I've had a theory for a very long time that Pete Wentz, bassist of Fall Out Boy, has some sort of relationship with Catholicism. I've also suspected the same for Fall Out Boy frontman, Patrick Stump.

Since 2005, when Fall Out Boy's second studio album, From Under the Cork Tree, came out, I've held a theory that bassist Pete Wentz, and possibly frontman Patrick Stump, has some sort of relationship with Catholicism. There's never been any explicit mentions of Catholicism in their music to lead me to believe this nor did … Continue reading The Church of the Outcasts

Musing Musically: My Reflections on August and Everything After
There wasn’t a cloud in the blue sky as my friend and I drove on the highway. She was taking me to see the ocean for the first time, the Jersey Shore. We had forgotten to grab CDs for the trip (and iPods still weren’t very widespread; plus, her stereo system didn’t have an auxiliary … Continue reading Musing Musically: My Reflections on August and Everything After
Secular Songs to Bring You Closer to God: Vol. 3
Every year at Epic Pew, I reflect on the music I've listened to or been introduced to. There is an incredible amount of secular songs that aren't explicitly Catholic or Christian that still point us toward the Almighty.
