This man's accent sounds like it's from a different era. Hands down one of the most unique accents I've heard.
Tidewater accent is definitely unique to America.
Would the good gentleman be offended if I am reminded of Foghorn Leghorn?
@@First_Rock😂 I concur. I love it!
Same! And my kids and I loved hearing it.
My mother’s family is from Kentucky. The only one’s left are my mom and her brother. I recognize this man’s accent. Very reminiscent of my Uncle and his sons.
Hallow needs to get this man a rosary playlist 😂
Yes!
Nice handle
I was thinking the same thing! Unfortunately, I have this bad habit of subconsciously imitating people’s speech if I listen long enough… I might start talking like him after awhile. (Which isn’t bad… except I’m not from Kentucky so it’d be weird!)

Alan is hands down one of the best guests Pints has had on. What a great, lively character and thinker! And the accent is 👌.
hurtful, but true.
@@Amdgomer😂You are special too
Well Said!
Agreed!😂
Someone give this man a movie role.
Pretty sure he played Doc Holiday in Tombstone
I'm trying to figure out what movie his voice is reminding me of!!
isnt his Brother Woody in the pictures business.
Django Unchained
@@nathanschenkel7212 that's it! Is it the character Daddy??
I’m a Protestant in a conservative church(Campbell Stone) 5 minutes from Steubenville. I understand what Dr. Alan is saying. I appreciate his courage. I’ve never understood why our brothers and sisters can be so hurtful to those who honestly love God.
Thank you for this video!
Please pray that the Spirit points me in the right direction! Thanks friends!
You should go to the Cigar shop party tonight.
Thanks! I misspoke, I am from that area. Moved away a while ago. Enjoy! I just bought a cheap pipe to try out pipe tobacco. I’m there in spirit!
When someone of intellectual means, respectable and well loved with their circle converts .... it begs a question to thise who havent. The ones landed with the question are asked what am I doing wrong? What don't I understand? Am I being self-decieved? ... but rather most people will find that striking aporia unpalatable and then ask instead - whats wrong with the convert?
@@benjaminlquinlan8702 well said. I appreciate that thought process. I have been born and raised Church of Christ. I love the people. We mean well.
The problem that I have been struggling with is that everything we learn is historical and intellectual. Feelings are generally uncomfortable, icky things and so we tend to ere on the side of caution and be more business/logic like. It does feel legalistic and Pharisee-esque.
The Bible is infinite in its depth. However, I do feel like I am missing context to several things though because of sola scriptura.
For instance, we have no methodology for dealing with evil spirits and demons. I like to help people, so how do I deal with someone who is demon possessed?
Meditation? I want to know what the biblical authors specifically meant by that. And here the Catholic Church has answers. Y’all have several forms of meditation!
I’m not ready to convert. But it is hard to deny that y’all have been thinking this through for quite a bit longer than we have.
If I continue to have lackluster answers then I am sure my walk will continue to a different church. Will it be the Catholic Church? I’ve not found too much that I have issues with. But due to the nature of my entanglement with my church, I have to be prepared to answer all of the hard questions.
@@lewkbauerI came to faith in a Calvinist denomination. The criticism of the Catholic Church was always its doctrines of Mary or the Pope and “legalism”.
Now, we’re in a less Calvinistic congregation and the longer I’m there, the more it’s clear the Protestant Church suffers from a vacuum on clear teaching. I find the structure and long history of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches immensely helpful
Dr. Harrelson, every day between now and Christmas I'll be praying for you, your wife, and your children.
Fr. Thomas Hoisington
I'm only 5 minutes in and I love this guy. And I could listen to him talk for hours. So good to hear home-grown accents.
💯 exactly what I was thinking.
Same!!
he's putting it on
@@feofilakt9877 i think he's playing it up, not putting it on. There's an important difference
@@christianmadore7574 i don't think the difference is tangible. sure he has a fairly distinctive southern accent but what he sounds like in more recent videos is nothing like the videos of him from years and years ago, weird how he feels the need to present this fake version of himself
I am so glad he addressed the prejudice that exists towards Catholics in the south. I am not yet Catholic, but praying one day I get to be. I see so much joy in his face when he talks about the Catholic faith and I understand it, because I feel that joy too. God bless him and his wife and family on their journey home.❤
Hi!
Converts and returning always make the best Catholics, because they made a well thought out decision.
