Joe-come back to pOpelESs ShAmeMeRY. I’m Will MEshiRE. And in honor of April Fool’s Day, I thought I’d share something a little bit lighter, although it’s paradoxically something a lot darker. The gallus humor of the Catholic church, our saints, and especially our martyrs are venerated and they’re highly honored. They’re brave in the face of evil. They had fortitude in the greatest of trials....

The Satanic Grotto are planning a Black Mass to be held at the state capitol on Friday March 28th. Joe thought this would be a good opportunity both to call for prayer and attendance of Mass that day, but also to show how satanism aping Catholicism specifically points to Catholicism being true.

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe, Heschmeyer, and today I want to try to draw good out of a bad situation. Now if you are from Kansas or nearby, and particularly if you’re a Catholic, there’s a good chance the bad situation I’m referring to on March 28th...

Joe tackles the misguided teaching of NeedGod.net on Mary’s perpetual virginity, citing evidence and prophecy from the Bible.

By simply taking an analytical look at the Gospels, and comparing that to what we know of Jewish marriage tradition and parental law, we can conclude that Mary promised herself as a virgin to the Lord for her entire life. Joe succinctly shows this through Scripture, and backs the position up with teachings from the earliest Christians and Old Testament prophecy.

It’s actually remarkable just how closely Andrew Tate’s philosophy aligns with old pagan ideas of masculinity. Today Joe examines how this compares to the perfected masculinity of Christ.

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to offer a Christian take on Andrew Tate. More specifically, I want to propose a thesis that I haven’t heard anybody else make, namely that Tate is playing the role of something like a Pagan philosopher and that his ideas should be evaluated on those grounds. Now I realize that is not the popular way of un...

Joe explains one of the best evidences for Christianity being true by examining the parallels between Psalm 22 and The Passion.

Welcome back to Shamlesss Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. I want to talk about one of the most powerful lines in the whole Bible and how it’s connected to what I think might be the most incredible prophetic and detailed Old Testament account of the crucifixion. It’s the line where Jesus cries out from the cross, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Now, those words by themselves are terrifying in their implications. If Jesus is the ...

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and if you think that keeping up with news and politics right now is just overwhelming, well, good news. I guess you’re correct and you should know that some of that feeling of being overwhelmed that you’re experiencing is actually by design. Now, Steve Bannon, one of the masterminds behind President Trump’s first campaign, gave a fascinating interview back in 2019 where he talked about feeling...

Today Joe takes us through the history of one of the most beautiful liturgical seasons, Lent. And shows us that it’s WAY older and grounded in Christian history than you realize…

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe, Heschmeyer, and today I want to explore the true history of lint. Now, some Christians just know lint is that time of year where we give stuff up. They may not even know why other Christians know that it’s the penitential season in preparation for Easter Sunday, but how many of us know why the Linton season was instituted? Do we know wh...

Joe does a debrief with John DeRosa on the debate with James White on the Mass being a propitiatory sacrifice, and the infamous Ignatius statement.

Joe:

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and this is going to be a little different of an episode than I normally do. As you may know, I was just down in AR Kansas this past week to debate James White on the sacrifice of the mass. I’m really pleased with how the debate turned out and from the 3000 plus comments that people have posed so far, it seems that many of you were pleased as well. So I’m going ...

Following Joe’s debate with James White, he lays out the case for why the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice and the most essential Christian practice, supported by Scripture, Church Fathers and the Reformers themselves.

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. I want to start by asking you a question. Can you point to a moment in your own life in which you were saved? I hope so. What’s interesting to me is when I ask people when they were saved, nobody’s ever said to me when Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday, and I’m glad that peo...

William Lane Craig is one of the most popular theologians and Christian apologists today. We actually have a lot of respect and admiration for him. However he, like many other Protestants, falls into some seriously dangerous pitfalls when following Sola Scriptura, to the point of denying core attributes of the God we profess to believe and adore.

Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and before I say anything else, I need to start with this. I love William Lynn Craig. He’s a personal hero of mine, even when I disagree with him as I will be doing very...
