A Crappy Catholic with Mark Kwasny
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.
