  • Catholic Funerals

    Catholic Funerals
    Apr 3 2024

    Listen in as the hosts chat about the very light and airy and not at all emotionally triggering subject of Catholic funerals. Mass cards! Wakes! Gorging yourself with fellow grieving family members! Laugh and cry with the hosts as they parse through how the Catholics handle death.

Healing and Enjoyable

As someone who has a huge love for God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and has been so emotionally, mentally and spiritually damaged by the “Roman” catholic church (severe scrupulosity, severe religious ocd, anxiety, depression ect) to the point where I lost all critical thinking skills for a while, and is still recovering, this is such a great comfort! The hosts are very sweet, loving and funny! It isn’t an “anti-religion” podcast or anything like that, they’re very respectful to what others may believe or not believe but it’s fun to hear about theirs and others experiences and what you can take away from it and turn it into something positive. It’s healing to hear that if something brings you comfort or peace you have the right to keep it and if it doesn’t you don’t have to keep it.
Thank you very much for this podcast, it definitely helps bring closure and I feel like it is very encouraging to forgive those who have hurt me in the rcc and be loving (like Christ, I believe) even if they’re not sorry and is helping move on. God bless you both!
