If it weren’t for the internet and outlets like this I’d have never become catholic. I was nondenominational Christian, but not practicing, I never went to church, not even for Christmas and Easter, and wasn’t actively praying. The intellectual arguments for Catholicism led to my heart being opened and I now go to mass three times a week, I’m in the choir, I pray a rosary daily, I have a small business where I hand make rosaries, I go to adoration weekly, and I’m officially a catechumen. Praise God for the changes in my life and how close I am to him now
But WHAT IF all you have in Jesus Christ is Intellectual Faith?
Welcome home!
Beautiful. I am a cradle Catholic and had a conversion in February 2022. Started praying the Rosary, going to Eucharistic adoration as often as possible, frequent Mass, started fasting, dropped my mortal sins and addictions. All thanks to the grace of God
@@Darth_Vader258That wouldn’t be good but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Sometimes intellectual arguments can lead you to be open to God or even lead you closer to him, but I agree that it shouldn’t be the focus.
Welcome home!
As terrible as the internet can be, I'd like to say the internet has led me to Catholicism, and that's thanks to God working through you all. Thank you.
God invented the internet and uses it to get us back. 😊
Same here! I would not have found strong Catholic men such as yourselves without the Internet. It can be a conduit for the Holy Spirit or a tool of the devil, just depends how it is used.
Same, God bless!
it's not all bad.
@@KSTrekker I WATCH Catholic, PROTESTants, Atheist ⚛️, Islam CZcams videos. So my faith isn't very STRONG right now as a cradle Catholic.
Maybe there should be an episode on how the Internet is helping. Honestly you three have helped me fall in love with being catholic and encourage me to learn more. I made my confirmation in February and look forward to your show and going to Mass every week. You introduced me to the Hallow app, The Chosen show, Bible in a year with Father Mike. I’m truly grateful to all of you.
I just love listening to you and enjoy the show very much. My going to mass everyday has helped me with any problems I've encountered.
Me too Becca! There is also on You Tube Father Chris Alar with The National Shrine of Divine Mercy! His Seminary School notes breaks everything down so we can understand our Catholic Faith. Now I pray the Holy Rosary & Divine Mercy Chaplet everyday with the seminarians ❤️. God Bless
Yeah the internet made me an actual Catholic (instead of a nominal Catholic like I used to be)!
Other channels that helped:
-Father Chris Alar (I probably learned the most from him)
-Father Ripperger (He kept me from leaving…. His response to the scandals was what I needed)
-Catholic truth
-Catholic answers
Congratulations and many blessings for your confirmation! This show has helped me a lot as well and gave me a deeper appreciation of the truly awe inspiring beauty that is present in the Catholic Church.
What I like about this original comment, was that it wasn't a rebuttal to this video. But rather, to compliment this video. As much as I believe big Tech, absolutely has a motivation to attack Christianity, the irony is I have learned all of my Latin prayers on CZcams. When I haven't been able to attend my Sunday obligation in person. The internet allows me to make my tithe ( shamefully its never the 10% monthly income expectation) and participate with a parish that allows me to focus on the Eucharist, who is our Lord Jesus Christ. Lately that has been Father Schmidt, in Duluth MN. Also ironic, who is literally on the opposite side of the country of where I am.
I really hope they make a video after this, based on Becca's idea, of how the internet has been a tool, that has helped guide me back to Christ.
As an agoraphobic Catholic w anxiety issues wayyy before COVID, I have spent the last year on CZcams finding my way back to the church. I go to church on Sundays again & am trying to teach my children about our faith. Videos have shown me a various variety of ways to do these things. But, I pray for those that don’t take advantage of the available content online to strengthen what we do & how we live when Mass is over.❤️🙏🏼✌🏼
You 3 kick major ass! 💗 My Catholic faith has been rejuvenated because of your educational, informed discussions, humor, shared online links and youthful joy/love in God. PLEASE ignore the haters, it was ever thus with all true followers of JC and Co.
Carry on Boys xo🙏🌟
For what it’s worth, my husband and I were in Jacksonville, Florida this past weekend. We’re fans of the show so we visited Father Pagano’s church hoping to meet him (no luck). Remember, you’re always going to have haters. Heck, Jesus had haters! Keep on doing what you’re doing.
