Jordan Peterson is getting many of his questions answered by Catholics and there may be more harm being done than good. Roman Catholicism and Christianity are not the same. But he probably thinks so.

And thank you for listening, by the way!

Fair enough, especially considering that his wife Tammy recently converted to Catholicism. That certainly has a huge influence on him. However, we see JP engaging with several different types of people on his podcast. Catholics, sure. Orthodox, Jews, Mormons, Evangelicals, too, though. Greg Laurie was on a few weeks ago. His discussion series on The Gospels and Exodus also provides a pretty diverse panel. I think that's how he's trying to learn, by exposing himself to multiple different strands of what he views as Christianity, whether any of them are actually faithful Biblical Christianity or not. Then he tries to square that with his own framing of scripture with the Jungian/psychological archetype stuff. But... I don't think any of this changes the observations we began to make in the podcast.

And with his wife’s “conversion’ it’s a safe bet which way he will lean. Has anyone else noticed the pooularity growth of the Catholic church? I subscribed to Fox Nation thinking I would see Christian content. To my disappointment it is like watching Catholic indoctrination
