St. Nicholas, we know him as Santa Claus, but there's a different angle on him that we want to explore today and that is St Nicholas as a theological minority.

That's right, during his time in the Aryan crisis, he was in the minority.

The Trinitarians, those who would become known as the Nicene Church fathers, were the minority.

Probably about 80% of the bishops during this time period were on the wrong

side. They were fighting for the Arians they were defending the wrong belief that Jesus is a creature.

And we're going to talk about that, how that applies to our time as well.

But there can be theological minorities and being in the minority doesn't mean necessarily you're wrong. Maybe

vegano is the modern day Nicholas. Here to talk about that is my co-host Tim

Gordon. How are you doing?

Good to be here.

There's a lot of people debating our name, our duo name in the comments.

I know.

I know.

The kind of, you know, the time, you know, I kind of like diamond and silk of the Catholic world.

Yeah.

Are we the diamond silk?

You're very partial to that one.

I remember you saying that, you said that a few times. I think you like

diamond itself a lot. Or Frodo and Sam wise but I don't know who gets to be who on

that one. As long as people stay away from the comic books, we're good.

I kind of like Gandoff and Aragorn.

Yeah, there.
