Ep. 10: Problems of the Modern Mass

July 5, 2018 Catholic Church, Culture 2054

In this week’s culture episode, we delve a bit further into the conversation started by Michael Voris in last week’s interview concerning the problems of the modern liturgy. We attempt to square liberal Catholicism’s origins in the Second Vatican Council of the early 1960s, highlighting the changing social mores of that era brought on by the countercultural revolution and new media, which has had deleterious effects on the Church ever since. We also discuss the many advantages of the Tridentine Mass (Extraordinary Form), and give advice on how our listeners might be able to help foster a more reverential local parish culture.

July 3, 2018 Culture, Political News 2493

On this 4th of July Special, we discuss Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement and its implications for a now potentially much more conservative Supreme Court that might be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.. We discuss leading contenders, and offer some advice for what we think needs to happen in order for the court to maximize this historic opportunity. Additionally, we speak about the upcoming midterm elections, including the surprise, upset victory of a self-described “democratic socialist” in New York’s 14th congressional district. We also talk about July 16th’s Trump-Putin meeting, and what that might entail for international politics.
