Mary Maximilism (Gabriel Castillo) | Ep. 598

Which Pints With Aquinas conversation is picking up speed after nearly a week online? Episode 598, "Mary Maximilism (Gabriel Castillo)," which Matt Fradd posted on September 24. It has now passed 66,000 views, and its latest day brought in roughly ten times what the episode usually gathers.

That is a late push. Most podcast episodes do their busiest work in the first day or two, and this one waited until day six to find another gear. It also moved against the mood of its corner. Several of the bigger religion and faith channels, including Living Waters and The 700 Club, were running well below their normal pace.

The title is a play on "Marian maximalism," the term for the tendency to give the Virgin Mary the fullest possible honor in Catholic devotion and doctrine. That puts the episode squarely in Fradd's usual territory. His long-running show is a Catholic interview podcast built on theology, apologetics and faith conversations, and here Gabriel Castillo is the guest.
