Brownstone Institute is very pleased to announce the inaugural meeting of the Pittsburgh Supper Club. Fr. John Naugle will be the guest speaker and will talk about: “The Cult of COVID: How Hysteria Scrambled Politics”. 

How did Republicans become in favor of the radical expansion of government?
How did Democrats become in favor of preventing laborers from going to work?
How did Libertarians become haters of liberty?

Join us as Father Naugle discusses the COVID hysteria as a religious phenomenon that cut across political ideologies, and how the ability to resist this hysteria has formed new coalitions which defy prior political categories.

Father Naugle was early in his opposition to lockdowns, with his first published piece appearing on Rorate Caeli in April 2020. 

He has been an author and occasional panelist for the Brownstone Institute since September 2022. His focus has been both the spiritual harms of our COVID response, as well as the material harms which have befallen the working class.
