It's back to the old format this week as Seth introduces us to two martyrs, Sts. Sebastian and Agnes, Christine brings back the Heresy of the Week by giving an overview of Marcionism in both ancient and modern form, and Erica addresses the mystery of suffering from the point of view of both Ethicist and Mother.

Also mentioned: Fetishizing of suffering, weirdly erotic Latin poetry about young girl martyrs, St. Godelieve, Domestic Abuse, Murder, St. Francis DeSales, Practical Devotion, Quarterback Aaron Rogers, The Old Testament, The Demiurge, the Pauline Epistles, Erica's son, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Existentialism, Albert Camus, William Golding, Abuse, "Offering it up," and the terrible sadistic habit of enabling mortal sin by glorifying unnecessary suffering.
