Church & State Supporting the Sacrifice -- Aaron & Hur upholding Moses' Arms [ADS 2/5]

Church & State Supporting the Sacrifice -- Aaron & Hur upholding Moses' Arms [ADS 2/5]

Author: Fr James Mawdsley August 24, 2023 Duration: 20:20

The battle between good and evil waged through all history is symbolised by Moses up on the hill while Joshua fights it out on the battlefield (Ex 17). These two represent Jesus Christ up in Heaven and simultaneously here on earth, among us, leading the Church Militant.


Aaron and Hur upholding Moses' weary arms represent Church and State faithfully confessing Christ, that is upholding the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass -- symbolised by Moses' outstretched arms as Christ crucified. The battle ebbs and flows, has ups and downs. It is pressing hard against us now, but thanks to the great stone upon which Moses leant, the victory for good is sure. That rock is Christ -- and our altar in Holy Mass.

In Scripture and Tradition--Fr JM. Dedicated to the defeat of spiritual tyranny-¡Viva Cristo Rey!, Fr James Mawdsley offers a sustained and rigorous exploration of Catholic teaching, drawing from the twin fonts of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. This isn't a superficial commentary but a series of clear and deep dives designed to fortify listeners in their faith and understanding. The central, unifying aim of the podcast is a spiritual struggle: working towards the defeat of the Antichrist, anticipating the Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart, and ultimately longing for the Reign of Christ the King. Each episode is a building block in that mission, providing theological insight and spiritual nourishment for those engaged in this interior and exterior battle. The tone is both learned and fervent, a call to arms rooted in centuries of Church thought. While you'll find this audio podcast here, Fr Mawdsley also creates video content on YouTube under the same name, and has authored the New Old book series, details of which are available via his author page. Tune in for a substantive, unflinching look at the truths of the faith and their urgent application in the modern world. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
