In this episode we\u2019ll take a look at Western Culture, it\u2019s origins, achievements, decline, the objections against it and why it\u2019s important and worth saving. In this episode we mentioned the sin of pride and what St. Aquinas  said about love. For love of country, see what Chesterton's said in Othodoxy, especially in the chapter  &quot;Flag of the World&quot;.  You can learn more about the Aztecs from the following sources:  History.com, Encyclopedia Britannica, Ancient.eu (1),  Ancient.eu (2) and  anthropology.msu.edu and about the Incas here, and Native Americans  here.
