This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss concupiscence… but first a tribute to America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, who succumbed to cancer on Ash Wednesday, 2/17/2021. America was better for his contribution. Pope Francis is 'God smacked' when he says God contaminated Himself by becoming man. Concupiscence is the tendency to sin, but Dan explains it as a misalignment of the three things that make us who we are: will, appetite, and intellect.
