DESCRIPTION

This episode is absolutely packed. We start our conversation on comedy, specifically, how God uses it to build virtue. Then, we move to the personal development of comedian (and soon to be Catholic!) Shayne Smith and how Matt relates to it as a musician. This leads to talk of how theologians develop their positions over time, with Cardinal Dulles as the primary example. Finally, we apply the conversation about developing as a theologian to the controversial works produced by Cardinal Fernandez, the prefect of the DDF. Cardinal Fernandez has publicly spoken against and rescinded his former works, so these are not questions of disobedience, but rather, ones seeking clarity. 

JAM PACKED!

Fr. Sam Kachuba and Matt Sperrazza interview Sean Forrest, the co-founder of Haiti 180. 

Haiti 80 is a charity that aims to improve the lives of the Haitian People, building schools, orphanages (more accurately called "homes", no one who lives there feels orphaned), medical facilities, nursing homes, Chapels. Haiti 180 helps the Haitian people know their dignity by providing for them and instructing them in the Catholic faith. 

Fr. Sam, Matt and Sean discuss Sean's own experience in Haiti, God's true love for the poor (just take note of how often Jesus mentions the poor in the Gospels), the necessity of serving the poor, and entering into the suffering opens us up to God.
