404: Burying St. Joseph, Angry Parishioners & Sinning in Church w/ Fr. Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Fr. Anthony gets off an all-time rant, Taylor ponders changing his stance on burying St. Joseph to sell his house & asks the good priest some confession themed theological questions.

Working in the Church can be difficult. Fr. Anthony is proving that with the week he is currently having! He goes off about how crazy parishioners can be and Taylor just sits there with a stupid big grin on his face.

Then, Taylor gives an update on his house not selling and how it may be time for his to reconsider his previous stance on a popular superstition and/or Catholic practice in order to sell the house more quickly.

Finally, Taylor asks some questions about commiting sins in a Church which leads to some fun thought experiments.

398: Jesus Christ: Professional Wrestler w/ Fr. Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Fr. Anthony has evangelized Taylor into a wrestling fan and now he and his entire household are watching. This leads to a pro wrestling themed conversation where we decide which of our Catholic heroes would be the best wrestlers and talk through their potential story lines. It's a very fun conversation that we hope you enjoy :)

294: Wall Street Journal, Bartender Jesus & Prayer Regiments w/Liv Harrison

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 01:00:00 -0500

To everyone's amazement, Taylor & Forte Catholic were mentioned in this week's Wall Street Journal. He tells Liv the story of how it all unfolded.

Next, Taylor asks a seemingly strange question about Jesus' first miracle that leads to a question about implicity/fault in sin.

Finally, they talk about their prayer routines/regiments that they use as a foundation for their prayer life. Enjoy!

286: Holy Week, Freestyle Preaching & Healing w/Fr Anthony & Fr Harrison

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 01:00:00 -0500

We're back! After taking a week off due to Taylor having the plague, he and Fr. Anthony Sciarappa kick off our Holy Week episode by discussing healing. There are many stories of healing in the Scriptures but do they still happen today? Should we be asking for miraculous healings? What happens if we ask for healing and it doesn't come? They dive into a discussion on these deep issues.

In the next segment, Fr. Anthony is surprised to find out that this week's guest is none other than his Clerically Speaking cohost, Fr. Harrison Ayre. Fr. Harrison has been discussing preaching off the cuff more so Taylor invited him to challenge Fr. Anthony to our Freestyle Preaching game where they each take turns giving 60 second sermons but the catch is they have to include three random words that Taylor gives them. Priest vs. Priest preach-off. This is not a segment you want to miss!

Finally, Taylor and Fr. Anthony discuss their favorite parts of Holy Week: the veneration of the cross, welcoming people into the Church, etc. They also air some grievances about some of the things they'd like to nitpick about Holy Week. And to close it out, Fr. Anthony shares one of the strangest Holy Week customs Taylor has ever heard! Enjoy and have a blessed Holy Week!

Whoops! It's a different Sciarappa! Nick cohosts this week as he shares some spicy takes and the joys of being a new father.

Then, they play Freestyle Preaching! This is our game where each host has to give a 60 second sermon including three random words given to them by the other host. It's a blast!

Finally, Taylor shares some of his insights from a talk he gave about the Dry Bones at a parish mission. Enjoy!

281: Married Priests, Heaven, Reading Lips & CHVRCH w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 01:00:00 -0600

Taylor has a lot of off-the-wall questions for Fr. Anthony Sciarappa. How do celibate priests feel about married priests? Why do Catholics have to be so weird sometimes(ex. misspell normal words)? And finally, Taylor tries to trap Fr. Anthony in a question about Heaven. Fun!

They also introduce a brand new game that you'll either love or hate called "Read my Lips." They take turns explaining basic Catholic terms to each other, but the twist is, the other person has their volume turned all the way down so it's all based on reading the lips of the other person. This game was hilarious to play. We're interested to hear if you love or hate it lol.

Thanks for listening! Y'all rock! :)

144: Fr Anthony & Tea with Tolkien Break the Catholic Internet

Taylor Schroll — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 22:00:00 -0500

Fr. Anthony co-hosts as he and Taylor start the show looking back at crappy situations and realizing how they actually helped us. It gives us insight into how we handle these difficult situations.

Then in the second segment, we welcome back(to Fr. Anthony's surprise) Kaitlyn Facista, lovingly known as Tea with Tolkien! With the King and Queen of Catholic Twitter united, our goal is to break the internet, and challenge Matt Fradd's kingdom! We talk the video game versions of Tolkien, uncover how little Taylor actually knows about LOTR and Kaitlyn saves a sinking ship by taking over and showing us how Catholic thought is immersed in the Silmarillion.

In the final segment, college freshmen Blaine Tamez rejoins the show to talk about some of the issues he's been seeing in our social media culture and makes Fr. Anthony do layman things. It's beautiful.

104: I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends w/ Tea With Tolkien

Taylor Schroll — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 22:00:00 -0500

Producer Sam is in the Holy Land so Taylor is all alone in the studio.....sooooo this week's show was crowd sourced! We got tons of questions and topics submitted by you the listeners. From CrossFit to Fortnite to chicken nuggets to Vatican III, we have something for everyone this week!

I also throw absolute shade at my frenemies at the Roman Circus podcast with the help of Fr. Anthony Sciarappa and throw shade at said priest with the help of his brother, producer Nick Sciarappa. Producer Sam wasn't around to carry the show so creativity and assistance from everyone involved was needed.

In the second segment, I am joined by my co-nemesis @TeaWithTolkien to talk about our "beef", her Catholic Twitter title & of course....tea & Tolkien.

Tune in to this very different but super interesting(I'm biased) episode! Let me know what you think of today's format and content on social media.
