    I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

  • An antidote and complement to the commercial & mainstream media

    I thoroughly enjoyed hearing voices and perspectives that are muted and ignored by most of the commercial and mainstream media. Do yourself a favour ( I am from New Zealand hence spelling) and have a listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Abortion Pill, Rubio in Rome, China's Persecution, Cultural Crisis? The View is Worth it
Q: Explain to us what the Fifth Circuit ruling actually did and on what grounds.
The ruling reinstated a temporary stay that allowed mail access to abortion pills while litigation continued, but the ultimate outcome depends on further Supreme Court briefing and decisions; the standing arguments and the legality of mailing across state lines are central issues that will be resolved as the case proceeds.
Leo & Francis, US/Iran/China, Sistine Seagull
Q: What impact could Leo's visit to Africa have on the Church's engagement with global leadership and interfaith dialogue?
The Africa visit emphasizes local vocation and staying rooted in one's country, signaling a shift toward empowering leadership locally and a nuanced stance on global missions and interfaith relations.
Leo & Francis, US/Iran/China, Sistine Seagull
Q: From your perspective, how does Pope Leo's approach compare to Pope Francis in tone and emphasis?
Leo is more measured and contemplative, prioritizing continuity with Augustine and the fathers, while Francis was more spontaneous and reform-oriented; the result could be a more deliberate, slower-building agenda.
The World Over - JUST WAR/DEATH PENALTY, POLARIZATION in the PEWS, PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
Q: Is the death penalty intrinsically immoral, or does it fall under prudential determination within specific contexts?
Abortion is the intrinsic evil that is most grave; the death penalty is not intrinsic evil in the same way, but its use must be weighed against the good of the common good and the preservation of life within a moral hierarchy.
The World Over - JUST WAR/DEATH PENALTY, POLARIZATION in the PEWS, PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
Q: Where does the church leader's competency end and political prudence begin in judging just-war scenarios?
The church informs and instructs, presenting principles to temporal authorities, but the final judgment belongs to the political leaders who have the prudential responsibility to decide actions within legitimate authority.
