You can’t have a bad day if you have Fr. Augustine around. He is magic!

I just heard Fr Wetta on pints with aquinas and laughed out loud-- over and over What a gift he is- i wish my kids could have been taught by him

Every clip of Fr. Wetta I find makes me want to explore my Catholic upbringing again (it’s been over a decade since I was last a practicing Catholic)

Humor in uniform: When I, a Catholic, was in the army in the 1960s, I ended up in an infantry squad. Our leader was a Lieutenant with a Catholic university education and I, as far as I knew, was the only other Catholic. LT was a very self confident guy, who did not want to be saluted, unless higher authority was present, which caused the unit to be quite a calm, friendly group. One of our NCOs was a great tease, who caused us lighthearted banter often. He used to refer to we Catholics as “mackerel snappers”. It was received as a gesture of love! We all laughed with love in return.😂

Your nerdy, religious humor is infectious.

All I can say is that Catholics are way more fun ! That was part of what led me to the church! That and St. Benedict!

Oh, golly! 😂 Fr. Auggie sure gave you a run for your money! Utterly delightful! ❤

@Godsplaining Год назад

We sure had fun filming this episode! It wouldn't be a true episode on humor without a lot of laughter!

@fraugustine8067 7 месяцев назад

Thanks.

@jdub3999 3 месяца назад

When I teach RCIA and no one laughs at my jokes it hurts, lol! We can all use some fun loving humor, particularly my self-deprecating humor!

Are you Red Skelton's relative? I stress the resemblance. My fave quote: Lord forgive my enemies because you know it is I who made them so.

@kimberlysmiley5071 5 месяцев назад

Oh wow, it is so much fun to see you guys having so much fun that gave me a lot of joy. Just watching the joy on your faces as you lost it. That was just so much fun. You must have him back!😂❤❤❤❤

This guy is the funniest mf’er ive heard in a loooong time

@keepingthebooks 2 месяца назад

Father Augustine's delivery seems to me to be almost like a mix between Emo Philips and Louis C. K. - his aloof speech pattern when joking around; the humor is ironic and sometimes dark, yet goofy and self-depreciating. Also, his quip about those who break the rules actually have less fun than those who follow the rules was actually a pretty good paradox - on the level with Socrates or Chesterton.

Gallows humor is funny

@carolynkimberly4021 Год назад

Sometimes my priest laughs in Confession.

@user-kf8wb2cq4f 5 месяцев назад

I'll bet Father Wetta thinks certain aspects of the Bible are funny---but Not in a mocking way. He's got a comedian's mind.. in a good way.

@Malygosblues 5 месяцев назад

I mean, it's hard for me not to take Nathaniel's words in John's Gospel "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" as anything but a pithy bit of regional humor

Eutropalia 😵‍💫

@rx0102 4 месяца назад

Can't joke about race, sexuality, or religion? that is boomer nonsense. The second and third are a choice, and the first is just a biological fact like gender which is ok for jokes apparently.

@annmcnulty1642 Год назад

Truly disappointed! Lauding bullies??!! Having had children who were bullied, I couldn’t believe Fr Wetta’s joking about bullies! “You should be nice to them because they may be your boss someday”? Bullying needs to be addressed, not joked about. As a former educator myself, I can say teachers do see it and unfortunately many do nothing. While I do enjoy this podcast, this is one episode I wish I had skipped.

@fraugustine8067 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for letting me know. I was horribly bullied in school, which may be why I learned to use humor- as a way to weasel my way out of ugly situations. I guess it's also the way I deal with the memories--and with the bullies themselves. After all, Saint Thomas More said, “The devil…that proud spirit…cannot endure to be mocked.” Now that I'm a high school teacher, I founded--and am the faculty sponsor of--our anti-bullying club: "The Secret Society of the Knights of Saint Peter Claver." Please pray for us.

Youre very cool 😎 Its Hard to believe you were ever bullied by anyone !
