I really enjoy this podcast and always come away knowing more than beforehand. Particularly enjoyed the Council discussion and always enjoy Pat May’s contributions.
Dr Boyce shares valuable insight and expertise and has shared much valuable knowledge about the Church Fathers and the scripture that I’m very grateful for!
I don’t always agree, but I’m always at least intrigued. Stephen does a wonderful job.
This was wonderful. I’m a convert to the Catholic Church and I think these men are going to bring so many people back to the Catholic Church, even though they’re not Catholic. After reading the Bible through 65 times, I had to become a Catholic. I had a Baptist preacher father and things never seemed right when we discussed theology. These podcasts are wonderful.
Stephen does a great deep dive into this stuff
