Steph is still proud to be the only Chavara cousin who got $3 instead of $2 on her patron saint’s feast day. Little Anne dreamed of being one day canonized but never totally worked out the details. The hosts also get macabre as they talk ouija boards and preserved pope corpses (only ONE of which the Catholic Church apparently finds creepy. Can you guess?!?!). 2022-10-1850 minLapsedLapsedThe Catholic AfterlifeStephanie and Anne take a deep dive into what Catholic school and CCD taught them about life after death.

Steph dishes on Francis’s drink of choice. Anne is jazzed that some Catholic bishops are starting to speak out about gun control legislation…until Steph totally (rightfully) harshes her mellow. Anne also fangirls over a fellow progressive, midwestern, redhead “straight, white, Christian, suburban mom" and does her best to sniff out Catholic influences in Disney.

Listen in as they recount what they were and weren’t taught in Catholic school about a pregnant person's right to control their own body. Along the way they do manage some levity….like when they learn of the 9 sins that will get you kicked out of the church (hint: don’t punch the pope).

Matthew, Anne and Steph talk Catholic-style high school musicals (NO to references to teen pregnancy, YES to nuns in the audience); the calisthenics involved in the Stations of the Cross; and that time Matthew leveraged his acting skills to pass a Chemistry class.
