A Holy Mess

Fr. Paul Houlis is, in no way, His Holiness, but he sure is, “His HoliMess.” He knows from personal experience that one’s life can truly be a beautiful, holy, mess. Are we not all, in some way, “A Holy Mess?” After all, holiness is messy! We live in a messy world, and God entered the depths of its “messiness” and made it “holy”. He can do the same for one’s life! So tune in, and bring your mess with you. You’ll find out that God doesn’t just clean the mess of one’s life but uses it! He turns our mess into a beautiful message of hope…if we let Him. Join “His HoliMess” for a clean, but very messy podcast. Fr. Paul Houlis is a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, in New Jersey. Before entering the seminary, he pursued a career in stand-up comedy and acting in New York City. His life was flipped upside down shortly after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Faced with the close reality of death, he starting asking questions about life. He soon found that true life was found in living a life for others, not just for self. "If you get me through this I'll dedicate my life to helping your children," he cried out to GOD. The rest is history. Fr. Paul desires to use his love for comedy and entertainment to help bring others joy. After all, the Christian person must be a person of joy. For GOD truly is a JOY to the world....even in it's mess.

    Transgender Baptisms, Bishop Strickland, & Pope Francis w/Michael Lofton.

    You want the truth? “You can’t handle the truth!!!” Actually, you can, but it takes humility and courage. You can know the truth, understand the truth, and adhere to the truth. Are you willing? Right now, many are angry, confused, and disillusioned by The Pope and The Church, but should they be? There’s a lot of hype and negativity going around about the two latest “bombshells” dropped by The Catholic Church in the past week: The Vatican’s response to questions about whether a Transgender person can be baptized, a godparent, and a witness at a wedding or not, as well as Pope Francis’s removal of Bishop Strickland as the Bishop of Tyler, Texas. Many people are jumping to conclusions, but what is the truth? What is The Church actually saying about the former (Transgender questions), and what is Pope Francis’s actual authority regarding the latter (Strickland)?  Michael Lofton, Host and Founder of “Reason & Theology” and Theologian who specializes in the area of The Church’s Magisterium, joins His HoliMESS to talk about His HoliNESS’s teachings, authority, pontificate, and much more. Lofton, who is extremely fair and balanced, calls out dissent on both sides of the spectrum: the far left and the far right. He challenges us to learn what The Church and/or The Pope actually teaches and remain faithful to it/him, rather than just believing headlines and commentary by those outside, and even inside, The Church, leading people astray.  This is a conversation that you’re not going to want to miss. It can help bring peace and calm in the chaos and storm.  Visit Michael’s website here: https://reasonandtheology.com Subscribe to Michael’s YouTube page here:@ReasonandTheology Get a copy of Michael’s book here: https://shop.catholic.com/answering-orthodoxy-a-catholic-response-to-attacks-from-the-east/ Please download, subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode and podcast.  Email His HoliMESS for questions, requests, bookings, etc., at [email protected].  Give a gift to support the mission/ministry of A Holy Mess podcast on Venmo @HisHoliMess or click here: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3670815182685804759&created=1668625764.0893679&printed=1 0R via Paypal here: PayPal.Me/AHolyMesspodcast  Featuring music by Mike Mangione.

    St. Therese of Lisieux: Miracle Worker, Doctor, & Missionary w/Mary Beth Bracy

    Do you ever think Catholicism/Christianity is just too complicated, overwhelming, or massive? Do you want the entire thing simplified for you? Meet St. Therese of Lisieux and get to know her “Little Way.” She’s the youngest saint and only one of three women in the history of Christianity to be named Doctor of the Church. She promised to spend her time in Heaven by doing good on earth. This is how it’s possible for St. Therese of Lisieux, who never left her convent in France, to travel the whole world, sending down a “shower of roses” as she did. Mary Beth Bracy from Sophia Press Institute, and author of her own books on Therese, joins His HoliMess to discuss the latest book, “I Want To Travel The World” (the sub-title is the title of this episode) by the world-renown expert on the life of writings of St. Therese and former auxiliary bishop of Lisieux, Guy Gaucher, O.C.D. Fr. Paul also reflects on his recent time spent in Lisieux and the life-changing impact a talk on Therese’s spirituality is affecting him significantly.

    Grilling His HoliMess w/Tony & Cheryl Porta

    “Fr. Paul, is it a sin to attend a family member’s wedding if they aren’t getting married ‘in The Church?” “If the Pope changes the rules on celibacy for priests, would you get married?” “How can I belong to a Church whose priests have abused children and whose leadership has covered it up?” “As a Catholic, do we have to vote pro-life, even when other important issues must be considered?” “Can Catholics do yoga?” “How does a non-believer become a believer?” These are just some of the questions that Fr. Paul has been asked “on the spot” during the recording of this episode. Join newlyweds Tony and Cheryl Porta as they “grill” His HoliMess with questions that listeners have submitted for this show. It gets “juicy” and “fiery” at times and will also certainly make you laugh. It’s a first of its kind for A Holy Mess w/His HoliMess, but it most certainly won’t be the last. In fact, after you watch/listen to this episode, submit your questions for future “Grilling His HoliMess” episodes to [email protected]. We’ll do part 2 sooner than later! Need a great chiropractor?
