DISAGREEMENT Umar Lee and Augustine Wetta
-
- Religion & Spirituality
-
What do a Muslim activist and a Catholic monk have in common? It’s not a joke, it’s a podcast.
We are two men with wildly different religious, political, and social convictions seeking mutual understanding. The point is dialogue--with some silliness thrown in.

Customer Reviews
Best podcast ever
I am thoroughly enjoying this. Educational, fun, enlightening, engaging, and entertaining. I am learning about Islam, but also more Dee my Catholic faith. Worth listening to from start to finish. Thank you Fr. Augustine for making this happen.
A very fun, insightful listen
Found these guys because of Father’s appearance on Pints With Aquinas. Happy to have found the same thoughtfulness and sense of humor from him here, and enjoying hearing from Umar too! It’s really a blessing to listen to true dialogue in such a polarized, foolish time.
Great conversations!!
I’m on the second podcast and already love it! As an African American Catholic, I love that I can listen to the two points of view and identify with aspects of both men!!
