It's easy to be a Christian when you are an idiot. Today the boys are joined by two of the smartest guys we know (One is a scientist of sorts, the other is a philosopher of sorts) to talk about Christian faith and scientific fact.  Today we use big words.   Apologies to Evie for the giggling. 

Today the boys follow up with previous guest and newly ordained DEACON Todd Boyer. This is a rare joyful episode of the podcast, so sit back and enjoy.   Apologies to Evie for the giggling.   

Today the boys sit down with friend of the podcast, Daniel Quintero, and distinguished guest, Tori Oswald, to discuss what we're respectfully calling "LGBT issues" and the Church.  We at the Stump a Catholic podcast are decidedly conservative, orthodox Christians. We are not confused about church teaching on marriage, sexual intimacy, scandal, or anything like that. However, we have been confused by and struggled with the way we as a church relate to the LGBT community. And we have struggled with our understanding of the plight of the LGBT community. Today's episode probably contains more questions than answers, but we firmly believe in the importance of those questions and hope you will hear us out.    Links from today's show: The Sisters of Mercy Spiritual Friendship Gay and Catholic by Eve Tushnet Always our Children: A Pastoral Message to Parents of Homosexual Children and Suggestions for Pastoral Ministers

Today the boys talk about a recent wave of state legislatures turning the tide on the death penalty in the United States.  How should we approach capital punishment as Christians?

Today on our show the boys visit the Muslim Children Education and Civic Center for an event called Fastathon. During Fastathon the center invites non-Muslims to join in their Ramadan fast for a day. For every non-Muslim who breaks fast at the center, the community is donating $100 to charity in their name.  It's a great program and a great opportunity for communion with our Muslim neighbors.  In this episode we are joined by Sakib Shaikh, Director of Public Relations and Outreach for the MCECC. This is a great conversation that we are excited to share with you. For feedback, holler at the boys (Meaning Rey because Trevor and Trenton don't keep up with the internet.) on social media: @ReyGuevara  

Today the boys are off on an adventure to learn more about our Muslim neighbors, and we want you to join us!   The Fastathon is an event in San Antonio hosted by the Muslim Education and Civic Center (MCECC) where non-Muslims are invited to participate in a day of fasting during Ramadan and to break the fast at the center. For every participant, the Center will donate $100 to charity. If you live in the San Antonio area and want to participate, you have until June 3, when Ramadan ends. We hope you can make it out this week. Stay tuned for an interview coming at you this Sunday. 

Spoiler Alert! Today, after allowing plenty of time for the audience to see Avengers: Endgame, the boys discuss the movie. Along the way we discuss fatalism and the moral questions surrounding time and space travel.  We also spoil every single Marvel movie, so seriously don't listen if you don't want spoilers.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Today on the show the guys discuss a recent report which shows a spike in teen suicide in 2017 following the release of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. How do we approach depression and suicide in the Church? What can we improve in our approach? And what happens to people who die from suicide anyway? All this and more in another patented Bummer Episode!  And to anyone living with depression, the boys would like to honestly express our solidarity with you. We also ask that you reach out to someone close and be honest about what you're going through. You've made it through every moment in your life that you didn't think you could make it through. You'll make it through this.

What does it mean to be "like Christ?" Today on the show the boys talk about Christian violence, if there is such a thing.  We are experimenting with the idea of putting a guide in the show notes for what topics we discuss, since SOME PEOPLE have said we are all over the place. If you don't want the conversation spoiled, stop reading now. If you are impatient, below you will find approximate time stamps for the conversations that follow. The New Green Deal and Climate Change: 14:00 Biblical Hermeneutics and the Book of Revelation: 29:00 Is violence morally permissible?: 31:30 Trenton learns how a joke works: 36:00 Rey is profound: 40:00  The Lord gives a warning: 53:00 The stupidest thing Trenton has ever said: 55:50 Apologies to Evie for the giggling. 

Today on our show we continue our salute to the incomparable Gungor with a deep dive into "Christian Music."  Why is "worship" such a loaded word? Why does Rey hate the term "worship leader?" Why can't Trenton stay on topic? Find answers to these questions and more on the Stump a Catholic podcast.  Apologies to Evie for the giggling. 

In certain circles of the American Christian world the name "Gungor" inspires controversy. In this particular podcast studio that name mostly inspires dancing.  Gungor recently announced their farewell tour (of sorts). Today we talk about that tour and the band behind it as well as the controversies surrounding the band.  If you're here purely for the theology, you can fast forward to about the 26-minute mark.  Apologies to Evie for the giggling. 

On January 31st, 2019 the Archdiocese of San Antonio released a report on sexual abuse allegations in the diocese going back to the 1940s. Today on our show we discuss the report and the crisis of abuse cover ups in the Catholic church and the Christian world.  Due to the content, this may be an episode that you need to skip, and we respect that completely. Still, no matter how difficult discussions like this are, we believe they have to take place so that the people who do evil things in our midst are forced into the light.  Useful links:  The Washington Post's article on the Pennsylvania grand jury report Rey's article on the Archdiocese of San Antonio The Report on Child Sexual Abuse by Clergy in the Archdiocese of San Antonio Kyrie Eleison 

Earlier in the week Rey managed to get on his favorite podcast, The RELEVANT Podcast, in just the stupidest way possible. We felt the topic needed to be addressed in a minisode of its own.  This week's regular episode of the Stump a Catholic Podcast will be in your feed Sunday, as usual.  Please be sure to download the latest episode of the RELEVANT Podcast. Or at least listen to it starting around the 13 minute mark. 

On today's episode the boys sit down with long time friend and world traveler, Daniel Quintero. Daniel has been a constant and powerful presence in Rey's life throughout the years. Last month he went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Today he shares the fruits of that experience with us.  Apologies to Evie for the giggling.  Stay tuned after the show for bonus material from the show.

On today's episode Rey recaps his trip to the March for Life in Washington D.C. with Trevor and Trenton.

On today's episode Rey and Trenton visit renaissance man, Stephen Cheney, to discuss religion and politics. A lot of voices seem to have a lot to say about how Catholics should or should not vote. Today we discuss what the Church actually says. 

On today's episode I sit down with an old friend, Todd Boyer, to talk about his journey to the Diaconate. Todd is in formation to become a deacon in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.    Music in today's episode: Enemy Love by John Mark McMillan. 

Do you think it is easy to get a podcast about Catholicism? They aren't just handing these things out to anybody. It takes years of hard work and assorted nonsense to get to this point. On today's episode we take a look back at our formative years working in the Church. We hope you find it as hilarious as we did.    Music in this episode: All I Want For Christmas - Mariah Carey
