There Will Be Catholics Part 1 - Benjamin of Bircholm

Benjamin (@BenjaminPHLN23 on X) stopped by the virtual bar for a remarkably insightful discussion. He recalls his miraculous (my words, not his) recovery from a heart attack and a loss of a limb as a teenager before delving into his philosophical endeavors in college. Eventually when writing for his Masters, he was asked to leave a university due to his paper on abortion and unwavering stance in the face of threats. We discuss his views and he articulates the Catholic position against the extreme while having compassion. We talk further about the loss of community among younger men and Catholics, how to bring young families and singles into the Church and keep them there, as well as conversation regarding the occult, forces beyond our control, and the future of AI. Grab a glass! There Will Be Bourbon. And Catholics!
