Bad Evangelization & Lost at Sea w/ Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 389
Live from Pittsburgh! Taylor suggests seven Catholic things and asks Father Anthony whether they are more helpful for evangelization or more of a hinderance. Also, Taylor has a new scenario where we explore the grey area of Catholic morality: being stranded at sea.
Live from Pittsburgh!
Taylor visits Fr. Anthony and they record from the rectory. Taylor suggests seven Catholic things and asks Father whether they are more helpful for evangelization or more of a hinderance. They agree on a few, disagree on other but have good conversations about all.
Then, in honor of last year's discussion on the morality of the zombie apocalypse, this year Taylor has a new scenario where we explore the grey area of Catholic morality: being stranded at sea. This is inspired by a true story of men stranded at sea after killer whales attacked their boat and the incredible yet horrifying story of their survival.
