When we watched The Little Rascals when it came out in 1994, little did we know that Porky would end up being a Catholic convert–and a Latin Mass goer. That’s right! Zac Mabry, child actor turned CPA, is on the podcast today!
Zac is a fellow podcaster (he makes The Roman Circus Podcast with Matt Baker) and a contributing editor to The Catholic Herald. He’s also a Texan like Haley and he’s here to answer all your burning questions about the Latin Mass.
In this episode we clarify some of the confusing terms used to refer to different liturgies, explain why the Latin Mass is so great, and give tips for folks who are interested in attending a Latin Mass but nervous to try it out. We talk about everything from veiling to how traditional Catholics aren’t like the trads you might meet on Twitter. This episode is a little controversial and a lot of fun. So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

The Rosary played a significant role in helping converts Meg and Kyle Tietz find their way home to the Church. But they ran into a recurring problem – rosary beads kept breaking in their hands. Kyle, decided to teach himself to make an indestructible rosary that was so beautiful, it would inspire frequent prayer. Nikolaus Design (named after Kyle’s confirmation saint, St. Nicholas) was born from that mission! They create rosaries that are beautiful enough for special occasions but durable enough for daily prayer and they offer wire-wrapped, heirloom rosaries made from semiprecious gemstones, Swarovski crystals, Czech glass, genuine turquoise, and our specialty – handmade sterling silver Southwestern pearls.
You will not find rosaries constructed with these unique handmade beads anywhere else! Rosaries by Nikolaus Design are perfect for gifts for weddings, baptisms, confirmation, graduation, or Christmas or as a gift to yourself to inspire a deeper devotion to Our Lady’s Rosary.
Visit nikolausdesign.com to view the beautiful rosaries that are available or follow them on Instagram or Facebook. (And don’t forget to use CARROTS for 10% off!)

Thank you for the positive, more casual view of Latin Mass. I live in Eastern WA, right next to the hotbed of schismatics and “rad trads” in Northern Idaho (SSPX, CRMI). Unfortunately, most of your comments about community don’t match my experiences here since we seem to be on the battle lines. I hear a lot of defenses of the Latin Mass, and it has a hipster coolness around here. Would you two consider doing a podcast on the most charitable interpretation of the Vatican 2 reforms/Novus Ordo? I know it definitely has its downsides, but it is so easy for our community to fall into criticizing it and doubting the goodness of the church’s authority. If you are up for maybe another controversial topic, I’d love to hear your perspectives.
