    #179 Throwing Out Scripture to Save Sola Scriptura - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 5 2025
    Joe tackles a big issue surrounding the canon of Scripture, particularly Mark 16. Wes Huff made a good video explaining the debate between scholars one whether Mark 16 is inspired or not. Joe weighs in with a definitive answer… Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe, Heschmeyer, and I want to explore the bright ending to the gospel of Mark. Now that might sound obscure, but I want to suggest that Jeffrey Riddle is onto something when he declares that contemporary Christians are in the middle of a canonical crisis, a crisis about which books and which parts of bo...

    #178 The Christian Way to Respond to Pride Month… - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 3 2025
    Joe explains why devotion to the Sacred Heart is the remedy to Pride Month, but what exactly DOES that look like? Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and as we enter the month of June, we are once again reminded that the secular, particularly corporate world is celebrating Pride Month. It’s been very in your face for years now, and I’m sure many of my fellow Christians are getting sick of it all. And you might know as well that for us as Catholics, June is also the month dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus. Now, in response to so-called Pr...

    May 29 2025
    Joe attends to what remains of Ryan’s argument against the salvific power of Baptism. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m Joe Heschmeyer and this is the first episode I’ve recorded since I did my debate with Ryan from Need god.net on Sunday. So I wanted to cover a few of the things. Anytime you do a debate, there’s always some stuff where afterwards you say, oh, I wish I’d spent more time on that, or I wish there’d been more time to cover this topic. And this was no different. I think the debate went really well. I still think there were s...

    #174 Martin Luther’s Narcissistic War on Philosophy… - Joe Heschmeyer
    May 20 2025
    Today Joe examines why it’s probably not a good idea to look to Martin Luther in matters of faith and reason. We look at Luther’s call to ban Aristotle from the Church, arguably the most important contributor to Western ethics and phenomenology. And Joe examines Luther’s absolutely wild claim that he is the “new Noah,”….yes, like the ark. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Sam Popery. I’m Joe Smar and I want to unpack a fascinating writing from the father of Protestantism, Martin Luther, and to show why I think you should probably change how you view Lut...

Which ones are actually compelling? Which ones are completely made up and terrible? Let’s see what Joe thinks… Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to do something a little different today. I want to take a couple dozen different Protestant arguments against Catholicism, and I want to rank them in a purely subjective way or almost purely subjective way in term...

    #172 6 early signs Leo XIV could be a GREAT Pope… - Joe Heschmeyer
    May 13 2025
    There’s been a LOT of buzz about Pope Leo XIV, both in Catholic media and secular media. Everyone has been digging into Leo’s past and online history (which in itself is very surreal) and we’ve found a lot. Here’s why Joe believes Pope Leo XIV could be an excellent Pope… Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m Joe Heschmeyer and like everyone else, I’m still waiting to see what Pope Leo the XIV pontificate is going to be like.