I don’t feel the Latin Mass should be restricted like the Pope is restricting it. I don’t attend TLM but I don’t agree. No reason to take this away from these devoted Catholics.
H e isn't, he's trying to correct the schismatics and gnostics. If this doesn't work, then no one is to blame except those people who dont understand the gravity of this situation.
I miss TLM. We used to attend once or twice a month. Drove 45 min one way to attend and if it was permitted in my parish I’d attend every week. It is sad that we can’t choose to attend it if we want and I have only met a handful of people who are “angry and in schism” because of it. There are people on CZcams who are this way and gather to them those who are angry. It is sad that because of a few the rest of us can’t participate.
TLM is what brought my husband into church, after really not caring about it his whole life because his family was thrown out due to a family member being a mason. He didn’t have a family like mine who went weekly, very devout parents to guide him yet ONE Latin mass showed him the way back. He became confirmed at the age of 60 last October 25, 2023.
Regardless of the few, the many should benefit from it instead of limiting it. Fortunately we go to a very beautiful Holy Mass celebrated with incense, many altar boys and a NO as close to TLM as possible. Our priests dress like priests and our nuns are dressed and act like nuns should, sweet and strict when necessary.
I want to specify that TLM I used to go to was in Austin. That cathedral was full, people standing in the back, every time we went to it. It is sad that Bishop Vasquez has decided to stop this when Austin is a city in dire need of holy Catholics to help. The mass was full of young families with children, many children. A live community that will now won’t have what brought them in. I hope the mass they get is as close to TLM as possible so they can continue to worship the way they want.
I love you guys so much, thank you for this specific show! It needed to be said. The bottom line is when we attack each other, we are attacking Christ himself! Pax et Bonum!
You all probably won’t see this but just wanted to thank you for addressing this topic. I’ve definitely let myself get distracted with this sort of menial online back and forth way too much more than I should have. A lot of this talk felt like a kick in the face, but one that’s definitely been a long time coming. Appreciate all that you do and thanks so much for continuing to keep the great content coming!
We’ve all been guilty of it too (we’ll maybe not Fr. Rich…)
You all are such a breath of fresh air with your belief in Christ and humor ! Thank you!
Watching this show reminds me of around the campfire discussions with family and friends where you discuss serious topics while having great fun. My grandmother's final day led a conversation of "What is the one piece of knowledge that you would ask God?" Hers trumped us all... to hear the talk Jesus gave on the road to Emaus.
The laughs tonight were a much needed blessing! Thank you for showing the world that Catholics are a joyous lot ;o)
I just finished watching this weeks episode. Oh My Gosh!!!!!! People!! Don’t watch if you don’t like it! I actually love this show it educates us on the faith and makes it fun and interesting. Your personalities work so well together. I look forward to watching every week and I’m one of the ones anxiously awaiting the episode on the ticker. That said, Ryan D you can spit your Ps and Fs all you want and eat the mic… It doesn’t bother me a bit! Ryan S you’re the balance and wear a flannel complete the look (lumberjack)! Father Rich, I have had the opportunity to have Priests as friends and have/had 2 Priests and a Bishop in my family. Priests are people too, they have personalities and a sense of humor just like the rest of us. Also, Fr Rich you are not fat! Also, just to be clear this show has also helped me renew my faith. Carry on guys!
I can't tell you all enough how much this show has meant to me as a Catholic and how it played such an important part in my reversion. God bless you three for your humor and strength in the face of the internet legions seeking to tear down Christ and His Holy Church by impersonating sanctimonious purists. They are all false. You gentlemen have brought me such joy and laughter, and have made me feel like part of a community that gets harder and harder to find in my corner of the world. Please keep doing what you have been doing. Let your light shine before men.
Rob, that is amazing feedback, and we appreciate it so much. We’re humbled we could have helped you
I love watching you all and I'm not confirmed Catholic at present. Hopefully this Spring!! Mean and nasty running rampant. Stay on the long and narrow path, soldiers of the Cross, and love one another ♥
Beverly, God bless you in your journey to strengthening your commitment to the Faith through Confirmation! I am praying for you!
Gentlemen, I've just finished listening to this week's podcast. I just have to let you know...I LOVE you guys! I so look forward to listening every week because I'm always inspired and I learn so much from you guys. I'm filled with hope that there are men - brothers, fathers, husbands and priests - like you. Thank you so much and PLEASE keep doing what you do!
