Vatican II: Has the Hermeneutic of Continuity Failed? w/Dr. Larry Chapp
Today I am rejoined by Dr. Larry Chapp, Retired Professor of Theology at De Sales University and author of https://gaudiumetspes22.com/. Dr. Chapp and I discuss a recent blog post of his on Vatican II and the Hermeneutic of Continuity and discuss whether or not that hermeneutic has failed. The verdict: it hasn't, but it also hasn't totally succeeded yet!

Defending the Papacy w/Joe Heschmeyer
Today, author, apologist, catechist, and speaker Joe Heschmeyer joins us to talk about the papacy, building on his work in the book Pope Peter: Defending the Church's Most Distinctive Doctrine in a Time of Crisis. We talk about Scriptural arguments for the papacy (probably different from the normal ones you're used to!), how to argue like a Thomist, sedevacantism, and more.
