Kelly and Dermot get deep talking about arch heresies, alchemy, Buck Mulligan's blasphemy, James Joyce's love of sacred music,  and what the Council of Trent had in common with the classic film Footloose.

Listen to The Mass for Pope Marcellus.

For more info on gnosticism, Dermot recommends The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels.
