The Noonday Devil

March 6th, 2020  |  1 hr 23 mins

Luke listens to a podcast that's not Pints with Aquinas and has an idea: let's take the theological concept of Sloth/Acedia, aka, "the noonday devil", and combine it with the complete lack of training or purpose many institutions give employees.
Gomer applies it to marriages, with less than successful results.
Then Luke mocks Gomer's pain when he collapsed on our friends' mom's front yard sobbing.

Bishop Barron's Mandatum and the Lack of Public Life

February 7th, 2020  |  1 hr 4 mins

bishop barron, catholic, censorship, jacked, mandatum

Bishop Barron floated an idea out there: social media is the getting ugly and supposed Catholic Theological Experts are causing a lot the problem, so maybe the hierarchy should do something. But then I'm sitting here asking, "Who will enforce it? The USCCB? Seriously?" Then we talk about how, outside of sporting events, there is no real public life, thus Virtual Reality is going to kill us all.
