🎙️ HABEMUS PADCAST!

White smoke? Black smoke? Warrior Popes? Scandalous Borgias?And what if the next pope is... your parish priest who makes great coffee?In this episode of PadsCast, we dig into the mysterious (and sometimes messy) world of the Conclave — from Pope Francis memories to the most outrageous popes in history, and why predicting the next one might say more about us than the Spirit.

Expect holy trivia, awkward facts, and a reminder that even when the Church gets weird, God stays faithful.

We're back after a month-long break.

At kasama namin ang isang batang pari mula sa Diocese of Paranaque, who despite being just short of 3 years as a priest already has so much experience and wisdom. Mula ministry, prayer hanggang exorcism and burnout, isang makulay at masayang kwentuhan with our guest, Fr. Kevin Joshua Cosme!

So this is part 2 of our Valentine's special, and this is our longest episode ever.

We cover the central figure in most comments: kaming mga pari—mga homily na di makalanding, mga questionable lifestyle choices, and yes, our opinions on abuses and transparency/accountability in Church.

Ang daming napag-usapan, kaya naman umabot kami ng 1.5hours. So buckle up and listen when you can.

Survey says . . . WOW! Ang dami niyong hugot sa tanong namin!

For love month, we decided to ask you: Bakit masarap/mahirap mahalin ang Simbahan? At di namin akalaing ganung karami ang makukuha naming responses!

Sa dami, this is just part one of our response to your answers. For part 1 we are focusing on two of the most common answers: the people/community and the Mass.

Sa recent na usapin ng sex education, nakita nating napakarami pang pagkakataon that we Catholics need to learn how to communicate our stand on secular issues clearly and charitably. At sa totoo lang, mukhang marami pa ring Katoliko ang di pa kayang gawin ito.

Before we get to more episodes, Pads Khris and Albert first sit down for much-needed kwentuhan tungkol sa aming 2024 and looking at what to expect for 2025.

Tamang chill lang tayo bago namin tuluyang simulan ang 2025 episodes, which we're all excited for you to hear.

Medyo nangingilid luha ko sa episode na to.

From an unlikely source we find hope fitting for Christmas. Fr. Firmo Bagayo, Jr. is a jesuit assigned in prison ministry, and his stories and realizations from serving what is arguably the most marginalized sector of society will inspire and challenge us at once.

Nawa'y maging daan ang interview na ito para maalala, ipagdasal, at mag-abot tayo ng tulong sa mga kapatid nating nasa piitan.

Kasama din dito ang nakakakilig na kwento kung paano sinuyo ng Diyos si Pads Jun-G na maging paring Heswita.

All this with our usual tawanan at kulitan in a truly special episode of The PadsCast.

BULAGA! We're doing this surprise drop of an episode as we had an equally surprising on-show reunion with The Catholic Comedian himself, Mr. Romar Chuca.

Isa sa mga pinakamalaking episode namin ang kanyang unang dalaw, and he's back for this Christmas kwentuhan kung saan lalamnan din ni Romar ang kanyang mga more "controversial" takes on our Catholic faith.

We close looking at 2025 and seeing what plans Romar has to continues with his unique digital mission of blending culture, comedy, and Church.

With the recent first ever Catholic Digital Influencers' Night and the Catholic Social Media Summit, perfect timing na ilabas ang episode na ito on . . . Catholic Content Creation!

To all aspiring creators or avid consumers of content (sino bang hindi?), this episode is for you. Puno ng tried and tested wisdom from viral Catholic creators ang usapang ito, with guests who have tens of millions of views between them—Bro. Kirby Llaban of The Fired Up Life and Couples for Christ, and returning guest Bro. Bernz Caasi of Unboxing Catholicism and Hallow.

May this episode inspire you to make Gospel more visible through your own online presence, and most importantly, pray for all digital missionaries. Dahil nasa online ang laban, at kailangan namin ng inyong tulong, dasal, at pagsali.

Iba't ibang trending topics ang tatalakayin nina Pads Khris and Albert, pero lahat tutuhugin sa iisang tema: that our Church is both inclusive and transformative. Ano daw?! Alamin sa kwentuhang mula kay Luce hanggang sa Sto. Niño sa Cebu ay aabutin, in another episode of the PadsCast!
