In this episode I address a common fundamentalist's argument regarding Matthew 23:9 when Jesus said "Call no man Father". You don't want to miss this one!

006 SCS Call No Man Father

The first question that most people probably want to ask me is about the name of this new show.  Why would I call it “The Sad Catholic Show?” 
Well… It’s not because I am depressed… no matter what you hear in my voice… 
The real reason for using the name “The Sad Catholic Show” is because this is MY show… and my parents gave me the name “Sadoth Catholic Bowden.”
…Though having already existed for nine months on the day of my birth, I didn’t get to have any input as to what they named me… 
They wanted to give me the name of a strong leader, a Catholic Saint that was faithful all the way through Martyrdom. Preferably one that attended the council of Nicaea. They landed on “Sadoth”  and to drive the point home, they gave me the middle name “Catholic.” 
Sadoth was a Martyr who was put to death with 128 fellow Christians in Persia, and attended the Council of Nicaea in 325. He was head of the Christian community during the severe persecution of the Church in Persia under the Sassanid Persian ruler Shapur II. Arrested with many other believers, Sadoth and eight of his followers were cruelly imprisoned at Bei-Lapat and tortured prior to execution; Sadoth was beheaded… 
…and was a man… 
…which I am not… 
…but that didn’t stop them.
Growing up with the name “Sadoth” wasn’t the best.  I tried to go by “Sadie,” but I have a family that doesn’t really use nicknames.  We were given the names that we have for a reason. Sadoth became “Sad” for short, literally making me “Sad Catholic.”
