In episode 2, we dissect the idea of Judeo-Christianity. Gabe reacts to a thought-provoking conversation between Jewish conservative, Ben Shapiro, and Catholic bishop, Robert Barron, discussing the fundamental differences between Judaism and Christianity.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Reactionary Christian with Gabriel Finochio, where we'll take on the task of refuting the negative connotations associated with being a reactionary Christian. In the pilot episode, we take a step back from the knee-jerk rejection of the term 'reactionary' and explore how responding and reacting can both be positively directed towards historic Christian orthodoxy. We'll dive into the wisdom of GK Chesterton, discussing his definitions of progress and reaction, and how they apply to our current society. I'll also share my own commitment to standing against the growing trend of secularism and embracing the role of a reactionary Christian.
