“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
MATTHEW 9:12-13
Join me a divorced, liberal follower of Jesus as I ask my deacon dad and spiritual director mom to help me figure out what it means to be Catholic today. With a lot of heart, we break down everything a self-proclaimed "Bad Catholic" needs to know to grow in her faith.
You've come to the right place & I'm so glad that you're here!
enjoy friends!
GET TO KNOW YOUR HOSTS TRISHA, TONI, & DEACON DAVID
BIENVENIDAS A LA FAMILIA
David ESPINOZA
Meet my Dad, David. Ordained in 2010, he has dedicated nearly 15 years to tirelessly serving his parish and community. Renowned for his love of facts (and for being on the "right" side of a theological debate), we don't always see eye-to-eye, but we always listen and learn from each other.
TONI F. ESPINOZA
Meet my mom, Toni. With over 35 years in the Catholic Church, she's a spiritual director who though devout, considers herself more spiritual than religious. Known for her deep faith, she prayed for a miracle when my dad was diagnosed with terminal heart failure in 2004. Six months later, doctors were baffled when he made an unexpected recovery!
SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR
Deacon
TRISHA F. ESPINOZA
I'm the one who asked the questions growing up — not always with faith, but always with curiosity. These days, I help other women wrestle with the same things I have: shame, control, and the slow work of trusting God with what we can't fix ourselves.
IMPERFECT DISCIPLE
From doubters to Medjugorje pilgrims, my sister and I have made quite the journey.
Mom shares her story, and once upon a time she was once a Bad Catholic, too!
Having never opened a bible, I ask Dad, "How do I even start reading this thing?"
Do divorcees need an annulment? Yep, or the Church says we're cheating on our exes.
