Holy Week, Freestyle Preaching & Healing w/Fr Anthony & Fr Harrison | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 286

Happy Holy Week y'all! Here is our "Holy Weak" episode discussing our favorite(and most annoying) parts of Holy Week. We also discuss healing and if we should be asking for miraculous healings. And Fr. Harrison Ayre joins us to play our Freestyle Preaching game against his Clerically Speaking cohost, Fr. Anthony :)

We're back! After taking a week off due to Taylor having the plague, he and Fr. Anthony Sciarappa kick off our Holy Week episode by discussing healing. There are many stories of healing in the Scriptures but do they still happen today? Should we be asking for miraculous healings? What happens if we ask for healing and it doesn't come? They dive into a discussion on these deep issues.

In the next segment, Fr. Anthony is surprised to find out that this week's guest is none other than his Clerically Speaking cohost, Fr. Harrison Ayre. Fr. Harrison has been discussing preaching off the cuff more so Taylor invited him to challenge Fr. Anthony to our Freestyle Preaching game where they each take turns giving 60 second sermons but the catch is they have to include three random words that Taylor gives them. Priest vs. Priest preach-off. This is not a segment you want to miss!

Finally, Taylor and Fr. Anthony discuss their favorite parts of Holy Week: the veneration of the cross, welcoming people into the Church, etc. They also air some grievances about some of the things they'd like to nitpick about Holy Week. And to close it out, Fr. Anthony shares one of the strangest Holy Week customs Taylor has ever heard! Enjoy and have a blessed Holy Week!

Married Priests, Heaven, Reading Lips & CHVRCH w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 281

Taylor has a lot of off-the-wall questions for Fr. Anthony Sciarappa from married priests, to weird Catholic spelling choices to random thoughts on Heaven. It's quite a fun journey as Taylor tries to entrap Fr. Anthony with his questions. They also play a new game that is either the best thing or worse thing we have ever done.

Taylor has a lot of off-the-wall questions for Fr. Anthony Sciarappa. How do celibate priests feel about married priests? Why do Catholics have to be so weird sometimes(ex. misspell normal words)? And finally, Taylor tries to trap Fr. Anthony in a question about Heaven. Fun!

They also introduce a brand new game that you'll either love or hate called "Read my Lips." They take turns explaining basic Catholic terms to each other, but the twist is, the other person has their volume turned all the way down so it's all based on reading the lips of the other person. This game was hilarious to play. We're interested to hear if you love or hate it lol.

Thanks for watching/listening! Y'all rock! :)

Liv cohosts as Taylor shares about a recent funeral he attended and dealing with tragedy/grief. They also discuss the often hidden gem of Lectio Divina and looking back at moments from the past to remember the good God has done for us.

The show starts on a bit of a somber note this week. Taylor recently attended a funeral and shares a bit about the experience, grieving the loss of someone and the difficulties many people face with mental health.

Finally, Taylor talks about a random moment that brought him back to an encounter with God from 2004. This brings about a conversation about returning to memories of times when we felt God's presence during periods of darkness.

Bored at Mass, Auxiliary Bishops & Worst Dates w/Jon Blevins | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 278

Usually it's Jon bringing the hot takes but this week Taylor is unhinged and Jon is incredibly pastoral. They discuss a common trope about boring Masses that Taylor no longer agrees with & how auxiliary bishops are pretty much made up. This leads to questioning if some of the Church's rules are pharisaical or not. They also discuss their best and worst dates ever in preparation for Valentine's Day.

Usually it's Jon bringing the hot takes but Taylor has some things to get off his chest this week. Spicy!

They kick it off with a conversation about the phrase "If you're bored at Mass, you'll be bored in Heaven." It's a common phrase from people in ministry and online personalities but Taylor doesn't agree with it anymore and he explains why.