What is stopping you from becoming Catholic?
I'm a protestant making my way back home and I can also confirm the prejudice that Catholics get in the South ever since I start going to mass and people ask me what church I go to and I tell them where I go it's automatically a problem for most people.
Growing up in Louisiana’s mostly catholic Cajun country, I didn’t know there were other religions until I moved out of state 😊 and my dad did smoke pipes - love the smell
@@mrsducky3428 Indeed! Converts really are the joy of the Church. As a cradle Catholic few things warm my heart more! Affectionate prayers too for all who are drawn but not quite there yet. Please pray for us too!
I am praying to God, and asking him if I should convert to Catholicism.
Brothers I ask you to pray for me a Catholic thats starting to fall away, I will never stop going to mass, but my sins are getting a hold of me, please pray for me.
reading your plea here made me tear up. you're not alone, my friend. sin is a terrible thing, but God never tires of bringing us back into a loving communion with him. I also struggle with habitual sins; pray for me as I pray for you
Praying for you, friend.
Eucharistic adoration!
You should start listening to "My Imitation of Christ" by Thomas a Kempis uploaded by Classic Catholic Audiobooks on RUclips. I have been listening to it most of the day and it's really a powerful weapon to resist temptations. I will offer you 5 decades today. Please, be at peace.
Jona you will look back and realize that God was holding you tight the whole time. Jesus in the storm.
Dr. Harrelson's accent actually normalized Matt's! 🤗
I think he is acting or putting it on. No one his age, and in this age/era talks that way unless he was born in the 1920s. He is adding to his accent. Its probably his schtick.
@@MekMalazan have an opinion is not a sin. I could be wrong just my take. Theres a lot more sin you should be casting stones at.
@@MekMalazan sorry but no please reread and note the word usage of "I think" vs "I know" and "probably" rather than " it is certain." I was an English major. Words matter. By your logic you are sinning as well accusing me of calumny, of all things. I'm not judging this man as you are me. I'm not saying he is sinning as you are me. And besides, acting as a character you play, is not acting, it's acting. It's not sinning. People can portray themselves differently to different people. It does not make them liars, perhaps maybe somewhat disingenuous. Words and their meanings matter and distinguishing between similar words is called nuance. BUT, you are entitled to your opinion, as I am entitled to mine. In regards to sin, in this case, I would defer to my priest if I need correcting. Thanks
@@immaculateheart1267people in Louisiana and all over other Southern States speak like this regularly. You just need more exposure to country folk because you’re just flat out wrong in your claim that no one speaks like this. A lot of people do. He has a particular cadence to his accent that’s peculiar but not far fetched. He’s originally from South Carolina so it’s not that surprising.
@@MekMalazan apples and oranges. Well actually putting on a character and rape are not even in the same group, so more like apples and rocks.. Its a false inequivalency.
Praying for healing and reconciliation between Alan and his parents. God bless his courage and integrity to follow his conscience despite the heavy cost.
I just started it and it is going to be totally awesome. Dr. Harrelson is a former professor of mine from Liberty University and and mentor of mine. He is a great fellow Christian and one I am proud to call my brother in Christ. Thank you, Matt, for having him on. God bless...
is the accent real? genuinely curious since it sounds so anachronistic
@gabomaxi9 its very real. Incredible accent.
“Son, I’ve got class I ain’t even used yet.” Perhaps one the greatest lines ever said by a human being!
I missed this part. timestamp anyone?
It was early like 8 minutes in
@@lilianamunoz3003 24:24
Delightful interview. The best of protestant southern gentleman piety, on the road to the Catholic Church. I love hearing 'literature' pronounced like Flannery O'Connor said it.
Goodness gracious God almighty this entertaining 😊😅😅😅😅
I like anyone that references Flannery O'Connor. :)
HOW FANTASTIC! I haven't heard that genteel raconteur drawl in years! I thought it had died or was at least on the "endangered species" list. What a treat to know its still with us!
@@mickey30981 😄 endangered species......
Yes! I hut rewind a couple of times just to enjoy how he says it! 😂
Never heard of this guy before, but as a pipe-smoking Catholic I love him.
I absolutely agree 100 percent
You're in for a treat.
His channel is amazing
As a non smoking clean Protestant I love him too.
I love this interview. My father smoked the pipe! You are making me cry. I can still smell the Tabacco. The father of 8 children and a devout catholic wonderful father and yes, a gentleman for sure. Three cheers to pipe smokers.
