Other items of note that Shelley mentions during the episode:

Shelley refers to the following scripture passage: An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.” Luke 9:46-48

Shelley mentions her father went through RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which adults and children of catechetical age become initiated into the Christian Catholic faith, receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, and going forward to live the Christian life.
