It is called 'dumbing down'.

Many people commenting don't understand that Bruce is teaching history, not theology. He is attempting to be fair minded, not injecting his personal opinions into the subject except where he specifically says he is.

This is my second time through the series, this time with my son for homeschool. Thank you, Mr. Gore for your work! Loved the post millennial documentary btw!

Incredible and fantastic storytelling of the history of Joan of Arc. Great job, Bruce!

Great stuff. Loving the series

(Question) How do we know if we are not deluding ourselves? "The eye does not see itself," would say my uncle! Joanne of Arc was not wise in her own eyes. She was self- effaced. Then God is able to do his work through her and God's Glory shines through her. That to me is her testimony. No wonder her life is a head scratcher! ''Lord, if I am not in your, put me there and if I am, keep me there''. When we come face to face with God and see Him as He really is and at the same time see ourselves as we really are, I don't want any surprises.??? If I am in illusion, which means that I wouldn't know that I am, please Lord , visit me with your Holy Spirit, such that I may see myself and every thing outside of me, with Thy own eyes, Protect me ''from thinking myself wise in my own eyes.''

+suzanne guiho For most of us ordinary mortals, we should test what we believe God is saying to us against the Word of God, the community of brothers and sisters in Christ, and conscience. History has a few remarkable examples of those who seem to fly above ordinary means. In the case of those, we must admire with humility.

A great lecture and lecturer.

Love your fair (protestant) exposition. You are not the only one who loves Jehenne, but are correct in calling her worth of respect. The charges changed twice but included - in addition to wearing men's clothes - heresy, sorcery, idolatry, apostasy, leaving the family home. The courth was a properly assembled Church court, with Archbishop Cauchon, a frank and committed friend of the English. I take exception with you Concerning non-Catholic versions and expositions of St. Joan, non are really that good, whether Mark Twain, never Shaw (blowhard rubbish), or many of the modern feminists who claim her as their own. But the true history of St. Joan was baffling to the powers that be at the time, whether French or English. The common people held no doubts about her sanctity and virtue, both as a Christian and as a leader of the people. All this, of course, is covered under: "..And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (KJV - I'll show my ecumenical 'spirit' by not using Douay). Incidentally, the question of grace can be known in the Holy Church, please re-read the theological nuances associated with this matter. In a certain sense, since grace is not something we merit (free will of God) we cannot boast nor affirm our particular issue. However, we can boast in our infirmities and spread the Gospel, we can hope for eternal life, and we do indeed work our our salvation with fear and trembling. We have in my generation a great apostasy at the top, middle and bottom. Regarding scripture, most experts deny a young earth, most have some kind of modified evolution posture, many Catholics have little or no respect for the Sacraments (nothing new to the reformers) but even among reformers, it is considered an extreme position to preach hell, damnation, the role of the Jews, and sola scriptura as being literal and impeccable. Find an Anglican, Presbyterian, a Mega-Church group with a uniform teaching on scri0pture! In the Catholic world, a modest part has a working knowledge of scripture, with some of the worst cases being among the ordained. But Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? BTW, I deeply respect the value and depth of your teaching. Even if there are certain points of controversy, that does not in any way nullify what you teach. In fact, your fairness likely earns you more discredit than your actual work! Cheers three

The Battle of Vienna in 1683 was one of the very last sizable battles with islamic forces. Most people have no idea the overall conflict with islam lasted so long.

This is an interesting comment. It is true, it's not a battle which is well-known. What I know, is that Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, was sending money/support to the Ottoman Empire , as the Germans/Austians/Hungarians/Poles were trying to protect their borders , Louis XIV was attacking the Rhine cities and Netherlands to expand his empire !!! However, we are all familiar with Charles Martel, the Hammer' victory , October 732, between Poitiers and Tours, in France. Numerous historians believes today that there was no more important conflict in all Europe ; and if Martel had failed against Abd- ar Rahman.... no France, no Holy Germanic Empire, no Charlemagne, no Vatican and so on.... Martel victory is as important if not more than Arminius ( Hermann ) against the Romans ! The Muslims called the road between Poitiers and Tours, the path of the Martyrs !

Besides the George Bernard Shaw play, the great Mark Twain wrote the very accessible Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc in 1896. The conceit of the book is that the narrator, not Sam Clemens, tells the story so he first published the book anonymously. Joan’s story so touched him, this is the only biography Twain wrote, writing with all his Mark Twain detail and pathos.

Jeanne d'Arc actually confessed to heresy (while wearing men's clothing) and when confronted to the question (torture) she said that the voices were an invention of her's. She then vow not to wear men's cloth again but she faced sexual violence and took men's clothing again. How did she come by these cloth is a good question. Nonetheless, she was henceforth considered a relapse and was burned at the stake. I am surprised that no mention of Jeanne des Armoises was made here. She was reckonised as Jeanne d'Arc by many of her know assossiate including Gilles de Rais. Some even pretend that she worked as a captain for his garrison. Now, as for the rest, it is entirely possible that Jeanne was groom by Yolande d'Aragon fairly young, which would explain her military aptitude.

