In this week's episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest renowned author and scholar Joseph Pearce joins the program.

Joseph Pearce, once a militant atheist and extremist, found his worldview shaken by the very writers he admired. In this powerful Catholic testimony, Pearce shares how great literature, reason, and grace led him from hatred to the Church. His story is one of transformation, truth, and the harmony of faith and reason.

Watch as he reveals how unexpected encounters with Catholics like G.K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien challenged his beliefs — and ultimately brought him home to the Catholic Church.
