23 Machiavelli Part 3
Episode description
Machiavelli advocates for an evil ethical system, yet wrote Christian devotional literature, received the last rites, and is buried in a basilica. Was he a genuine Catholic or a hypocrite? In this episode, Schoolman Fawcett shares his opinion about Machiavelli's religious beliefs with Scholarch McLarney. They also discuss whether his recommendations for politics--and life--actually "work."
Dr. Gerard McLarney and Mr. Brett Fawcett are teachers at St. Isidore ONLINE Chesterton Academy in Sherwood Park, AB Canada.
