The Katechon

George is back with Virgil for Season 3 of the enchanting, enlightening Boreas Podcast!

The episode was recorded around Christmastime 2023. We discuss the katechon, one of the concluding topics in our new book, The Modern Malaise, available all over the internet February 7th, 2024.

Katechon ("he who restraints / that which restrains") is a term from St. Paul's second letter to Thessalonians and a mysterious concept much discussed over the centuries. We talk about how the katechon may be getting permanently removed by our current culture, which may lead – finally! – to the Apocalypse.
