Description
Where do we go? What will we find? Hopefully, Jesus.... Join a former atheist, a former Protestant, and a cradle Catholic on a search to find Christ at play in ten thousand places. From metaphysics to Johnny Cash, He-Man to hermeneutics, how do Christian Catholics view the world differently and why does it matter? Take a deep dive into Catholicism and culture with friends Lewis Pearson, the philosopher, Alex Giltner, the theologian, and Justin Aquila, the parish pastoral minister. “[F]or Christ plays in ten thousand places, Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his To the Father through the features of men's faces.” – Gerard Manly Hopkins, SJ, “As Kingfishers Catch Fire”

We know you’re sad. We are too. But all things must come to an end. We’ve had a great time making this podcast, and who knows? Maybe we’ll return someday in the future. In the meantime, I suppose you could say we definitely went out with style. Join the boys one last time (maybe). Want to suggest an episode topic? Contribute financially to the podcast?

Lego? Toys? Clothes? From the dawn of human history, we see an impetus in people to collect. Why? Is there a deeper meaning to the urge to collect? Is it an urge from God?

If the Bible comes out of Church history and Tradition, how can it stand alone as a thing with its own authority? Or does that question itself illustrate a fundamental misunderstanding? In this episode the guys review the Vatican II document Dei Verbum, helping us to rightly grasp the nature of the relationship between the Bible and Tradition. #RobertPlantAndSteveIrwinOnVatican2 Want to suggest an episode topic?

What is an ecumenical council? Was Vatican II an ecumenical council? And do you even read, bro? If you don’t, you can at least listen to this episode for a clue before weighing in about the Bible or Vatican II! #YouRapThemAnathemasBaby Links or other pertinent information: Want to suggest an episode topic?

Do you believe in ghosts?! We do. The boys talk about ghosts and where they fit into Church Teachings. Plus, other aspects of the occult. We get a bit into demons, but then it gets too spooky. Bonus: we dump on the materialists and the faux-occultism of the modern age. Definitions for terms and references in this episode: Ghosties: the things that might get you when you’re going up the basement stairs. Generally speaking, deceased persons. Distinct from demons. Theosophy: a syncretistic relig...
This episode has a lot of French words and names in it! After listening, impress your friends with your newfound mastery of terms like “Ressourcement” and “Nouvelle théologie.” Accurately invoke names like de Lubac and Garrigou-Lagrange, and people will immediately defer to your pronouncements about the French origins of Vatican II. #AllMyHistoryIsFromTheGodfatherMovies Definitions for terms and references in this episode: 6:18 historicism (as a heresy): The heresy that the ...
Sick of talking about the Matrix? We’re not! In this episode, the boys discuss the philosophical influences of the Matrix, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, and how its metaphysical failures can be remedied by good Platonic philosophy and Christian theology. Episode Glossary and References: Plato – A Greek philosopher active four centuries before Christ. A student of Socrates, he is the main source of what we know about Socrates and his philosophy. Along with his own student, Aristotle, he ...
The boys take a (surely much-appreciated) break from Vatican II to talk about – you guessed it! – the Matrix. Listeners may wonder what took us so long to address the science fiction juggernaut, and with good reason. Oh yeah, and we also talk about how will, choice, and providence all cohere with God’s will in what he approves or permits, and how this acts as one answer to the problem of evil. Obviously. Episode Glossary and References: Providence – God’s passive and active agency in bringing...
The guys finally make it to Vatican I on their trek through the origins of Vatican II. We find out how something called “ultra-montanism” led to Vatican I, as well as how allegorical reflections on the 1960s pop band The Monkees are surprisingly (even if anachronistically) pertinent to some historical features of Vatican I and Vatican II. #NeilDiamondGhostWriterForVatican2 Links or other pertinent information: Want to suggest an episode topic?

On the road to Vatican II, this time our show hosts ask, what’s wrong with Neo-Thomism, and what have been some of the long-term effects of attempting to put all the Church’s philosophical and theological eggs in that single basket for the last century and a half? The guys also discuss how the need to balance reason and revelation led to Vatican I, which was the prequel to Vatican II. Want to suggest an episode topic? Contribute financially to the podcast?
