This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the morality of copyrights and patents, and both from a religious perspective and a legal one.  Do content producers have some sort of natural right to their creations?  Do we have a natural obligation to abide by current copyright infringement law?  Is downloading movies a sin?  And when should the Church own prayer?

In current events, New Zealand announces 'climate change emergency'.  California wildfires, once again, destroying property.  China brings back a piece of the moon, and Japan brings back a piece of an asteroid… the asteroid piece is a much bigger deal.  SpaceX Starship crashes.  Breakdancing is now a competition in the Olympics.  Nepal and China agree on Mt. Everest height.

In the land of nonsense, an Amazon worker draws something on someone's window.  Someone finds a giant goldfish.  Pope Francis joins the 'capitalists.'
