This is a great pair of sermons.  

The first one, on Saturday, was an introduction.

The second one, on Sunday, did not presume everyone had heard Saturday's sermon, but for those who had, Sunday's was all the more comprehensible.

Fr. Pfeiffer is trying here to make something that should take a week of hour lectures daily fit into two days.  But he does a very admirable job of it.  He necessarily must leave out a lot of examples and details because there isn't time in just 67:32 for everything he wants to say.  

This can show those who have not studied philosophia perennis a glimpse at what they're missing.  And those who have gone to modern colleges to study modern "philosophy" will come away from this with spiteful, angry accusations and sophomoric questions that nit-pick for "errors" and "self-contradictions," even thought there are none.  This is why anyone who wants to get a grasp on the faith through the Summa and/or through the study of philosophy, should absolutely pay no attention to the modern philosophers such as Kant, Hegel, Hume, Locke, Fichte, Nietzsche, Comte, Dewey, Whitehead, and the rest -- even into J. Maritain or JPII.  You really need a firm foundation in philosophia perennis before you "set foot" into the maelstrom of the moderns, where all reason and order are turned on its head.
