Hello, and welcome to Focus, Catholic Cancer's podcast for living, understanding, and defending

your Catholic faith.

I am Si, Kellet, your host, very happy to welcome Joshua Charles this time.

I think maybe possibly the first White House speechwriter we've ever had on here, although

I couldn't guarantee it, I'm not sure, but you can find his work at JoshuaTCharles.com.

You can find him on Twitter at JoshuaTCharles, and he's been writing about becoming Catholic,

and we were very struck by his writing, a wonderful writer and historian, and very struck by

his writing.

So we wanted to ask him about a series that he's done there on the becoming Catholic part

of his work, where he talked about how, well, essentially, the title has to do with how

the fathers of the church talked about heresy, they were talking about my Protestantism.

Joshua Charles, thank you very much for being here with us.

Thank you, Si.

As I told you before, I've heard many of your broadcasts over the years, and they played

a big role in my converting, so thank you very, very much indeed.

Well, you're very gracious to say it.

It is kind of, it's starting to feel a little bit like we're reaching a critical mass

in Catholic media, where there's people like you, and there's, you know, from all the

way from the Matt Frads to the EWTNs of the world, where rather than being filtered through

a media that's a bit hostile to Christianity, the truth about the Catholic Church is able

to get out there directly towards people.

Are you feeling that?
