    Mar 19 2026
    Joe dissects a poorly written, AI-sourced article from X that paints a laughably inaccurate picture of American Catholicism and Catholic Answers specifically. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and it’s not every day that as an apologist for Catholic Answers, I find our work called out in a piece shared by a city and US Senator, but this week I had that unique experience.

    #258 Egypt’s 10 Plagues Were God Smiting Demons
    Mar 17 2026
    Joe explains how the 10 plagues of Egypt in Exodus was a direct judgement against the false gods the Egyptians were worshipping. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and you probably know the basic story of the tin plagues and the Exodus. God sends Moses to Pharaoh to tell him- CLIP: Let my people go. Joe: Pharaoh, of course, refuses, and so God sends a series of tin plagues, ultimately leading to the death of the firstborn children of man beast alike. Only at this point does Pharaoh relent? The Israelites are freed. But that’s just the surface of ...

    #256 Is Noah’s Ark Historically True?
    Mar 10 2026
    Joe looks at competing theories about the story of Noah’s Ark and other similar flood myths. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and I want to ask three questions today about Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood. Question number one, did it really happen or is it just a retelling of older Babylonian stories? Question number two, if it did really happen, was it a global flood or a local or regional flood? And finally, question three, are we missing the point of the story and asking these questions? Now, if you like videos like this, I encourage you...
