This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about astronomy in 1600. We're setting the stage for Galileo's conviction. Why was he condemned? Was he really labeled a heretic? Were the authorities right to be skeptical? Was the Church "AGAINST SCIENCE"? Let's face it--the Church steps outside its range of authority with Galileo, and now we have Pope Francis doing the same thing… and he's just as wrong. Years from now, Francis' statements will be just as embarrassing as Pope Urban VIII.

In current events, more on the Covid19. Earthquakes rock the US. Trump sends the Navy to Venezuela. Eric speculates on why Trump is going along with the insanity.

In the Land of Nonsense, man makes a giant toilet paper roll. Eric tells people how to keep toilets from stopping up. Goats attack a city in Wales… goat also attacks Eric. An astrophysicist sticks things up his nose. A woman gives birth in Walmart, prompting Eric to tell the story of Mike bleeding in Walmart, again prompting Eric to tell the story of Mike catching on fire.
