Online Haters & Spiritual Growth w/Allison Sullivan | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 322
Taylor & Allison discuss their differing approaches to dealing with haters online, Allison’s recent ADHD diagnosis and they share their ideas for spiritual growth in 2023.
Allison & Taylor chat about their holiday break and Allison's recent ADHD diagnosis. They also talk about dealing with haters online & the mix of comedy & responsibility online. This all stems from a recent video Allison made on TikTok that made waves. Our hosts share their differing approaches to how to deal with hatred online.
They also discuss a new initiative at their parish and how it can be used as a good barometer for all of us to focus on spiritual growth in the new year.

Fr. Anthony Sciarappa & Taylor Schroll discuss the best hate mail the show has ever received, a very odd Mass experience Taylor had and they play their "Is That a Sin" game!
Fr. Anthony Sciarappa & Taylor Schroll share their thoughts on last week's episode 300 celebration. They also discuss the love they received from the episode & the best piece of hate mail the show has ever gotten!
Taylor shares the story about the Sunday Mass he went to on vacation about how it made him feel like he was in the Matrix! Everything about the experience was just a bit odd or strange. He shares the strange story with Fr. Anthony to get his thoughts on the matter.
Finally, they play the "Is This a Sin?" game where Taylor presents hypothetical scenarios that may or may not be from his personal life and asks if the decisions made were sinful or not. This may be Fr. Anthony's favorite segment we ever do on the show. We hope you enjoy it! :)

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 140
Fr. Anthony co-hosts to join Taylor in discussions on imaginative prayer and reverence vs. familiarity with Christ and how the two may have to work together. This week’s guest is Sam Guzman of the Catholic Gentleman to explain to Taylor what toxic masculinity is and how to change it.
Fr. Anthony co-hosts and Taylor has been saving a story for a month just for this moment with Padre. He shares a story of attending a Mass that had some odd quirks and made him think about the relationship between reverence and familiarity with Christ and how the two can sometimes feel at odds.
This week’s guest is Sam Guzman of the Catholic Gentleman to explain to Taylor what toxic masculinity actually is and how to change it. Sam has been doing great stuff for Catholic men for years. Be sure to check out his website with all kinds of resources for Catholic dudes.
In the final segment, the guys talk about imaginative prayer, Taylor’s struggles with it and we laugh at/with Peter(what’s new?). This is a new style of prayer for Taylor and Fr. Anthony is quite encouraging(yep, you read that right).
