Finally got around to listening to the show. Mr. Fusco was the BEST guest Gene has had on in a very long time, maybe even the best guest EVER! He is obviously a very wise, deep thinker, carefully balancing a very rigorous use of logic, reason and deduction with the cold, objective, empirical...

Maybe trying reading a little. *(There's nothing about the Church's pioneering work in turning dead people into batteries, though. Sorry!) How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization THOMAS E. WOODS, JR. From the role of the monks to art and architecture, from the university to...

I gave up on this episode when he claimed that the Mayans had to "pull more hearts" to gain the same effect on the "balance" of nature that formerly ripping the heart out of "just" one terrified, innocent murder victim had caused. So I didn't even hear the bit about the Catholic Church's...

Oh well, we're all just collections of skin and DNA anyway. Why not have fun rearranging it? (As long as it's someone else's skin and DNA.)

Some say it was just a barn owl. Others think differently:

Do the "robot" creatures remind anyone else of the Flatwoods Monster? I didn't catch if Mr. Shrum described its appearance in much detail, but I had the impression that the first one was sort of floating above the ground, meandering between trees and boulders as it made its way to Mr. Shrum's...

Awesome show!!!! This is the kind of thing that The Paracast has always done the best: analyzing a specific case, doing an objective and informed cross-examination of the researchers who present that case, and following the trails of evidence to see where they might lead. Keep up the GREAT...

No serious Biblical scholar would take all of the books in the Old Testament literally! Before any arguments can even proceed from his mouth, Biglino is already in error. For example, just listen to Fr. Barron's latest sermon on "The Spiritual Drama of Jonah." Did Jonah REALLY live for 3 days...

Speaking of the many ways that institutional religion can go bad, just thought I'd throw this into the conversation for those who might be interested and/or have an open mind. I think Fr. Barron speaks very effectively on the issue.

Thanks for sharing your story and your encouragement! I'll keep trying to be patient. I drive past the cemetery where Grandma is buried every day, and I can see her gravestone. I always send some smiles and a hello her way, and in my mind I can just see her smiling back and wanting me to stop...

As for the "catholic priest analogy," there is nothing secretive about the field of theology, and that includes the Eucharist. It's all out there for anyone who's interested in learning about it, whether you're a scholar or a hobbyist. The thing is, if you don't buy into it, then why participate...

Okay, then that same article reminds us that membership in the Hitler Youth was REQUIRED by German law. "Conscripted" would have been a more accurate word for the author of this article to use than "joined". You also chose not to include, again from the same article, that he DESERTED the...

Such a compelling and very sad case--who wouldn't be moved with sympathy after hearing the family doctor talk about the fragile health that all three witnesses now suffer with, and for no "good" reason? Oh yeah, I guess that would be government bureaucrats and members of the military who are...

Here's where someone can prove me wrong that a serious discussion of religion can actually be had in these forums. The Church always has REASONS why it judges a thought, an action, or the absence of an action to be morally right or wrong. So, instead of insulting the Pope's appearance, or...

This is exactly what I mean. It's the direction things always seem to go in here. Can someone quote something Benedict XVI has actually said or written or taught that is "evil"? I mean, if we're going to begin and end our judgements of people at the level of how physically attractive we...

I'm all for serious discussions of religion with guests, but I think that's really outside of the mission of this show. I would like to say, though, that one thing that has urcked me in the past is the quick and condescending ways in which certain religions have been dismissed on the show...

Thanks, Tyder and Polterwurst! Much appreaciated!!!!!!

Really enjoyed the dream analysis discussion. One question I'd like to throw out there, though. Rosemary talked about how you can basically order up particular kinds of dreams, and that we might be actually communicating with loved ones who've passed away by traveling to another reality...

I'm not such a cynic that I can bring myself to actually believe that, if there were a cure for cancer out there, my wife's oncologist A) wouldn't know about it; or B) wouldn't prescribe it out of some warped sense of servitude to the money-grubbing big pharmaceutical companies. I think these...

Have you guys ever heard of Noah Voss? I came across one of his books, UFO Wisconsin: A Progress Report while browsing at the local bookstore. I looked up his website, Unexplained Research, and it appears that he's been pretty active for quite a while exploring a variety of paranormal topics. He...
