Orthodixie Unmasked!

Sometimes we're too familiar with a Gospel passage. Fr Joseph's retelling of the story of Zacchaeus is, to say the least, a li'l diff.

I recently received word that my high school football coach was celebrating his 100th birthday. I thought he was old when I played for him over 40 years ago! Now I know he was my age NOW . . . way back then. Coach Cullivan features prominently in this old podcast. Even if you’ve heard it, in honor of him beginning his 101st year, give it a listen.

In these challenging times, we are tempted to look back and think, "Where have all the good times gone?" Fr Joseph says, "Take off your mask!"

How long will we have to live like this: COVID, masks, hate, doom, divisive politics, closures, and cancellations? Fr Joseph answers from St Joseph/Houston.

Everyone who's Orthodox likes Pascha a lot. But the Germ who lived just beyond our grasp did not!

You ever had a wreck with the bishop in the car? Yeah, well, lemme tell ya before he does: I have!

FYI, this episode is a gentle rant. It's not PC, but GTGFAT.

It ain't easy being a Dry Fry Step Count Ascetic Athlete!

After nearly three decades in Orthodoxy, Fr Joseph says he’s attended only one real-deal silent retreat. It happened in his own parish. The retreat flyer stated: This is a silent retreat: no screens, no phones, no gadgets . . . a detox from worldly noise and distractions. (Pretty scary, huh?)

Looking back: first, ten years; then, past Mary Poppins; all the way to Arius—even to a dinosaur—Fr. Joseph sings a couple Orthodox ditties, recounts a heretical tune, and concludes with possibly worse!
