In this episode we discuss the recent repeal of the Obama Administration's regulation on net neutrality and why this is a good thing, Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox and why this is a bad thing, Ann breaks down the blasphemous and scandalous nativity scene in Saint Peter's square, and SuperNerd vents on the demise of Star Wars (from a certain point of view, of course).

In this episode we discuss lies and the lying liars who lie them... err, tell them. Whether it's DDoS attackers lying to internet service providers that their traffic is legitimate, parents who tell their kids that Santa Claus is a benevolent breaking-and-entering artist, or NBC news in general or Matt Lauer in particular, liars are going to lie and when you tell enough lies then Faith suffers or dies. And don't neglect the Sacrament of Confession where Truth and our hope in joining the Church Triumphant is restored!

In this episode we discuss a very non-exhaustive list of ways that modern man seeks a substitute to fill the God-sized hole in his heart, namely though consumerism, politics, fantasy, entertainment, and sports. Whether we're making gods of our bellies (Philippians Chapter 3) or pursuing pseudo-intellectuals as our idols and role models, or worshiping the temple of the Holy Spirit instead of the Godhead who ought to be dwelling therein, man's heart will never rest until it rests in God, no matter how strenuously we strive to the contrary.

In this episode we discussed many tangents diverging from a listener's email, covering the state of the papacy, prophecy, spiritual combat, military combat, private revelation, artificial intelligence, post-menopausal women claiming to have witnessed supernatural events, papal infallibility... but not all of the tangents in the world can distract from one indisputable fact: we must pray like our salvation and that of our neighbors depends on it!
