APACT: 2021/09/01 - Extraterrestrial, Ignorant, Or Just Plain Evil Bishops Persecuting Priests

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the latest cases of Catholic bishops persecuting good priests… especially since Pope Francis's Motu Proprio. Costa Rico bishops are pure lunatics. Some American bishops aren't much better. We're once again faced with the fact that such men either have to be stupid or evil--or both, and the time for pope-splaining and bishop-splaining is over. We've got to support our good priests--there aren't enough of them.

In the news, Eric goes over some of the recent scandals in the church, including Pope Francis's statement that the Ten Commandments aren't 'absolutes', and Mayor Lightfoot receiving communion. Natural disasters continue throughout the world but have somewhat lessened. The Taliban takes control more fully and all other nations are now out of Afghanistan. A mass grave from Stalin's purge is discovered in Ukraine. Cuba accepts 'cryptocurrency'. Gunman kills woman in Garland, Texas, steeals car, and fires on police. China prohibits kids from playing video games. North Korea is using a nuclear reactor again. 20 states sue the Biden administration. SpaceX docks with ISS carrying a 4,800 pound load.

In the land of nonsense, milk crate challenge is banned on TikTok. Mugshot inspires false accusations. Stingray photobombs baby picture. Cow is stuck in tree. Car thief does not want to become body thief. Woman escapes from jail by stealing identity.
