In this episode, the dogs regroup after an 18 month hiatus (3:10). They talk about Connor’s keynote address at Rob’s parish (4:30) and the crucified Christ as the ultimate idol smasher (9:55). Connor reminisces about riding into Luquillo on a horse (13:30) and Mike shares his favorite part of the Palm Sunday liturgy (21:30). They all contemplate how unsettling Holy Week can be and the humility of the priesthood (23:00).Quotes:“Do you wanna control the future?” (Connor, 7:40)“Creating a Eucharistic culture- it will bear fruit- but if you aim at the fruit you will make it something weird.” (Connor, 8:00)“When you start reaching and grasping for joy is when you can’t find it.” (Connor quoting C.S. Lewis, 8:18)“A lot of what we do is thinly veiled control of the future.” (Mike, 8:40)“Idols always promise control and a better future and no more suffering.” (Connor, 10:20)“I love that Palm Sunday is one of the days you get to say ass during the liturgy.” (Mike, 21:39)“The sacraments are visible signs of the invisible reality. We cannot make invisible things visible by our strategies and teaching methods.” (Connor, 27:00)“In a world that’s full of death, you have to shout.” (Mike quoting Flannery O’Connor, 27:40)“My job is not to be a teacher; my job is to be a priest, to offer sacrifice and worship.” (Mike, 28:40)“I am not God and yet he lives in me in a way that the people need to accept in order that he may do his work.” (Connor, 30:30)Media Mentions:Matthew 16:22Ace Ventura: When Nature CallsReferences:SEEKFort BraggMundelein SeminarySIUEUICC.S.