Next, they discuss how strange the idea of auxiliary bishops actually is and Taylor argues that Bishops making up rules for their comfort makes him wonder why he has to follow random Catholic rules. Are the rules Pharisaical? The convo includes thoughts on fasting requirements and...NFP!?!?

Finally, as this is the last episode before Valentine's Day, Jon & Taylor both share their best and worst ever date stories and how they met their wives.

Enjoy this episode with unhinged Taylor and incredibly pastoral Jon!

The Internet, Alpha & Catholic Fantasy Draft w/Jon Blevins | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 275

In Jon's favorite episode in months, the guys talk about how we take the internet for granted, the parish evangelization tool Alpha that is growing in popularity & play a new game "Catholic Fantasy Draft" where they choose Catholic heroes for their fantasy football teams.

Jon said this was his favorite episode in a while! Taylor kicks off the show with how he's been thinking deeply about the internet and how we take it for granted. It really is incredible the things we can do with it and we never really give it a second thought.

Next, they discuss the parish program growing in popularity, Alpha. Taylor's parish is starting it this week and Jon has led it a few times at his parish so Taylor picks his brain about it. What worked, what didn't and the importance of the work of pre-evangelization.

To close the show, they play a new game called "Catholic Fantasy Draft." They each drafted Catholic heroes from the Scriptures and Church History to play on their fantasy football team. It was a grand ol time!

Typology, Life Verse, & Biblical Questions w/Dr. Michael Dauphinais & Allison Sullivan | Forte Catholic Ep 274

New biblical insight into Baptism, a ridiculous Scripture game & a Doctor to make us all smarter

Allison Sullivan cohosts what is guaranteed to be one of our best two shows of 2022 thus far! One of the bedrocks of this show is Scripture and we realized we haven't focused on it in a while so this whole episode is focused on the Bible.

We kick it off with a new insight into typology of Baptism in the Old Testament that Taylor never knew about for 30+ years and that made him feel dumb. They also explain what typology is and why it's not typography like Taylor thought...

Our guest this week is Dr. Michael Dauphinais. He is the head of the Theology department at Ave Maria University(where Taylor's wife went to school). He and Taylor discuss biblical answers to some typical questions about Catholicism in a way that will actually be helpful with your friends and not just make you look smart amongst other Catholics.

Finally, Allison rejoins the show for the return of our Life Verse game where we randomly find a bible verse and apply it to someone's life. Hilarity ensues!

It snowed in central Texas where Taylor and Allison live and they share how wonderful it was for them and their families! Then they talk about CUSSIN! It's an interesting conversation that probably a bit different than what you heard in youth group. Finally, Taylor shares the "State of the Podcast"

Finally, Taylor tries to talk with Liv about how salvation would work in the multiverse but she just gets confused. Enjoy! :)

#6

Fr. Anthony & Taylor discuss the premise "real men only compliment each other behind their backs." They play an absolutely wild game of Forte/Mezzo/Piano with flaming hot takes from a rocket scientist. Finally, you've heard the Pange Lingua but have no idea what it means. We're gonna change that.

#5

The show starts off with a convo about how sometimes holy people have no idea what's going on. Taylor is fed up with cancel culture and is very disappointed in Fr. Anthony.

#4

Taylor & Fr. Anthony answer what to in regards to lukewarm Christianity, engagements & Nickelback songs.

#3

Taylor has a lot of things to yell about and Fr. Anthony has some answers.

Edmund Mitchell joins the show to talk about his new project making the catechism more easily approachable so we can dive into the richness of our faith.

#2

Liv cohosts a tremendous episode tackling a wide variety of topics. From her nickname to "daddy God" to memes and the Apocalypse, this episode has something for everyone. Tea with Tolkien and Pints with Jack join us to debate which author is superior!

#1

Taylor flew to Pittsburgh to celebrate Fr. Anthony's 5th anniversary and recorded this episode in the Sciarappa home while they were together. They discuss the Catholic view on gambling, a blast from the past & Taylor's pet peeve of using effeminacy as a derogatory term.
