Episode 2: Catalyst for Le Nouvel Esprit
In this episode we go into more detail as to the main catalyst for Le Nouvel Esprit! We explain how the idea for LNE was born as a method of apologetics namely against radical traditionalism.
The idea was sparked firstly by Jeremy in his discussions with his friends who were rad trads, and how their points of view ultimately dissented from the Catholic Church, though they claim the opposite to be true, and that they are the true Catholics, adherents to the "Remnant Church." Guillermo, on the other hand, shares his experience with this right-wing dissent from the Church, by being introduced by Jeremy to a rad trad website and their Facebook page, in which Guillermo witnessed firsthand their alt-right paradigm.
Join us as we journey through a brief history of radical traditionalism's godfather organization, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and as we comment on the logic behind their worldview.

Episode 3: Introduction to Personalism
Welcome to the third episode of the Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast! Join us as we introduce the topic of personalism!
We share about its origins and about its necessity in this day and age, when mainstream culture's view of the human person is drastically far from what God intended it to be. This distortion comes from both the extreme left and the extreme right. Personalism is a defense of the human person against "-isms".
This philosophy, of which many of its thinkers are Christians, proves that we are all made in the image and likeness of God, and that God provides ways that we can realize this truth through faith and reason.

Episode 5: What is Education?
What is education? This is the question that we address in this new episode of the Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast, especially in light of the necessary I and thou relationship between teachers and students. This is in opposition of the industrial model, composed of an I and it relationship instead of I and thou, and resulting in propaganda. Sadly, this is what we see today. Join us as we delve into this realm and propose various ideas of where to go from here, as well as shedding light on beacons of hope.

Episode 8: On Faith and Reason
Do faith and reason contradict each other? The Catholic Church proudly proclaims that the opposite is true, that there is a relationship between the two. Join us as we delve into this topic especially with reference to the First Vatican Council during which, historically, the Catholic Church weathered a cultural storm in which the zeitgeist gradually came to idolize reason and the being capable of reason: man.

Episode 12: Acoustic Guitars at Mass? What Young People Really Want in the Church
What do young people want from the Church? Is it for the Church to "get with the times?" If yes, how so? And is there a line? If yes, where? And if yes, why?
Join us as we address these pressing issues for Catholics, especially among those who are directly involved in their church communities. These questions revolve not exclusively on the liturgy, but on parish communities and ministries, and on the way of life of Catholics as a whole.
