A Crappy Catholic

About A Crappy Catholic

A Crappy Catholic with Mark Kwasny is a story-driven podcast about faith, failure, and the ongoing experiment of trying to be a decent human being… and regularly proving otherwise. Mark doesn’t have it figured out. In fact, most episodes start with something that went wrong—an awkward moment, a bad reaction, a quiet realization that, once again, he is the problem—and spiral from there. Sometimes it’s about church... sometimes it’s about work, family, or the general weirdness of being alive. Most of the time, it’s about what happens when those things collide with a conscience that won’t leave you alone. This isn’t a theology podcast... It’s a human one. No advice. No pretending. Just stories, mild irritation, and the occasional glimpse of grace showing up where it probably shouldn’t. If you’ve ever tried to do the right thing and somehow made it worse, you’ll probably feel at home here.

   Apparently, You Can't Buy Heaven on Amazon

   Send us Fan Mail Why do I keep thinking that one more thing will finally make me happy? A better house. A nicer car. More money. The perfect relationship. Another book. Something from Amazon. Surely THAT will do it. Except... it never does. In this episode, I look at why we keep searching for happiness in things that were never meant to give us lasting happiness, and what happens when we stop trying to arrange life according to our own plans and start trusting God with what He gives us. Maybe...

   Are You Living for God or Pleasing Everyone Else?

   Send us Fan Mail Are you a people pleaser? How much of your life have you spent saying yes when you wanted to say no, keeping quiet when you had something to say, going along with everyone else, or trying to make sure nobody gets upset with you? I've spent a lot of my life doing exactly that. At work. In my family. In relationships. Even in my faith. But why do we do it? What are we so afraid of? Rejection? Criticism? Abandonment? Losing our job? Being pushed out of the group? And what happen...

   How to Love People Without Losing Yourself

   Send us Fan Mail I've been meditating on charity in Divine Intimacy, and meditation #269, "Charity Adapts Itself to Everyone," stopped me in my tracks. We're supposed to adapt ourselves to other people. We're supposed to love our neighbor. We're supposed to put aside our own preferences for the good of others. But what happens when you've spent much of your life adapting yourself to people because you're afraid of how they'll react to you? That's the question I'm wrestling w...
