Cutting The Gordian Knot

Trent and I discuss what is wrong with Socialism and Distributism, what is right with the Free-Markets and Why Catholics ought to care. Also, we present some ideas that would make the world a better place.

Paul’s recent article compares various hermeneutics and suggests a path for understanding Church doctrinal development. We discuss capital punishment as an example.

There was so much to address in a listener email that I decided to do an entire episode on topics that were brought up. Feel free to email me at thegordianknot101@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments, or hate mail you would like to send me.

This is aimed primarily at our protestant brothers and sisters. Email me if you’re interested in a top 10 reasons for theism episode. If I get 3 emails, I will do that one too.

This episode is exactly what it says on the tin. I cover these three topics. Additionally, give a little bit more detail about why this podcast is named what it is and why I cover the topics that I do.

Jacob and I have many economic disagreements, but here we seek to find some common ground and understand each other’s perspectives.

We cover a broad range of topics. In addition to the regular interview, you get to hear Pat and I continue to converse after the episode.

We talk about Marx, Hegel, Gnosticism and other roots of transgender ideology.

I think universal healthcare is a terrible idea. I propose some much better ideas instead.

I have more exciting guests coming on the podcast! Mailbag questions include baking tips, drinking wine, the monarchy, and marine tube worms.

I debate a vicious and snarling Interlocutor…..Myself. I hope you keep an open mind and learn more about both sides of the debate. Email me if you think you could add good points to either side at thegordianknot101@gmail.com

In this episode we discuss different ways of determining whether or not testimonial evidence should be relied upon. We comment on the Trent Horn versus Matt Dillahunty debate and answer questions about whether soccer is communist, whether our excess should be given to the poor, And even whether or not to put a wing on your Honda Civic

We answer a ton of questions from Reddit covering everything from Mary to Saint Patrick, Satan to Judaism and more.

We defend the importance of Reason against Christians that denigrate it, bust some myths, and answer some questions.

We talk a little bit about Faith and we open the Mailbag to answer questions about Oreos, what gender is better a driving, interior decorating tips and more.

Reading from an article on my site that was originally a letter to my non-Catholic grandmother explaining doctrines of Mary from a scriptural perspective; this should be a great overview particularly for protestants on what Catholics believe and why. And just in time for Christmas!

We talk about how removing the government monopolies in healthcare will make patients better off. We also answer some of your questions and comments pertaining to the recent interview episode with Paul Fahey. Of course, the mail bag is opened at the end of the episode.

Paul Fahey is the co-founder of “Where Peter is”, He is a speaker, retreat leader, catechist, and blogs at “Pope Francis Generation”. We have a great conversation in this, our podcast’s first interview episode.

We cover a bunch of fun topics today. The beginning of the episode covers some of my thoughts on the recent Pints With Aquinas debate on the Eucharist. Then we hit the other two topics more briefly and announce a special guest coming on the next episode.

Here I lay out a fun and exciting plan to revamp our currently ridiculous immigration scheme here in the US. The mailbag includes questions on beans, wild pigs and rainbow flags.

This is my favorite of the famous 5 ways. There are objections and answers at the end of the article I read from and I include a brief run down of a bonus argument also in the Platonic vein.

We hit a variety of questions in this episode, happy listening!

I very much hope that people from the pro-choice perspective listen to this episode with an open mind. However, if you already are pro-life, I hope this gives you some tools and training to make a persuasive case to others, I think it will.

Here we cover lots of questions and objections, the philosophy of transubstantiation (in brief), some quotes from early church fathers, a bit of Jewish tradition, and we do a lightning rundown of the arguments that we covered in the three episodes.

Here we cover the famous John 6 passage but we also spend substantial time in Matthew and 1st Corinthians.
