Full Description:
Reacting to a video message by Cardinal Timothy Dolan addressing our“Islamic brothers and sisters” It’s a message of good intent, but terrible execution, and I explain why it errs to the left. Following that, I then explain why, in my opinion, a post by Bishop Joseph Strickland errs to the right in a message about communion on the tongue. Don’t worry, it’s not doctrinal error. As I explain in the episode, the Dolan video, and Strickland’s post err in attitude.

Then I discuss the controversy sparked by a completely empty quote by Pope Francis about civil unions. (“it is right that these people who live the gift of love can have legal coverage like everyone else.”) It’s a quote that provides nothing but a bag of questions, and yet the Catholic social-sphere have used it as material to put words in the Holy Father’s mouth. I respond to that, and I explain his record on civil unions, what he has and hasn’t said, reaching back to his time as Archbishop of Buenos Aires to assess and analyze his record, and what he may have meant in that quote