Wow! Thank you!!
This has to be my favorite episode yet, the laughter is so contagious, and every time I watch I feel like I'm sitting there with you 3, God bless you all, thank you for all you teach, I pray Father Mike can make it to one of the episodes at some point and do a catholic joke off with Fr Rich! God bless you and keep cheering us up especially during these difficult times.
What a brilliant idea! Maybe this summer?😀
Don’t listen to the haters - your show is incredibly entertaining and faith-based! I’ve introduced friend and family to your show and they think it’s superb, too. And a special BIG THANK YOU for making us laugh with each episode. I especially enjoyed the public read of those comments. Bravo!! 😂
Fr. Rich thank you for touching on the subject of beauty in diversity in the church. As a Latina young adult it makes me very happy seeing pastors like yourself embrace our Hispanic culture in parishes. Especially because growing up in a first-gen Hispanic family I’ve seen it too much that my community gets sent to the basement to celebrate Spanish mass /:
So, Gracias! ❤️
I've just realized that you guys are the only youtube channel where I push the like button before even watching the video. Excellent show - warm atmosphere, funny, informative. It's basically like having three high school friends in my living room talking about what I cherish the most. Thank you and all the best from Croatia! ;)
Also… the negative comments read aloud … I was DYING from laughter here at work, which started a great conversation at my all baptist workplace. Awesome opportunity for evangelism. Thanks Ryan Ryan & Fr Rich
Thank you guys for the show! The fun, laughing, bobbleheads, alcohol, cigars and occasional coarse language show that we're Catholics and not Puritans! God bless!
I,for one, love seeing you guys laugh!! Your joy is contagious! God bless all three of you and your show.
I really enjoyed this episode. You guys were so cool in your reaction to those critics. We can never please everyone. May God bless all your efforts in making the show!
I loved the laughter riot during the laugh comment.
"From silly devotions
and from sour-faced saints,
good Lord, deliver us."
-St. Theresa of Avila
I have that on my refrigerator to try to keep me in a true Catholic joy throughout the year.
This was hilarious!! Please keep up the jokes! No one has a better sense of humor than God but you guys are a close second.
Very true. I couldn't stop laughing it was so hilarious that my face was hurting afterwards. God is number one for humor and where else do we get it from other than Him?
M
God is the God of laughter, "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;" Isaac means laughter.
The internet can be a truly hellacious place (Facebook is a dumpster fire), but there is a lot of fantastic resources for the faithful as well. Your show is a great example of something I found online that has helped me grow. God bless you all for doing what you do and have a merry Christmas ❤️
👍🏼 totally. Good show. I’m sorry people feel entitled to be so mean in comments. They’re sad 😔 and need love. You do a good job. God bless.
(Hallow is amazing. I love it! I made a custom morning routine and use it every single morning. The best tool for a brand new Catholic convert. )
Merry Christmas 🎄

❤ I love all of you! I have been binge watching the ones I've never seen. I have a " young" member of my church who has the vocation calling. He was counseled not to go to his prom, and I thought that was harsh. He gave me so much wisdom at 17 that it blew my mind. Please pray for Sebastian 🙏 We need more priests. You are overworked, and the calling is falling short of the demand. Keep up the great work, Fr Rich and Ryan x 2 💕
I've been blessed to convert a few people on the internet. As a Catholic apologist, I know what to say to those who hate us. I would go to a Latin Mass but there are none within 75 miles. So our associate pastor does Latin Masses private on Sundays at 2 pm
As a practice in counsel I really don't know what to say to the ones that want to argue that or not carefully I just adore them don't argue.
I’m conservative and attend mass almost everyday, my sister is a liberal. We have NEVER gotten along! I told her that I loved her more then politics, and we talk almost on a daily basis now. Granted we never speak about politics, which we know to avoid.
Love listening to your Show❤️ It gives me a deeper insight into our Catholic faith. I Always learn something new every time. Thank you so much 🙏 love you guys!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
You are all great. I appreciate your sense of humor and humility. God bless you all and the Catholic Talk Show!
