Joe reviews the backlash against the Just War portion of Pope Leo’s “Magnifica Humanitas.” Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk about the fight over just war that’s being fought right now in the aftermath of Pope Leo’s new and cyclical. I want to start with a little bit of context. On Memorial Day, Pope Leo released Magnifica Humanitas on safeguarding the human person and the time of artificial intelligence. It’s being called the popes uncyclical on AI, but that’s a little bit like Calling Rarem...

#269 Responding (Lovingly) to Wes Huff’s Reasons For Not Being Catholic
Wes Huff’s video “6 reasons why I’m not Roman Catholic” has started quite the conversation! Here’s Joe’s response to Wes (lovingly, of course). Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and on Thursday, Wes Huff released a video called Six Reasons Why I’m No Roman Catholic. Now, I am grateful to him for making the video for a few different reasons.

#268 The Jewish Roots of “Christ Is King”
Joe breaks down why Christ Is King has Jewish roots. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk about the phrase Christ is king. I love the phrase, but I’m also aware that people online sometimes use it today in ways that are regarded as and often meant as anti-Jewish. Now I know when I say that there’s already a segment of you who instantly want to write me off as being an overly sensitive person who thinks any criticism of Israel is antisemitic. But hear me out, that’s not me. And if you still think I’m wrong at the ...

#267 “Bible In Context” Got This Wrong In His Response to Me
Bible in Context is an Instagram page that regularly replies to Catholic creators, and has replied to several clips of Joe. Today Joe responds back! Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Many of you may be familiar with the Instagram account Bible in context. It’s run by a guy by the name of Patrick O’Brien, and he’s built a large following attacking Catholic teaching. He’s called the Rosary Demonic, said praying to saints is communicating with demons, and even called the Eucharist blasphemy. So needless to say, no fan of Catholici...

Joe reviews Christopher Cloos’ new argument in favor of Sola Scriptura, the Attribute Inscripturation Thesis (AIT). Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and many of you know I recently debated Doug Wilson on Sola Scriptura. If you haven’t seen that debate, you can check it out in the description below. But the debate prompted a lot of good conversations from both sides and one person in particular caught my attention because he offers a brand new argument for Solo Scriptura and for the 66th book Protestant Bible. That person is the Protestant...

#265 A SLAM DUNK Debate For Catholics (Fatima DEBATE REVIEW)
Joe reviews the recent debate on Capturing Catholicism between Ethan Muse and Sean of Anglican Aesthetics over the apparitions at Fatima. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and you all voted overwhelmingly for me to do a debate review of Sean Luke versus Ethan Muse on the question of whether the alleged Mary and Apparitions and Fatima were really Mary or whether, as Sean Luke claims, was really a demon.

#264 Redeemed Zoomer Critiques a Doctor of the Church…It Ends Poorly
Joe and Brayden from The Catechumen review Redeemed Zoomer’s “critique” of St. Frances de Sales. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and I’m excited to share a really good argument from one of my favorite saints responding to a popular YouTuber. I mean, obviously that’s not what he was originally doing, but along the way, I’m joined by one Mr. Braden Cook. Brayton, would you like to introduce yourself and then we’ll get into the tweet, the book, and the response? Brayden: Yeah, sure. Well, thanks for having me o...

Joe examines how Trump’s blasphemous meme actually points to a more serious problem spiritually in our culture today, and it’s a problem that most of us struggle with. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and this Easter season has been a wild one for American Catholics, particularly in terms of the clash of church and state.
