The news and commentary is great, the endless banter gets old really fast. I just skip the first 8 minutes. Guys, you are smart (no doubt), but you are not funny or cool, and I am not your friend. I want news and value your commentary, not the rest. I am not the only one. Read your reviews.
I often listen to this podcast when I’m trying to fall asleep, and it does the trick every time. Except for the episodes recorded in front of an audience. Those get pretty raucous! Overall, though, JD and Ed have a pleasant rapport that makes for a palatable program.
To imply that people use Pope Francis’ ideas out of fear…. So disrespectful to imply that so soon after his death. Had it occurred to you that his ideas were well-liked, or would that notion only ever apply to popes you approve of? You could just say you don’t like him. Be honest: that’s what’s going on. You don’t have to neg on the legacy of a great man, a great pastor, and, yes, a great theologian. That implication is calumny. You don’t have to go there. I don’t listen as much as I used to, bu... more
Came to listen to informed news and smart commentary, what I got was 20 minutes of mindless banter about Halloween candy.
I’ve just started following your podcast and writings. Though I’m not a fan of a lot of personal bloviating before getting to the news I decided to give you guys an honest and charitable try. I’ve read and listened faithfully for several months now before deciding to jump in with my credit card….i do believe in and support Catholics putting everything on the line for Christ the King. However I am sad to say that the recent comments/support of the ridiculous anime art of the Catholic pilgrim co... more

This show consistently delivers thoughtful Catholic news and canon-law analysis, often anchored in governance, accountability, and institutional reform within the Church. Episodes mix sharp analysis of Vatican decisions, archdiocesan leadership changes, and financial or doctrinal developments with light-hearted banter, personal anecdotes, and a focus on how these issues affect laity and clergy alike. A standout is the pair's ability to translate complex canon-law topics into accessible discussions, occasionally exploring controversies with both critical depth and humor, making it a strong pick for listeners seeking informed, non-polemical Church coverage.
Noteworthy strengths include deep canonical insight, timely coverage of major Church ... more
