Grilling His HoliMess w/Tony & Cheryl Porta

“Fr. Paul, is it a sin to attend a family member’s wedding if they aren’t getting married ‘in The Church?”

“If the Pope changes the rules on celibacy for priests, would you get married?”

“How can I belong to a Church whose priests have abused children and whose leadership has covered it up?”

“As a Catholic, do we have to vote pro-life, even when other important issues must be considered?”

“Can Catholics do yoga?”

“How does a non-believer become a believer?”

These are just some of the questions that Fr. Paul has been asked “on the spot” during the recording of this episode. Join newlyweds Tony and Cheryl Porta as they “grill” His HoliMess with questions that listeners have submitted for this show. It gets “juicy” and “fiery” at times and will also certainly make you laugh. It’s a first of its kind for A Holy Mess w/His HoliMess, but it most certainly won’t be the last. In fact, after you watch/listen to this episode, submit your questions for future “Grilling His HoliMess” episodes to grillinghisholimess@gmail.com. We’ll do part 2 sooner than later!

About the Podcast

A Holy Mess
With His HoliMess Father Paul
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.
