  • Catholics who no longer believe in America

    don’t give a fig about the ‘consent of the governed’ or ‘live and let live,’ two concepts that are in our country’s blood and soil.

    Anti-American Catholics believe in forcing their unpopular opinions onto the polity at large. Thank goodness the polity at large has had a bellyful of Prolife, Inc’s bullspit.

    The GOP will get right with women’s rights or never hold meaningful political power again. Tick tock!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 217: Real History Isn't Safe, But It's True (Phillip Campbell)
Q: If you could be the patron saint of anything, what would it be and why?
There's really only one answer, and that would be the patron saint of Dr. Pepper, and probably carbonated beverages overall, because it's become a signature part of my teaching persona and student interactions.
Ep 190 Revisited: New Adam (John Bishop)
Q: If you could be the patron saint of anything, what would it be and why?
John explains that he would choose patron saint of confused men to guide them toward a vision of holy, not toxic, masculinity, and to offer a concrete picture of what mature manhood looks like.
Ep 76 Revisit: Father Vincent Lampert on Spiritual Warfare, Real Exorcisms, and How to Win
Q: What practical steps can men take today to prepare for spiritual warfare?
Be a man of God, commit to Mass and family prayer, model faith for children, and lean on parish resources and sacraments rather than relying on sensational means.
Ep 76 Revisit: Father Vincent Lampert on Spiritual Warfare, Real Exorcisms, and How to Win
Q: How does one even become the exorcist?
The bishop appoints someone known for holiness and piety; training is done through an apprenticeship with experienced exorcists, including time in Rome for hands-on experience.
Ep 184 Revisited: Saying "Yes": A Raw Vocation Story Every Catholic Man Needs to Hear
Q: Now, since you said yes, did you ever go back or have doubts?
He describes ongoing discernment with occasional doubts, but emphasizes that the inner peace and ongoing guidance kept pulling him toward priestly formation.
