This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the big question on the minds of all morally aware people--it is wrong (sinful even) to lie on a tax return? What about other forms of evasion? What about tax avoidance?

We also discuss the recent news concerning Pope Benedict's legal statements, and the apparent 'untruth' therein. Was it a lie or just a mistake? How serious was it?

In current events, Canadian truck drivers storm the cities. Things continue to brew in Ukraine--Germany vows to help us, we vow to help Ukraine--meanwhile, everyone is leaving. NASA to build round trip to Mars. Humans discovered in Europe, 54,000 years ago. Australia lists koala as endangered. 430 kilometers of rain forest gone. Finland buys weapons from America. 5 officers shot and 4 wounded in shootout in Phoenix.

In the land of nonsense, Walmart shoplifter gets mad. Parrot gets stuck in tree. Man stacks eggs. Pigs outlawed in New York. Sex doll mistaken for body.
