Lots of books to get through before the end of the year. Got a book so old the library included a handwritten note: handle with care!

@mom2mattnkat @thatstheword_tr No, but thank you for pointing her out! Her Communion of the Saints is very similar!

#CatholicTwitter anyone know where this image is from or who made it?

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@HansFiene It's an honor

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@mom2mattnkat @thatstheword_tr Not a bad guess, but that is this one, the Last Judgement:

@HarrisonGarlic1 Nescio si illud latinam meam iuvavit 🤷‍♂️

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@HarrisonGarlic1 My dad would start and restart teaching us Latin several times. We used Latina Christiana, and he'd make PowerPoints of each lesson with that PPT 2000/2003 clouds background. Anyway, because we'd always stop and restart after a bit, those first lessons are burned into my memory

The worst thing about producing a podcast is when you listen to one of your stories, think "Ugh," then lose a weekend fiddling with audio plugins you don't understand

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

Starting research on one of the most notoriously difficult figures of the 20th centry to research. Any guesses?

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@Mazula05 As part of that, we need walkable communities so that the church can be the physical center of our lives, not the car

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@jkostecki_rei @Cobylefko For a personal example, I have many small businesses within walking/biking distance. However, walls cut off the strip malls from the neighborhood, so the only way I can get there is to walk/bike alongside a major road. Then there's the massive, mostly empty parking lots. Not fun

@HansFiene I was going to call you out for writing "In the Land of Lovely Loving," but then realized that the entire song is grammatically correct

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@joshcarlosjosh I am totally fine with sticking with the elegant stately ones in our churches. I'll even take the chubby babies!

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@FrHilderbrand They could always have the main characters be Catholic homeschoolers. Then they wouldn't have phones.

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating for this. Not a fan of the genre

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@feliixculpaa On second thought I'm pretty sure I'm way off here

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@feliixculpaa Looks like the Triumph of the Cross. Helena at the top. At the bottom the emperor of Rome is returning the True Cross after taking it back from the Parthians. A divine force prevents him from entering the Jerusalem until he lays aside his royal robes and carries it himself

Today's the day, this story is now up on @thatstheword_tr! Sorry the episode is so long; there was so much to share. The actual story is only 8 minutes, so you can turn us off after that if you don't want to hear the details of the courtroom case and heroic priest

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

I was putting together the story extras for one of our older stories and stumbled across an even more incredible story. It involves shipwreck, coverup, a scapegoat, a heroic priest, a blockbuster movie, and a preteen.

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

@FrChaseg00dman Scary if it's happening in Victoria, too. Cost of homes in Dallas suburbs has skyrocketed. I hear it's the same to a lesser extent in Tyler

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

This is so cool that I can get any book from libraries across the country

[John Peter Yamauchi @jpyams]

Inter library loan books are in! Some book titles hidden to prevent future episode spoilers
