This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss Pope Francis's latest letter to the faithful: Desiderio Desideravi… I desire to desire? The letter is Francis's thoughts on The Last Supper, and the way we participate in that (and in the crucifixion) - -the Mass.

Also discuss, obviously, is the recent decision from the Supreme Court overturning Roe V Wade.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss something Eric has admittedly been avoiding since the entire election scam of 2020. But, as good Catholics, he believes it is our duty to climb back into the subject of politics… even if we doubt our ability to have any effect on the outcome. Division of Church and State is not real. At the same time, the days of relying on NBC News for information are over. We have a particular duty to find the hidden information, and to be good red pilled Americans.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the modern cultural phenomenon of angry women… especially when that anger is pointed at men.

Angry women might have more anger at their own nature than at man's nature.

In current events, Russia and Ukraine continue to fight--and the US media continues to lie about it. Cardinal Zen is arrested… Pope Francis is silent. Floods in Afghanistan. Wild fires in Russia.

Saint of the Week: Saint Philomena

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss a very much avoided subject--that of the seminarians claiming that they were preyed upon by priests. While APACT absolutely condemns all sexual deviancy, especially by priests and bishops, we also want to examine the real nature of what was / is happening in the seminaries. Were bishops and priests preying on otherwise innocent seminarians, or was / is there already an atmosphere that attracted a certain type of man to the seminaries--making it easier for bishops and priests to find and abuse 'victims.' And when to such targets of abuse stop being victims and become willing participants?

It's sure disappointing to see our bishops cower like scared kittens.