I got 10 minutes into this episode and decided I wanted to buy a pipe. So I went to the Briary here in Birmingham which Alan called out! They helped me pick everything out and even sat and smoked with me and we talked theology for a bit 😊 This episode led me to have such a blessed day!!
The Briary is a wonderful place! I have made many purchases there.
Thanks be to God!!!
What did you buy, Kaleb. I’m new to the pipe game as well. Got a couple Missouri Meerschaum cobs, a Peterson bent bulldog, and a Savinelli 316ks pot. Really like My mixture 965, HH burley flake, blood ten moon, and plum pudding. Having a tough time with Virginia blends. Don’t know what to think yet. I’m aging some Orlik golden sliced and Davidoff flake medallions. We shall see. It really is a fun hobby.
"Son I got class I ain't even used yet."
The quote of the week
He is a character! 😂❤
@@dove.9833 A literal Character. His accent is not real . I'm from North Carolina and he is originally from south Carolina I believe and no one talks that way. heh's mixing Kentucky and Texan. It's very cringy
@@MarkelBeverley I've read that in some areas everyone talks like that. If you watch his video's it shows that he actually talks like that.
Edit: It's from "the flatlands down east", not Piedmont or the mountains.
@@olivierschraepen5451 I'm not buying it, I'm sorry.
My husband and I also came in to Catholicism together fervently. I know this is rare. It was was and still is a tremendous blessing. Almost 5 years later and we still shout from the mountain tops, “Becoming Catholic is the best decision we have ever made in all of our lives! Ever. The absolute best.” Great show! Thanks, Matt!
Amen!!! Agreed!!!!
That accent is beautiful!
+JMJ+
Agreed!
I thought he was joking at first lol
@@701delbronx8 It's fake
I do believe we're seeing the birth of another great apologist in real time. I've been a fan of Dr Harrelson since his first RUclips video. I'll be praying for him and his wife, his children, and especially his parents. Welcome home!
Sometimes when listening to these conversations with Matt and his guests I laugh, then cry. Then laugh again I dont know if anyone relate to that but these are not only entertaining but very beautiful and edificating stories and conversations. Praise be God.
100%!
Most definitely
….I went from charmed to tears. When he started talking his conversion… it’s all absolutely beautiful. So grateful to be Catholic, to have this wonderful family in Christ.
This gentleman is an absolute delight! I could listen to him all night!
The accent isn't real. He's from SC I'm from NC and no one there talks that way
Never thought these two worlds would collide. Seeing Alan’s passion for Christ, his appreciation for history, literature, and pipes has made my month. May God bless him and his family on his journey into the fullness of the faith. P.S. I could listen to that accent all day.
I would pay good money for an audiobook of this guy reading Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy.
This man speaks so wisely is hard to believe he s 37 years old. Greetings from Mexico. 😊
Watch out tho. He publicly disagrees with promoting multiculturalism. Limited view of humanity.
@@truincanadaok, and?
@truincanada As we all should be. Being against multiculturalism doesn't mean racist. It means that if you move here, become an American by following our values. Don't bring and attempt to impose an inferior culture and way of governence on America.
@PerpetualSmile Thank you for your reply. To be honest , I was very taken by the erudition and common sensical homesteading sense he relates to his listener. However, in that conversation he made that specific and I wish he would have fleshed that out as you have in your comment. I appreciate your perspective yet I would welcome Dr. Alan to clarify.
This man has captured my experience with Protestantism perfectly. I will pray for his and his wife's journey to the one true church and for the relationship between him and his family. I'll also find his RUclips. Thank you, Matt.
I do declare, this southern gal’s ears are positively delighted at Dr Harrelson’s melodic conversating.
So glad he’s crossing the Tiber. GK is smiling down from heaven!
"someone has kept the light on for you".... That one hit hard for me. I've had the same experience. Welcome home brother!!!
I could listen to this guy talk all day.
Holy smokes, this guy needs to talk more. His speech is really unique, intriguing and awesome
Search for his name and you should find some lectures on southern music!
Matt and Alan please pray for the conversion of too many sons and husbands who are lost, God bless
as a brand new baby catholic myself this is so heartwarming, i feel like i'm in good company, in fact the BEST!!!
