Summary

Pete Holmes refers to Father Richard Rohr affectionately as “Richie.” Pete is a talented comedian, podcaster and television writer, and he’s also a deep admirer of the work of last week’s guest. We talked to Pete last summer about his memoir Comedy Sex God, and after our conversation with Father Richard last week, we were able to appreciate Pete’s story on a much deeper level. Thus, we’re bringing it to you today. We have an all new Signs of the Times and Consolations and Desolations, where we look at the curious case of Venerable Mother Cornelia Connelly’s body and who gets to claim her remains, as well as mark the grim milestone of 500,000 coronavirus deaths in the United States.
