28 marker rather than Pius XI who in fact instituted the Feast of Christ the King in his encyclical Quas Primas December 11, 1925. Mea culpa!

Contemporarily referred to as apologetics (Greek: apologia = defense), this science utilizes the two wings of philosophy and history to systematically and progressively prove by the natural light of reason:


1) There is an immanent God

2) It is most reasonable to accept that this God is Jesus Christ

3) Jesus Christ established one specific universal church for salvation


The East and the West find great unity in this apologetical undertaking.
