The Catholic Current: Bringing Christ to the World and the World to Christ
The Station of the Cross Catholic Radio
The Catholic Current podcast, hosted by the intelligent and orthodox Jesuit priest Fr. Robert McTeigue, is an absolute must-listen. I was first impressed by the caliber of his guests and his fantastic interviewing skills. Fr. McTeigue asks smart questions that delve into a wide range of topics, making this show more than just a theology program. It covers the issues of the day through the lens of faith, offering a unique perspective on politics and religion. The show features top-level guests and focuses on in-depth conversations rather than short sound bites.
One of the best aspects of The Catholic Current is its diversity of topics and guests. Fr. McTeigue addresses timely matters of faith while inviting wonderful guests who bring their expertise to each episode. This variety allows for engaging conversations that are relevant to listeners' lives. Additionally, the show's combination of politics and religion makes it stand out from other theology podcasts, providing listeners with a well-rounded understanding of current events.
As for drawbacks, it is surprising that this podcast isn't syndicated across the country given its high quality and informative content. The Catholic Current deserves a wider audience beyond its local radio station in Rochester or downloads from loyal listeners like myself.
In conclusion, I highly recommend The Catholic Current podcast to anyone seeking insightful discussions about faith and reason in today's world. Fr. Robert McTeigue's calm demeanor, knowledge, and prayerfulness make him an excellent host who guides listeners through complex topics with clarity. This podcast serves as a reliable touchstone of sanity, wit, and wisdom that nourishes the Catholic soul. Whether you're looking for guidance on contemporary issues or simply want to deepen your understanding of the beautiful relationship between faith and reason, The Catholic Current is a valuable resource worth exploring.
