The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.04 airing Sunday, January 23rd 2022 featuring Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August.Ships log: Rear Admiral Johnny P. Angel reporting.Ahoy! This week aboard the Flagship of the Atheist Experience Network, Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August head for international waters. Of course, they begin at the official NP winter quarters, a small, but comfortable villa, up the Tiber from the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from Ostia Antica, seaport of ancient Rome, itself. The skuttlebutt is that il Papa is singing some pro-LGBTQ shanties. A closer listen is warranted. They find that his tone is somehow off…hmmm. Having weighed anchor, these modern day Argonauts sail for what seems a lifetime, only to find themselves traversing the Sulu Sea (yes, the SULU Sea). Upon making landfall at Bataan Port, our intrepid crew surveys the Philippines' new ban on child marriage. About time they cheer! But what is this, they each descry through their looking glass? The expected: religious-types making a typical stink. Noted in the ship's log. Time to make waves…a fair wind blows them southwest along the coast to Borneo, west to Singapore, past the tip of India, through the Suez Canal, beyond the Straights of Gibraltar, hugging Portugal, Espana, and Frahhhnce, across the channel, skirting the eastern coast of England, and FINALLY laying anchor at the Port of Tilbury, in Essex, UK. Here, Captain Laura and the Bridge Crew stride the gangplank and inspect lowly Piltdown Man and his cobbled-together head. They've collected their shillings and shamble (their legs are not used to such stability) to the nearest pub, where over whatever drinks they elect, they confabulate a spell on the topic of that singular cohort: Gen Z: and how they do, and do not get together. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.

Mitch Harper and Matt Baiamonte discuss BYU basketball and their unlikely success this season. BYU is off to their best start under Mark Pope, 16-4. Pope mentioned on Thursday that their season was saved, in large part, by their pair of freshmen big men: Fousseyni Traore and Atiki Ally Atiki. The guys discuss their somewhat surprising success and the potential Traore has.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Joyce said that Catholicism means "Here comes everybody." But does "everybody" mean our Yorkiepoos, too? Earlier this month, Pope Francis made the remark that "many, many couples do not have children because they do not want to, or they have just one – but they have two dogs, two cats… Yes, dogs and cats take the place of children [...] And this denial of fatherhood or motherhood diminishes us, it takes away our humanity." Annie, who is not Catholic, wondered if this pooh-poohing of pet ownership was echoing the church's stance on our relationships with non-human animals, or if maybe the Pope was going rogue. So, she called her friend Dan Gallagher, a professor of Classics at Cornell University. Professor Gallagher is uniquely qualified to discuss this topic: He used to be one of the Pope's secretaries and translators. He also grew up breeding Cocker Spaniels, and once gave a funeral to a hamster. He and Annie discuss some of the Catholic church's past champions of animals -- from Saint Francis of Assisi to cat-lover Pope Benedict -- try to parse the Pope's words and wonder if maybe it's time for Pope Francis to try his hand at...pet sitting.

Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer Allison - When you know someone is not in the state of grace but they go up for communion anyway, how do I approach them without sounding 'better than them'? Andrea - What they have done is called a little human a fetus and use it an excuse to kill the baby. DNA is unique from person to person. Judy - What are the effects of the anointing of the sick? Brian - Our pharmacist is asking us to tell a 'lie of convenience.' We are going on a trip to Italy and this has to do with the amount of medication that they give me at a time. Allyssa – I have been married for 21 years. My husband has financial problems and we have lost a brand new home. We are struggling because he is not bringing in enough money. Should I say enough is enough and leave him? Allisa - If I die before I come into full communion with the Catholic Church, will I or can I still go to Purgatory? Mary - A relative close to us is involved in a cult. Should we share this news with parents? Bill - I disagree with the idea that getting enough medicine for the trip to Italy would be wrong. Judy - I want to be right with the Church and right with God but am sometimes confused about what the Pope says. What should I do and how should I think about this?

This week, in celebration of Martin Luther King Day, we're replaying one of our favorite interviews with Derrick A. Pope of The Arc of Justice Institute (https://onthearc.net/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Hidden Legal Figures Podcast host Alexander Pope returns to discuss the landmark 1956 case against Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. for his role in the year-long Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott and violation of a 1921 anti-boycott law. An example of white Alabama officials' effort to use the courts to quash the Civil Rights Movement, the trial began with numerous attempts by prosecutors to identify King as the official leader of the boycott. King's legal team countered by trying to establish "just cause" or "legal excuse" for the boycott, with 31 witnesses sharing their first-hand experiences with abusive bus drivers and reasons for participating in the boycott. In spite of these moving statements, Judge Eugene W. Carter found King guilty of violating the anti-boycott law and fined him $500 plus an additional $500 in court costs. King's appeal was rejected, and he later paid the fine.    Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Derrick Alexander Pope: Derrick Alexander Pope is President and Managing Director of The Arc of Justice Institute.

