Bio

Thomas V. Mirus is a writer and podcaster living in New York City. He is President of Trinity Communications, Editor-in-Chief for CatholicCulture.org, and director of the Catholic Culture Podcast Network.

Thomas brings a wide range of interests, breadth of understanding, and conscientious study to both his writing and his podcasting. Particular areas of interest include the arts, Church history, the nature of hierarchy, and the rediscovery of longstanding Catholic teachings which have been neglected in recent decades.

Beginning in 2018 with the Catholic Culture Podcast (his interview show covering diverse topics), Thomas has developed a whole network of podcasts for CatholicCulture.org, including two others which he hosts: Lives of the Popes and Criteria: The Catholic Film Podcast. As a producer, he developed Way of the Fathers and Catholic Culture Audiobooks.

He replaced his father, Jeffrey Mirus, as President of Trinity Communications in 2023.

Thomas has a bachelor’s degree in jazz piano and played music professionally for a number of years. He wrote and performed the theme music for the Catholic Culture Podcast (download the full soundtrack here). In 2019 he played piano on Mark Christopher Brandt’s classical suite, The Butterfly.

Writing

Some of Thomas’s more substantial writings for CatholicCulture.org have included essays on feminism, the relationship between the Church and the Jewish people, developments in Christian filmmaking, and the mystery of music. He also has written ongoing multi-part series (articles and podcasts) on the lives of the Popes and the magisterium of Pope Leo XIII.
