"They don't like admitting it in the Catholic Church, but there are grey areas." - Lino Rulli

If you go to a non-religious wedding and give a gift, should you be able to recoup that gift later on if that couple gets divorced? Tyler thinks you should be able to. Lino thinks that is crazy.

"We have all of these Saints and it's like 'Saint so-and-so, 11th century nun... she gets her own day on the calendar.' And I'm like 'What about Jude the apostle?' 'Well, he can split a day with Saint Simon the Zealot.'" - Lino Rulli

Happy 55th Birthday Lino! (The mosaic picture gifted by Tyler)

"It's not luck. It's love." - Lino Rulli on receiving blessings

"The more AI and technology and everything else advances, the more I go 'I hope the whole world is listening to the Pope because he's smart." - Lino Rulli

"We gotta make a plan and make sure that the church things are first and everything else falls into place after that." - Lino Rulli on making weekend plans

"It's good to go to church. It's good to pray the rosary. But are you loving? Are you charitable? Are you giving to the poor? Are you helping the immigrant? Or are you just a jerk? Because I know plenty of jerks who go to church every Sunday. I'm one of them!" - Lino Rulli

"I went to the dentist. I got my teeth cleaned. My teeth feel good. So good that I don't even want to bite into anything. Just a good clean feeling. Its sort of like how you leave confession and you go 'Alright, I got a good clean soul. Let's not go kill a drifter." - Lino Rulli

"Everyday I pray that my daughter 'knows God, loves God, and serves God.' And then it takes everything I have to not make a sarcastic joke like 'Unlike me, Lord." - Lino Rulli

"I know St. Paul in the Bible says to 'Pray without ceasing.' But you know, sometimes I'm sleeping or eating a sandwich. But on a practical level the Church gives us ways to do this like once a week going to church on Sunday." - Lino Rulli

"I haven't 'made it' as a Catholic. I haven't 'made it' as a Christian. It's never like 'I'm now done.' But it is healthy to see that you make progress." - Lino Rulli

"To the people who say 'Oh, I have no regrets in life,' I go 'Well, then how do you learn?' I'm actually in some ways grateful for my regrets. I'm grateful that I've looked at my life and said 'I wish I had done it differently.' - Lino Rulli

Lino thinks that God has spoken through him roughly 37 times in the 20 years of doing the show. He's broadcasted for over 10,000 hours during that period. That means God speaks through him roughly one ever 270 hours he's on the show. That's a lot of filler...

"While we were in the (school) line this morning dropping our kid off, we saw a car ahead of us open the door and another little girl come out crying and we were like 'Yes!'" - Lino Rulli on not wanting to feel alone... or that misery loves company.

"If you're so easily persuaded or swayed by a sign at a college football game, you're probably not going to stick around long anyway because you're probably going to see some other sign." - Lino Rulli on being worried signs might drive people away from attending church.

"We live in an instant gratification society and a culture that wants what we want, when we want. And we expect everything to be great all the time because we see it on Instagram or Facebook or TikTok or whatever. And its not the reality." - Lino Rulli

"You don't want a canonized Saint to be your spiritual director. Otherwise you're going to be like 'I'm never going to get there.' You want someone who is a bit of a spiritual mess themselves. Iron sharpens iron and let's work on it together." - Lino Rulli
