- Conversational and so helpful!
Dr. Greg’s pod is fantastic for any Catholic (or Christian, really) who may be struggling in any area of their life- and who isn’t? The tone is conversational and approachable while being deeply informative for the general public. Highly recommended!

Also there seems to some mixture of superstition in his use of incense to clear the air. It is commonly used in New Age this w... more
