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.  #NeilDiamondGhostWriterForVatican2Links or other pertinent information:  Want to suggest an episode topic?  Contribute financially to the podcast?  Or just compare notes on your favorite theological theories or pop culture hobbies?  Contact the guys any time tenthousandplacespodcast@gmail.comAn OSV Podcasts partner.

The One Where We Talk about the Matrix and God’s Permissive Will

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”
