Let's bring an older episode back from they crypt. Here we discuss Catholicism, vampires and how the tales of one bleed into the other.

This Sunday’s Gospel (Matthew 22:15–21) gives us the famous command to render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. But what if the most important part of this passage isn't about Caesar at all? Jesus asks whose image is stamped upon a coin. But we, too, bear an image: the image of God. In this week's Mystical Mass Prep, we're exploring what it means to belong to God, why our dignity goes deeper than anything the world can tell us, and how holiness transforms us into the likeness of Christ.

Tonight, you will be visited by three ghosts.Can the dead really return to the living? And what does the Catholic Church teach about ghosts?In this episode of St. Anthony's Tongue, we explore the strange Catholic theology of ghosts, drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Jerome, and St. Gregory the Great to understand why God might permit souls from heaven, hell, and purgatory to appear.Along the way, I'll share three ghost stories from the latest issue of *The Margins: A Catholic's Guide to Ghosts*, featuring St. Thomas Aquinas, Bl. Richard of St. Ann, and Padre Pio.We'll also explore what Catholics should do if they encounter a ghost.👻 Get Issue VII of The Margins: A Catholic's Guide to Ghosts: https://www.stanthonystongue.com/margins/p/issue-vii-a-catholics-guide-to-ghosts

In this special October episode of St. Anthony's Tongue, we're returning to some old-school strange Catholic storytelling to explore the eerie mystery of incorruptible saints. From the mysterious lights surrounding St. Charbel's tomb to the strange apparition of St. Andrew Bobola and the remarkably preserved body of St. Bernadette, we'll explore these extraordinary stories, separate fact from myth, and discover what incorruptibility reveals about theosis, the holiness of the human body, and the promise of resurrection. Inspired by my new book, A Catechism of the Strange.
