Why Purgatory?

Posted on November 3, 2023November 10, 2023 by Paul Murano 1 Comment
A disobedient child is forgiven after being contrite for playing in the mud after being ordered by his parents not to do so. Although he’s been forgiven, he’s still not allowed to enter into the pristine atmosphere of the family dining room – until he serves a small punishment, takes a bath, and changes his filthy […]...

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”). 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 following reason wherever it leads. There is nothing more important than to discover the truth and to conform one’s life to it. My aim here is to provide a forum to share thoughts, ideas, and reasoned discussion for people with adult minds and childlike hearts.

I have never shied away from asking the big questions of life, nor should you. What’s more important? For the past twenty-five years I have been discussing them as a college instructor of philosophy, ethics 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 a public speaker.

Much of my work goes under the title and branding of ‘Beneath the Surface’ with Paul Murano.  It is beneath the surface where we find that faith and reason meet, and that 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 hits and originals as a solo act. 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, and one in theology, a certification in health care ethics from the National Catholic Bioethics Center; and an A.B.D. from a Ph.D. program in systematic theology.

E-mail me if you find yourself looking for a speaker to delve beneath the surface….. or a musician to remain above it.

Lastly, St. Edith Stein once mentioned that we can reach God through thinking as a form of prayer. Therefore, my fellow truth-seekers, let us prayerfully think together in this electronic medium where faith and reason meet.

Peace to you and your family,

Paul
