  • Liberal

    Some good stuff, but undermined by some anti-liberal, anti-feminist rant. The best of Catholic culture around the world is more open-minded than that. There can be wisdom and ignorance, truth and lies, on all sides.

  • Thoughtful and meaningful

    I stumbled upon this podcast, and it is such a wonderful show. I am not a catholic and yet I still take away a lot of meaning and wisdom from the conversations happening here. Thank you Thomas!

    I recommend the Dana Gioia poetry episode!
