  • Thought-provoking and spiritually enriching podcast

    Heard about this podcast while listening to Fr. Gregory Pine read and analyze St. Augustine’s Confessions on the Catholic Classics podcast. Have listened to a few episodes of Godsplaining thus far and found them to be intellectually and spiritually stimulating as well as interesting and entertaining. Just pre-ordered Fr. Pine’s book, Training the Tongue, which he discusses in the most recent episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Finding Christ in the Loneliness of Insomnia w/ Deacon Charlie Echeverry
Q: How did your wife's conversion influence your own faith journey and ministry?
Her mystical encounter with Jesus and transformation from a culturally Catholic background prompted the speaker to engage more deeply, educate himself, and pursue active ministry and evangelization.
Finding Christ in the Loneliness of Insomnia w/ Deacon Charlie Echeverry
Q: Could you tell us a little more about how your insomnia became a catalyst for your vocational discernment?
Insomnia forced a confrontation with the illusion of self-sufficiency; in the surrender, the speaker realized he must orbit God, which clarified his sense of vocation toward the diaconate and mission.
Are today's Catholic priests liberal or conservative? w/ Stephen White
Q: What are the main pastoral priorities identified in the latest data, and how do they differ across generations?
Top priorities are marriage and family, youth, evangelization, and care for the poor, with differences across generations: younger priests show more interest in Eucharistic devotion and less in issues like synodality or ecology, while older priests rate those as higher priorities.
Are today's Catholic priests liberal or conservative? w/ Stephen White
Q: How has the shift in priests' viewpoints affected what they want to do for the church and what people hear from them?
The shift shows priests increasingly prioritizing family, evangelization, and care for the poor, while younger cohorts lean theologically conservative; this reframes how parishes engage with congregations and what pastoral voices emphasize in ministry.
Are today's Catholic priests liberal or conservative? w/ Stephen White
Q: Can you tell us a little about the Catholic Project and the kind of research you've been doing?
The Catholic Project studies how priests relate to bishops, seminarians, and parish life, using longitudinal surveys to track changes since prior work and to inform formation and policy decisions within the church.
