I met Minh Ho at a Christian Meetup group about two years ago. At first I had no idea he was Catholic, but I have been enjoying getting to know him and discovering his unique approach to Bible Study, particularly as concerns the Torah, or the first five books of the Old Testament.

I met Athena through her boyfriend, my friend Russell whom I also interviewed that same evening at their apartment in Montreal. She was raised culturally Jewish but has been doing Yoga since she was about ten years old. We mostly talked about sex and morality and life and death.

I have been friends with Russell for about a decade now. He is a sweet guy, and one of the few friends with whom I can discuss almost anything--even religion. In this chat we discuss, sex, death, free-will, and the first-cause proof of God's existence.

I met Christopher on his YouTube channel. He is a fine young man who served 4 years in Korea and was raised in a Catholic military family. Chris started the "Task Force 75" project to aid Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria in 2017.

I was pleasantly surprised when Stephen Heiner agreed to come back and record part 2. I am more "novus ordo" than ever, having read the documents of Vatican II, but he still doesn't understand my perspective. I enjoyed our lively chat nonetheless, and hope to have him back again next year.

In this Meta episode I discuss the history of the 21 ecumenical councils, and the heresies and schisms that accompany these most sacred councils.

This Meta episode takes you behind the curtain of my mind, into the realm of ideas that fuel my quest for truth and understanding. I discuss three faculties of the human soul: Doubt, Faith, and Reason, and the imbalanced worldviews that result if we neglect one or more of these.

This is my first CVS Meta episode, in which I talk about the podcast on an administrative or observational level. In this episode I wanted to read my disclaimer and a small blurb about the Church. I also share my recent decision to allow non-dissident Catholics onto my Catholic vs. Catholic segment. There is also a brief discussion of the Perpetual Masses in which I enroll each of my guests, and about which I am very excited.

Seth reached out to me on Facebook because he heard my call-in to the Atheist Experience. Seth is my first explicitly faithful Catholic guest. He's only 23 years old and was home-schooled in an orthodox Catholic family in Ohio. I enjoyed our pleasant but brief chat.
