One sided glorification of jd Vance’s ignorant speech. He met the leader of the AFD an organisation that wants closer ties with Russia.
Maybe present a balance view? As many many catholics I know were appalled at his speech.
Wonderful podcast on current issues affecting the Church and Western culture. Intelligent without being arrogant and very accessible to the thoughtful listener. Dr Ashenden is an excellent interviewer and well-versed in so many issues in his own right. He conveys warmth, friendliness and genuine interest, all without rambling. I am so grateful to have found this fantastic resource!
As a Protestant Christian my entire life with a newfound interest in Catholicism, and an even bigger interest in understanding truth, I’m thrilled to find this podcast. Thank you, thank you.
Occasionally an interesting interview. Still a Protestant no matter what he says.
Thank you for your articulate voice of reason, and for your powerful testimony.
