Third Space

By Paul Fahey

In the Third Space we will discuss the good and the ugly in the Church. We will live in the grey—avoiding easy answers and black and white fundamentalism—in order to hold on to all that is true.

Paul Fahey is a co-founder of WherePeterIs.com, one of the best websites in the Catholic media space, and PFG is a podcast and a newsletter for Catholics who struggle with their religious identity.

Mike Lewis Extra

You only have to pay if you want to. All content is free. This is the stuff I write that I didn't publish on WPI. Heavy on repurposed tweet threads and overlong website comments. Proofreading may vary.

Mike Lewis is a Catholic journalist and the cofounder of WherePeterIs.com. He’s someone whose work gives me hope. Right now I hope he starts Substacking more frequently.

Alissa Wilkinson is straight up brilliant and one of the best film writers today. She came to The New York Times via Christianity Today and Vox, and her voice bears traces of that history that make it unique. Her professorial past is in there too.
