2023-05-01 17:59:52 +0000 UTCIt’s not a coincidence that Bohemia got its own king and its own religious order because these things happened hundreds of years apart from each other…?Otherwise I approve of your summary of the Hussite wars 😉 and also super interesting are the taborites aka the radical faction, who practiced an early form of communism

He was protected by Marguerite of Navarre, Francis I’d sister, who also protected Clement Morot, translator of the psalms, who was jailed for eating lard during Lent. She was Henri IV’s grandmother. The one who said Paris is worth a Mass, a chicken in every pot on Sunday, and who issued the edict of toleration.
Ellen Harold
2023-01-30 20:28:34 +0000 UTCThe important point about the cages, which have been replaced more than once, is that they are hung from the the "Burgher" church, a mere 200 meters or so from the Dom, the bishops church. It was also a clear sign to the citizenry.

2023-01-22 23:40:35 +0000 UTCThey did a TV movie in Germany ('93) about "John of Leiden" starring no less than God Christoph Waltz as Bockelson! Look up "König der letzten Tage". Good stuff.

2023-01-22 23:25:51 +0000 UTCI’m pausing 25 minutes in to (again) compliment you guys on your impressive grasp of Christian history and dogma. Every other time I’ve heard lefties try to discuss this stuff, they are so misinformed about the nuances of theology that their analysis is full of strawmen and is, frankly, very off putting. It’s what kept me away from the left for many years as a younger Christian, despite feeling that much was broken within the conservative upbringing I’d been raised into. I thought, “Why should I listen to the criticism of liberals toward my faith if they didn’t even bother to understand its basic tenets?”. You guys (Chapo) have produced the ONLY content I would ever be comfortable sending to a conservative Christian friend or family member to try and open their mind a little bit. I know you guys don’t make content to address conservative Christians (duh), but you should know that what you’re doing is very important in reaching a woefully underserved demographic. There are more open-minded Christians than there appear to be. They’re just frustrated and stuck in evangelly land because they don’t know what else is out there yet. Amber talked about her parents once from this perspective, and I totally agree with her. Western Christianity (across multiple denominations) is VERY close to another reformation. This one is going to be way bigger than the last was, too.

2023-01-17 14:52:38 +0000 UTCSure, communion in remembrance is scriptural. But it’s a fairly sizable logical leap from the literal words of that verse to the doctrine of transubstantiation, especially the strictly interpreted transubstantiation that was enforced by the church.
Michael Landreth
2023-01-16 18:36:55 +0000 UTCI’m not sure where you’re getting that the Eucharist isn’t scriptural, if anything it’s the one (maybe two including baptism) that are scriptural. “Jesus took the bread, broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying ‘Take and eat, this is my body given for you for the forgiveness of sins, do this in remembrance of me.’ Then he took the cup, blessed it and gave thanks saying ‘This is the blood of the covenant shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sins, do this in remembrance of me.’”

2023-01-16 09:07:21 +0000 UTCGerman Speaker speaking. I care not. And esp. "Mayence" is a traditional name for that astounding metropolis. Better to hear Americans fail than to hear them twist their mouths in some half-French pretension. It always goes wrong. Just speak English and shut the fuck up.

Jesse DeStasio
2023-01-14 14:44:50 +0000 UTCPlease consult a German speaker for some words. It’s honestly confusing at times. Most of it is okay but some are just head scratchers. Pronouncing Eisleben, the birth place of Martin Luther, as “Eizel-ben” is like a German saying Washington and Jefferson were born in “Fee-ir-geen-eya”. And Matt pronouncing the bishopric of Mainz like the US state of Maine. A German speaker would have no idea what you’re talking about - the pronunciation is that off.
Douglas McTague
2023-01-14 12:59:44 +0000 UTCKeep in mind that the steeple to St. Lamberti church from which the cages hang is a neo-gothic construction from the late 19th century. The older steeple was considerably shorter.
Douglas McTague
2023-01-14 11:32:20 +0000 UTCThis is of course an old debate and I think you can make a credible argument that, even though Jesus is saying “this is my body, do this in remembrance of me” etc that he’s not like laying down a specific ritual that his followers are “supposed to do” but more just saying after I’m gone remember what I have done for you.
Alan Fulcher
2023-01-14 06:14:26 +0000 UTCI kind of agree but if Matt went off the cuff on this we would be here all day.
Alan Fulcher
2023-01-14 06:09:55 +0000 UTCThis was great guys, well done. I've struggled with the Hinge Points series unfortunately, but this was a really refreshing style that you both did amazing work on. Can't wait for the next episode.
Jake Nodwell
2023-01-14 03:01:41 +0000 UTCI don't get how the same guy says the Eucharist is not in the Bible (the Podcast of Matthew ~1:05:20) when it's a reenactment of The Last Supper (the Gospel of Matthew 26:17-30).
Of course

2023-01-13 22:26:30 +0000 UTCi wouldn't say it was a Non-GO, it was more of a Parallel Goverment Organization, that ran all the "soft" stuff like education, social cohesion, illness and death as opposed to the "real" government that handled the "hard" stuff like defense, money and infrastructure. Secularization was a very long and difficult process that many places didn't even properly finish

2023-01-13 16:38:04 +0000 UTCLove the writing, the production, and the content! Do recommend slowing down when reading prepared notes - it is harder to follow. Channel your inner Mike Duncan. Spread the words lovingly, like butter on toast; don't chug it all at once.

