Some serious thoughts, questions, and important Christian doctrinal considerations about the morality of the US war with Iran.

In this episode of The Dispatches I pose some (hopefully) sober and consideration-worthy thoughts and questions about the US war with Iran. I was initially hesitant to broach this topic in a podcast, but the persistent and strident false dichotomies that have dominated online discourse since the missile strikes were launched convinced me to offer my thoughts. What if we don’t need to fall prey to a toxic and unhelpful ‘you’re either for us or against us’ mentality, but instead opted for a more measured third way which accepts the evil of the Iranian regime while also questioning the morality and prudence of Trump’s war with Iran?

A reflection for the modern and wearied seeker of truth... It is my contention that we are now living in the most propagandised era in human history. In this episode I reflect on why this is so, and, more importantly, share some wise insights that might help us to better navigate the polyphonous preponderance of propaganda we are all now bombarded by.

Father Thomas Joseph White is a Dominican Priest; a founding member of The Hillbilly Thomists - a bluegrass band comprised entirely of Dominican Friars that has appeared on stage with the likes of The Zac Brown Band - and the Rector of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome, an institution which boasts Pope John Paul II, and Pope Leo XIV amongst its alumni.

In this episode we discuss everything from why the loss of authentic anthropology is so concerning; to the crisis of the collapsing liberal order; the question of nationalism and Christianity; the importance of Saint John Henry Newman being declared a Doctor of the Church, AND MORE!
