The various topics and guests keeps me engaged and continuing to listen. The sound quality is also excellent which helps those of us with listening challenges. Thank you to all participate in the production of each episode.
The guests and interviews on this show are consistently top notch. The podcast brings a Catholic perspective to current events and to cultural commentary, but never devolves into being preachy or simplistic. If you love the print magazine, as I do, the podcast is a perfect complement … and if you like the podcast, but haven’t read the magazine yet, I encourage you to check out their century of excellent Catholic journalism and commentary.

Excellent episodes, poignant and timely, I’ve discovered great authors, thoughtful discussions, and fascinating topics newly discovered. Each podcast is Christ-centered and in a way all-embracing and welcoming. It’s sad that I need to add that this is Catholicism which does not exclude anyone. Please rate! Boost this positive, wholesome podcast; there’s plenty of smut out there getting rave reviews!
Rita Ferrone, with her habitual cogency, cuts through the noise and sifts the historical and theological significance of Traditionis Custodes. While the sensationalism surrounding this papal teaching is present mostly in the United States, the ecclesiastical implications are universal. In a world awash with attention-eating soundbites, it’s refreshing to hear admirably articulate speech taking on serious issues seriously.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