You guys had me rolling this morning! The talk about laughing being bad was something that struck a chord. One of the reason my husband and I started down the path to conversion years ago was because a priest made a mistake addressing the congregation after mass. He caught himself and burst out laughing... at a midnight mass... Coming from a Southern fundamentalists background, we had never seen such grace and joy at the same time from a pastor. It made us instantly comfortable and reminded us it was okay to err and laugh about it. This was in a HYPER conservative and traditional parish and with all of the pomp and circumstance of the mass and at that moment... He was still able to laugh and make us all laugh in the moment.
And in the conclusion, you forgot the fake teeth... "fat, modernist, gay... with fake teeth..."
Continue the wonderful work! You are a joy to listen to and bring joy to my mornings! May God bless you all and I hope that you and your families are blessed this Christmas and New Year!
I just love the way you all laugh. How you guys have a brotherly love towards one another. It's great. God Bless you guys
P.S. my 5y/o son rocks his head back and forth when the intro guitar plays. He loves it's! ♥️❤️
This was hilarious. I'm still crying from laughing. Scheel's occultists habits and Fr. Rich's teeth were my favorite. You do a great job, guys. Keep it up.
Hey, it's fine
..the whole 'culture' war is going on all the time. God has it!
I LOVE you guys having fun and also talking about 'opinions'...
This is Gods Church...that's why we're here...the promise! Stay in the boat...!
Take joy in staying in the boat...trajectory is forward...pick up those people on the shore!
I think the comments thus far have helped make your point for you. :)
EXACTLY
Your joy and laughter are appreciated!! I love the show!! God continue to bless you all!!! 🇧🇷
I saw a reminder for the premiere “reading your meanest comments”… I’ll miss you guys this week. I don’t have the mental strength for mean comments again this week. It’s been a rough one. See you next week! God bless❤️ (p.s. I hope you do a show on ways to encourage each other in faith even in the face of unkindness soon. I need that in my life. Crying in the bathroom gets old. 😕) have a lovely rest of Christmas 🎄
This was hilarious 😂 I love this show so much. Peace be with you all!
I love my faith and I hear everything you’re taking about. Yes I agree real communications is not done on Facebook. Thank you for what you do.🙏
Man. Those people who make the comments are awful.
I am a Hindu who recently became a candidate in the church. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thanks for laughing despite the negativity in the comment section!
Humility is being able to laugh at yourself. Great show guys. New listener here. 😂
Just thought the world should know that Father Pagano actually is as good-natured IRL as he is on this show. One day, I was walking into the Catholic Center on Old St. Augustine Rd for a meeting. Fr. Rich was behind me but pretty far away. I was buzzed in immediately, but then the person behind the desk stepped away for a minute. Fr. Rich tried the door, and of course, it was locked. I walked over, opened the door for him, and said, "Ya know, they're trying to keep out the riff-raff, but no one's manning the desk, so I think you can sneak in now." He laughed super hard and thanked me. Love him and the Ryans!!!! Oh, and Scheel, my husband has large hands, too. There are large-handled coffee mugs out there. You just have to shop for them. Maybe you can have some made for the Catholic Talk Show!!
I am new to the Catholic religion and had no idea what you were talking about. However you made me smile. You're all blessed young men.
I have never laughed so much! Loved this episode. Love you guys!
Thank you - this whole conversation is so appropriate.
This was absolutely hilarious. I'm secretly hoping that people keep giving you guys bad comments so you can do another show just like this!! Whoops, is that a sin? 😂
Spot on, gentlemen! Well said!
I love you guys! And I love the humor. ☺️ You ALL three have helped me grow in my faith, your podcast and others have brought me back to the faith. Keep up the good work
I have heard many motivational speakers say " show me the 5 people you spend the most time with and I will know tge type of person you are." The same applies to Facebook groups.
I love your show, I use the internet for my Rosary twice a day and watch the Mass from St. Patrick’s every day that I don’t go to my Parish Mass. Please don’t be offended by these bad comments. Thank you for your work🙏🙏🙏
I am converting from Baptist to Catholic mainly because of your show & the Hallow app & Father Schultz training . I was raised Catholic young then we changed to Southern Baptist. Pray for me I am 60 & changing back. Am a Patron $50 member can’t wait to wear my hoodie. God Bless Ya’ll
Our priest grew up baptist😊
Love you guys. Merry Christmas. God bless all of you ❤️🤗🙏🏻🎄🤶
Father Mike is not answering our calls … 🤣🤣🤣 that totally cracked me up! Thanks guy, don’t change a thing, even DellaCrosse 😁
I see the comments from some bad trads online, but have not seen that in person from the last 18 months of attending a Latin Mass. I have seen positive comments from my TLM parish about a local Novus Ordo parish that incorporates things like ad orientum and Communion rails.
