About Classical Theism Podcast

The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. Thanks for listening!

Ep. #289 - Thinking Critically about IVF w/ Stephanie Gray Connors

Stephanie Gray Connors discusses the Catholic case against the practice of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in great detail. She engages with many common objections, including: * Embryos are not plausibly persons so IVF is fine. * Isn't the Church pro-life so shouldn't they want more babies? * If a building was on fire, would you save a 2-month old child or a shopping cart full of embryos? ---------------- The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
