Please, before viewing this lecture, review the last in the installment here.

Thank You.

Now, after a sabbatical it’s back to the friendly environs of Prof Weber’s lecture hall for The Western Tradition. Again I remind the readers: Weber’s main focus as an historian is France. This is his specialty and this lecture is a fine delineation between ideals and mores in Colonial America and Revolutionary side by side in a doctrinal framework. I urge you to pay very close attention to this and the previous lecture. They are timeless and pertinent. Now France’s revolution goes from Democracy to dictatorship.

And now, Prof Weber on Yinztube!

Prof Eugen Weber describes the Catholics versus the Protestants,in the age of the Reformation

This ends when the  interests of the State trump the  interest of Faith; In my opinion, this is one of Prof Weber’s finest lectures. Please watch it with attention.

 

29. The Wars of Religion
For more than a century, the quarrels of Protestants and Catholics tore Europe apart.
