The Roman Forum, whose Director is Dr John Rao, is a renowned Catholic historian. I have listened with profit to several of his lectures while driving round the M25 to Wonersh or Parkminster. The website informs us that[The Roman Forum] was founded in 1968 in the wake of Humanae vitae by the great philosopher, Professor Dietrich von Hildebrand (1889-1977), whom Pope Pius XII called “the twentieth century Doctor of the Church”.It is dedicated to a systematic teaching of the True, the Good and the Beautiful and promotes the revival of Christian culture, defending "the one force that can pull all of the aspects of nature and the supernatural together", namely Catholicism.
This July The Roman Forum is holding a Symposium in Italy (on the Gardone Riviera) on the subject "The Politics of Faith and Reason? Or the Triumph of the Will?". HLI, the Remnant, Inside the Vatican and the FSSP are all represented. There is sung Mass every day in the usus antiquior.

I'm curious - are some of John Rao's lectures available as podcasts - or some such thing? I'd love to be pointed to a link, if they are. He's done a lovely job of growing that group and its summer symposium. The participation from various groups has really taken off this year.
Iosephus - oh yes! Keep the Faith Catholic audio downloads.
I listened to some of the sample audio files there: the quality is not very encouraging. I guess you've found the audio quality to be tolerable?
Iosephus - the talks are often recorded by various bits of equipment that happened to be there so the sound quality is not "professional". But I found that they were all Ok to listen to.
