Fr. Paul Houlis is, in no way, His Holiness, but he sure is, “His HoliMess.” He knows from personal experience that one’s life can truly be a beautiful, holy, mess.
Are we not all, in some way, “A Holy Mess?” After all, holiness is messy! We live in a messy world, and God entered the depths of its “messiness” and made it “holy”. He can do the same for one’s life!
So tune in, and bring your mess with you. You’ll find out that God doesn’t just clean the mess of one’s life but uses it! He turns our mess into a beautiful message of hope…if we let Him.
Join “His HoliMess” for a clean, but very messy podcast.

Fr. Paul Houlis is a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, in New Jersey. Before entering the seminary, he pursued a career in stand-up comedy and acting in New York City. His life was flipped upside down shortly after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Faced with the close reality of death, he starting asking questions about life. He soon found that true life was found in living a life for others, not just for self. "If you get me through this I'll dedicate my life to helping your children," he cried out to GOD. The rest is history.
Fr. Paul desires to use his love for comedy and entertainment to help bring others joy. After all, the Christian person must be a person of joy. For GOD truly is a JOY to the world....even in it's mess.

    Loving A Filthy Mess Of A Church w/Hope: “That’s What I’m Talking About!!!” With “Uncle” Matt Laracy

    Loving A Filthy Mess Of A Church w/Hope: “That’s What I’m Talking About!!!” With “Uncle” Matt Laracy

    “To love Christ, you must love His Church.” “But how? The Church is a holy (and unholy) mess!” Never before has Fr. Paul been left speechless with his jaw down/mouth open until “Uncle” Matt Laracy shared the secret to why he is immune to all of the scandals in the Church. It’s probably the most powerful thing ever shared on A Holy Mess podcast.
    Matt Laracy, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Theologian, Philosopher, Life-Long Catechist, U.P.S Career man, Lover of Maverick Priests, Blog Writer, and faithful friend of His HoliMess, comes on the show to give us all a good “shot in the arm” of hope, faith, perseverance, charity, challenge, respect and yes, virility when it comes to our Catholic faith. It’s a shot we all currently need in these scandalous times! You are not going to want to miss this episode!

    Transgender Baptisms, Bishop Strickland, & Pope Francis w/Michael Lofton.

    Transgender Baptisms, Bishop Strickland, & Pope Francis w/Michael Lofton.

    You want the truth? “You can’t handle the truth!!!” Actually, you can, but it takes humility and courage. You can know the truth, understand the truth, and adhere to the truth. Are you willing?
    Right now, many are angry, confused, and disillusioned by The Pope and The Church, but should they be? There’s a lot of hype and negativity going around about the two latest “bombshells” dropped by The Catholic Church in the past week: The Vatican’s response to questions about whether a Transgender person can be baptized, a godparent, and a witness at a wedding or not, as well as Pope Francis’s removal of Bishop Strickland as the Bishop of Tyler, Texas. Many people are jumping to conclusions, but what is the truth? What is The Church actually saying about the former (Transgender questions), and what is Pope Francis’s actual authority regarding the latter (Strickland)? 
    Michael Lofton, Host and Founder of “Reason & Theology” and Theologian who specializes in the area of The Church’s Magisterium, joins His HoliMESS to talk about His HoliNESS’s teachings, authority, pontificate, and much more. Lofton, who is extremely fair and balanced, calls out dissent on both sides of the spectrum: the far left and the far right. He challenges us to learn what The Church and/or The Pope actually teaches and remain faithful to it/him, rather than just believing headlines and commentary by those outside, and even inside, The Church, leading people astray. 
    This is a conversation that you’re not going to want to miss. It can help bring peace and calm in the chaos and storm.

    St. Therese of Lisieux: Miracle Worker, Doctor, & Missionary w/Mary Beth Bracy

    St. Therese of Lisieux: Miracle Worker, Doctor, & Missionary w/Mary Beth Bracy

    Do you ever think Catholicism/Christianity is just too complicated, overwhelming, or massive? Do you want the entire thing simplified for you? Meet St. Therese of Lisieux and get to know her “Little Way.”
    She’s the youngest saint and only one of three women in the history of Christianity to be named Doctor of the Church. She promised to spend her time in Heaven by doing good on earth. This is how it’s possible for St. Therese of Lisieux, who never left her convent in France, to travel the whole world, sending down a “shower of roses” as she did.
    Mary Beth Bracy from Sophia Press Institute, and author of her own books on Therese, joins His HoliMess to discuss the latest book, “I Want To Travel The World” (the sub-title is the title of this episode) by the world-renown expert on the life of writings of St. Therese and former auxiliary bishop of Lisieux, Guy Gaucher, O.C.D.
    Fr. Paul also reflects on his recent time spent in Lisieux and the life-changing impact a talk on Therese’s spirituality is affecting him significantly.
