This is Part 2 of the discussion between Sarah de Nordwall and her guest Robert Cassidy on the remarkable 1907 novel “Lord of the World” by Robert Hugh Benson which explores the principles at work in a society that produces the “strange fruit” of state sanctioned euthanasia.

None of the themes that Benson explored are lacking in relevance today - the role of the Pope in world affairs, the effects of communism, freemasonry and the insidious and then explicit worship of man as God. All are convincingly worked through in the novel, as is the extraordinary power of the Hidden Christ and the role of personal and liturgical prayer.

This is part of our mini-series on euthanasia in film, novel and drama: helping people imagine the out-workings of government-assisted dying in order to oppose the Leadbetter Bill.
