The Catholic Couple

Is Your Church Too Nice?

• Bobby and Katie Fredericksen

In this bold episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we ask the hard question: Has the modern Catholic Church become too soft, too nice, and afraid to speak the hard truth?

🔥 Jesus didn’t die for comfort — He flipped tables in the Temple (John 2:13-17) to defend what was holy. So why do so many Catholic parishes avoid tough topics like sin, repentance, spiritual warfare, and eternal consequences?

We break down:
✅ The difference between being nice and being Christlike
✅ Why lukewarm Catholicism is dangerous (Revelation 3:16)
✅ How Jesus modeled righteous anger and holy boldness
✅ What the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about truth, fortitude, and evangelization
✅ How to revive a Church that’s lost its fire
✅ Practical ways YOU can live your faith boldly in today’s culture

🔔 Whether you're a cradle Catholic, convert, priest, parent, or young adult—this conversation will challenge and inspire you to stop settling for comfort Catholicism and start embracing heroic discipleship.
