Ep. #42 - The Crusades! with Steve Weidenkopf
Episode description
Steve Weidenkopf provides an excellent overview of the crusades. Did Christians force Muslims to convert under penalty of death? How can the Church explain the injustices committed in the name of religion during the crusades? Did the children's crusade send boys into bloody battles? Weidenkopf answers these questions and more in our interview.
The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
