About

Hello!

Welcome to PaulMurano.com

This site is dedicated to the millions of innocent people killed before birth each year by surgical and chemical abortion (including by abortifacient “contraceptives”), and through the IVF process. We deeply mourn their loss and profoundly suffer its consequences as a society.

A little about me:  I am simply a curious truth seeker and always have been, embracing faith and reason and following it to wherever it leads. There is nothing more important than to discover and conform to the truth. It’s the only way to be free (Jn 8:32). My aim here is to provide a forum to share thoughts, ideas, and reasoned discussion for people with adult minds and childlike hearts.

It’s extremely important to ask the big questions of life. I have spent decades discussing them as a college instructor of ethics, philosophy and theology, a radio and TV talk host, a newspaper columnist, a teacher of adult education and catechesis, a commentator and blogger on social media, and an author of four books (and counting).

Much of my work goes under the title and branding of ‘Beneath the Surface’ with Paul Murano.  It is beneath the surface where faith and reason meet, and where truth, life, and love are one.

While I appreciate mystery, I highly value clarity. As talk host Dennis Prager often says, “I prefer clarity to agreement.” It is ‘clear’ that I ‘agree’ with this.  🙂

In my spare time I play guitar and sing oldies and originals. Musically, I’ve been influenced by the simple and melodious rock/pop of the 1960’s and 70’s – the genre of the Beatles, the Monkees, James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Jim Croce, and the like.

With regard to formal education, I have a Ph.D. in philosophy, a master’s degree in philosophy, a master’s in theology, a certification in health care ethics from the National Catholic Bioethics Center; and an A.B.D. from a doctoral program in systematic theology.

Lastly, St. Edith Stein once mentioned that we can reach God through thinking as a form of prayer. On this note, my fellow truth-seekers, feel free to share thoughts and ideas with me in this gift of an electronic medium, beneath the surface – where faith and reason meet.

Peace,

Paul
