The Cantankerous Catholic

The Catholic Church is in much bigger trouble than I thought… at least in this country. In fact, the vast majority of our brothers and sisters are riding an express train to hell, and nobody seems to be doing a damn thing about it. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen prophesied that the laity would save the Church in America. I’m looking all around me to see who’ll take up the fight, and I don’t see a soul. So I guess it’s up to you and me.

Theres a lot of brouhaha from the Left about there being too many people on our planet, spawning things like the Green New Deal, and far too many ordinary people have bought into that. As a result, a lot of very dangerous things are being done today that are changing the world we've always previously known. We're going to talk about that in this weeks episode.

In this episode we’re going to compare two very interesting political platforms. Indeed, this episode is really a call to action for Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Conservatives—especially Catholics of those political affiliations who actually believe in and support the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.

Most men who’ve fought in a war don’t like talking about it. Maybe they kick it around with fellow war veterans from time to time, but most simply live with the memories. They live with the glory and the horrors, otherwise keeping their war memories away from polite company. I get that; it’s very understandable. 

I served in the army, but we weren’t fighting in any wars then. I have fought in a war as a Catholic, though. It’s a new kind of war, and it’s one I’m not anxious to talk about. It’s a war that’s been fought since the dawn of time, and now things in that war have advanced enough that it really needs to be exposed to the light of day. 

You might not believe a word of what I tell you in this episode.

If you’re a Catholic who votes Democrat, this episode is most especially for you. If you know a Catholic who votes Democrat, you need to get him or her or it to listen to this episode.

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other assorted morons, miscreants and malcontents advocate for the government giving us all sorts of free stuff. Free college tuition. Free medical care. Free basic income. Free, free, free, free. This is all socialism, plain and simple, and Bernie Sanders flatly admits that he’s a socialist. Actually he’s a Communist, but that’s a whole other issue.

What does the Church teach about socialism? Does the Church even have a teaching on socialism? We’ll find out in today’s episode.

There's a sudden resurgence of the promotion of minimum wage law increases on the state level. These laws are unjust and immoral on so many levels. You'll hear lots of Catholic social warriors promote them, but they're just being socialist, whether they realize or not it. Socialism, of course, has been absolutely condemned by eight different popes, despite that our current pontiff heretically adheres to it. 

We'll talk about the evils and injustices of minimum wage laws in this episode.

Pope Francis is at it again. In the last few weeks he’s sown more confusion and dissension. He’s making moves that have the laity asking priests what to think and how to respond to his crazy antics, and the poor priests are scratching their heads because they’re not quite sure what to say.

For all the bad things coming out of this pontificate, there’s one good and positive thing too. We’ll talk about both the good and the bad in this episode.

All eyes are on Virginia right now. The actions of the Democrats there, who just recently took control of that state's entire political machine, are tyrannical and despotic. The reaction of the people in response to the tyranny is about to launch America's second civil war. I don't mean a political civil war, but a real one where Americans will be fighting and killing each other. Tune in to learn what I mean.

I recall the movie Road House starring Patrick Swayze as Dalton. In one scene after Dalton had been hurt, he was in the office of a doctor and soon to be girlfriend Kelly Doc Lynch to get stitches. Dalton had refused Novocain to deaden his skin in preparation for the needle used to sew his skin together. Doc asked him if he enjoyed pain. His reply is one Ive never forgotten Pain don't hurt. 

I've actually meditated on that tough guy response, because its actually a great Catholic common man or Catholic tough guy comment. Tune in to hear me explain that.
