About this episode

The episode discusses the relationship between the state and church through the lens of Emperor Theodosius and Ambrose of Milan.

Spent the first half of the show on other topics, including some RV stuff, and then talked a bit about Cardinal Bellarmine and forms of argumentation, but the main topic today was Emperor Theodosius, the proclamation of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire, and the incident between he and Ambrose of Milan regarding the massacre at Thessaloniki.
