Welcome to the Council of Trent podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Today on Folk Phenomenology, we have Trent Horan.

Trent, welcome to my show.

Sam, thank you so much for having me.

Yeah, before we get started here, Trent, I want to make sure that the record is very clear

that I really want to thank you for two reasons.

The first is for the debate that you graciously hosted at Catholic Answers almost a year

ago, are we debated this compatibility thesis on socialism?

Definitely, it's been a year.

Yeah, I know.

We're coming up on that.

As I'm sure you realize, I was the nobody rando commenting and you platform me, you gave

me a chance to engage with you.

Since then, I've been on something of a podcast tour of sorts, which you never would have

happened.

To be completely honest and totally serious, this show, Folk Phenomenology, wouldn't have

launched it without that aftermath.

Well, I appreciate Sam, you're willing to engage people.

One of the reasons I wanted to have a debate with you in the first place was I couldn't

really find someone who was willing to defend that position in an open debate.

The fact that you, one, expressed a willingness, and you're not a nobody, you're an academic,

you teach at a university.
