Episode 7 – Daniel Forsythe Part I – on Byzantine Priesthood, coming out, and teaching high school english.

This is a two-parter, and worth every second of it. Daniel Forsythe is a former Byzantine Catholic Priest and good friend of Matt and Liz’s. Part I deals with Daniel’s decision to join the priesthood after seminary, his awkward attempts at coming out to his friends, and his later decision to leave the church in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the rights of gay people to marry. Part II will deal with the fallout of his resigning his post, and a lot of esoteric discussions of heretical theology and Tolkien and Moby Dick and gnosticism and the name of Lucifer and so many other things that bored Liz every bit as much as it delighted Matt and Dan. So come back for that for sure.

Here’s a picture of dan ceremonially cleansing Colin’s room of monsters.
