This week the hosts share their Confirmation names and then hear from listeners about the names they chose! Stephanie gives off some serious pagan goddess vibes. Anne shocks Steph with her own grand name reveal. The hosts discover the 1970 hit that apparently inspired a heck of a Confirmation name trend, though confusingly in the late 90’s/early 00’s.  COLLECTION BASKET: This week we invite you to contribute to the <a href="https://www.sweetrest.net/" rel="nofollow">Sweet Rest Project.</a> <ul><li>Share your stories, thoughts, and questions with us at <a href="mailto:lapsedpodcast@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">lapsedpodcast@gmail.com</a> or at <a href="http://www.lapsedpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">www.lapsedpodcast.com</a> </li><li>Follow us on Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/lapsedpodcast" rel="nofollow">@lapsedpodcast</a>) Instagram (<a href="http://instagram.com/lapsedpodcast" rel="nofollow">@lapsedpodcast</a>) and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Lapsed-Podcast-107246274916193" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a>.</li><li>Subscribe.

Stephanie reminisces about how her grandma’s car was decked out with Catholic paraphernalia.   Anne points out that guardian angels sound a heck of a lot like New Age-y &#34;spirit guides.&#34;  The hosts lament how angels are always depicted as white and Barbie-esque.

Stephanie is all aflutter at Francis’s talk of social justice. Anne nerds out over the concept of structural sin. A charming listener invites the hosts to rate her hypocrisy on a scale of 1 to “Pope Francis claiming to be an LGBT ally.” The hosts are also tired.

Stephanie and Anne talk Catholic school and sex ed….or lack thereof.  Steph laments that she never became a mathematician, and all because of lack of adequate sexual education. Anne waxes poetic about the universal human desire to nom babies’ toes.

Stephanie and Anne go head to head in this *epic showdown* between CCD and Catholic School.….just kidding! The hosts keep things extraordinarily amicable as they compare notes on their religious education experiences.
