In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the one and only Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, PhD in a conversation that aims to turn the conventional tropes about Faith vs. Science on its head and to talk about areas where faith fills in the gaps left by science.
The host of EWTN's Father Spitzer's Universe, the author of over 18 books and many scholarly articles, and the President of the Magis Center of Faith and Reason and the Napa Institute Fr. Spitzer, has the credentials coming out of his ears to tackle this kind of topic and he brings his enormous wealth of experience and insight to our humble little podcast this week.
We tackle topics of the origins of the universe, the soul, beauty, Eucharistic miracles, out-of-body experiences, and many more areas where science simply fails to offer an explanation – but faith has had one all along!
It's an amazing conversation; I hope you enjoy it deeply!
