Saints preserve us!
Okay, so who are these saints, and why are some of them so troubling? In this episode (Part 1 of 2) , Christine, Erica, and Seth are joined by a special guest to discuss saints whose lives and deeds were somewhat questionable, or whose memories are used for dubious purposes.
Seth introduces Junípero Serra, whose role as "Apostle" to California has come under some scrutiny in the last few decades. Guest speaker, Anthony, shares some of his personal family history involving the California saint.
Erica leads us through the scandalous/hilarious/suspicious life of St. Julian the Hospitaller. A side discussion covers how annoying the word "hospitaller" is.
And, finally, the moment we've all been waiting for; Christine leads us through exactly why she has such a beef with St. Jerome. Buckle up and prepare for the rant.
A few honorable mentions round out the hour, and set the stage for next week's continued discussion.
