A Catholic's Guide to Werewolves.

from St. Anthony's Tongue · host St. Anthony's Tongue

What does the Catholic Church have to do with werewolves?In this eerie episode, we explore the forgotten Catholic werewolf legends — from the cursed monks of Ossory and Gerald of Wales’ Eucharistic wolves, to St. Francis of Assisi and the Wolf of Gubbio, and even St. Christopher the dog-headed saint.These haunting tales aren’t about silver bullets — they’re about mercy. They show how the Church saw wolves not only as monsters, but as symbols of sin, hunger, and exile… and how grace dares to feed the beast.We’ll talk about:The Irish werewolves who received Communion in the woodsHow St. Francis tamed a killer wolf through compassionThe dog-headed St. Christopher, sanctified rather than destroyedJohn 10 and Matthew 7, wolves in Scripture, and the theology of demonic hungerWhy the Eucharist is the true cure for the curseSink your teeth into this one — folklore meets theology, and the result is strangely beautiful.
