The Magnificast

Hey folks, Dean is traveling for work this week and is going to see St. Francis' bones on display in Italy (this is not a joke), so this week we're reposting some classic Cuba content from 2022! 
It's the last week of Advent! We made it. We're rounding out our series on Cuba with some extremely niche content about Papal visits and Cuba. This is some really in the weeds content, but it shows a real interesting interchange between the Cuban revolution and religion. There's a dialectic at play here that is worth paying attention to! 
Here was the book we mentioned from Fidel on the podcast: https://archive.org/details/capitalismincris00cast/page/36/mode/2up
You can find all of JPII's addresses in Cuba here: https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/travels/1998/travels/documents/trav_cuba-1998.html

Over the last few weeks, we've been talking about Revelation and it's apocalypticism. But what is apocalypticism? In this episode we read Pablo Richard's Apocalypse and learn all about it!

This week we read Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza's book Revelation: Justice and Judgement. Throughout the episode, we talk about liberation theology and the book of Revelation, exegesis, and ways of reading Revelation.
Also, please note that we recorded this via zoom and it gets crunchy sometimes. Sorry in advance.
