  • Sad

    Father Mike Rapp! I am so sad that you’re leaving the podcast. You’ve always been my favorite of the Catholic stuff guys (with Fr John a very close second). God bless you ❤️

  • The old ones are great

    I miss the old guys. This used to be my favorite podcast. I’ve got nothing against these guys. They just have no chemistry like the other priest. I’ve tried listening and I just can’t get into it.

  • A Complete Flop on Faith

    It was interesting listening to Catholic priests parrot Martin Luther in justification by faith. Like Luther, they completely ignored scriptures that they disagreed with. No one can work his/her way to Heaven, but the scriptures make it absolutely clear that intellectual assent is not enough. Rom. 2:6, 2 Cor. 4:5, 1 Peter 1:17, 1 Cor. 3:8. Matt 16:27. Not to mention James or even the Beatitudes are all actions. Put simply, one does not have faith unless one acts. Otherwise sin is irrelevant.
