This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss one of the age-old subjects that most podcasters have talked about many times already.  But this time, they address a very specific sentiment that the priests and bishops have left with people--and still have yet to answer.  Many people who were not directly af...

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the morality of copyrights and patents, and both from a religious perspective and a legal one.  Do content producers have some sort of natural right to their creations?  Do we have a natural obligation to abide by current copyright infringement law?  Is do...

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the mass craze that is officially a world-wide phenomenon… and mostly seems to be ignored by orthodox Catholics.  Why are those who are strong in the faith less likely to pay attention to the mask-wearing edicts?  And why do some people embrace it whole-heartedl...

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric and Dan discuss the theory that this is it… the world is about to end--a theory growing in popularity as the Pope betrays more and more faithful Catholics, and the American government seems to be disappearing right before our eyes.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric and Dan discuss the legendary Saint Joan of Arc.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Non-Sense) talk about the "saints" of Vatican II. Years after the council, we see the devastating effects it had on our church--why then are those who made it happen elevated to sainthood, and is their canonization "infallible?" These are deep questions that extend into Pope Francis's pub...

In current events, New York is disappearing. Seattle...

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about the world-wide insanity happening in almost every major city. The riots seem to be about more than racism and police brutality.

Space X deploys 6...

This week, as promised, Dan and Eric talk about the history of SSPX and why they really are no longer in communion with Rome. While many good people have put their trust in the society, sadly, they are not unlike many protestants, and seem to follow the same patters as other churches that have severed ties with Rome. In the news, Trump withdraws from the Open Skies agreement because Russia keeps v...

Is the Bible completely without error? The Catholic Church says 'yes.' Eric and Dan discuss the importance of recognizing the Bible's accuracy, but allowing for interpretation.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things Eric and Dan dive into the subject of DNA manipulation and the morality of genetic therapy. They use real examples, and then ask 'what if'. They both agree that most plant and animal genetic manipulation is okay, but it gives us sometimes dangerous knowledge. At this point in time, human gene manipulation is against the Catholic understanding of moralit...

This week, on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric discuss the use of 'thee' and 'thou' in prayer and scripture and the modern push to start using 'you.'

Pornography and why it's wrong. The change in how we discuss it that has happened over the past ten years. The saints say surprisingly little about sex.

Eric and Dan vow to talk amore about how a man ca...

This week, on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about religious liberty and what exactly Dignitatis Humanae, the Vatican II document, says about it. Many people talk about the document as a 'change' in Catholic theology, but does the document really say anything at all? And what did the 'old church' have to say about freedom of religion? Is it compatible with Americanism? In curre...

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…...
