Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, so I'm currently at the Catholic Answers office right now doing one of my quarterly

visits here in San Diego.

And it's just been fun hanging out, going to the building, seeing everybody that I normally

see on Zoom or on Skype.

So it's been great.

But today what I wanted to share with you is an interview that I did with Eric Sammons.

He's the editor at Crisis Magazine.

This was for his Crisis Podcast, Crisis Point.

I think this is the name of the podcast.

I'll link to it below.

We should have checked out Crisis Magazine, checked out Eric's podcast.

I wanted to share some of that interview with you where we talk about apologetics,

ecumenism, and Pope Francis.

So take a look.

Now apologetics, of course, has been practiced since the time of Christ.

I assume the Jews probably practiced it even before that.

But it has been practiced by Christians since the time of Christ.

In the 1970s, particularly, it got a bad name.

And I feel like my understanding of the history having lived through some of myself is that

Carl Keating, at least in this country, kind of single handily brought it back from the

dead.
