Stay ConnectedIn the midst of our civilizational crisis, Eternal Christendom exists to cultivate a new generation of Saints, Sages, and Statesmen through the Great Tradition.
Whether you’re a lifelong Catholic looking for a deeper understanding of your faith, or a non-Catholic curious about the Catholic Church, Eternal Christendom aims to make the case for the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Catholic Faith.
For non-Catholics, we challenge to invite. For Catholics, we teach to unite.

In this episode, we interview Dr. David Anders, who played a profound role in Joshua Charles's conversion. After attending the famed evangelical Wheaton College, and pursuing a doctorate in order to disprove the Catholic Faith, he came out Catholic. The reason: he saw that the "Reformation" was not recovering ancient Christianity, but radically departing from it.

In this Eucharist Snapshot, we cover an ancient bishop's vision of worthy and unworthy souls receiving the Eucharist, one radiant with heavenly splendor, the other grotesque, ghastly and hellish. In short, he saw the reality of Catholic truth when it comes to how we receive the Eucharist, which is Christ's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