Yes, I think the rad trads are given more credit by modernists. I think it's a tactic in order to make an issue bigger than it actually is inorder to isolate the TLM.
Fr. You are wonderful love that you laugh
Love you 3 faithful men! Thank you for all your teachings!
I loved this episode, it breaks my heart that you guys get so many bad comments. Don't even listen to them cause I think you guys are all amazing and you are doing so much for peoples faith and for the upbringing of the Church. Love you all, stay positive and joyful as always. P.s. the laughter and jokes are most of the time my favourite part, so contagious!
I love your theme song. It was one of the reasons why I decided to watch you guys. Thank you for sharing your Catholic perspectives.
Don’t listen to all the haters, brothers! You guys are the balls!! This show is exactly what the doctor ordered for the “unchurched”, and to help them understand what the Catholic life is all about, and how to live it out! You guys are just normal, and insanely cool and faithful dudes….And that is exactly what people need to see. Keep killin’ it boys 👊🏻
Thanks Peter!
The end of this episode ENDED ME 😂😭💀
Thanks guys, for keeping it light! Your love of Christ and His Church is so beautiful. I have learned so much and been so inspired by this show! Please keep on keeping on!! ❤️❤️
Ps the clock in the background could use a fresh set of batteries 😂😘
I'm a weak returning Catholic . I had learned so much from farther on Mike . I was gone for 8 years . God got my attention. Did all my confessions go to mass every sunday? Taking the holy week communion. After all that time being gone, now on the practice of Catholic, I made it back. I'm so grateful I had a wonderful priest to go to for confession . That was the biggest mistake of my life when I left I'm just grateful to be back .
Well done gentleme. I have no desire to go to the Latin mass. I have no desire to be gnostic about the Novus Ordo. Your show reminded me of the Sunday at my parish when the pastor called out parishioners that attended a local school board and caused chaos and called them out on it. He gained total respect from me for that. Keep it up brothers!
Great episode - thanks 10's all the way
As a new Catholic (confirmed 10/3) thank you all so much for bringing some sense and, most importantly, stability to this debate. My family and I love the liturgy, love the sacraments, love our parish and our local parish priest. It frustrates me so much to see this tearing the church at large apart. I understand the spirit from which it comes because it's the same thing happening in the world, but the Catholic Church is so beautiful and awesome, it disappoints me to see it happening. I pray that we can bring it together and get our focus where it belongs - on bringing light to a hurting world. Thank y'all and keep up the good work.
Thank youuuuu!!!! Catholics need to hear this. Well said.
LOL! This has been my favorite show by far! Your comments at the end! I’m crying from laughing so hard! I’m going to start financially supporting you guys ~ you can never get “rich” enough from your sponsors. Besides maybe there’ll be enough money left over for Dellacross to get his speech therapy and Fr. Rich to see his dentist for his next scheduled cleaning. 😅 I’ll even start shopping for Scheel a Shrek-sized coffee cup! 🤣
Keep up the good work by truly teaching us the beauty of our Catholic faith with lots of humor added! When y’all get to laughing together I can’t help but laugh along with you! Best. Episode. Ever. 👍🏼🙏🏽📿
I watch the Mass everyday if I can’t make daily Mass. I say the rosary twice a day and use the Rosary on internet. I watch you. During Covid I was very connected to my faith through the internet. But I agree with you about Social issues. God bless you and keep this show up👏👏👏👏👏🙏💕🙏
I appreciate what you guys are trying to do with this episode, but a lack of empathy and an attempt to understand the complaints and frustrations of the fellow Catholics being repeatedly referred to as “these people” was disappointing.
Thanks, we tried to be even, but appreciate the comment
Thank you. I felt like it was a bit of a straw man. Who are "these people"?
I'm sure we can find examples of people being jerks on-line (from all sides of all issues), but that doesn't represent most of us.
