[gentle serene music] Hi folks, this is Dom Bettinelli, and I wanna tell you about a brand-new show at StarQuest that I'm sure you're gonna love, 'cause I love it already.
It's called Holy Troublemakers, and the first episode dropped Wednesday, September 9th.
The Catholic Church gets built by difficult people, mystics who argued with popes, missionaries who walked into places nobody sane would go, saints who were completely human and completely on fire for God at the same time.
Every episode is one of their stories, told as a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
And I'll start with Saint Peter, a married fisherman from Bethsaida who walked off his boat one morning, denied his Lord three times in a courtyard before sunrise, and died upside down in Rome.
The house in Capernaum, plastered floor to ceiling and covered in pilgrim graffiti in four languages, with a Byzantine church built right on top of it.
The pagan shrine at Caesarea Philippi that people called the Gates of Hades, which is where Jesus asked, "Who do you say that I am?" The charcoal fire in the high priest's courtyard where Peter got the answer wrong, and the second charcoal fire on a beach in Galilee where Jesus asked him the same question three times.
There's sound design under all of it, and music to carry the mood so you're standing there while I tell it.
It ends under the high altar of St. Peter's Basilica with the bones of an old man wrapped in purple and gold cloth, the feet missing.
Benedict, Francis, Ignatius, Elizabeth Ann Seton, Newman, Mother Cabrini, and more.
