If the life of Saint Therese of Lisieux teaches us one thing it’s to savor the precious time we have with the people we really love (as well as the people we can’t stand) and maybe commemorate that lovewith professional portraits. Along the way we talk about maybe being too attached to your sisters, not bugging the Pope for every little thing, why Phoenix is a bad idea, and get bogged down more than once about the obsolete photo department of a defunct corporation. Plus, Anna and Matthew stand on the moral high ground to dunk pretty hard on the Riyadh Comedy Festival. ⁠And show off your love for this podcast with an exclusive Saint Agoostine t-shirt.⁠ ⁠Please rate, review,⁠ and subscribe wherever you can.

“Nobody’s perfect but some people could be a hell of a lot better.” This quote from Matthew pretty much summarizes the life of Saint John Chrysostom. A champion of the poor and a great orator but also am antisemite and a tosser of ladies.  Plus, Anna finds out there is such a thing as a free lunch and Matthew gains more power. ⁠And show off your love for this podcast with an exclusive Saint Agoostine t-shirt.⁠ ⁠Please rate, review,⁠ and subscribe wherever you can.

Join us for terrible visions, dog faced boys, failed fiancé retrieval, and distinct lack of shoes.

Into every life a little rain must fall and in the case of life of Saint Swithun, maybe too much. Honestly, we don’t find out too terribly much about his life but we do get to hear about his holy holes, his surf banquets, his many charter witnesses, his love of outdoor graves, and his facility with eggs.  Plus, Anna in in a moral quandary about ethical milk substitutes and Matthew runs into Anna in the most unlikely of places.

Matthew’s audio is messed up this episode but not nearly as messed up as the life of Pope Saint Gregory VII. Sure he was Pope but does that mean he was any good? He was elevated by a mob to make an army, centralize corruption, and getthe most strongly worded letter in history Plus, Anna and Matt eulogize a nice Pope who really flew over the very low bar set by previous ones (see the above sentences).

Look, we have nothing against Whales but we keep doing these episodes anyways. This time it's Saint David under our snarky microscope adn we talk about him and a ton of other stuff too.
