December 25, 2019 The Presidency & Catholics

Episode 51:
I’ve never made any secret to the fact that I hold the Democratic Party and its members in absolute disdain and contempt. Everything on their platform is evil and antithetical to Catholicism. In fact, any Democrat who claims to be a Catholic is a liar and hypocrite, because you can’t support their platform and be Catholic. The Democratic Party’s platform is more closely aligned to the Satanic Temple than the Catholic Church.
But what about President Trump? How should Catholics feel about him? Well, there are several things to consider about that. Tune in to find out!

December 18, 2019 Pope Francis: Accept or Reject His Authority

Episode 50:
I’m deeply concerned. I’ve been inundated with emails from people who are concerned and confused about the things going on in the Catholic Church. Catholics are now leaving the Church in droves, and the overwhelming majority of them aren’t citing the sex abuse scandal, but rather the wacky, damaging things Pope Francis is doing.
I understand the confusion, anger and even fear that you folks are experiencing, and I empathize with you. But I also understand that my empathy doesn’t give you any comfort or direction. So it seems to me that the only way I can be of help to you is to answer the question on everybody’s mind: Do we accept or reject the authority of Pope Francis? Tune in to get my take on it!

December 11, 2019 This Ain’t Catholic Social Justice!
Episode 49:
Im a Catholic who's co-equally a Catholic and an American patriot. Many people among Catholic social warriors and other fruitcakes, idiots and malcontents say that I cant be both. They say the two positions are mutually exclusive; they're contradictions. Here in the Ozark Mountains we call people like them booger-eating morons. Tune in to find out what I mean!
Correction
For some odd reason (and most things about me are odd), I made reference to Pius XI being pope when this country’s constitution was written. That’d be kind of difficult, because Pius XI wasn’t pope until about 150 years later. I meant to say Pius VI. Sorry if I confused you. (See how red my face is?)

December 04, 2019Preparing for the Storm
Episode 48:
A storm is coming. Only a fool would say that there’s no storm coming. In fact, we’re already being battered by the pre-storm gale force winds. The evils that are confronting us both in the world and in the Church are such that we’ve never seen before in history.
In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told us 2000 years ago in a very quiet and low keyed way how to prepare for this storm, and you’ll need to tune in to find out what that is.

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 believe… and be able to defend those beliefs.

November 27, 2019 Of Demons and Saints
Shortly after the desecration of St. Peters Basilica at the Vatican and St. Maria in Traspontina church in Rome with the pagan Pachamama idols, a message from the bowels of hell was given to four exorcists. Ordinarily I'd take such things with a grain of salt, but the grain turns into a rock when multiple exorcists get this message simultaneously from different demonic sources. This message may or may not be true, but it really begins to carry a lot of weight with me when considered in the light of everything thats been happening in the Church and in the world the last several years. As best as I can reason things out, there are three possible explanations for the massive evil we've been witnessing during these last several years. Tune in to get the down low.

November 20, 2019 The Final Conflict
Episode 46: Jesus told us we have to be attuned to the signs of the times. I’ve tried to be just that. All of the signs I’m seeing are glum, at best. When we take time to think about them, these signs are actually frightening to most of us. They shouldn’t be, though. Now, more…

October 23, 2019 Private Property Rights and Our Respect for It
Episode 42: God has given everyone the right to private ownership so that we can enjoy the fruits of our labors, live with the dignity due our humanity, and maintain a certain independence. That sounds good when we apply it to ourselves, but just how much honesty, integrity and respect do we have when it…
