Holy Week & Why We're Catholic w/ Kathryn Whitaker | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 381
Taylor & Kathryn reflecting on the Holiest of Weeks on the Church calendar, explaining why we became Catholic & stick with it after all this time.
Taylor & Kathryn sit down to kick off Holy Week and share their favorite (and least favorite) parts of this special week! They rank the liturgies of the Triduum, explain why they enjoy each one & share what's on their hearts and minds as they head into this week.
They also discuss the very different reasons they both became Catholic but then the oddly similar reasons that they remain Catholic.
We hope you have a blessed Holy Week! We're praying for you. Please pray for us.

Holy Week, Freestyle Preaching & Healing w/Fr Anthony & Fr Harrison | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 286
Happy Holy Week y'all! Here is our "Holy Weak" episode discussing our favorite(and most annoying) parts of Holy Week. We also discuss healing and if we should be asking for miraculous healings. And Fr. Harrison Ayre joins us to play our Freestyle Preaching game against his Clerically Speaking cohost, Fr. Anthony :)
We're back! After taking a week off due to Taylor having the plague, he and Fr. Anthony Sciarappa kick off our Holy Week episode by discussing healing. There are many stories of healing in the Scriptures but do they still happen today? Should we be asking for miraculous healings? What happens if we ask for healing and it doesn't come? They dive into a discussion on these deep issues.
In the next segment, Fr. Anthony is surprised to find out that this week's guest is none other than his Clerically Speaking cohost, Fr. Harrison Ayre. Fr. Harrison has been discussing preaching off the cuff more so Taylor invited him to challenge Fr. Anthony to our Freestyle Preaching game where they each take turns giving 60 second sermons but the catch is they have to include three random words that Taylor gives them. Priest vs. Priest preach-off. This is not a segment you want to miss!
Finally, Taylor and Fr. Anthony discuss their favorite parts of Holy Week: the veneration of the cross, welcoming people into the Church, etc. They also air some grievances about some of the things they'd like to nitpick about Holy Week. And to close it out, Fr. Anthony shares one of the strangest Holy Week customs Taylor has ever heard! Enjoy and have a blessed Holy Week!

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 184
Liv Harrison joins Taylor to share their strange experiences of Holy Week and play a new game. Comedian Jeremy McLellan rejoins the show to bring us joy. Happy Easter from all of us at Forte Catholic! :)
Liv Harrison joins Taylor Schroll as cohost to chat about their respective Holy Week(Weak) celebrations. Pretty sad and difficult, but there's always a silver lining :)
Comedian Jeremy McLellan returns to the show to fix our sadness with his comedy brilliance, and how he is learning and growing as a person during the quarantine.
The final segment, Liv and Taylor continue the fun by forcing each other to pick between two things...a game that has been going around social media that Liv brought into Taylor's life...so he used it to torture her ;)
