The Ten Thousand Places Podcast

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”

How Did Vatican I (and The Monkees) Lead to Vatican II?

January 02, 2023 • OSV Podcasts

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
