It's good to talk about things when you're angry, so that's what today's episode is all about. No polished "statements" on the state of the church, just ranting, discussing, and learning. I hope you all discuss these things, too. If you're angry or hurt, talk to someone you trust, keep praying, and don't become discouraged. We're still in His Church.

Ethan's bishop addressed the crisis as well.

I would like to point out that we mention an unsubstantiated news story. Cardinal Wuerl may still be in the US. The only news organizations to release a story about his alleged extradition were extremely biased sources. This is just one more example of why independent research is important.

Finally, we didn't talk about this on the podcast, but we have some cool things happening:

Catholic Card Game: We have officially funded The Crunch booster pack! Thanks to all who gave!

Catholic Balm Co: We're working with the folks over at Catholic Balm Co! Check out their new aroma, Morning Offering!

Encounter Houston: The Encounter Conference is Sept. 14-16 in Houston. There's still time to register!

We have forever been enshrined as a card in The Catholic Card Game! (Link below.) But on a more serious note, Patrick deals with dispair, Ethan rants about mercy, and we both talk about how holiness is simple, but not easy. Enjoy!

Evangelii Gaudium is a FOCUS Missionary's best friend. Ethan has been praying with it recently, so we decided to talk about a particularly confusing sentence from paragraph 8.
