Tyrant's Burn Libraries, Right? (Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J.)
About this episode
Fr. Robert McTeigue reflects on the deliberate destruction of the University of Leuven's historic library in World War I as an example of how tyrants attack beauty, truth, memory and identity — and warns that a subtler modern tyranny simply acts as if the past never existed.
