Taylor has known Fr. Will since his early seminary days and he is now the associate pastor at his parish. Fr. Will comes in studio to chat about the Mass & Pastoral Care. Particularly how to make changes to the Mass over time in a way where the people in the pews won't revolt. Taylor has some compliments and some challenges for the young priest on that front. Some lively conversation and hilarity ensues.

They close out the show with Taylor sharing about how tired he is of "slippery slope" arguments. He sees them all the time and thinks they're one of the dumbest ways to argue. He gets Fr. Will's thoughts on some common Catholic slippery slope arguments.

He also makes Fr. Anthony play the Catholic hymns edition of Finish the Lyrics, proving that we all think we know these classic songs but we mostly just remember a jumbled mess of faith associated words.

Finally, they discuss how the Church could be more welcoming to gay Catholics and better help them on their journey of discipleship.

Next, Taylor posits that priest seminary formation takes way too long and yet often isn't enough. The three amigos put their heads together to try and find a middle ground solution.

To close the show, they discuss a recent interview with the awesome head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin. It's a story about how he held out one of his stars players from a game because it was what was best for the player. A true sign of leadership. And speaking of leadership...is Pope Francis retiring soon?!?!

We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

Then Fr. Anthony shares about two life changes he wants to make and Taylor isn't really on board with either: a consecration to Mary(which he has questions about) and a tattoo(which Taylor thinks is dumb for Fr. Anthony). It's quite a wild conversation.

Finally, Taylor asks Father Anthony small group questions from a recent retreat he led for High School students. Tune in to see how Fr. Anthony does!

Our guest this week is Fr. Harrison Ayre so you could say this episode is Forte Speaking. Or Clerically Forte. Or Clerically Catholic. Or whichever you think is funniest. Fr. Anthony shares duel citizen ship as a host of both shows so we had a little fun at his expense and then Fr. Harrison shared how we can all be smarter. Good times!

In the second segment, I am joined by my long-time friend Brother Sean Stilson of the Brothers of the Beloved Disciple. We talk about what the life of a brother/seminarian looks like, what the role of a priest is supposed to be and what we can learn from that truth as lay people.

In the final segment, I continue to discuss suggested listener topics like "I'm not getting anything out of Mass", how to get started in being able to defend your faith and of course the classic question of whether I wear boxers or briefs.
