Note: This episode was recorded in November 2020.

Mike is joined by Redeemer Radio host Kyle Heimann to plumb the rock/rap/funk political mele that is Rage Against the Machine. Their music is as relevant now as it ever was. Mike & Kyle bust out the guitars and uke’s to see what Tom Morello riffs they can still play. We cover a LOT of controversial political topics so prepare yourself:

Racism and police brutality

Which political party Catholics belong in

Culture, eurocentrism and the liturgy

revolution vs reform

liberation theology & social justice

The breakdown of the family

Fancy terms from Catholic Social Teaching

A tea party with John Paul II and Zac De La Rocha

Storming the gates of hell

Apathy, silence, and sins of omission

The culture of death

Patriotism vs nationalism
