Taylor recently saw Knives Out in theaters and has thoughts to share with cohost Fr. Anthony. They compare and contrast mystery novels with Church Teaching(cuz that makes sense.)
Our guest this week, Rakhi McCormick, shares her story of journeying from Hinduism to Catholicism. It’s a fascinating story that didn’t happen in any way you think it would.
In the final segment, Taylor shares how he put his foot in his mouth on Sunday morning surrounding a conversation about death and praying for the dead. But don’t worry, Fr. Anthony has all the answers.
