A Podcast About Catholic Things

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric is absent, so Dan gives us "Utter Nonsense"… a Catholic movie review of The Hunt.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Non-Sense) talk about the bishops of the Church… specifically the American ones and the lack of leadership (with a couple of heroic exceptions, like Strickland and Vigano) in our country. How do we deal with it? What should our reaction be? And will the traditional Catholic Church come out on top in the end? And what about these masks… should we wear them or should we not?

In Current events, a sealed copy of Super Morio Brothers sells for a hundred grand. Fires in California and Florida Catholic churches. Washington Redskins will now be the Washington Yellowbacks. Jeff Sessions gets creamed in primary. Kanye West running for president.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Non-Sense) talk about the "saints" of Vatican II. Years after the council, we see the devastating effects it had on our church--why then are those who made it happen elevated to sainthood, and is their canonization "infallible?" These are deep questions that extend into Pope Francis's public heretical statements, and how we should react to a pope who doesn't seem Catholic.

In current events, Hong Kong protesters are arrested. Germany wants to go powerless. Trump announces plans for the National Garden of American Heroes. China claims to strike hydrogen, while another group finds a planet that is half molten iron and half evaporated iron. States report no new Covid 19 deaths. Vietnam officials arrest man for being 'anti-government.' Little Sisters of the Poor appear to have another victory--but not quite so clear cut. Bus driver is killed for not wearing a mask.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, we start our historical American series: The Miracle of America. We talk about the founding of the British colonies in Massachusetts and the real introduction of capitalism in America--a system to be copied by all the following colonies.

In current events, more madness from the left: BLM, ANTIFA, defunding police departments, and COVID19 craze. North Korea is making their usual threats. The US Supreme Court makes several bad decisions that leave us scratching our heads. Trump is ALONE in Washington--we must support him. Facebook condemns a Trump symbol.

In the land of nonsense, British professor invents "The Bacon Patch," which is little more than a scratch-n-sniff sticker. Aunt Jemimah and Uncle Ben are considered racist. Oakland and the FBI investigate recreational nooses.

This week, on A Podcast About Catholic Things, just after Trinity Sunday, Eric and Dan discuss the importance of meditating on, and learning about, the Holy Trinity. Dan makes the argument that the Orthodox, and the Eastern churches who are already united with Rome, would do well to change their creed to reflect the western model of the Trinity.

In current events, New York is disappearing. Seattle, Washington is under siege by ANTIFA and has declared CHAZ autonomous from America. COPS, Gone With The Wind, and several other classics are disappearing from the streaming world. NASCAR bans the Confederate flag.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about the world-wide insanity happening in almost every major city. The riots seem to be about more than racism and police brutality. What is under attack is Americanism--and we have to fight to keep it alive.

In the news, the WHO is reporting new cases of Ebola. Vladimir Putin spills 20,000 tons of oil into a river. Space X deploys 60 more Starlink satellites. Governor Northam in Virginia tears down a Rober E. Lee monument.

In light of the riots happening across the country, Eric and Dan discuss anger, taking offense, and what the Catholic response should be to those who offend us. They talk about strategies they've used to keep themselves from lashing out in anger. Eric and Dan agree that police incompetence and abuse are a problem across the country, and come up with a unique way our laws could deal with it.

In current events, we talk about the ongoing riots throughout the US after the George Floyd video. Trump designates Antifa as a terrorist organization. Swarms of locusts are in India, and India and China seem to be approaching war. Hong Kong is no longer autonomous with China. Space X launches US astronauts to space station, and loses a prototype in an explosion.

In the land of nonsense, Dan points out the largest diocese in America. A woman keeps her Grandmother's body to get SS checks. Football players are fooled by sex dolls.

This week, as promised, Dan and Eric talk about the history of SSPX and why they really are no longer in communion with Rome. While many good people have put their trust in the society, sadly, they are not unlike many protestants, and seem to follow the same patters as other churches that have severed ties with Rome.

They both agree that most plant and animal genetic manipulation is okay, but it gives us sometimes dangerous knowledge. At this point in time, human gene manipulation is against the Catholic understanding of morality.

In current events, US borrows more for Covid19 pandemic. Eric speculates on US debt forgiveness. Eric makes a video about essential workers. Mike DeWine ought to pay for damage he's done to economy. Flynn to be freed from federal harassment. A black hole is discovered 1000 light years away and an asteroid flies really close to our planet.

In the land of nonsense, A man is buried in a grave. Body found in man's freezer. Proteins found in Scaly-foot Snail. Five-year-old runs away to buy a Lamborghini.