@@CatholicTalkShow Please do an episode on Anglicans
They said the things that’s on some of our minds. Scheel literally took the words out of my mouth. The frustrations and complaints these Catholics have are downright disrespectful to Catholics like me and others, but also to the pope. I’ve seen what has been said, no one needs to tell me. It’s just not okay. The pope is right in this. We need to find ways to unite, not separate, and the Latin mass was being used as a way to separate, an us vs them. He made it clear. We are all Catholics. Period. It was harsh how he did it, but I get where he’s coming from, and he’s right. You can disagree, but have respect. Many of them don’t.
@@ntmn8444 So you think we should abolish the Eastern Liturgies too?
This was hilarious. Good for you all in keeping a sense of humor in response to these comments. Joy is a fruit of the spirit!
I'm a fairly new follower of The Catholic Talk Show but I have to say I REALLY enjoyed this episode 👍😁 As for the "comments" by those who've only briefly watched your show....a few of them were comical but the majority of them showed that they truly don't understand your mission. Personally, I give 2 thumbs up and 5-🌟 So far I've enjoyed every single episode and love they way you show our Catholic faith in a beautiful light. Your discussions make my mind happy and my soul/heart smile 🥰😁
I'll pray for your "nay-sayers" and also for YOU! Don't change a thing about your show and keep our faith shining in the way you bring it to your faithful viewers😁👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I found clearing out the "clutter"- horoscopes, click bait articles- that room was naturally made for Father Mike and the rosary. Life changing. Next step- confession after a 15 year absence.
Thank you for having this conversation! It’s been a noticeable uptick on all the negative conversations
I thank the good Lord for the internet, and especially for the FEW Catholic ministries that are telling us the truth about what is going on. The problem isn't the internet. The problem is the leadership of the Church.
My parents were pre Vatican II and recited the Latin Mass, and then when it was time for my holy communion, they were disappointed with the new Mass (guitar Mass) or Liberal Mass. But, they made sure we were still raised Catholic, and remained true to the Catholic Church and teachings of the Church.
I think it's amazing that you can laugh on the show. I'm a catholic and have been watching your show for a couple of years now. Keep going I love your show.
This is an absolutely fantastic analysis. Thank you! You provided a needed voice and a firm reminder of what it means to be Catholic. As the song says, "They will know we are Christians by our love." I am both inspired and educated by your content and I appreciate your program immensely. Have a blessed Christmas!
The internet has helped me to gain knowledge of my Catholic faith. When I first started to learn what being Catholic meant (in my 40's) I realized even though I was born into the faith, growing up in the 60's and 70's I fell into the world view and just didn't know it. The internet has helped me to connect to Catholic shows (like yours) and other Catholics so I don't feel alone and like that "religious nut" that most of my friends and family now think I am. But I definitely see where you are coming from, because i have been on sites that were just getting nasty instead of having civil conversations and I ended up leaving them. But God bless shows such as yours, Matt Fraad, Trent Horn, and so many others who have helped me to come back to my faith and actually learn the teachings and understand the reasoning behind the teachings!
Thanks for the laughs! Loved this episode and love you guys. Stay blessed and keep on doing what you doing+
I love that this show is one of the rare programs (perhaps only one) that repeatedly points out the importance of not siding with the left or right and how toxic that can be. Thank you and God bless you
I love your guys podcast. It’s my go to so I can learn about the Catholic Church. Thank you for all the hard work you guys do. 🙏🏿
Thank you men for being able to laugh at yourselves. You guys do a great job with topics and helping people to understand the faith.
I am a Coach for the Catholic schools .. correction .. any child that wants to run ... BUT, I laugh and talk about your show to anyone that will listen ... or NOT listen! It doesn't matter! There are NO accidents with God! I listen to Bishop Barron daily and HIS site led me to y'all and YOU GUYS ARE MY FAVS!!! I am constantly looking for a "cool" way to connect God with the kids I coach, and you three and have provided me a buttload of fun material history and knowledge ... and you have definitely made a difference in the way I look at how God loves us so dearly. You speak to everyone. You have a way of connecting with everyone ... even the doubter. I have NO DOUBT God is high fiving and laughing with y'all! Thank you for making me a better Catholic and apostle to the kids I coach!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Love you guys!! You brighten my day!
Love you guys, right along with Father Mike and Keith Nestor. So much inspiration!!!!
