About Holy Troublemakers

The Catholic Church wasn’t built by the cautious. It was built by mystics who argued with emperors, missionaries who crossed oceans with nothing but faith, martyrs who refused the easy way out, and saints who managed to be both completely human and completely on fire for God. Holy Troublemakers tells their stories. Each episode, host Dom Bettinelli takes you inside the life of one of the men or women who shaped two thousand years of Catholic history — not as plaster statues, but as real human beings who struggled, failed, doubted, and ultimately chose something greater than themselves. From Saint Peter on the shores of Galilee to Dorothy Day on the streets of New York, these are the people who made a holy mess of the world, and left it better for it.

St. John Henry Newman: One Step Enough for Me

Published 14 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] The letters, the dates, the actual sequence of his own thinking laid out with a candor nobody expected from him. It's still in print. Ten years later, the former Prime Minister Gladstone published a pamphlet arguing that no Englishman could become a Catholic without handing his civil loyalty to a foreign power. Newman answered with the letter to the Duke of Norfolk, and in it he wrote the sentences that would eventually make him a doctor of the church. "'Conscience is not a long-sighted selfishness, nor a desire to be consistent with oneself. But it is a messenger from him who, both in nature and in grace, speaks to us behind a veil, and teaches and rules us by his representatives. […]
