Honky Tonk Confessional, Coolness & Old Church w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 366
Taylor has some confessions to make! Two extremely repressed (for good reason) memories just resurfaced & he wanted to share them with you & Fr. Anthony. They debate which of them are cooler & what coolness has to do with living out our faith. They also talk about how old our Church is, some of the things about it that have made it stand the test of time that might also be the same reasons we get frustrated with it. Fr. Anthony shares some good ol' fancy Catholic words that Taylor (and you!) have to guess what they mean.
Taylor has some confessions to make! Two extremely repressed (for good reason) memories just resurfaced and he wanted to share them with you & Fr. Anthony. They both involve musical performances from Jr High/High School. Fr. Anthony is TRULY shocked by one of them!
They also debate which of them are cooler. After hearing stories about both of their childhoods, they discuss "coolness" and what makes someone cool in childhood & how it may be different than in adulthood. They also discuss what our faith has to do with "coolness" and a revelation Taylor had that shouldn't be a revelation.
Finally, they talk about how old our Church is, some of the things about it that have made it stand the test of time that might also be the same reasons we get frustrated with it. Fr. Anthony shares some good ol fancy Catholic words that Taylor (and you!) have to guess what they mean.
This was a really fun episode to record and we hope that you enjoy it! :)

Taylor Schroll & Fr. Anthony Sciarappa kick off the show by sharing about their fun anger management issues. Funny stories of when rage and anger boiled, the outcomes and what strategies they've learned to quell their rage.
Next they bring back a fun game creatively called "fancy Catholic words." Fr. Anthony gives Taylor random Catholic words no one has ever heard and Taylor has to define them. Hilarity ensues AND you will learn random Catholic facts you can use to impress your two friends.
Finally, they have a conversation around the topic "Is faith a blind leap?" Is it? How do reason and faith correlate? We hope you enjoy this conversation. Have a great week y'all!

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 232
Fr. Anthony quizzes Taylor on fancy Catholic words and it...doesn't go well. Sam Blair, an ex-Navy Seal and leadership coach for an NBA team joins the show to talk about grit and Fr. Anthony talks to Taylor about comedy in evangelization.
Fr. Anthony quizzes Taylor on fancy Catholic words and it...was something. lol. One of the more fun games we've come up with in a while. Do you know the meaning of more of these words than a guy with a Theology degree? The answer is...probably...
Sam Blair of The Frassati Company joins Taylor for a conversation on grit, heartiness & resilience. Taylor thought those words were synonyms but the ex-Seal and current leadership development expert taught him otherwise. This is a great conversation for us to continue to grow in our current situation.
Finally, Taylor & Fr. Anthony discuss using comedy to open people up for the Gospel.
