Description

Suan Sonna is a Baptist convert to Catholicism who is dedicated to curating the best Catholic intellectual content on philosophy, politics, and theology. He is also passionate about engaging people outside of the Catholic tradition on issues relevant to the Church. On Nov. 10th, 2022, I received permission from my Archbishop to call the channel "Intellectual Catholicism." He said, "I am not opposed to you calling your channel 'Intellectual Catholicism'."
