Welcome friends to the DTFH and what a special episode I have for you today.

If you are a long time fan of the DTFH, you probably know I've had people from so many different spiritual traditions on this podcast.

Shamans, practicing witches, practicing magicians. I've had rabbis. I've had Satanists. I've had

people who practice Bhakti yoga, people who worship Shiva. I've had so many different

spiritual worldviews on this podcast, but you know what I haven't had a lot of

Catholics? In fact, I've had zero. Zero in the years that I've done podcasting. I have given

Christianity almost no representation on this show at all, which is kind of weird,

because I love Christianity. I love Jesus and I love reading the New Testament. I'm not going to

go on and on about the experience I had, Book of John LSD. You've heard me say it a million times.

But where are the Christians?

Why don't I have them on every once in a while?

And so when someone told me that they could connect me with Bishop Robert Barron, I said,

yes, right away.

Because Robert Barron, and I hope Bishop Barron's okay with me saying this.

He's like a modern day Thomas Merton. He's somebody who is so good at articulating Christianity

in a way that maybe people who are somewhat unfamiliar with it, people have

misunderstandings about it, people who feel hesitant, if not turned off by it. He has a way of

communicating to get through that filter, and he's brilliant. He kept saying over and over again

in our conversation, he's not an expert on Buddhism.

He's definitely an expert on Buddhism. And he's an expert in a lot of things. But most importantly,

he's really, really, really good at answering what I would consider to be some fairly difficult

questions about Christianity.
