Tyler and Rory discuss the pivotal dialogue between Pope Benedict XVI (then Cardinal Ratzinger) and Frankfurt alumni and philosopher of the European Union, Jurgen Habermas, on the future of Europe and the World. With the orienting discussion of "the pre-political foundations of the moral state" the two representatives of the religious and secular worldviews discuss the problem of plurality in global order, the failure of liberal democracy to accommodate anything other than the secular, the cultural imperialism of western rationality, the pathologies of reason and religion, and the need for bonds of social solidarity to navigate intercultural tension between the secular and the religious.
