    #250 This Is Why Your Lent Keeps Failing…
    Feb 17 2026
    Joe breaks down how Christ and the saints teach us to use fasting, almsgiving and prayer to combat the Triple Concupiscence. Transcript: JOE: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and the season of Lent starts tomorrow. For many Christians, it’s a time to give up chocolate and such, and that’s fine, but it kind of misses the point. I don’t want to have a forgettable lint, and I don’t want your Lent to be forgettable either, because the fact is lint in penance has the power to completely transform our lives. But for it to do that, we need to know wha...

    #248 Pope John Paul I Was Awesome, Actually…
    Feb 10 2026

Transcript: JOE: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and today I want to talk about a pope that doesn’t get a lot of love, doesn’t get a lot of attention. Pope John Paul, the first many of us are maybe dimly aware that he even exists. And if we know anything about him, it’s probably a handful of relatively superficial facts. Like for instance, he liked to smile sometimes CLIP: The Smiling Pope albi...

    Joe looks at the position of Sabbitarians, and their claim that Emperor Constantine instituted worship on Sundays. Transcript: JOE: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. And why do Christians worship on Sunday? Is it because of something that Jesus did or because of something that Constantine did? In other words, was Sunday chosen because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ or was it chosen as a way of compromising with Roman pagans in the fourth century? You might be convinced you already know the answer to this question, but I hope you’ll give me the opportunity t...

    Jan 29 2026
    Joe looks at three takeaways from Rhett McLaughlin’s deconstruction. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to do something a little bit different today. If you are like me, there’s a good chance that in the good old days of YouTube you watched a fair amount of Rhett and link, and one of the things about Rhett and Link is that both of them, they kind of oozed evangelical Christianity.

    Jan 27 2026
    Joe looks at several ways Protestants try to justify their canon and Scripture, and how these standards contradict their canon. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. How do we know which books belong in the Bible? After all, there are seven Old Testament books that are in Catholic and Orthodox bibles that aren’t in Protestant bibles. So how do we know which Bible is right? One solution I’ve heard goes something like this. We know which books belong in the Old Testament by looking at which books Jesus treated his scripture. In the New Testament...
