    I believe there was an episode of Cheers where Sam went to confession. May be worth a look.

  • Concise Pastoral Wisdom

    I’m a Protestant but I really like Father Mike. This content leans more towards pastoral/practical concerns and not as much towards theology/apologetics, though there is some of that. I find he’s generally fair to Protestants, although he certainly does not have the credentials of a scholar, so I cringe a little bit when he does apologetics.

    But for general Christian living and spiritual development this is great.
