I don't know how to know the truth about anything anymore.

Tim Ryland from Catholic Answers magazine helps me.

Next.

Hello and welcome to focus the Catholic Answers podcast for living understanding and defending your Catholic faith.

I'm Cy Kelle at your host and when it comes to certain things it's easy to know the truth.

If it's in the Bible, I believe it, for example, I believe what the church teaches.

But I don't know the truth about a whole lot of other stuff and part of why I don't know the truth about it is because

even the more journalism I read, the more disagreement I encounter.

And I'm not just talking about opinion journalism.

I'm talking about journalism that's supposed to be just objective journalism.

It doesn't agree.

And so how am I supposed to know? How am I supposed to sort through that and find the truth?

I think this was particularly difficult this year in the year of COVID in the year of the election,

in the year of so many crises it was very hard often to feel certain that you had

come to the truth no matter how much journalism as a matter of fact it got worse the

more journalism you exposed yourself to.

So we decided, let's have Tim Ryland.

He's a lifelong journalist and the editor of Kathy Kanswers magazine.

Let's have him in and we'll talk about how do we find the truth

amidst all of this confusing journalism? Tim Ryland, editor of Catholic Answers magazine, thank you for being with us.

First of all, I appreciate you being here.

Always enjoy it.
