Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 154
Fr Anthony is funnier than ever, Taylor yells at him, a priest more popular than him comes on the show…FUN TIMES! Fr Rob Galea shares the story of redemption that led him from gangs, addiction and depression to a beautiful life in the priesthood. Everett Fritz rejoins the show to talk about common struggles in prayer and how we actually may know more than we think.
Fr. Anthony was in a mood and boi did he deliver! In one of our funnier recent episodes, Taylor yells at Fr. Anthony for stealing his content which is a perfect segway into a conversation on imperfections.
Our guest this week made Fr. Anthony jealous because he's a more famous priest than him. Fr. Rob Galea is a world-renowned musician, speaker and media creator. He was the priest you may have seen on Australian X-Factor, has performed for the Pope and still finds time to hear confessions. He shares the story of redemption that led him from gangs, addiction and depression to a beautiful life in the priesthood. Check him out at FRGMinistry.com.
We have a special treat this episode in having TWO guests! Everett Fritz rejoins the show to talk about common struggles we have in knowing what to say in personal prayer and the difficulty Catholics often have with praise. He shows us we actually know more than we think we do.
BONUS-Due to Fr. Anthony's big boi mood, the commercials in this episode are straight fire!!!

Kaitlyn “Tea With Tolkien” Facista rejoins the show with Fr. Anthony and Taylor to break the Catholic internet! Discussions include looking back at crappy situations, video games, things Taylor knows nothing about, the Silmarillion and the swamp pit of social media. Yay!
Fr. Anthony co-hosts as he and Taylor start the show looking back at crappy situations and realizing how they actually helped us. It gives us insight into how we handle these difficult situations.
Then in the second segment, we welcome back(to Fr. Anthony's surprise) Kaitlyn Facista, lovingly known as Tea with Tolkien! With the King and Queen of Catholic Twitter united, our goal is to break the internet, and challenge Matt Fradd's kingdom! We talk the video game versions of Tolkien, uncover how little Taylor actually knows about LOTR and Kaitlyn saves a sinking ship by taking over and showing us how Catholic thought is immersed in the Silmarillion.
In the final segment, college freshmen Blaine Tamez rejoins the show to talk about some of the issues he's been seeing in our social media culture and makes Fr. Anthony do layman things. It's beautiful.

Liv Harrison is back as guest co-host! Her and Taylor start the show by sharing their odd confession/adoration experience minutes before the show started. It was wild and sparks a discussion on distractions when trying to be holy.
The rest of the show, we talk about community & friendship.

It gave us great insight into some issues we have had before in relationships and tiffs. Tune in to laugh, learn a bit about yourself & your friends and....uh...laugh again.
