Jessica and I sat down to talk about several stories from the past week involving religious and politics. They included:

-- Cardinal George Pell just became the highest-ranking Vatican official charged with sex abuse.

-- Sarah Huckabee Sanders' irrational godly defense of Donald Trump's misogyny.

-- The Christian who vandalized the new Ten Commandments monument outside the Arkansas Capitol building.

-- Judge Sonia Sotomayor's eloquent dissent in the Trinity Lutheran case.

-- How the Christian harassing an atheist lawyer defended himself by saying he's "man enough" to stand behind his hateful words.

-- Whether hooking up really happens less often on Catholic campuses and what that really means.

-- How the people buying products from Infowars and Goop are all irrational.

-- The House Republicans' plan to use a budget bill to repeal the Johnson Amendment.

-- How Canadians would rather see an atheist Prime Minister than an Evangelical one.

-- There are no longer any openly atheist elected officials in the Republican Party.

-- Upcoming talks, including one outside Ark Encounter.
