Liturgical Music & Catholic Superstitions w/ Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 387
Taylor shares about a cool "crossover Mass" that the local Catholic school does and then yells about the music at Mass. He has a new rant for Fr. Anthony who tries to help him out with this issue and a strange superstition Taylor has about prayer. Is anyone else as crazy as this?!?!

Wrestling, Word Association & Wild Claims w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 353
Fr. Anthony tries to make a WWE fan out of Taylor with mixed results. They play a new Catholic word association game that reveals maybe a little too much & Taylor makes some wild claims about Jesus again including about the Lord’s qualifications, liturgy preferences, views on healing ministry, Catholic conferences and more!
When Taylor visited Fr. Anthony in Pittsburgh, Father made him watch wrestling for the first time and it was an...interesting experience to say the least. They talk about how it was going well for a while until...well...then it wasn't lol.
The guys introduce a new game: Catholic Word Association. They have some ho-hum answers but some that get them all riled up that they discuss for a while. A wide gamut of topics!
Finally, Taylor shares some wild claims about himself & Jesus. Comparing yourself to Jesus ALWAYS goes well. He also makes claims about Jesus' liturgical preferences, His views on lights in Church, healing ministry & Catholic conferences. It's a blast!

Liturgical Abuse, Priest Formation & Leadership w/Bearded Blevins & Fr. Anthony | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 296
Fr. Anthony, Bearded Blevins & Taylor team up for this episode where they discuss liturgical abuse, how priest formation takes too long but often isn't enough & share a story about sacrificial leadership. And speaking of leadership...is Pope Francis retiring soon!?!?
Fr. Anthony is still in Texas so he teams up with Taylor & Jon to discuss a wide variety of topics. The start off with a hilarious video that swept the Catholic internet last week of a priest sharing the most hilarious intercessions at Mass. This leads to a discussion of liturgical abuse and what we can do about it(and what Jon has already done!)
Next, Taylor posits that priest seminary formation takes way too long and yet often isn't enough. The three amigos put their heads together to try and find a middle ground solution.
To close the show, they discuss a recent interview with the awesome head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin. It's a story about how he held out one of his stars players from a game because it was what was best for the player. A true sign of leadership. And speaking of leadership...is Pope Francis retiring soon?!?!
We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

We talk Super Bowl, ad orientem Mass, and simple things that should have occurred to Taylor about the liturgy years ago but didn't until this week.
Our guest this week is David Bates: British Catholic, fancy word user, owner of glasses which make him seem believable, & former self-proclaimed unemployed hobo. Tune in for his accent, stay for his eloquent words on why C.S. Lewis is the man! Check out his podcast and videos at Restless Pilgrim.
