  • Liberal

    Some good stuff, but undermined by some anti-liberal, anti-feminist rant. The best of Catholic culture around the world is more open-minded than that. There can be wisdom and ignorance, truth and lies, on all sides.

  • Thoughtful and meaningful

    I stumbled upon this podcast, and it is such a wonderful show. I am not a catholic and yet I still take away a lot of meaning and wisdom from the conversations happening here. Thank you Thomas!

    I recommend the Dana Gioia poetry episode!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Most Dangerous Man in England: Newman and the Laity - Paul Shrimpton
Q: What was the actual ceremony like when Newman was declared Doctor of the Church?
It was a solemn event filled with a large congregation, including cardinals and bishops, marked by a papal mass celebrating the declaration amidst a week of educational jubilee events.
Highlights: America's medieval roots; Rock band with 3 Orthodox priests; Are heist movies moral?
Q: What is the significance of the song 'The Majesty of the Flesh'?
It's about the struggle to save the body and understand its connection to spirituality, reflecting on how ascetic practices relate to this understanding.
Highlights: America's medieval roots; Rock band with 3 Orthodox priests; Are heist movies moral?
Q: Can we talk about the Coronation Charter and Magna Carta and the principles involved?
These charters reflect the historical acknowledgment of the sovereignty of the church and the early recognition of rights against tyranny, setting a precedent for later constitutional principles.
The Church and the Jews: Recovering Tradition, w/ Gideon Lazar
Q: Would you add anything else to that very meta framing of where this issue sits in our current struggle to reclaim the whole of our Catholic tradition?
I think the first, as you mentioned, those political questions are important, but I think it's important to distinguish the political and theological questions.
Sister of heroic Vietnamese Cardinal imprisoned by Communists tells his story
Q: So what should we know about his later life after he left prison?
He was appointed Vice President and then President of Justice and Peace, helping to revise the Social Doctrine of the Church, but he contracted cancer and passed away in 2002.
