Hey everyone I was recently invited onto Reason TV, they're a Libertarian channel here on YouTube,

to discuss Catholicism and socialism. But in today's episode I want to share a clip from our interview

where we discuss one of the hosts, Zach, has been noticing more and more of his libertarian friends are Catholic, and he's not Catholic.
