The app for independent voices

Hello, I’m Donald Paul. I am husband, father, and former-seminarian who is obsessed with Catholic theology. On my substack In Defense of Theology you will find:

  • Faithful discussions on Catholic theology

  • Reflections to become a smarter Catholic

  • Really cool Catholic books you need to read

If you love Catholic theology and want to learn together, I’d love to connect!

Just added dramatic audio reading… takes you right there!