This is a very interesting comment ! The men's clothing story doesn't make sense ! The clothing were with Johanne, then removed and then reappears ! We know today, this is certainly a false story, to add drama. It comes from the 18th century. It's not because a woman was wearing men's clothing in a dark dungeon cell, that she would protect herself from rough and determined English soldiers in the middle of the night... especially in chains. Johanne la Pucelle was sentenced to death as an heretic for one reason, only. This false political trial was to discredit Charles VII' coronation at Reims. Since Charles had used the ''help of an heretic'' to obtain the Crown, therefore the English Aristocracy had suddenly a motive to annul, at least trying to annul Charles' coronation ! To deflect the English political attempt, Charles called the Rehabilitation Trial of 1455/56. He was successful using a similar cunning action from the English and with his 117 witnesses where most of them had never known Johanne la Pucelle during her lifetime, he provided a very different image of Johanne. You certainly know that at the beginning of the 15th century, the French word pucelle meant a ''servant''. Yet, by the mid-15th century the meaning would be changed to a virgin. Since the Medieval population believed that the devil or an evil entity had no influence on a young virgin and she would always tell the truth, Johanne couldn't be an heretic. Charles was now safe ! Yolande d'Anjou was the mastermind behind all Johanne' events including Orléans. She paid for all the much needed supplies to stop the English at Orléans. The Scots had already engaged the English on French soil. The Scottish troops are often forgotten and they play a major role during the Hundred Year War in France. Who was Johanne best friend ? It was René d'Anjou, the son of Yolande and he was an expert on Medieval Chivalry and war tactics. He will even write a famous book later in his life about Medieval Chivalry ! The were about the same age. Claude/Jeanne des Armoises ! This is a difficult , complex and complicated story ! Bruce Gore would certainly avoid such a subject, including all the classical historians. Cardinal Tisserant who was able to see the Book of Poitiers ( he was in charge of the Vatican Archives ) said : ah, si les Français connaissaient la vérité, quelle désillusion ! and the famous book disappeared under his watch. He is certainly also responsible for the change at Pulligny Church around the year 1900 to 1909, where Jeanne des Armoises was buried with her husband in full armor, Robert des Armoises. The coffins were removed and most of the inscriptions on the floor and the walls of the church. Jehanne la Pucelle's sainthood process by the Vatican had started in 1879 and the French Church had already given 30 millions francs for the procedure. A priest from the Pulligny church mentioned in the 19th century, that the bones of Jeanne des Armoises and Robert des Armoises were placed in a mass grave behind the Pulligny Church ! Lost forever ! In September 1439, Jeanne des Armoises met Charles VII, with Jean Dunois, Charles d'Anjou, Chaumont, Regnault de Chartres ( which disliked Johanne la Pucelle ) also, a certain Rabateau where Jehanne had lived in Poitier and many others.... and what is odd, they all identified her as Johanne la Pucelle .... and Charles mentioning the famous secret they had shared in 1429. If you read the first authors, from the late 15th and 16th century, most of them mentioned that Johanne la Pucelle was burned only as an ''effigy'' she was in prison for 9 months and was sent later to an area , near Lorraine ! Who is telling the truth ??? your guess would be as good as mine....

Pope Nicholas V issued the papal bull Dum Diversas in 1452. This Bull granted Afonso V of Portugal the right to enslave “Saracens, pagans and any other unbelievers” to hereditary slavery. The Roman Church’s approval of the slave trade was reaffirmed and supplemented by Nicholas V’s Bull, Romanus Pontifex of 1455. These bulls served the justification for the subsequent centuries of slave trade and colonialism. The two countries who first had their hands into the African slave trade were the Roman Catholic Portugal and Spain. Roman Catholic Portugal was the first to start stealing the Negroes with Antonio Gonzalez in 1434 A.D. Gonzalez sold these slaves to Muslims (Prolific African slave traders) in southern Spain. Roman Catholic Spain was the first to become party with the Portuguese in this trade. At the beginning of the 16th century this trade became so large that thousands were taken from Africa annually. When America was discovered in 1492 the Spaniards were the first to colonize it and began to enslave the Native Americans. But they proved too weak to bear up under slave labor. It got so bad that even Roman Catholic clergymen protested it! A stronger slave was needed, and thus the Negro was looked upon as prey. Thus, in 1503 A.D. and 1510 A.D. the Spaniards began the Negro slave trade to the Americas. The History of Slavery and the Slave Trade, by William O. Blake, 94-96.
