Podcast 1237: Matthew Fox on The Tao of Thomas Aquinas and Why Trump’s MAGA Movement Embodies the Antichrist Archetype

from Inside Personal Growth with Greg Voisen · host Greg Voisen

In this urgent and illuminating episode of Inside Personal Growth, Greg Voisen is joined by prolific theologian and activist Matthew Fox to discuss two of his boldest works: The Tao of Thomas Aquinas: Fierce Wisdom for Hard Times and Trump and the MAGA Movement as Antichrist. Fox reclaims Aquinas as a mystic and revolutionary whose teachings on compassion, non-dualism, and social justice offer profound guidance in today's chaotic world. At the same time, he warns of the seductive rise of authoritarianism cloaked in religion, framing the MAGA movement as a modern embodiment of the Antichrist archetype. This episode is a spiritual wake-up call, urging listeners to awaken, resist, and return to biophilia — a deep love for life, justice, and the sacred Earth. 🎧 What Listeners Will Learn: -How Thomas Aquinas defied dogma and embraced spirituality, creation, and compassion -Why sins of the spirit are more dangerous than sins of the flesh -How fascism hides behind religious language in today's political movements -Why awakening is the first “resurrection” — and how we can live it now -How to respond to chaos with joy, moral outrage, and spiritual action Our Guest, Matthew Fox: ➥ Book: Trump & the MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election ➥ Buy Now: https://a.co/d/gTKBesT ➥ Book: The Tao of Thomas Aquinas: Fierce Wisdom for Hard Times ➥ Buy Now: https://a.co/d/8fCUUk5 ➥http://www.matthewfox.org ➥http://www.thecosmicmass.com ➥http://www.orderofthesacredearth.org ➥http://www.dailymeditationswithmatthewfox.org ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revdrmatthewfox/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rev.Dr.MatthewFox ➡️Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/RevDrMatthewFox Learn more about your Inside Personal Growth host, Greg Voisen: ➥ https://gregvoisen.com ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidepersonalgrowth/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsidePersonalGrowth/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregvoisen/ ➡️Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/lvoisen/
