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.

Fr. Anthony & Taylor discuss what we should be focusing on during this extended Easter season, the questions of if the benefits of indulgences are worth the confusion & the morality of addiction.

Fr. Anthony joins Taylor for a discussion on what we should be focusing on during the extended Easter season. Taylor also shares a strange insight about the people who grew up around Jesus during the "lost years" of his childhood/teen/young adult years.

Taylor also asks Fr. Anthony about indulgences:

-What are they?

-Why the bad rap?

-Are they worth the confusion?

They also discuss the morality of addiction, especially when addiction leads to other sins. It is a complicated and nuanced discussion on sin, culpability & the depths of the moral life.
