What Heaven Is REALLY Like (According to St. Anselm) | Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB

Benedictine monk and scholar, Fr. Robert Nixon OSB, joins Conor to explore the life and legacy of St. Anselm of Canterbury—a brilliant theologian, Archbishop, and defender of the Church’s freedom against secular overreach.

Known for formulating the famous Ontological Argument for God’s existence, Anselm’s thought reaches far beyond philosophy into the depths of the spiritual life. Drawing from works like The Passion of Christ through the Eyes of Mary and The Glories of Heaven, this conversation opens up a powerful vision of Christ’s suffering and the ultimate goal of the Christian life: Heaven—offering both intellectual clarity and a renewed call to holiness.
