Joseph Pearce's enthusiasm for the Catholic faith, and some of the great writers who incarnate it for us, is contagious. I was fortunate enough to hear him speak early on in my faith journey and I have no doubt that he helped plant those seeds much deeper so that they would persevere. It was a joy to speak with him about great authors such as C.S. Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien, and G.K. Chesterton. We discussed literature, culture, art, and the liturgy.
