S1 E7: Forgive Us Father...

Hold onto your rosaries, because in this spine-tingling episode, we’re diving deep into the eerie intersection of Catholicism, ghosts, and witchcraft—pushed to the edge by a beloved '90s cult classic: The Craft. It’s a crossover you never knew you needed! From Catholic views on purgatory and spirits to the supernatural forces at play in witchcraft, we explore how these themes bleed into pop culture, especially through the lens of this iconic film. Expect to hear about the soul-stirring consequences of dabbling in dark magic and how that might just echo the Catholic belief in redemption (or the lack thereof!). But things quickly take a turn, as our laughter reaches unholy levels and inappropriate jokes fly. Trust us, the laughs are so contagious, they’re practically ghostly. So buckle up, because between the shocking theology and hilarious hijinks, you’re in for one wild ride! We’ll also bring you some chilling Catholic ghost stories from real-life haunted locations—prepare for phantom footsteps, shadowy figures, and the dark secrets lurking in holy spaces. From St. Columbkille Parish in Uptergrove to the mysterious Ursuline Convent in New Orleans, we’ll share spine-chilling tales that’ll make you think twice about visiting your local church at night. So, light a candle, say a prayer (just in case), and join us for a conversation that blends faith, fear, and a few too many giggles.
