We've been doing this show for five years and we know that not everyone has listened since back in the day. So we've started a new series called Forte Flashbacks highlighting the best moments of the show.

Taylor listens to the interview and then shares his thoughts and highlights from the conversation. This week is Jon’s first appearance back in 2018. It's amazing how much has changed in three years but also seeing the seeds of friendship being sown in this conversation.

Allison Sullivan is back from her fancy trip to Hollywood to launch her acting career and...it was a great trip! She shares the highlights of the trip & the joy that it brought her and her family.

In the second segment, Coach Kramer Soderberg, joins the show. He is a college basketball coach who is very open about his Catholicism. He shares the key values he wants to instill in his players and how those correlate very easily into living out our Catholicism. Check out his book "Fill Your Cup For Christ" at https://kramersoderberg.com/

To close out the show, Taylor shares a new apology technique that he saw on Instagram that he thinks is bonkers. Allison isn't so sure though. She shares that it's terrible advice for Taylor in particular but actually good for a certain group of people. Everyone was surprised in this conversation!

We've been doing this show for five years and we know that not everyone has listened since back in the day. So we've started a new series called Forte Flashbacks highlighting the best moments of the show.

This episode proves how far we've come! Fr. Anthony sounds like he called in from a cell phone in Atlantis, Taylor had no mic ettiquette BUT we learn where "Pittsburgh's okayest priest" came from, the things he's done as a priest for the first time in human history & highlight his first utterly insane first podcast, The Flue. Enjoy his origin story on Forte Catholic!

This week's episode is brought to you live from Liv Harrison's studio in Houston, Tx! Taylor talks about how Liv ruined the beatific vision for him(and she doesn't even know what it means!). He also shares some shower revelations about all the repetitive things we all have to do every day.

Next, they bring back the Chicken Soup for the Schroll segment where they share positive & uplifting stories. This week includes a story that doesn't seem positive at first & a random coffee shop encounter.

Finally, Taylor has another issue with how people are interpreting a certain Gospel story. He thinks we've been missing a huge point and Liv finally gets to be right ;)

Forte Catholic Live in Pittsburgh!

Taylor flew to Pittsburgh to celebrate Fr. Anthony's 5th anniversary and recorded this episode in the Sciarappa home while they were together. They kick off the episode by talking about their time together, including Fr. Anthony's first ever trip to a casino and the Catholic view on gambling.

Next, there's a blast from the past with a letter to a mom from a teenager asking for text messaging in 2008. Reminisce about this strange occurrence 13 years ago and what it has to do with Catholicism.

Finally, Taylor has a new pet peeve: people using the word effeminacy as a derogatory term. He & Fr. Anthony discuss where this term came from, how it's being used and our options on how to move forward.

P.S. Hands down the best commercials we've ever done! Huge thanks to Nick & Riley for letting us invade their home!

Liv Harrison is in studio for the first time in 16 months! Taylor & her in the same room always brings some comedy and drama lol. They kick off the show by talking about summer: Taylor's recent tubing trip, a Summer activity Liv has never done & the return of summer blockbusters.

Next, Taylor saw a Beyond Meat commercial and Arby's commercial back to back and it made him think about the Church (huh?). In a quickly changing world, the Catholic Church (and Arby's) remain steadfast.

Finally, Taylor reveals one of his biggest pet peeves: people not wanting to improve. He shares stories of how he's seen this play out professionally, spiritually and in coaching. He compliments Liv deeply in the segment and also lashes out at her. Perfect way to end the show. Enjoy!

Taylor kicks off the show with an announcement of a fun update to the show. He & Fr. Anthony also discuss the premise from a recent Marvel post that "real men only compliment each other behind their backs" which leads to a fun conversation about friendship.

Next, JP Quinn rejoins the show to play the game he invented: Forte, Mezzo, Piano. He shares hot takes that Father Anthony and Taylor have to grade and share their views on. Man, let me tell you, JP wanted absolute chaos this week and he got it. Fr. Anthony and Taylor haven't been this united in months as they take aim at JP's ridiculous takes. Absolute blood bath lol

Finally, you've heard the Pange Lingua, but have zero clue what it means in English. We're going to fix that. Enjoy!
