The Yakuza & Lore w/ Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast 408

Taylor & Father discuss some of their favorites when it comes to lore: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the very silly Yakuza video game franchise. They share how all of these universes with deep lore are very fun to engage with. Taylor also has a confession about the Lore of Christianity.

We hope you enjoy this fun conversation (that made Fr. Anthony think less of Taylor)
