Wait, You Can't Have Sex?!
12/12/23 • 63 min
Without fail, one of the first things we are asked when we introduce ourselves as aspirants of the priesthood is, “Wait, you do know priests can’t have sex or get married, right?”
The first time we were asked, we were taken by surprise; however, after having come to grips with it, we began to notice that this question comes from a lack of understanding of a reality foreign to ordinary life, namely celibacy.
In this episode, we do two things:
1) We discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding celibacy
2) We talk about what its purpose is and why such a reality exists in the Church
FYI: Anticipate sarcasm, humor, and, only slightly, condescension (mostly from Max, but...)

Economics, Finance, and Loans | W/ Michael Humpherys
This week, Logos Podcast takes on a new topic of conversation, namely finance and economics. Credit cards, retirement, student loans, car loans, stock investments, and trust funds, what do these have to do with our living? Are they sinful? Are they good? A good American BETTER have these in place, damn it!
Well, believe it or not, the Church has something to say about them, and we brought on independent researcher Michael Humpherys to help us develop the Church’s assessment of some of the financial matters at hand.
How do our finances shape our lives? What does the Church say regarding these facets of human living? Tune in to find out!
