Reviews
- Go further with Doug Pagett
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation but Doug but you should do a bit more research on the Catholic Church’s stance on abortion. Prior to 1869 Catholic teaching was that abortion prior to “ensoulment “ (at quickening) was not a homicide. And Catholics for Choice was formed in 1973. So the Church’s views evolved and there are deep divisions among Catholics.

I loved Chris’s show with Doug Pagitt. I’m not a Christian, but I so appreciated Mr Pagitt’s worldview which really is the best of Christianity. And your show made a difference. I never heard of his work before, but I felt moved to donate some money to his cause. Thank you for giving him a platform to disseminate his worldview of kindness, which even atheists like me share.

Interesting, but why use “sort of” dozens of times during a single episode? Its nauseating the overuse of unnecessary and incessant “sort ofs” in almost every sentence. Why?
Apple Podcasts3AmiFidelUnited States2 months ago - Thank you
I was listening to your coverage of Super Tuesday and you corrected Rachel Maddow that not going to college doesn’t mean that you’re poorly educated. My daughter went to private Catholic schools, including a college prep school. She was not “poorly educated” because she didn’t finish college. College was not a fit for her, but she is more well read than a lot of college graduates. Thank you for correcting the impression that because you didn’t graduate from college means you are poorly educated.... more
