    Absurdity in The Eucharist
    Very enlightening. Thanks Karlo and Cy. You pinned it regarding symbolism and cannibalism.

    Apologetics
    I struggle with how to talk about my faith with those who disagree with it. This podcast has really helped me. One guest said it’s okay to tell someone, let me look into that and I’ll get back with you, and then get back with them. It really helped me realize I don’t need to have all the answers to have a conversation.

    Conversational style is helpful. You help me understand our Catholic faith more deeply, and therefore love it even more.

    Absence of new episodes
    I enjoy the conversational discussions about issues affecting Catholics, but I am concerned because it has been something like 6 weeks since a new episode has been released.

    Growing Deeper in Catholicism
    Always helps me grow deeper in our Catholic faith! As a mom/wife that teaches Religious Ed I love sharing what I learned on this program.

    Fun factual and informative
    I started listening to this podcast about a month ago. I really enjoyed the topics. They easily bring interesting and sometimes difficult content forward in a clean orderly fashion. I enjoy the energetic delivery of the details . Just enough to get information you need. And not overwhelming. I think you enjoy it too.

    Great podcast
    This is an informative and thought-provoking podcast on a range of topics. I especially like the episode on the Exorcist movie! Keep up the great work
  • Lilipad10
    I didn’t know The Exorcist was a Catholic Movie
    I never watched the movie all the way growing up because I thought it was demonic and I could somehow get possessed from watching it. Hearing this commentary makes me think otherwise but the host did mention that there were still some scandalous scenes even for Catholics. So would you still recommend a Catholic to watch it?

    A Wonderful Catholic Podcast
    Cy Kellett is a charming and hilarious host. I could listen to him all day. The content is always entertaining, fascinating and super informative.

    Exorcism
    Fascinating interview on “The Excorcist” but didn’t the priest commit suicide at the end?

    This podcast isn’t really that great
    Thought I enjoyed this podcast but then I heard the Victory day episode discussing how the United States dropping atomic bombs on Japan was immoral. It wasn’t the conclusion that made me angry but the attitudes of the host and guest during the “discussion”. My take away from this episode was that this was an immoral act and if you think any differently you are ignorant of your own faith and oh by the way America really isn’t great. With a few giggles thrown in for good measure. You know it was bad when the host has to have a few extra words at the end to try and make it seem like they don’t really hate America and think the listener is stupid. Most Catholics know America’s flaws, we have them pointed out daily, but we also know the flaws of the Catholic Church, because those are pointed out daily. I listen to podcasts like this to know my faith and to be able to defend it. It doesn’t help to say America isn't that great but I served in the Marines so I can say that, it’s like when someone says all priests are pedophiles but I was I was an altar boy so I can say that. This podcast made me love America and the Catholic Church less, great job!

    Informative
    I’m 50 and I’ve been Catholic all my life. Truly can’t say it enough how I still manage to learn something about my life with every podcast. Our Church needs this program so we can learn who we are as a people and why we were sent.

    Even though I am a lifelong Catholic these podcasts keep me very well informed on my faith and help me share this information with others.

    So much I didn’t know!
    I’m a convert (2019) and have been blessed with many excellent teachers and resources in my journey into the Catholic Church. This podcast, which I only recently came across, has been a fantastic source of information and encouragement as I continue to learn about Christ and His Church. Thank you for your ministry and joyful witness!

    Sacred heart bonus episode knocked it out of the park
    I’ve enjoyed the podcast since it came out, but the recent bonus episode “God is Present to You” with Sister Regina Marie Gorman was absolutely amazing. I’ve listened to it three times so far. Even though it’s an interview, the effect is like a guided meditation into the heart of Jesus. So much peace… May God be praised.

    Love this Catholic podcast
    I always learn something new from Catholic Answers Focus. All the topics are relevant to our times, are insightful and help teach us to defend the faith. Keep up the good work.
  • Paolo DiGi
    Great range of topics and intelligent interviewees
    I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and recommend it heartily to anyone with questions about the Catholic faith, whether Catholic or not. If Catholic, the basis for doctrine is clearly explained. If not, I hope it will lead to charitable dialogue about doctrinal differences.

    Good With Complex Theology
    When it comes to Catholic theology they are on point and i learn a lot. However, when they tackle secular issues they need some help. They start with what they assume is the other side’s belief and make an argument around that. Usually that statement is inaccurate and what follows is also inaccurate. I would love it if they had someone on that actually holds the point of view they’re discussing and have a reasonable conversation from there. Without that it’s pretty one-sided.

    Great discussion
    Thank you for having this discussion and breaking it down so effectively. Having a family member choose this path has been a struggle, yet my husband and I have stood true to the teachings of Christ and appreciate this additional knowledge to share with others.

    Noelle Mering
    Best episode ever! Critical thinking at its finest from a wonderfully articulate author. Mering needs to narrate her own audiobook for us.
  • JAL39
    An Interested Protestant
    I’m a Protestant, born and raised, and have recently been experiencing a drawing into the Catholic Faith that I can only describe as magnetic. This drawing has led me to doing research to learn more about the Catholic Church that goes beyond my understanding that was fed by Hollywood and assumptions. This podcast has truly given me so much insight, but not just about Catholicism, but also about my faith, and Christ. I am truly thankful for this podcast and how it is aiding me in my quest for a deeper understanding of my Christian faith.
