The interviewer tried but appeared to be intimidated by Hichens. Often, AMERICANS 🇺🇸 are not sure how to handle the Brits, and they come across as a little sheepish and bleep nervously about their own doings, forgetting the guest. Much like this bloke did. G'day, now from Australia 🇦🇺
The interviewer missed the most obvious question, that I'm sure most of the audience wanted to hear: "How much of a factor did your religiosity play in the somewhat hostile relations between you and your brother?"
After watching this, I immediately became so saddened being reminded that Christopher Hitchens is gone. I hold nothing against Peter Hitchens, who looks so much alike now, but the reason for their rivalvry seems very obvious. Peter must’ve always been smart. Christopher was a kind of genius; of course they dispised each other!! - The moderator is badly prepared, not aware of the meaning of Hitchens nor Freud nor aware of himself. Hard to watch. Christopher Hitchens is famous in Europe and Australia as well, btw. ✌🏻🇦🇺🇩🇪🇺🇸
Thank God Holy Orthodoxy doesn't have a dictator Patriarch, St Gregory the great asserted Christ alone is the center of the Orthodox Church. The new age Roman Catholic protestant church still protests
I understand where he’s coming from in that there are far too many lukewarm Catholics, and Christ Himself says He will spew out those who are lukewarm, but we shouldn’t be inaccessible. After all, Christ also commanded His disciples to go out and make disciples of all nations. Rather than a fortress mentality, we need a new missionary zeal like the one the Apostles had after the descent of the Holy Spirit, and they went and preached in the streets without fear. This is what the Second Vatican Council intended for the Church, to go on the offensive as it were in a world that is so hostile to religion and is plagued by rampant secularism and militant atheism.
HOLY SHIT, this pope is a gangsta! I was shocked when he said "bullshit" and was not even the wildest thing. Thought he would be just a conservative guy but he's REALLY old school of you know what i mean. "Fight a war with poverty" was one of sickest things ive heard and never thought, it's reality in a nutshell, poverty just cripples resistance.
This man is an awful interviewer. Pretentious, drab, facile, and frankly pointless. Embarrassing. Hitchens is not someone who deserves this level of sycophantic praise. Both Peter and Christopher are/were exceptional thinkers, but, on balance, they are/were capable of extreme narrow-mindedness and snobbery. The issue with the US is it thinks that Jon Stewart is an intellectual. Every British accent must mesmerise them into stupification.
He thinks his intelligence gives credence to his intentionally divergent views from his brother. It does not. Not unless he has evidence that no other human can provide to substantiate his belief in obvious myths.
I’ve seen a couple of young pope shorts, and all of the comments are from right wingers 😂 you guys haven’t watched the show huh? It’s like They Boys all over again.
The wig saw some blurb somewhere about the Viennese witch doctor and only just now clicked he is a Nabokovian. A bonding and vindicating moment for Hitchens I'm guessing.
_Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it._
@@GustavoSilva-ny8jc As if you have historical evidence that a Pope from the 16th century spoke this way, without any audio recording of what they said. Fantasy
"lefty"? how did you come to that conclusion? If you think Pius XIII is right then the end of the series will disappoint you and your REICH WING fantasies
Patton and Eisenhower were great generals, but who can name the chief of staff of the American Army? It does not speak bad of someone who is in obscurity. (I think you are criticising the Papacy, if that isn’t the case my apologies.)
Peter Hitches can’t hold a candlestick to his late brother Christopher Hitches! Christopher was better in every way, better writer, better speaker, better debater, and better at humor than his brother Peter!
A tiny bit of research from the interviewer or his “team” would have known why the Hitch left permanently for the 🇺🇸, you can put in ☝️ word Libel. He would have been sued every day in 🏴 because of our ridiculous libel laws or religious ‘hate crime” whereas 🇺🇸 does actually posses freedom of speech 🎤
Metaxas needs an interview coach. He is a bit too precious in how he plays to the camera. His endless interruptions are rude and self-serving. He is an avowed Christian; which does not give him the right to be ill-mannered. He should pray for some humility. Nothing worse than a Christian narcissist.
The short answer "NO!" was a hint so the interviewer stopped talking so much. He didn't get it. There's more. With the intent to praise his voice (Hitchens) and the similarities to his brother, the interviewer took soooooo long to come the question part that he almost stoll our change to hear it. Get to the point!
