Our relationship is complicated. When our guest was in college with Luke and I, we never really talked or hung out. In fact, we all thought his sister was a lot cooler than him. But that was only because we never met him. However, after this podcast, we still like his sister more.

He's a Canon Lawyer and really, really knows his Simpsons' references. He won the spouse lottery and also has two adorable kids that they have adopted.

In this episode we cover annulments and marriage issues, culture and its relationship to Christianity, gay parenting and marriage, the Simpsons, and much, much more.

We return to that topic that we most hate about ourselves: pornography. After seeing the massive response our dear listeners gave us for episode 8, we thought that some follow up was necessary. I wanted to add a little bit of grace and conversion to the conversation that I felt like was lacking in the previous episode.

We also talk about the power parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15. We reference "The Prodigal Son" by Henri Nouwen, and then do some more Bane impressions.

Thanks to www.BenSounds.com for the theme music. Thanks to MeWithoutYou for the 8 second clip of Torches Together. You should really listen to them.

Oh Man! This episode is intense! We had a whole group of topics that we wanted to talk about but haven't gotten around to them and so we came up with a new game plan. We spend 10 minutes on a topic and switch between pop culture and churchy stuff, taking turns on who picks what topic to discuss. 

We cover things like:

• why EWTN only makes shows for old people that eat Werther's Originals,
• institutional racism and the shooting of Sam DuBose,
• YDisciple founder Jim Beckman, superhero of Catholic youth ministry
• weddings, wedding fights, and marriage,
• Luke's slight stutter and my "slight" weight gain,
• a spoiler review of the movie Ant-Man and its almost anti-Paul-Ruddism,
• Which immediately became about the Marvel Comic Universe, specially Avengers 2
• and the upcoming DC movies- Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, 
• Parish life and reaching the people on the margins of faith
• Then back to talk about The Joker and Suicide Squad.

This episode is a heartbreaker. We share as honestly as possible what went wrong in our lives when it came to human sexuality: A.K.A. Pornography.

Porn is in our face and easily reachable by our broadband, HD technicolor Internet connections. We talk about this subject in a very humble and even humiliating way, trying not to dodge the issue. Also, this conversation gives Luke yet another reason to use the word "Authentic". Pretty soon he's going to go full hipster and just call it "Artisanal." We end it on a light-hearted note as I yell at Luke for not making me his Best Man and he yells at me for not making him a godfather to one of my four kids.

Thanks again to BenSounds.com for the theme music!

Our first interview show ever! With a real guest and not Luke pretending to be a Marvel character!

Ahem.

Tonight we interview Arleen Spenceley, journalist and author of the recently published book, "Chastity is for Lovers" from Ave Maria Press. She has to deal with a lot in this episode from us, so you should buy her book as our way of saying "Sorry."

Special Guest: Arleen Spenceley.
