In this week’s episode, cohosts Pete Sanchez and Mike Bress welcome back Fr. Adam Cichoski for an enlightening and engaging discussion on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Together, they explore the rich history and theological significance of this beloved feast day, its deep connection to the Advent season, and Mary’s pivotal role in the life of Jesus and Catholic faith. The conversation takes a creative turn as they examine how Mary is portrayed in pop culture, from books and movies to television shows, offering thoughtful insights into her representation. The episode wraps up on a lighthearted note with a look at how the term “Immaculate Conception” has found its way into everyday language—most famously linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers' iconic “Immaculate Reception” of the 1970s. Don’t miss this thoughtful blend of faith, culture, and fun!
