Truth, Entertainment, and Spectacle — Saint In Progress, Episode 26

In this episode, Mike starts off talking about an episode of The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd that not just gets its facts horrendously wrong, but does so in a way that makes the Catholic Church look bad (in a subtle, passive-agressive sort of way.)Then after talking about a statement that then-Fr. Robert Prevost (now Pope Leo XIV) made back in 2012 about how we can’t allow the liturgy to become spectacle, Mike breaks that open and gives real-life examples of what liturgy turned into spectacle looks like.Our work here on Substack is made available at no charge, but that doesn’t mean that it’s free to make.
