A Holy Mess A Holy Mess

“If God existed, you wouldn’t have cerebral palsy.” This is what A Holy Mess’s latest guest was recently told. Meet J.M. Kraemer, Disability Advocate and founder of the Lego Church Project, where Catholicism, Disability, and LEGO meet. If there is one thing J.M. knows for sure, it’s that no matter what challenge or difficulty one faces, God can still use your talents, and he’s allowing God to do just that with him. So join His HoliMess and J.M. to discover how The Church can do more to help persons with disabilities and learn about the very cool ministry of the Lego Church Project. You’ll want to see these magnificent LEGO churches that J.M. builds. LEGO knows about his work but steers away because it’s “religious.” Let’s support him and get the word out there so he can be even more of an inspiration to many!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY THEOTOKOS KIDS ON THIS EPISODE THAT IS BEING MADE PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. BE SURE TO TUNE IN.
Are you sick and tired of corny, ugly, uninspiring, and dumbed-down Catholic material for your children? Theotokos Kids is here "to save the day!" (Okay, that was a cheesy Mighty Mouse reference from His HoliMess, but the cheese stops there.) Join Fr. Paul and Veronica Caballero, creator, author, and owner of Theotokos Kids, discussing an amazing Catholic resource for children and the whole family. The purpose of Theotokos Kids is to aid parents in their mission of being primary educators for their children and to do so with the help of the saints! Their books honor beautiful stories like the lives of our heavenly friends and give an introductory view of the concepts of prayer, heaven, the Eucharist, and God’s love for us. Keeping the faith at the center of family life should be made easy. They aim to support parents as they lead their children in the Christian life and pass on the faith to the next generation! They have three brand-new products launching on Sept. 1st, 2023. Be sure to visit the following link then and kickstart your Theotokos Kids journey: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theotokoskids/theotokos-kids-marian-collection?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=theotokos

Matt D’Antuono was a beer-drinking college frat rugby player nicknamed “Tank Top” who didn’t care about his Catholic faith. Soon enough, he put down the beer and picked up the bible. He became anti-Catholic, but a search for the truth led him “back to Rome.” He’s now a brilliant Catholic apologist and philosopher. He has two bachelor's and two master’s degrees and is working on his doctorate. Oh, by the way, he’s also a public high school physics teacher! He’s an associate of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and writes for the National Catholic Register. He has authored several books on philosophy, including A Fool’s Errand. Yet most of all, he’s a loving, faithful, devout husband to his wife Emily and the father of their nine children (four adopted) who live on a hobby farm while homeschooling. Reading his resume is so exhaustive that it makes you want to nap, but hearing and seeing him tell his story perks you so up that you’ll be hanging on his every word. Welcome, Matt “Tank Top” D’Antuono to A Holy Mess!

He was once a pro-life atheist who intentionally set out to end abortion AND destroy the Catholic Church. This is just one reason why Jason Jones is, without a doubt, the most fascinating man Fr. Paul has ever met. 
Film Producer, Author, Activist, Popular Podcast Host, Human Rights Worker. These are just some of the many hats Jason wears. He’s known best for being president of the Human-Rights Education and Relief Organization (H.E.R.O.), known for its two main programs, The Vulnerable People Project and Movie to Movement. 
In 2006, Jones was an Executive Producer of "Bella," which won several film industry awards, most notably the People's Choice Award at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival.
He is currently in Hawaii, helping the most vulnerable victims of the destruction of Lahaina, Maui, caused by the recent wildfires. Please listen to “Part 2” of this episode, “Hope For Hawaii,” coming very soon.

A.K.A., Barbie & The Theology of the Body
Catholics and Conservatives are trashing the movie Barbie and telling people to not see it, but should an excellent opportunity to take themes from the movie and attempt to evangelize/catechize the masses of fanatical fans of this current cinema phenomenon be passed up? We think not! Join Fr. Paul Houlis, Emily Appledorn, and Susan Godeaux for a Holy Mess of a movie review of Barbie as seen through the lens of the Theology of the Body. 
CAUTION, there will be spoilers!!! 
   Themes discussed: What Am I Made For? Creator & Creature. Perfectionism. Beauty. Barbie/Ken & Adam/Eve. “The Real World” & Historical/Fallen Man. Wanting to be seen, loved, and desired. Body Image. Not feeling “enough.” Objectivity & Lust. Gender and G******s. Patriarchy and Feminism. The reality of dying, and sooooooo much more! 
Plus, Fr. Paul shares personal stories of his past that were triggered by watching and talking about the film. 
    RESOURCE: As per Emily’s pitch at the end of episode, an excellent source for women and couples struggling with infertility: https://popepaulvi.com/?fbclid=IwAR0EozXi2YhXEgr2h79j3ZxFeJN92G76E5a3mqLP_cGC7lKO10EVkHNvBoE_aem_AaZrABH_NADyxfIVcRaUNy6ZoiSLWSLuhb-a253iX4sOOAcjqqRW-7_yxIk3VDNrtLs
