This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) reopen Pope Francis' letter to the faithful, and more carefully dive into the text, paragraph by paragraph, noting even more of his apparent schizophrenia. This episode covers paragraphs 1 - 20.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss Pope Francis's latest letter to the faithful: Desiderio Desideravi… I desire to desire? The letter is Francis's thoughts on The Last Supper, and the way we participate in that (and in the crucifixion) - -the Mass. He is himself through much of the document, but surprisingly brilliant in other parts. It's almost as if he suffers schizophrenia. Also discuss, obviously, is the recent decision from the Supreme Court overturning Roe V Wade.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the state of the nation--America seems to be going down in flames. From vaccines for children to Uvalde police not allowing parents to protect their own children, we are not in a good place right now. Pope Francis is claiming that all of our problems in the church stem from Vatican II deniers and 'restorationists.' Meanwhile, Archbishop Cordileone is attacked for standing up to Pelosi while Bishop Callahan is celebrated for restoring the gay priest Jeffrey Burrill. And then there's SADS--a sudden new phenomenon where adults unexplainably die.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss something Eric has admittedly been avoiding since the entire election scam of 2020. But, as good Catholics, he believes it is our duty to climb back into the subject of politics… even if we doubt our ability to have any effect on the outcome. Division of Church and State is not real. At the same time, the days of relying on NBC News for information are over. We have a particular duty to find the hidden information, and to be good red pilled Americans.

Women Who Hate Men

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the modern cultural phenomenon of angry women… especially when that anger is pointed at men.  It seems to be getting more and more prevalent, and we have yet to find a reason.  The female anger against men seems to be going somewhere, and it's not pretty.  Angry women might have more anger at their own nature than at man's nature. 

The Ones You Never Hear About

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the 'underground' abortion movement--including the type of people not often mentioned in the high society fund-raising events or 40 Days For Life type of rallies. These are the people in the mud, and they deserve to be talked about.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss a very much avoided subject--that of the seminarians claiming that they were preyed upon by priests.  While APACT absolutely condemns all sexual deviancy, especially by priests and bishops, we also want to examine the real nature of what was / is happening in the seminaries.  Were bishops and priests preying on otherwise innocent seminarians, or was / is there already an atmosphere that attracted a certain type of man to the seminaries--making it easier for bishops and priests to find and abuse 'victims.'  And when to such targets of abuse stop being victims and become willing participants?

Could It Be The Fault Of Wimpy Bishops?

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the modern American man--and his lack of bravery, valor, and nerve. Why is the modern American so wimpy? Is it possible to change this? Might the American bishops be the key to bringing masculinity back to the American culture? It's sure disappointing to see our bishops cower like scared kittens.

A quick word from Eric and Dan concerning the consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Pope Francis.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the idea of a weak pro-life movement, and go through the history of the movement itself, analyzing the weaknesses and illustrating why it's not likely to change. This is in response to the Timothy Gordon podcast criticizing the 40 Days Of Life people. Whether it's prolife or antiabortion, if you don't see courage, you're looking in the wrong place.
