  • Like the show, should be longer

    I wish the episodes were longer, hard to listen to 5-10 minute episodes

  • Hello, I rarely comment negatively

    but this calls for it. Find this brainstorming session - on a movie .

    making plan - with bashing comments on all kind of issues - including individuals in the movie industry. Rather inapropriate - out of scope & style of the usual.

    Please consider keep your brainstorming internal.

  • I'm 6 episodes in and so far it's just a cold list of facts and events. It sounds like the narrator is reading a wiki page on the bible. They are often repeating the same things a few times with different words. they are not offering any personal interpretation or point of view. The flat, obsessive tone becomes unpleasant after a while. also there are two minutes of commercials every five minutes of content

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

312. Enduring Light of Fatima
Q: Would you say that the more that one learns about the apparition in regards to Our Lady Fatima and the evidence behind it, would one come to the conclusion that it actually happened or to a more skeptical or agnostic conclusion?
The answer depends on how one weighs the data after learning more; the host probes whether increased knowledge strengthens belief, but the guest explains that the conclusion varies with factors and cautions against assuming more data always equals more conviction, while noting that the data can support Fatima as a genuine private revelation.
310. Mother of the Church
Q: What does it mean for Mary to be the Mother of the Church?
She is uniquely united with Christ and participates in the Church's mission through her faith, obedience, and intercession, serving as a model of grace and motherhood for believers.
306. Sister Lucia
Q: What is the distinction between public and private revelation, and how does that affect belief in Fatima?
Public revelation is binding and found in Scripture and Tradition, while private revelations like Fatima are not required beliefs for Catholics; they are judged by bishops and may be believed or not depending on individual conscience.
306. Sister Lucia
Q: What has the Church had to say about these apparitions?
The Church evaluated the apparitions locally and, in 1930, approved them as worthy of credence, with later popes also treating them as authentic, though belief in private revelations remains non-binding on all Catholics.
E200. Treaty of Tordesillas
Q: What is a papal bull?
A papal bull is an official declaration by the Pope, a serious document in the Middle Ages that carried both temporal and spiritual weight and could compel obedience or excommunication.
