  <description>Forte Catholic Live in Pittsburgh! 
Gambling, Texting &amp;amp; Effeminacy w/the Sciarappas
Catholic Entertainment, Catholic Faith, Catholic Comedy
Taylor flew to Pittsburgh to celebrate Fr. Anthony's 5th anniversary and recorded this episode in the Sciarappa home while they were together. They kick off the episode by talking about their time together, including Fr. Anthony's first ever trip to a casino and the Catholic view on gambling.
Next, there's a blast from the past with a letter to a mom from a teenager asking for text messaging in 2008. Reminisce about this strange occurrence 13 years ago and what it has to do with Catholicism.
Finally, Taylor has a new pet peeve: people using the word effeminacy as a derogatory term. He &amp;amp; Fr. Anthony discuss where this term came from, how it's being used and our options on how to move forward.
P.S. Hands down the best commercials we've ever done! Huge thanks to Nick &amp;amp; Riley for letting us invade their home!
