Over the course of six years, Fr. Murphy created short podcast biographies for each pope in chronological order. This book compiles some of the best stories he learned and how we grow closer to Christ in light of these stories. These stories include a pope's statement on whether Christians can wear pants. Previous Episode Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, discussed a Christians relationship to modern day celebrations of Halloween. Halloween originally, and still is, a day of observation of All Saints Day, originally known as All Hallow’s Eve. In modern observations of Halloween, debates of the morality of the celebration arose. Fr. Rob and Fr. George address some best practices for Christians as they observe Halloween. With all things in the Catholic Church, Fr. Rob emphasizes holding the two extremes in tension. There are aspects of Halloween that are good and others that can mislead someone into sinful behaviors. For the Christian, it is our responsibility to discern the aspects that bring us closer to God and those that do not. Links Order your copy of Why Christians Can Wear Pants here.
