Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing com... more

  • Just in time for the Apocalypse

    If you are struggling to find a penance harsh enough to stop the coming Chastisement, listen to Anthony and Rob. 40 years fasting in the desert doesn't hold a candle to listening to a New Yorker pontificate for hours on end!

  • Unbelievable

    These know-it-alls make me feel like a crazy lady who has the weirdest conversations with herself because of how much I argue or agree with them. It’s unbearable. Imagine trying to cook your family nice meals while wanting to knock some sense into people who can’t even hear you. (That’s more often how I am when Thomist Nick’s on tbh.)

    And speaking of meals, they want us SAHMs to police other women online and also to stay offline and take care of our families: So which is it, guys? Because some ... more

  • DISGUSTING and VILE

    Your podcast about Dr. John Delony was so disgusting, full of hate and misinformation. I dare y’all to find ONE video of John explicitly telling someone to divorce that doesn’t involve abuse or them wanting to divorce through their own autonomous decision. The fact you guys said “he always recommends divorce” couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, it’s against John’s professional ethics as a trained counselor. He will give you the two paths of leaving or telling someone to give their partn... more

    This is a rambling, disjointed conversation between two meatheads - one incoherently babbling, constantly interrupting himself with cackling giggling, while simultaneously becoming interrupted by the other idiot - a glum killjoy incessantly moaning about how the ‘show’ is too long and having fits of worry over potential legal liability. All this is overlaid with a hard sell that the ‘real show only really happens in the paid locals subscription portion, but once lured in to wasting $5 a month (b... more

Q: What do you want to see happen within the Church?
We need to man up right now. It is not going to be easy going forward. And if we don't get it together, first of all, I want people to see the beauty of the traditional Catholic faith.
