What We Believe… Why We Believe It—the weekly bulletin insert to educate your parishioners!

No one disputes that today’s Catholic lacks knowledge of the faith. That's the reason so many are leaving the Church (6.5 people leave for every one who becomes a Catholic)—they simply don't know the faith. But the What We Believe… Why We Believe It system can change all that. Within a year of reading What We Believe… Why We Believe It, your parishioners will know exactly what they...

Depending on who you talk to, Pope Francis is either a luminary or an apostate. For the sake of argument, let’s assume he is an apostate. What does that mean to Sixpackers? How should we respond? What are our moral obligations? We’ll answer those questions and more in this episode.

Exactly what I feared and predicted would happen because of the pandemic lockdown of America has begun. We’ve gone from an irrational fear of the coronavirus to willingly abrogating our civil liberties to political leaders who mostly don’t actually care about our safety and health, to society breaking down into anarchy and possible civil war.

I’ll break it all down for you in this episode.

Eighteen million are dying from the coronavirus in America. Well, the coronavirus is really the indirect killer. The actual killers of 18 million in America are doctors Fauci and Brix.

This pandemic lockdown has most certainly brought out the worst in some people, as you’d expect as a result of the effects of original sin. But it’s brought out the best in many more than those showing their worst.

I’ve been keeping track of the good, kind, and inspirational things our fellow Americans have been doing since all this started, and I want to devote this episode to spotlight some of what these amazing Americans have done.

Almost every diocese in America and around the world has suspended the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Some dioceses have suspended other sacraments as well. Archbishop Winton Gregory of Washington D.C. wrote, “My number one priority as your Archbishop is to ensure the safety and health of all who attend our Masses, the children in our schools, and those we welcome through our outreach and services.”

On its face, Archbishop Gregory’s statement sounds right and reasonable. But is he right? That’s the question we have to answer this week.

I’m probably the only host in the podcasting world who hasn’t said anything about the coronavirus pandemic. I really haven’t had anything to say. 

I’m not a medical expert, so anything I could say in that regard would be mere speculation, or a regurgitation of what you’ve already heard so many time that it’s making you as sick as the virus itself. I most certainly haven’t wanted to join the chorus of malcontents and miscreants who’re trying to stir up as much panic as they can.

This stimulus plan is a different story, though. I knew that sooner or later something like this would come out of the putrid intestines of our government. I’ve been waiting for this, because I am an expert on this topic. So we’re going to take a look at what the coronavirus stimulus means to you.

By the way, this episode is for those who will benefit from the stimulus, which is hopefully very few of you. If the stimulus doesn’t effect you, you’ll want to listen anyway. You’ll likely learn some things.

I never intended to create an episode based on the responses to the survey I asked you to take a couple of weeks ago, but that’s exactly what this episode is. There are a few things that’ll just be fun to talk about, but there are also several things you told me that provide for a real teaching moment. Some of what I say may cost me a few listeners, but whether I anger you that badly or not, you can always count on me giving you the truth. The absolute and sometimes brutal truth.

I think all devoutly practicing Catholics will agree that the ideologies within feminism aren’t compatible with Catholic teaching. But its effects on the faithful are actually worse than you might think. In fact, I’ll be so bold as to assert that most everyone in this listening audience accept as normal some of the earliest feminist propaganda, which does much to stop families from reaching their full potential in the best situations, and works to destroy them in the worst situations.

This sixty-second episode of The Cantankerous Catholic intends to prove that, so hold on to your seats.