New to your channel and I like what I'm hearing but I'm very grateful for all the great content that I find online. I was a lost/non informed Catholic and searching online brought me back. Thankful for that. And yes I agree with you guys on getting caught up in all the bad that's online as well. Get outside and do something useful is a great idea.
What a great show. The more you guys laugh and are funny, the better my day becomes. I needed happy.
Love you guys, love your show it's an absolute blast😁. My favourite CZcams channel. Have a blessed Christmas guys!🇦🇺
Loved the show tonight! You 3 really do have an anointing of the Holy Spirit. Those comments were mean! You all handled very well. The humour at the end was just what I needed! I doubled over laughing! Thanks for that.
Keep doing what your doing. I love this ministry! God Bless you guys!
Guys I was literally in tears of laughter towards the end. Thank you this was the best show yet! I was slowly getting sucked into the stuff you were talking about a way back but this show really nailed it! Again thank you!
I enjoy your laughter. Tackling controversies respectfully is also appreciate. And the music at the beginning and end of the show sounds good to me. God bless you.
But honestly, anyone who knows your names must be a fan. I remember after subscribing, for the first two months I didn't care to learn your names or even your faces. You all looked the same to me and in my head you were all Ryan. But you guys have grown on me.
This show has definitely been more of an acquired taste for me, it's not my usual style, but I love how humble and normal you are. It brings me back to earth, reminds me that knowing and intellectually believing things isn't enough to live a Catholic life, that I also must do, and be aware or the world around me. I remember at some point I was also annoyed by too much laughing and all that masculine energy, but I didn't unsubscribe because I knew watching you was good for my own balance. Now I really enjoy all of that and I can laugh with you. I think you can take the criticism, get better, but stay the same. Thank you for giving us this show.
Merry Christmas!
( By the way, it was through this show that I found out about Hallow in 2020, but I didn't click on your link 🙃)
I really bless God for this program because of the things I watched in the social media I started developing cool feet concerning the pope but I think he instead needs our prayers and the will of God be done
I’m so glad you’re agreeing with the holy father please pray for him
We need men specially priest who have holy jolly personality.
Our former pastor was so friendly and I miss him being around the church.

Listened to this episode on Spotify, but had to rewatch the hate comment portion on CZcams because it was so hilarious. The reason why I enjoy this podcast so much is because it's so refreshing to hear a group of guys laugh together and talk about their love for God. I am really thankful for this podcast show and hope that it continues to do well. Thank you for all that you guys do for the Catholic Church. (PS: never realized how nice Fr. Rich's "designer" teeth are, lol!)
Omg!!! Right on. This episode is legit 🔥 🔥 🔥 you riled me up. Ryan S said it right about the liturgy. At one point I started jumping up and down, yo! People be in here arguing the semantics of the liturgy, freaking something that doesn’t even matter, and then they want to say that because they go to Latin mass they’re somehow better Catholics than the rest of us. The liturgy that you choose to go to isn’t what makes you a good Catholic. Are you helping people? Are you feeding the poor, praying for the sick? No? Then it’s time to rethink your priorities. You’ve got them all wrong. The language in which you pray doesn’t matter. If it were of importance, then praying in Hebrew should be the language of choice, not Latin. Fr. Rich said it right. You need to receive the Eucharist VALIDLY, and that means I can take the Eucharist in my hand. If you don’t want to, you can take it by mouth, and it’s all good. BOTH are valid! The pope, regardless of how you feel about him, is the holy father. I don’t like his politics, but it’s not about him, really. It’s what he represents! He is the successor of St. Peter. People need to show more respect. Also, just because you vote conservative in your country doesn’t mean you need to politicize your faith too. I’m conservative, I’ve voted Republican since I could legally vote, but I go to NO mass. Why? Because I love my community there. My priests are awesome. One thing doesn’t have anything to do with the other, and the fact that people be on here trying to say that I need to go to Latin mass because of how I vote politically just makes no freaking sense!Again, Scheel got this right. This episode was legit what a lot of people needed, myself included. I thought I was alone in my thinking, and I’m glad I’m not. Thank you, Ryan S. And Fr. Rich. You guys really gave me hope. You too, Ryan D. You all have personally helped me. You’re part of the reason I came back to Catholicism. You’re doing the work that so many people need. It’s inspiring!
