Hour 2: Gen Z’s Catholic Comeback | 04-03-26

Tune in to a wild and philosophical “Ventilation Friday” on The Other Side of Midnight. Lionel explores why Gen Z is unexpectedly flocking back to traditional Catholicism in search of structure, rules, and community. The phone lines heat up with callers diving into hilarious and deep theological debates, ranging from nostalgic stories of Jesuit schools, independent thinking, and strict nuns, to intense philosophical clashes over free will, Hitler, and God’s omniscience. Along the way, enjoy brilliant caller dad-jokes about Adam and Eve, mathematical musings on the illusion of reality, and Lionel’s take on the bizarre modern world of collapsing AI and OnlyFans influencers. It is a chaotic, entertaining, and deeply inquisitive exploration of the human experience that proves thinking doesn’t have to hurt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
