Great episode. Thank you for sharing this testimony. May God bless both of you gents. ❤❤❤
Thanks! Much appreciated.
I loved this interview! Craig's life and story are so interesting, and he has that laid back peace and joy that comes with experience and a loving heart.
Great episode. That broom closet analogy is an interesting one.
Yeah. New perspective for me.
Thank you for another great episode! God Bless you and your work. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Great interview! Amazing how God answers all our prayers, even when we do not realise we have asked. I bought Tolkiens Sacramental Vision when I came back to the church 2 years ago but it is only in recent months that I have actual read some of it. There are so many books out there and you tend to wonder who are the authors and what authority do they have to write them. When someone talks about love in the way Craig has it puts your mind at ease that he is for God. Very enjoyable stories told with so much grace and humility. I love how you shared the photos Eddie, it allows us to live vicariously through them. Thank you both and may you all be blessed abundantly. God bless 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks so much for sharing this! It is much appreciated.
I love that song by The Traveling Wilburys ❤
Great episode. Love the background Mr. Trask!
Great to hear from you, Beth!
Super interesting. By the way that Richard McBrien book would have been "Catholicism", a two volumen treatment. I remember reading it on my way into the Church and realizing that there was something seriously wrong with it, as even I knew it wasn't a accurate portrayal of Church theology. I found out it had it's impimatur removed by the USCCB. They had asked McBrien to fix some serious errors and on the second edition he didn't fix them and added more. No surprise since the late McBrien was a dissenting theologian. I found it also interesting how Shakespeare was part of your journey. Joseph Pearce has a book "The Quest for Shakespeare," which lays the case for Shakespeare as a recusant Catholic. Literature is those influences that can bring people into the Church, I met a lapsed Catholic that returned to the Church after reading the Lord of the Rings.
