  • 002. Nancy Pelosi Controversy and New Apostolic Letter from Pope Francis
    Jul 3 2022

    I'm weighing in on the Nancy Pelosi controversy: should she receive Communion or is it just a little too harsh to bar her from a sacrament? Most of what I wanted to say was covered by TikTokker Not Unicorn Sock Girl, so I replay and add some commentary to her video. Also on deck is the new Apostolic Letter from Pope Francis, Desiderio Desideravi. I read a few selections and offer some commentary.

  • 001. My Testimony: Why I'm Catholic (again)
    Jun 27 2022

    Welcome to the first episode of Back Rome Again. So I'm late to the party on Christian TikTok of posting your testimony--how you became a Christian. I never gave it on TikTok because I knew that it would take a lot more than 3 minutes to explain. This became the perfect vehicle and a logical first episode for my new podcast about Catholic news and views from the perspective of the revert. Also covered is Sacred Heart devotion, since last Friday was the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    • Is the Catholic Sacrifice of the Mass Biblical? [GotQuestions.org actually combined two different answers, both of which I wrote for them, into this single article. They also finally changed it to reflect what I had originally told them about the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Sacrifice of Cavalry being one and the same sacrifice.]
