Lift Up Your Hearts: From Attendance to Transcendence by Louie Calma

Theology on Tap OC's default schedule is the First Tuesdays of each month from February to December, and it is the custom that the first talk of the year will be given by the lead organizer of this ministry, Louie Calma. Louie explored the elements of the Mass that most people tend to gloss over. As an Instituted Acolyte, he serves as an MC (Master of Ceremonies) and as a Subdeacon at St. John Henry Newman Catholic Church in Irvine. Why is the Mass the way it is? Doesn't relationship with God matter more than religion and rituals? How can an ancient practice serve modern man's spiritual needs? Additional resources: What Happens at Mass by Fr. Jeremy Driscoll, OSBGIRM, Third EditionSacrosanctum Concilium (On the Sacred Liturgy) by Vatican 2If you find Theology on Tap OC helpful, please prayerfully consider giving a one-time or recurring tax-deductible donation to our apostolate by texting CHEERS2JESUSto 84576 or by visiting our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The Road to Purity: From Brokenness to Serenity by Steven Caswell

DISCLAIMER: This is a sensitive for it is about recovering from sexual addiction and use of pornography. Listener discretion is advised. To conclude the 2025 season, we featured a conversation between Louie Calma, the director of Theology on Tap OC, and Steven Caswell, the Director of Clergy and Community Partnerships for Road to Purity. This conversation focused on Steven's journey of faith and healing with the help of Road to Purity. What are the warning signs of sexual addiction? How can parents and friends identify them and provide proper support? Why is this field in ministry not as widespread? And what service and support does Road to Purity provide to parishes?

The Joy of Evangelization: Our Mission, God's Imagination by Jose Miguel Pulido

Our speaker for November 2025 is a returning speaker, Jose Pulido, the founder of At The Service. In August 2024, he talked about evangelization inspired by the Holy Family. He also conducted a mini workshop on how to effectively share our Faith especially with those who are close to us. He also just published a new book, How to Evangelize Anyone. As a sequel to his 2024 talk, Jose will share how to clearly articulate our mission in evangelization and at the same time, dive into God's imagination when faith is put into action.

On Factions: When Reverence Becomes Resistance by Nicholas Bezzina

Our speaker for October was Nicholas Bezzina, one of the Instituted Acolytes serving at St. John Henry Newman and he will share his journey of faith, including his experience with traditionalist circles. As the world spirals out of control and cultural foundations constantly being eroded, many are flocking into the Church to find stability. However, even the Church is not immune to its members forming cliques, factions, and political parties. What is obedience? When does fidelity devolve into factionalism? How do we guard against factionalism? And what kind of authority does the Church wield regarding discipline and worship? These are some of the questions Nick addressed in his talk.

Built for Eternity: Church Architecture and Theology by Fr. Daniel Seo

Our speaker for September 2025 was Fr. Daniel Seo of Our Lady of Peace Korean Catholic Center, and he spoke on the role of beauty and theology when it comes to Church Architecture. Isn't beauty subjective? How can the Church justify expensive buildings in the midst of poverty? What is the role of church design in glorifying God? What should be the purpose of a church building? These are some of the questions Fr. Seo addressed in this talk.

Why Bother Becoming Catholic? by Brandon Traut

July is the month dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus and our speaker was Steve Lovison, founder of Adoration Servants, an organization that provides a comprehensive Eucharistic Adoration System for use by any chapel such as SF Adoration and OC Adoration.