Welcome home.🙏🏽💜✝️
Yes, welcome!! 🙏🏼
Welcome 🙏
Not even five minutes in & I want this man to narrate my life😂😂
Dr. Harrelson reminds me of my late father whom I just lost on 16 September. May the Good Lord bless his soul.
Boy you picked a crazy time to become a Catholic. Congratulations 🎉🎉 God bless you 🙏
@Kellycurran... You said it! When a person's seeking "more Jesus!" and the Sacraments… while bishops go ANTI the Deposit of Faith AND Morals AND respect for the Real Presence… you it's a serious quest for the Faith, Our Lord and His Church, Not any kind of social or emotional prompting.
May Our Lord and Our Lady bless✨and🛡️protect and strengthen💫him, his wife and his family always. It's gonna be a challenging journey! Yet, as Mother Angelica said (I think also St. John Bosco), God put us here right now so we would be great saints!
@@chriskozik2573 Well said my friend, I shall keep the young man , his family and you in my rosary. 🙏🙏
Holy Spirit is truly moving this man and his family! Alleluia!
I love Alan. His vocabulary and accent are wonderful. I could listen to him for hours. I have Protestant acquaintances that need to listen to his story. I absolutely agree with his feelings and description of Protestants, i.e., Strip Mall Christianity.
Wow. For the first hour you see an obsession over pipes from this man but his demeanor totally changes when he begins speaking about Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. Even more grand that his love for pipes. Amazing.
Hi Matt and Thursday, I’m not a Catholic. I belong to the Assyrian Church of the East but a big fan of the content and I’m highly respectful of all Apostolic churches. I noticed that much of the channel focuses on western Christianity and I would request you turn east and interview Fr. Ankido Sipo of the Chaldean Catholic Church and I think you would enjoy the conversation and history of the Mesopotamian church history.
I second the recommendation.
Thanks for the suggestion. matt is an eastern Catholic, and we regularly have on Eastern Catholic Priests and religious. I'd suggest one of the Episodes with Mother Natalia, a byzantine Catholic Nun, (I believe there are 3 of them now), or of the videos with Fr. Jason Charron, a Ukrainian Catholic Priest, Vesper Stamper is a practicing Christian in the Eastern Orthodox church, Dcn Nicholas Kotar is Russian Orthodox, Fr. Christian Kappas has also been on the show twice. I hope you'll enjoy those episodes!
Please absolutely get Malcolm Guite on the show! He is a very kindly and lovely man, full of insight and wisdom. He has a great appreciation for Tolkien, Lewis, Arthur and the Matter of England, and of course, Jesus Christ.
And yet he is not of the cult of papacy
The man has a voice of gold and an accent to match. He also has more knowledge and curiosity of the faith than many of those that attend Mass. He and his family will serve the Lord well, I believe. Godspeed, and Welcome all.
This man makes me proud to be a Catholic Kentuckian
My mother’s family is from KY and they are Catholic. The first mass ever said in Breckenridge county was in my ancestor’s parlor. My mother has a book on the Catholic history of Kentucky. God bless.
@thefreeman8791 what is the book called?
I would give copious bundles of money if I had this gentleman's accent. What a delight. His only defect is attending Mississippi State instead of Ole Miss. Dr. Harrelson was a Catholic through connaturality before he became a Catholic in fact. Glory be to God.
Matt, please thank Dr. Alan for his unintentional prayer suggestion,
1) A teachable Heart.
2) A Humble Spirit.
3) A compassion for others.
Hit the nail on the head. My mother was the most wonderful Christian you’d ever meet. She was an escapist. It was all about the next life. I used to hear one Preacher say “you can be so heavenly minded you’re no earthly good”.
If this guy isn't on at minimum once every 3 months I'm done with Pints, we have reached PEAK PINTS. You'll never top this man. Time to make him a regular or to end the show, lol.
Yes. This is a fact
Hear hear!
This is the way
He is our guy
Absolutely, they make a dynamic duo!
Oh my gosh. My face is going to crack open just watching this interview! I can't stop smiling. 😂
I lost it when he said automobile!😂
Rally round the vuginins!😂
Thought his accent was fake… then I heard him say he was from Southeastern Kentucky. I’m Appalachian , grandma was a West Virginian… it’s legit.
He's not from Kentucky. He's originally from South Carolina, as he stated in the interview.