2023-01-13 14:48:55 +0000 UTCI’m new here (listening since around mid 2022?) and idk if Chris or Matt even read these comments (considering disposition? towards listeners and maybe (idk how patreon works) user power level etc, whatever the fuck) anyway, I’m a new fan blah blah, “you guys make trying to understand politics fun and” blah blah blah, I love you guy, lots of laughs But all I want to say is: I much much much MUCH prefer l the rambling from notes, or whatever makes it feel more natural, e.g. most hinge points, cushvlog, main content episodes It’s hard to listen to when it feels so rigid

2023-01-12 17:12:10 +0000 UTCLuther was NOT even close to being the first “celebrity”. But I get your point anyway.
John Swan
2023-01-12 16:18:27 +0000 UTCOutstanding episode, worth the time invested listening-- so early on when you discussed the fail-son monks feasting and drinking, there weren't just paintings of these dudes. Don't forget that Rabelais, himself at one time a Franciscan monk, in Gargantua and Pantagrel spends lots of time jeering at the monks' fat bellies, their endless pointless debates, corruption and local scandals.

2023-01-12 13:29:29 +0000 UTCThink their distinction was between knowing of someone/hearing public square propaganda about their achievements and the parasocial aspects that came about via readers of ML’s voluminous, personal writings about the soul, ethics, communion, etc being (perhaps) unprecedented at the time. My take away from that bit at least.

Sean Brocklehurst
2023-01-12 12:37:39 +0000 UTClove it but Julius Caesar was on the coins *and* his letters to Rome detailing the conquest of Gaul were published as they arrived, meaning that the average Roman could hear Caesar's thoughts and therefore Caesar was the first celebrity by that metric. Luther was certainly the first celebrity of the *modern* world, but not the first celebrity overall. I loved the episode but couldn't avoid mentioning this in the replies because I'm exactly the kind of pedant who would enjoy this series!

2023-01-11 20:25:10 +0000 UTCThrilling! So good! Had to rewind a couple times when you would be reading some script that was dense and flowery, but nbd. Can't wait for p 2

2023-01-11 20:10:55 +0000 UTCFantastic! Chris, Matt, and co. once again knock it out of the park! I have a feeling I’ll be listening to this series for years.

Evan
2023-01-11 19:46:29 +0000 UTCY'all. Big Julie was the first celeb. You could in fact consume his words directly and specifically because he paid for his reports from the war on the gauls to be read in the forum in real time and while there was no printing there was such a massive scribal class that the infrastructure of verbatim reproduction of ones words and image was not only possible but realized. There is a reason why people still learn Latin by reading ceaser 2000 years later. Y'all trippin.

2023-01-11 19:42:21 +0000 UTCA big thank you to Chris’s Euro teacher for introducing this to him and allowing us to consume this magnificent meat!
Matthew Dunn
2023-01-11 19:38:52 +0000 UTCLove this! Years ago I read 1066, and due to my interest in the subject of middle ages nobility and societal structure, my partners mom gave me a copy of Norman Cantors "Civilization of the Middle Ages". Then I recently went through your catalogue and heard the Chapo episode with Patrick Wyman and I now I'm reading "The Verge". Up next is McNeills "plagues and peoples", and Michael Pyes "Europes Babylon". This series fits perfectly between the time period covered in these works and the really good book I read last year "Empire of Cotton" by Sven Beckert. So stoked y'all! As always thanks for the great work!!

NYCM&AHole
2023-01-11 17:03:42 +0000 UTCSo happy this dropped, boys. I've been stoked for this since the preview dropped and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Hell of Presidents. I always have a soft spot for critical and (rightfully) brutal analysis of American History, especially contemporary history (Post-Nixon onward), so the thought of equally critical and brutal analysis of the birth of capitalism is right for me. I can't wait to listen to this in the afternoon. Love the work you do Chris and Matt! (Also, thank you for not putting this on yet another goddamn subscription service. I'm not getting a Stitcher account, nor will I ever get one, and masked goons with M16s can't make me)

2023-01-11 16:27:05 +0000 UTCWonderful! 10/10, been anticipating this since y'all announced it, and I am very pleased! Just a thought as I'm listening, it is pretty amazing that we all, as humans collectively, recognize we are being screwed by systems, but it takes multiple people spending decades of their lives studying reality to put into words how we are being screwed. All on an idea that some douche canoe came up with in 10 minutes to further their own personal comfort. lol

2023-01-11 15:38:28 +0000 UTCI was wondering how much of a departure from Chapo this would be until Matt dropped "Uncle Magic has the sanction of heaven" Brilliant. Can't wait for the rest of the series
