The Roamin' Catholic

Rob, a good-hearted but sometimes bumbling world-traveler and photographer, is sent on wild adventures to important places in Church history in order to make short documentaries about various religious people and subjects for kids.

EPISODES:

1 Vocations
When Rob mistakes ‘vacation’ for ‘vocation’ he rushes ahead with plans to get some R&R. Pete the Penguin finally alerts Rob about his confusion just in time to get his next mission from the Boss. Rob takes a trip to learn what a ‘vocation’ is and remembers what God is calling him to do in the process.

2. The Waters of Baptism
It’s been raining all night and Rob’s roof is leaking. With water everywhere Rob and Harmonica Man ponder what role water plays in the spiritual life. Rob’s questions are answered on this latest mission to learn about baptism.

3 Purgatory
Playing baseball in a tiny backyard isn’t a smart idea. But when Rob accidently breaks a window he does something even worse: decides to lie about it. It becomes a chance to learn that reconciliation isn’t just about saying sorry; it’s about making up for the wrong you did through penance. On a very special RC trip, Rob learns about the role of penance in this life and in the next.

4 Marian Apparitions
Rob has been so busy with work he forgets about his Mom’s birthday. Fortunately, a visit from his niece and her mom helps him realize just how special moms are and how much we should love them. But that’s not all, we have a Mom in Heaven. Rob’s next pilgrimage takes him to popular apparition sites to learn about Mary and what he has to tell her children.

5  Holy Equations
Is there an equation for holiness? While playing a new Saint Pop Quiz game with his niece, Rob comes across an equation for holiness proposed by Saint Maximilian Kolbe that totally confuses him. Good thing the Boss is sending him on a mission to learn about Saint Max and about this holy equations.