He is from South Carolina. Recently moves to KY. I am from Central KY and a kentuckian accent is more beautiful. Lol
@@mr.kylestory4873 He's faking his accent NO ONE in south carolina sounds like that
@@MarkelBeverley I disagree
@@mr.kylestory4873 I'm from NC and go to SC all the time and have family there. Been going there my who life and no one sounds like that. Listen to it bro. Have you watched his old videos? listen to what he sounded like then compared to now. There is no way you think this is authentic.
Hearing all the wonderful people Matt brings on the show talk about "coming home" to the Catholic Church makes me feel so blessed to have been in the church my whole life. As well as that much more eager to continue to learn and seek Christ!
Yes. You are blessed.
30 minutes in and Alan is my favorite Pints guest ever. What a wonderful character. I love his insights
As a pipe smoker and lover of American history, I’ve been a fan of Dr. Harrelson for quite some time. I’m absolutely tickled with joy to see him on Pints with Aquinas, and to welcome him Home to Holy Mother Church. This episode was such a treat!
I told Cameron to have Matt interview Malcolm Guite a year or two ago, I’m so glad this interview makes that more possible. 🤩
The Austrappalachian accent combination going on in this room is too great. The universe is going to collapse under its weight.
Guest does not have an Appalachian accent, so...
@@PontifexByzantinus its literally fake lol
This might be hands down the most enjoyable interview I have watched to date! I don't smoke pipes (or anything!) and I don't drink whisky but this entire conversation has brought me so much joy! :)
Im 100% Jewish but have always been interested in Catholicism. I grew up in Philadelphia where many of my friends were Catholic. When I went to college, I took CCD classes with the Newman chaplain so I could develop a better understanding of the Church. Today I have great respect for the majesty of the Church and my Catholic friends beliefs and traditions.
You’re very fortunate that your wife was on board from the very beginning. Pray for mine. Been on the journey over 12 years and she stands firmly against my conversion. I’ve been patiently waiting and praying for her to be ready.
Prayers for the conversion of spouses.
I was nine years behind my husband coming into the Church. There was nothing he could have done to change my heart and mind. It was only when he released me totally into God's hands, did I feel free to begin to consider the possibility of " what if?" It's a painful journey. God bless the two of you.
Oh my goodness! Dr. Alan is such a sweet guy--and has a great sense of humor!
Thank you for sharing your journey, and God bless you!
Memories of my Dad as a Commander inthe USN and doing homework at his desk, being distracted as a third grader by his pipe resting there, and my Godfathers love of pipes. Love this session.
It makes me happy that there are still people around with this kind of accent.
Malcolm Guite and Matt, what a pod that would be!!!
What a treasure to wake up to this morning. I've followed Dr Harrelson for a little while now, a very insightful man.
Two of my favorite channels together ❤
I'm a new catholic and a new pipe smoker! Loved this interview.
Gotta have this Dr Harrelson on again for a History podcast!!!
@PintsWithAquinas About an hour and 20 minutes into the podcast Alan is dead right. Back in April I watched your interview with Steve McCaig, and after hearing his treaty of the Marian Dogmas I decided to join the Catholic Church. I'm starting OCIA this September. I credit St Benedict, Steve McCaig, Ethan Dolan, and you Matt for bringing me into the Church, and so many have come to the Church from your ministry.
Glory to Jesus Christ!
That’s awesome! Lots to learn about our Lord, Mary and the Saints who followed him through Catholicism! Praying for your journey!
@@AustinHeisinger Dominus vobiscum.
I'm only a few minutes in and as a hard atheist I know that I'm going to grow frustrated by many things stated throughout this conversation, but wow, I love this man's accent. So much nicer than my stereotypical British accent.
Lol. What are you doing on a Catholic podcast? Enemy research 😂
@@alvinmarshall9446 Do you only watch things you already agree with?
Billions of people believe in something that I don't, I want to hear why. How else do you suggest an atheist finds God if he's really there?
@@betadecay6503 He will find you. Don't run. Don't hide. Much love.
@@betadecay6503glad you’re here, pay no mind to jokesters. I pray for your conversion
@@Seliz463 Thank you, and thanks for the prayers. I want the truth, whatever that is. All of the evidence continually points away from any proposed religion so short of a personal experience I don't see how I could ever be converted.
I watch these types of shows to hear the arguments and reasons for people's beliefs but so far they're all terrible. At this point if God exists and wants me to believe, he's going to have to show up personally. If that is too much to ask then unfortunately he has set me up for failure.
