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.😂

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
