Catholic Hitch

This week, after a shout-out to Kit's favorite saint, Dale and Kit share about their separate Saturdays (Kit at a retreat, Dale alone with kids).  Then Dale talks Heavy Death Metal, and the surprising Christian gems of metal music (links to some examples below).

• Playing With Fire Movie (Not a Metal Band, but Dale watched it with the kids, said it was funny) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd5GlZUpfaM
• Demon Hunter - Storm the Gates of Hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FofLBjdatVY
• Sleeping Giant - Tethimi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdxdnVqn08E
• War of Ages - From Ashes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtTtk85Xl74
• Stryper Throwing Bibles (Kit says this is more sweet than funny...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujYFWX3KBIc

This week, we open a rare treat:  home-brewed Mead (made with Kit's honeybee honey), and talk about Pentecost Sunday (the first Sunday in over a year that the Mass Dispensation wasn't in place for).  Then we talk about Field of Dreams, and some of the nice and not-nice spiritual implications.

This week after sharing our excitement to be a five-star podcast at last (review us on iTunes please?), we talk a bit about our War on Fescue.  Then, we have a conversation about a great talk by Fr. Mike Schmitz at a men's conference in 2018 (linked below).

Fr. Mike Schmitz's talk on YouTube - a wonderful 1-hour listen.

This week we pull an episode out of the vault from about one year ago!  After describing a fun nerf war we had last May, we dive into the Domestic Church (which was more prominent than ever before coming out of the pandemic shut-down).

This week, after chatting about the weather (shocking!), and about the May Crowning at our church today, we chat about churches, how to approach them from a designer's perspective when things need to be changed over time, and how we're all called to maintain our churches, even if it's just understanding toilet seats.

This week, we're talking about The Chosen, and how Jim Caviezel has ruined us for all Jesuses (or "Jesi").  We have a couple of "Epistle" feedback.  Then, we talk about our Lenten fasting experience, and if it changed us at all in our habits our outlooks.

This week, we are enjoying exceptionally good weather for Easter, and enjoying a new puppy in the family.  We spend some time with the Baltimore Catechism on this episode as well, and include some special guests (with limited contracts who will not be appearing often on the show).

Christ Is Risen!  We recorded on a Saturday to throw things off, but wish everyone listening a Happy Easter!

This week, we got a date (!) that was nearly spoiled by a weird body thing.  Then, we talk about the Our Lady of Sorrows Rosary, and talk a bit in depth about the Sorrows of Mary, and how Mary is a great model of all the types of sorrow parents can experience.
