  • Popesplaining at its finest! Now an Islamic apologist!

    Although he went from a total popesplainer to being more listenable and critical of the papacy, he’s gone full on Trump derangement syndrome and Muslim apologist for Hamas, Iran and all the Muslim proxies. Almost unlistenable at this point. Maybe he’s being paid by the Vatican? By Hamas? What the heck! Crazy stuff!

  • Major hits and some misses

    Listing more con’s than pro’s, but the pro’s carry a lot of weight. Pro’s: - Incredibly thorough and well-versed, very clear and sharp answers. I know I can get a quality answer on most questions related to the magisterium, ecclesiology, theology, etc. - Right intentions. Con’s: - Sometimes bashes you over the head with logic. Not everything has to be attacked like a freight train. - Could steel man those he critiques a bit better, especially since he’s so thorough otherwise. It would be more in... more

  • Zionism and Trumpism

    Should change the show's name to reflect Lofton's true loves. Bad hasbara plus laughable popesplaining make this show a joke.

  • RadTrads Stay Mad

    Michael “The Popesplainer” Lofton is the best defence against so-called “Traditionalists” pushing their neo-Protestantism on the internet today. If you’re getting the RadTrads mad, you’re clearly doing something right. Love the podcast, keep it up Michael.

How Israeli Propaganda Became “News” w/ Dr. Assal Rad
Q: Do you think the media will improve or change its approach to covering Gaza and Palestine in the future?
There are no strong incentives for a broad improvement without structural accountability, but increasing independent journalism and public scrutiny could push mainstream outlets to reform and adopt more transparent practices.
Fired by Burger King for Saying “Free Palestine” – They Call It Hate Speech

Fired by Burger King for Saying “Free Palestine” – They Call It Hate Speech
Q: Did she truly discriminate against a customer and engage in hate speech? Or is something else going on here?

Mamdani Eyes Arresting Netanyahu at the U.N. in New York
Q: What legal options exist to arrest a visiting head of government, and could laws be changed to enable it?

Mamdani Eyes Arresting Netanyahu at the U.N. in New York
Q: Will Mamdani arrest Netanyahu if he visits New York for the UN General Assembly?
The answer revolves around legal constraints and the limits of municipal power; Mamdani suggests he would follow New York City law and not exceed that authority, while acknowledging the ICC warrant creates a complex legal backdrop.
