Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More

Welcome to Unlimited Opinions! Have you ever wanted to listen to a lawyer and his son discuss philosophy, mythology, theology, politics and more? No? Well, Mark and Adam Bishop are here to discuss it all the same! From philosophy to mythology to politics, they discuss it all with rants and tangents galore! Now in Season 15, they're discussing Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P.'s essays in Philosophizing in Faith, discussing the principles of logic and Thomist realism; moral philosophy; theology, and more! There will also be more than the average amount of references to linguistics, 80s movies, and J.R.R. Tolkien. If any of that sounds vaguely interesting, then this is the podcast for you! Episodes are uploaded every Tuesday at 7:00 a.m. CST.