My grandparents owned a bakery in a village in Germany. In the 1950ies, the people living there were still living like in the 19th century. My grandmother told me that she would meet kinds of people that you just don't meet today anymore.
One particular customer she told me about was an old man that had lost all of his teeth but one. On that tooth, he would hang his pipe with a thread and so every time he talked, the pipe would bounce up and down. I was reminded of this anecdote while listening to the stream.
Alan and Matt need to get together more often. My two favorite people on RUclips.
One of my favorite interviews you’ve had on this channel so far. So happy I clicked on it.
I could listen to this man for days….it’s not JUST the accent, it’s his annunciation and expression ❤️
What a beautiful story! Will be praying for him & his family
This was fabulous ! I smiled the whole interview ! Love your work
This episode hit the nail on the head and was so needed in my life right now. Have Alan back on the show again for sure.
This is literally THE best accent I have ever heart in the whole of my life. Could we get him to do an audio bible?
It's fake. No one where he is from sounds like that
Oh my goodness… “a teachable heart, a humble spirit and a compassion for other people”. Ooowweeeee. Absolutely going to be marinating on that quote for a little
Get this man on Hallow...PLEASE!
The crossover we need… Father Pine, Dr Alan, Scott Hahn, Jimmy Akin and Father Ripperger.
Yeeeeesss!!
Some of my very favorites too!
Dr. Harrelson needs to start a Shelby Foote style youtube history series
Great interview -- Welcome home Dr Harrelson!
As a cradle Catholic, I have to say that some of our Church's best appologists these days are converts.
These are difficult days for the Church (and the world). I think God is bringing you all home for a reason.
God Bless.
I think I need a GPS with Dr. Harrelson's voice, haha! I lived in Central NC for 7 amazing years of my childhood, and I had almost forgotten how lovely that accent sounded.
The accents in this podcast are off the chain!
"Buckle up buddy." The most glorious thing about this is how almost instantaneously Dr. Harrelson is now surrounded by an exquisite group of Catholic men. 30 minutes after making his announcement, the Steubenville network gathered him into the fold. Wow. Just wow. He's in for it.
This is a cross over I was not expecting but am delighted to find!
Man I love listening to Alan Harrelson. Similar story with me - why didn't someone ever tell me this Catholic stuff before? I came into full communion with the Catholic Church in April 2014. Welcome home brother Alan! BTW, I began smoking a pipe after watching his Pipe Cottage videos.
Dr. Harrelson is a fine Southern Gentleman. It was such a pleasure listening to his conversation with Matt.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Pints, and this might be my favorite interview. Very happy to hear of Dr. Harrelson’s journey! Praise God!
That dude's accent doesn't match him whatsoever. He sounds like a Southern aristocrat from the Civil War 😂
@@Death2Compromiseyes, that's exactly the point I was trying to convey, dolt.
@@revelation20232 Its fake I'm from NC and I believe he is from Sc and I can tell.
Oh my lord, this man is brilliant and I am fascinated. Bless him on his journey in the Catholic Church.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful conversation
Delightful! I always deeply enjoy Conversion talks but this man melted my heart and tears welled up several times. Praise be to our Triune God❣️
I looked up St.Helen’s Parish. Marvelous history! Founding women ‘converts’ gathered field stones to build the Church. But the best sign…daily confession times and Lots of Eucharistic Adoration hours ❣️
Bravo, Gentlemen and glory to God for this incredible interview. One of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. I wish it didn’t end! Thank you Alan and Matt! 🙏
I absolutely love the pipe cottage and joined the social network because of this man
I have watched this episode at least three times now. Easily one of my top 5 favorites. Superb!
Hey another son coming home, glad to see it brother.
This is one of my favorite episodes ever. Thank you for all the amazing people you have on, and please have the good doctor back soon! Praying for him as he enters the church 🙏🏻
I am a descendant of Bernard Bee’s brother, Hamilton. This is a great interview!! I will keep this lovely man and his family in my prayers.
I have similar reservations of joining the catholic church.. i come from a protestant as well and id imagine my mom would freak out once she hears that im going through RCIA. The later half of the interview was very comforting to me. Thank you and Alan and Matt
Of course his accent is delightful but his smile is infectious.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Not seen or heard this guest before but what a great character. I'm well into my sixties and I think I'm going to buy my first pipe after watching this.
