The Catacomb Diaries

The Catholic crossover that nobody asked for but is happening anyway.  After months of failed attempts to charm her booking agent, I finally got a slot with Anna Lulis, pro-life activist and self-proclaimed "Catholic Theologian Wannabe".  Like yours truly, Anna has never shyed away from ruffling some Protestant feathers.  Join us for our first ever conversation as we talk about our experiences being vocally Catholic in the conservative movement.

In this podcast:

Your company probably doesn't align with your values. But that's no surprise, the working world is full of "woke-ism". Comply or be cancelled! Today, I speak with Cristofer about his organisation's work, and how Catholic professionals should approach the woke world.

I speak to Austin Kelly, Executive Producer of Christian Channel, about what their latest crowdfunded production, Knights of the Cross. What does it take to produce quality Catholic entertainment? Could this truly be "the most epic crusader production of all time"?

The dynamic duo is back with another edu-taining conversation. We talk about the passing of Queen Elizabeth, what she represented, the monarchical authority system of the Catholic Church, and how we should respect our earthly authorities, specifically our clergy.

Like Catholicism itself, Catholic femininity upholds objective truths while acknowledging realities and exceptions. I speak with Ferrell, a femininity content creator who is in the process of converting to Catholicism. I'll be interrogating her on her new-ager past, her conversion, the similarities between New Age and Protestantism, objective definitions, and femininity.

Daniel is officially being welcomed into the Church this Easter vigil. With hours left to spare, I'm giving him one last chance to change his mind before it becomes official. I'll be hammering him with reasons he shouldn't be Catholic to see if he's truly ready for reality.

Made a tweet about some NO masses being embarrassing, got a little backlash. Today I clarify that tweet, and talk about the beautiful mass I attended for Maundy Thursday, along with some "critiques". 

Spending some time on CatholicMatch stirred me to talk about why a Catholic can never turn their back on the Church's teachings, no matter how much they may fall short of living up to them. I offer some unsolicited advice on coping with your own shortcomings and still remaining a faithful sinner.

Should you have female friends? Why does secular culture hate ex's?
