Polycarp's Paradigm

Anna got deep into Yoga and the the spirituality therein. She even became a Sikh and full practitioner of Kundalini Yoga. In 2019, she gave it all up and became Catholic. Join us as we talk about her journey into New Age spirituality and whether or not Yoga is recommended for Christians.

John DeRosa from "Classical Theism" podcast, joins Pat and I to talk about God's existence. We end up dipping our toes in arguments for Intelligent Design and evolution along with the nature of apologetics.

We are in the wilderness with Christ. How do we connect with God when we cannot experience his tangible grace through the Eucharist?

Join me as I give some practical ways of connecting with God through prayer and Scripture.

Pat and I talk about the mystery of suffering in light of the mystery of the Cross of Christ. We also share our own personal stories about experiencing suffering in our lives. This has been one of our favorite episodes to record. If you have suffered, which all of us have, this is the episode for you.

Global pandemic. How are we to understand the suffering of this world and of our current situation with the coronavirus in light of the Gospel? How was suffering transformed by Christ to have meaning and efficacy for our salvation? How can we now participate in Christ's sufferings by offering him our own?

Pat and I talk with Kevin Symonds, who has written several books including one about the third secret of Fatima. Our Lady, Mother Mary, appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. Later that year, with over 70,000 eye-witnesses, a huge miracle of the sun took place and confirmed for many, the validity of these visions and messages these children received.

Now with over 30k views, the video from Cameron Bertuzzi and Matt Fradd shows them charitably discuss questions many Protestants have about Catholicism. Pat and I wanted to jump in and give our answers to 10 questions their listeners posed to them at the end of the video.

Here is a link to their video:

Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio (a.k.a. Dr. Italy) just came out with a video series through Ascension Press called "Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life" that was filmed onsite in the Holy Land. Join me as I interview Dr. Italy about his experience "behind the scenes".

Recently, Cameron Bertuzzi from the YouTube channel, Capturing Christianity, had a conversation with Matt Fradd, from "Pints with Aquinas", about Cameron's objections to the Catholic Faith coming from the vantage point of an Evangelical Protestant. Pat Flynn and I thought it'd be fun to discuss his questions with you own answers in this installment of our PolyPat sessions. Since I used to be an Evangelical Protestant, Pat gives me the floor for most of this episode.
