Avoiding Babylon The Final Trivia Night and the Passing of the Torch
Get ready for an evening of laughter, friendly competition, and surprising revelations as Catholic content creators face off in a trivia challenge that tests their knowledge of the faith. What started as a simple game quickly unveils just how much—or how little—these podcasters know about Catholicism.
The format is brilliantly simple: questions are posed, contestants race to answer first through a private chat "buzzer system," and points are awarded for correct answers (or deducted for incorrect ones). Meanwhile, audience members in the chat compete alongside them, often demonstrating deeper knowledge than the contestants themselves.
As questions range from the technical term for Christ's divinity and humanity to which Pope convinced Attila the Hun not to conquer Rome, we witness moments of triumph, embarrassment, and theological debate. The most fascinating discussions emerge between questions, as contestants wrestle with concepts like when exactly the Church began—at Pentecost, at the Cross, or perhaps even in the Garden of Eden?
Beyond the trivia itself, this episode offers a candid glimpse into the Catholic content creation landscape. During breaks, participants discuss the challenges of maintaining authenticity while growing an audience, the pressures to water down controversial topics, and the delicate balance between charity and truth-telling in online Catholic spaces.
Whether you're testing your own Catholic knowledge, enjoying the camaraderie, or reflecting on deeper theological concepts, this trivia night delivers entertainment while highlighting an important truth: sometimes the most valuable learning comes through play, community, and a healthy dose of humility when we discover what we don't know.
Think you could beat these contestants? There's only one way to find out—tune in and play along!
