Finally, they end the show sharing their differing opinions on Matt Rife's new special. He has been called to be "cancelled" over some of his jokes. Allison agrees, Taylor thinks it might be taking it a bit too far. They talk about where comedy & morality mix & when they clearly don't.

Cult Leaders, Pipe Organs & Our Pilgrimage to Rome w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 305

Taylor & Fr. Anthony have a HUGE announcement in this week's episode! But first, Taylor has to complain about the flooding in his house and how he blames Fr. Anthony for it.
Once he is done complaining, they announce that Forte Catholic is going on pilgrimage to Rome next summer! We want you all to join us for a wonderful trip to Rome, Assisi, Florence & Tuscany in June of 2023. More info at ForteCatholic.com/travel.
Following this big announcement, Taylor follows it up with another announcement: he is now a cult leader! Well, in a video game at least... He tells Fr. Anthony about it and asks if it was sinful or bad for him to be playing this game that clearly has some things in it that oppose our faith.
They end the show with a silly hodgepodge of topics involving pipe organs, the alphabet, maydays and more. We hope you enjoy this episode! :)

300th Episode Celebration! w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa, Allison Sullivan, Jon Blevins & Liv Harrison
All of the Forte Catholic hosts unite for a rare episode recorded with all of them involved! This leads to a lot of hilarity, great stories and a fair amount of insanity. They reminisce about favorite moments on the show, play a “Guess Which Cohost” trivia game and take their best shot at our "Life Verse" challenge.
All the cohosts together to reminisce, laugh and annoy one another ;) The Forte Catholic hosts unite for a rare episode recorded with all of them involved! This leads to a lot of hilarity, great stories and a fair amount of insanity. They kick off the episode sharing some favorite memories of the show and how much they've all changed since it launched in 2016.
Next, they play a "get to know the cohosts" game where they each submitted random facts about themselves to Taylor before the show. He presents them to the group and they have to guess which host that statement belonged to. We learned a lot of strange, random and concerning things about our fellow hosts.
Finally, they play a staple game of the show: Life Verse. They each have to pick a random verse from Scripture and apply it to one of the other hosts' lives. It's somehow a perfect combination of earnestness, spiritual depth & stupidity.
We hope you enjoy this episode! :) Thanks for listening today and for all the support you've given us over the last 300 episodes. We love y'all! :)

Fr. Anthony and Taylor talk video games and an update on Taylor’s spiritual and physical health(including an impromptu live weighing). Taylor kinda goes off the rails at some point and it’s fun to hear Fr. Anthony try to reign him in. Comedian Aaron Weber rejoins the show to bring us some deep, hearty laughter :)
Fr. Anthony & Taylor have been playing many a video game during the quarantine and Taylor tries to justify it by making it sound spiritual and finding in the games positive and negative parallels to his spiritual life. He also weighs himself live on the show(unplanned) to see how he's doing physically during the lockdown.(It's wild!)
Comedian Aaron Weber stops by the show again. The point of bringing him on was to bring joy and levity during a time we all need it, but instead Fr. Anthony yells at people and tries to teach Aaron things. Poor Fr. Anthony. But Aaron still brings deep, hearty laughter. :)
In the final segment, Taylor kinda goes off the rails and Father tries desperately to keep him and the show on track.
