In recent days, Catholic social media has been abuzz with news that Matt Fradd, host of the popular podcast Pints with Aquinas, will move his show to Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire early next year.
Many have applauded the union as a way to bring Catholic truth to a larger audience. Fradd himself has said the podcast will “get bigger” without changing. Yet others feel uneasy. They worry that Fradd’s unmistakable Catholic voice may be overshadowed by a platform with a strongly pro-Israel bias.
Reacting to this, some have levelled the accusation that such criticisms reveal an “antisemitism” within some areas of the Catholic sphere. But this simplistic analysis, which works well to silence dissenting voices, takes little account of the facts.
