  • Really disappointing. Don’t waste your time

    This is both poorly written and vapid. What a waste of time to have listened to a rambling, pointless, and offensive episode. Leave your uniformed comments about California in private.

  • My Podcast Addiction

    Charles and Vincent entertain, inform, and spread the Catholic faith with the joy that should be ours if we really believe in it. They do not candy-coat the bad stuff that is happening in the world, but neither do they catastrophize. Theirs is a balanced Catholic view of the world with lots of passion, insights and laughs. I look forward to each new episode, and I love to listen to previous episodes during my daily commute.

Livestream!
Q: What are your thoughts on Arthurian Republicanism?
Arthurian Republicanism is the idea that you can have a Catholic medieval-inspired Republic today, but it doesn't really exist.
Time Slip
Q: Is there any advice Charles could give for those who want to serve God and the church in the public sphere, despite the obvious challenges?

Iran

Iran
Q: If you're a betting man, what do you think Iran is going to do?
I would think if I were them, a lot would depend on whether I could get my allies to back me up. If I couldn't, then I'd close the Straits of Hormuz and see what happened.
