A Podcast About Catholic Things

This week, on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric discuss the use of 'thee' and 'thou' in prayer and scripture and the modern push to start using 'you.' Is it a simple style preference, or is morality a part of it? What about 'Holy Ghost' vs. 'Holy Spirit'?

Pornography and why it's wrong. The change in how we discuss it that has happened over the past ten years. The saints say surprisingly little about sex. We tackle the question of whether or not we're justified in calling it an addiction. What is the proper way for parents to prepare their kids for the sexual content being pushed at them constantly? Eric and Dan vow to talk amore about how a man can escape the trap next week.

This week, on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about religious liberty and what exactly Dignitatis Humanae, the Vatican II document, says about it. Many people talk about the document as a 'change' in Catholic theology, but does the document really say anything at all? And what did the 'old church' have to say about freedom of religion? Is it compatible with Americanism?

In current events, it's more Covid 19 and Eric has a new theory about why Trump is allowing the country's shutdown to continue. YouTube is removing certain Covid-19 conspiracy videos, for the safety of 5G engineers, and the coronavirus causes havoc in other parts of the world.

In nonsense land, Oregon takes a special lesson from old whale tale, and Eric compares 'we're in this together' speeches to another Barny Miller episode.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about astronomy in 1600. We're setting the stage for Galileo's conviction. Why was he condemned? Was he really labeled a heretic? Were the authorities right to be skeptical? Was the Church "AGAINST SCIENCE"? Let's face it--the Church steps outside its range of authority with Galileo, and now we have Pope Francis doing the same thing… and he's just as wrong. Years from now, Francis' statements will be just as embarrassing as Pope Urban VIII.

In current events, more on the Covid19. Earthquakes rock the US. Trump sends the Navy to Venezuela. Eric speculates on why Trump is going along with the insanity.

What do Catholics do without Mass? Is the threat as serious as they say? Are the politicians taking advantage of us? What's up with all the celebrities going stir-crazy? What are the real numbers concerning coronavirus. Wouldn't this be a great time to learn how to pray the Traditional Latin Mass? Dan sneezes. Eric compares it to Ginger's sneeze. Dan and Eric talk about pony kegs.
