Bob Tursnsky? He taught at seven hills, the private school for the liberal blue bloods of Cincinnati. Different guy?

I’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.

They 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.

The 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.

It’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
