Probably one of the most clear portrayals of the medieval Christian cosmology that most modern humans will hear and watch in their lifetimes.
Understanding the relationship between politics, liturgy, metaphyics, and ethics is essential to solving the modern crisis.
“Restore the things that are gone to decay, maintain the things that are restored, punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order: that doing these things you may be glorious in all virtue; and so faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this life.”

If you’re looking for a Church without prostitutes at it, you might want to pick one that isn’t run by Jesus.
I have to be honest, with the rare exception of meeting trad caths in college and after, girls like this were the norm among cradle Catholics I knew growing up in Texas. The reason southern Evangelicals react negatively to Catholicism isn't purely doctrinal.
