  • Good topics and guests

    It’s hard to find Catholic podcast that are lighthearted, but also explore your intellectual ability. This is one of them. I learned something new every time I listen. It encourages me to think about things I haven’t before. Love it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Broken Altars: Secularist Violence in Modern History w/ Thomas Albert Howard
Q: Is describing national socialism, Soviet communism, Italian fascism and other such isms as secular religions a fair description and why or why not?
It should be approached with caution; it's important to understand historical actors as they saw themselves rather than simply labeling their ideologies as religions because doing so diminishes the seriousness of genuine religious beliefs.
Broken Altars: Secularist Violence in Modern History w/ Thomas Albert Howard
Q: Where did the misconception originate that religion and not secularism has been most culpable for violence perpetuated in the 20th century?
The narrative likely began with 18th century philosophers and the Enlightenment, which viewed earlier religious wars as the essence of violence, but did not account for the far greater violence of secular regimes.
Finding the World's Fullness w/ Robert Cording
Q: What is the significance of the moment when Christ squats down and begins to draw letters or designs in the dirt?
It signifies a pause urging us to look inward before judging others, reminding us of the complexities of life.
Finding the World's Fullness w/ Robert Cording
Q: Why is it important for us to recognize that there is something there that didn't have to be, something there that is brilliantly independent of me?
Recognizing the world as a gift invokes humility and expresses gratitude, allowing us to appreciate its inherent beauty.
The College Beat: Catholicism on College Campuses w/ Caroline Kurt
Q: How did the acute absence of your mom, the suffering that seemed unending, how did it draw you closer to God?
Seeing her die a holy death made me realize God's presence in suffering and solidified my faith.
