Catholic Guy Episode 100: Pope Resigns, Colonoscopies, Biblical Resumes, and Praying For The Dead!
LINO RULLI
Lino Rulli@linorulli: I am a man with a large nose. And a radio show on SiriusXM.
When the Pope is elected, the Cardinal should come out with an envelope and say “And the Successor of St Peter goes to…” #oscars
When I met the Pope last week, I said (in Italian): “I pray for you all the time.”
To which he replied, “For me or against me?”
I had to lean in closer to understand if I heard him correctly. And then I busted out laughing.
Was still laughing when he gave me a rosary.
Lino’s Witty Exchanges
Lino Rulli@linorulli (Jun 14, 2022): Its not Christmas, but this is why our producer Tyler is a true gift:
He actually thought the song was called Round Young Virgin.
Bears Are Fast@bearsarefast (Jun 14, 2022) This Day in BearsAreFast History: [2/6]
Round Young Virgin – a description of the pregnant, youthful, and motherly Virgin Mary in the classic Christmas song “Silent Night”.
Example: “Of course the song says, ‘Round, young virgin, mother and child.” Who says “yon?”” (6/14/19)
Lino’s Books
Lino Rulli@linorulli Someone just emailed me that my book Sinner is 10 years old. And while it isn’t ranked in books about Catholicism or Biography… It’s ranked in the Terrorism category. Rude.
You see, I believe everything the Church teaches. That puts me in a minority, in and of itself. I’m just not great at being faithful to everything the Church teaches. I don’t have a problem with doctrine or dogma. I have a problem with me. I want to be more faithful, but I’m scared. Scared that I’ll try and fail. And in some ways even more scared that I’ll succeed. What if I become such a good, holy Catholic that I wouldn’t really want to hang out with me?
Down deep, I love God with all my heart, mind, and strength. But you’ll have to take my word for it since you can’t usually tell. In truth, the only thing that keeps me from going completely crazy is the Catholic Church. I haven’t always felt God’s presence. In fact, I don’t feel God’s presence all that often. I feel alone lots of days. But the Church has always been there. And that’s where I’ve learned about God. Without the Church, I’d be a complete train wreck, not the small five-car derailment I am today.
Lino Rulli, Sinner: The Catholic Guy’s Funny, Feeble Attempts to Be a Faithful Catholic (2011) St. Anthony Messenger Press .Some dude who lived in Transylvania in the 1200s and died of the plague might have been holier than holy, but unless he converted Count Dracula, he’s not inspiring the majority of us these days. So I say, canonize me. In spite of my shortcomings and horrible mistakes (known in Church circles as “mortal sins”), you could identify with a St. Lino: A guy who does and says lots of stupid things. A saint who took seven spring breaks, though he was in college for only four years. A saint who isn’t interested in converting a count — though he does have, oddly, recurring dreams of Count Chocula chasing him with a lawnmower. A saint who celebrates his oddities and failures in the hope that he can encourage his brothers and sisters to join God in heaven. That’s me. That’s a saint you can relate to.

The Catholic Channel
Talk about it on The Catholic Channel as we address what’s on your mind and in the news, all from a Catholic point of view!
CIO of Life Teen, Co-host of “The Catholic Guy Show” on SiriusXM, Author, Speaker, ND Alum ☘️. Go Irish! I own a Bible that smells of rich mahogany.
When people annoy me I try to remember that Jesus called me to be a light. So then I like to pretend I’m the Pixar light… and I’m jumping on people’s heads.
God will put someone in your path today who doesn’t necessarily need you… but who desperately needs Christ in you. Be prepared. Pay attention. It’s not an inconvenience, it’s your mission.
Our Not-Quite-Holy Family: A Practical Guide for Catholic Parents (2021) by Mark Hart and Melanie Hart
Slowly, she lowered her beautiful naked body into the bathtub. You weren’t expecting a “Catholic parenting book” to begin with that sentence, were you? Well, this isn’t your typical Catholic parenting book, so keep reading. . . .
Nothing can ready you, as a couple, for your first pregnancy or experience of childbirth. You can read all the books and take all the classes. Those things help, but nothing can properly prepare someone for all that childbirth (and child-rearing) brings with it. Whether the birth occurs in a hospital or at home, naturally or with an epidural, everyone has a story, and every story is unique. In the end, the entire experience is like a beautiful car accident: there is terror and noise, screaming and fluids (oh, so many fluids), trained medical professionals, possibly some scarring, and your life is forever different afterward. Obviously, we jest . . . sort of.

Catholic and a Giraffe! � Typing with hooves ain’t easy!
@LT_TheBiblegeek you’re right that Easter doesn’t seem as big as Christmas or Halloween… but that’s also because of how commercialized those have become. �
Not sure we want Christ’s Resurrection to go down quite the same path. �
Found an interesting use for my iMissal app… cueing up the Nicene Creed for a coworker who honestly didn’t know (& had asked) if Catholics believed in Jesus.

Catholic Guy Show@catholicguyshow-Apr 27:
“You said goodbye to your family and friends because you might not come back. It was a dangerous thing to do. There were robbers, looters, and thieves… and that’s just the people working in the Church.” – Lino Rulli on going on pilgrimage in the 14th century
Cardinal Dolan@CardinalDolan–: I’m continuing on my journey to let the refugees from Ukraine know that we love them. I have to pass it on to you, because I’ve heard it again and again: “Tell the folks of the United States how grateful we are for their help.” Thank you!
