Our Take on Pope Francis
November 3rd, 2017 | 1 hr 6 mins
ambiguity, amoris, fr. weinandy, pope francis
Witty banter for 12 minutes, then Luke essentially interviews Gomer for his thoughts on Pope Francis and this new wave of confusion that's happening. We love so much about Pope Francis, buuuuuuuuuut. And it's that "but" that troubles us.

Episode 113: Your Questions Answered! Poorly!
October 27th, 2017 | 1 hr 5 mins
fr james martin, purity rings, stranger things 2, weinstein
We took 20+ questions from our listeners on Facebook and tried to answer as many as possible. No, this isn't 10 minute topics, because we abandoned the timer long ago. It's just your questions, like: stuff about Fr. James Martin, horse-sized ducks, stranger things 2, the fall of white male Hollywood, Matt Fradd, Purity Culture/slut-shaming/why we only hear about the virtue of chastity, human formation, Star Wars 8, and why Matt Field and his Fiance Clare are such badasses!

Get a glass of booze ready, because in today’s show we interview Pastor Joey Svendsen from the BAD CHRISTIAN podcast, which describes itself as Post-Christian, or Post-Evangelical, or maybe just Post-Bible-Belt-Evangelicalism. Luke totally fanboys. Gomer nervously talks too much. And Joey keeps his cool.

We discuss the events surrounding Las Vegas and gun control laws in the US. And end with our very favorite fan, Sugar Garcia, heading to the Holy Land and she wants to carry your prayer intentions with her! So come on, Syrophoenicians, let's do this!

After listening to our show on the Convocation of Catholic Leaders, Brandon Vogt reaches out to us to explain and to reach some common ground between what was presented on the "Nones" panel and Luke's take away.
