Hi folks, this is Dom Betanelli and I want to tell you about a brand new show at StarQuest that I'm sure you're going to love, because I love it already. It's called Holy Trouble Makers and the first episode dropped Wednesday September 9th. Here's the idea. The Catholic Church gets built by... Difficult people. Mystics who argued with popes, missionaries who walked into places nobody sane would go. Faiths were completely human and completely on fire for God at the same time. Every episode is one of their stories, told as a story with the beginning, the middle, and an end. And I'll start with Saint Peter, a married fisherman from Bethsito who walked off his boat one morning, denied his lord three times in a courtyard before sunrise, and died upside down in Rome. I take you to the places where it actually happened. The house in Capernaum plastered floor to ceiling and covered in pilgrim graffiti in four languages,
with a Byzantine church built right on top of it. The pagan shrine at Cesarea, Philippi, that people called the Gates of Hades, which is where Jesus asked, who do you say that I am? The charcoal fire in the high priest's courtyard, where Peter got the answer wrong, and the second charcoal fire on a beach in Galilee, where Jesus asked him the same question three times. And you'll hear those fires, their sound design under all of it, and music to carry the mood, so you're standing there while I tell it. It ends under the high altar of Saint Peter's Basilica, with the bones of an old man wrapped in purple and gold cloth the feet missing. The evidence is contested, and I lay out both sides. This in one will run 10 weeks, Benedict, Francis Ignatius, Elizabeth Ancetan, Newman, Mother Cabrini, and more, one every Wednesday. So go to sqpn.com slash troublemakers, and subscribe today, or search for truly troublemakers
wherever you're listening to this right now. I'll see you there.
