We're tackling Catholicism, which is uniquely suited to horror in ways that most non-Catholics might not grasp. Anyone who grew up with a dog-eared copy of "Lives Of The Saints" knows this.

Lending a bit of credibility to our hot mess of a horror podcast is Harvard Kennedy School Senior Lecturer in Ethics and Public Policy (and nerd-of-all-trades) Christopher Robichaud

Let's talk iconography, relic classes, the Cadaver Synod, and why "The Exorcist" isn't what you think it is.
