Back to EpisodesWhy NFL Fans Have More Zeal Than Catholics (And Yes… I’m Calling Us Out)
Description
Why is it that the guy at the football stadium will take his shirt off, paint his chest, scream like a lunatic for four hours… but we Catholics can barely stay awake for a 55-minute Mass where JESUS CHRIST is literally present?
Yeah. I’m calling us out. And I’m calling myself out.
Because for years I treated Catholicism like a spiritual DMV appointment—get in, get my hour, get out.
In this video, I dive into:
🏈 Why sports fans have more zeal than most Catholics
📚 How decades of awful catechesis left many of us lukewarm
😬 Why so many of us grew up in Catholic homes that barely acted Catholic
🔥 Why knowing the faith is the ONLY way to fall in love with it
😑 How modern Catholic leadership often seems embarrassed to be… Catholic
💥 And why maybe God is calling ordinary “crappy Catholics” like us to actually become the heroes we wish we had
If you’ve ever wondered why being Catholic sometimes feels like a chore… or why you’re not “on fire” the way the saints were… this one’s for you.
No guilt trips. No theologian-speak.
Just a fellow Crappy Catholic trying to figure out how not to be so… crappy.
