This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss the idea that fanaticism or radicalism can or cannot apply to Christianity--or more specifically, to Catholicism.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss a recent leaked video where women (mostly women) from the abortion industry discuss the barbaric aspects of abortion, openly and unapologetically, in a way that literally makes our stomachs church. Would we feel the same way if these sorts of evil things were being spoken by men? Is evil itself a more intrinsic part of men or women? And once someone has gone to 'the dark side', are men or women more likely to give themselves over completely to evil?
This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss some of the theories (and some of the facts) being tossed concerning the Maui Wild Fires. As Hawaii burns to the ground, it looks more and more like the incompetence of government officials is at fault… but is there something more? What's happening there now? Why can't burn victims get help? Is there really a busload of school children that are missing? And why did Alex Jones say the COVID lockdowns are returning?

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss the difficult commandment that Jesus gave us--love thy enemy, do good to those who hurt you.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss the stories of temperature highs being reported more and more in the news. Are these temperature hikes real? Why are the numbers inflated? What's next to come, as the governments use the same tactics to reduce climate change that they used to reduce COVID spread. It's the same thing, all over again. While the pandemic measures were bad, this could get worse.
This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss the seeming hopelessness in a church that is disappearing… not to mention a world that hates real Christians more and more.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss The Visitation--the second joyful mystery of the rosary. They ponder whether or not Joseph knew about Mary's pregnancy at the time. It would seem that Elizabeth knew--even though there's no record of her having been told. Why didn't Zechariah believe the angel? And what does this all have to do with modern (and not so modern) Marian apparitions? Fatima, Lordes, Guadalupe?
