I was interviewed this week for Deacon Doug McManaman’s new show, Podcasts for the Religious. It was a lot of fun to see Deacon Doug again. Aside from his great diaconal work, Doug taught philosophy to high school students for many years (no easy task, that), and has written extensively on Catholic education. On the show, we talked about all sorts of things surrounding Advent — how the Dead Sea Scrolls prove that Jesus indeed claimed to be the Messiah, the surprisingly deep meaning of the opening verse of Mark’s Gospel, and even a fun (although perhaps apocryphal) story about Queen Victoria! You can check out the full episode here, or subscribe (as you really should) to Deacon Doug’s show on Apple Podcasts, or wherever fine podcasts are downloaded!
