Customer Reviews
Great Show
I enjoy the show,two thumbs up 👍👍
Goodbye JD and Ed
Great show on Catholic topics. I will miss their canonical expertise, chemistry and integrity. I hope the new editors can live up to these high standards. JD and Ed have a podcast at the pillar Catholic. I will be listening to both.
Filling a need
This podcast proves that there is a desire for serious consideration of Church and Church-related news. The canon law bits are just icing on the cake.