Saint Athanasius, pillar of Orthodoxy and Father of the Church, was born in Alexandria in 275, to pious Christian parents. Even as a child, his piety and devotion to the Faith were so notable that Alexander, the Patriarch of the city, took Athanasius under his protection. As a student, he acquired a thorough education, but was more interested in the things of God than in secular learning, and withdrew for a time into the desert to sit at the feet of Saint Anthony (January 17), whose disciple he became and whose biography he later wrote. On returning to Alexandria, he was ordained to the diaconate and began his public labors for the Church. He wrote his treatise On the Incarnation, when he was only twenty. (It contains a phrase, still often quoted today, that express in a few words some of the depths of the Mystery of the Incarnation: God became man that man might become god.)   Just at this time Arius, a priest in Alexandria, was promoting his enticing view that the Son and Word of God is not of one essence with the Father, but a divine creation of the Father. This view, which (as Athanasius realized) strikes at the very possibility of mankind's salvation, gained wide acceptance and seemed for a time to threaten the Christian Faith itself. In 325, the Emperor Constantine the Great convoked a Council of the Church at Nicaea to settle the turmoil that the Arian teaching had spread through the Church. Athanasius attended the Council, and defended the Orthodox view so powerfully that he won the admiration of the Orthodox and the undying enmity of the Arians. From that time forth his life was founded on the defense of the true consubstantiality (homoousia) of the Son with the Father.   In 326, not long before his death, Patriarch Alexander appointed Athanasius to be his successor, and Athanasius was duly elevated to the patriarchal throne. He was active in his pastoral role, traveling throughout Egypt, visiting churches and monasteries, and working tirelessly not only to put down the Arian heresy, but to resolve various schisms and moral declines that affected his territory.   Though the Arian heresy had apparently been condemned once and for all at Nicea, Arius had many powerful allies throughout the Empire, even in the Imperial court, and Athanasius was soon subjected to many kinds of persecution, some local, some coming from the Imperial throne itself. Though he was Patriarch of Alexandria for more than forty years, a large amount of that time was spent in hiding from powerful enemies who threatened him with imprisonment or death. Twice he fled to Rome for protection by the Pope, who in the early centuries of the Church was a consistent champion of Orthodoxy against its various enemies. From his various hiding places, Athanasius issued tracts, treatises and epistles which helped to rally the faithful throughout Christendom to the Orthodox cause.   In 366, the Emperor Valens, fearing a revolt of the Egyptians on behalf of their beloved Archbishop, officially restored Athanasius to favor, and he was able to spend the last seven years of his life in peace. Of his forty-seven years as Patriarch, about seventeen were spent in hiding or exile. He reposed in peace in 373, having given his entire adult life, at great suffering, to the defense of the Faith of Christ.

I'll start with a few admissions and caveats. I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of organized religion. I've dabbled in most of them, ranging from the modern, mainstream “hip” version of Christianity (where they encourage patrons to wear jeans and play Christian rock music at mass) to the Assembly of God (Pentecostals). I've attended Baptist, Mormon, and Episcopalian churches and I'm one of the very few people I know who has actually read the Qur'an.In the end, spirituality is for me, but not organized religion and believe you me, there is a very stark difference. Religion is the process and practice of humans telling other humans what to believe and how God will react…not to mention the collection of endless amounts of money along the way. I am, instead, like the majority of our founding fathers were, a deist; meaning that I acknowledge the existence of a supreme being and/or creator and who or what that looks like is not of your god damned business (pun intended). Deists also believe that this supreme being does not intervene in the universe…he is the ultimate believer in free will and doesn't have the time or inclination to actually plan out or interfere in the silly decisions humans are making on a day-to-day level, let alone our long term individual fates.In other words, everyone hates me in the spiritual world. Atheists think I'm a childish moron who, like others, believes in the man in the moon, and religious believers think I'm gutless and looking for a way to split the difference. I've heard it all from both sides. The thing that amazes me is that I am neither threatened nor upset at their beliefs, or lack thereof, but boy are most of them very concerned about mine. It might make one wonder or question their level of faith if one were so inclined.With all of that said, Pope Francis is a hypocritical moron who, quite frankly, needs to call it a career.I freely admit that I don't get the “Pope,” thing. Elevating a human on earth to near god-like status (which is absolutely what the Catholic Church does regardless of their spin) is, in and of itself, both absurd and creepy. That said, Pope Francis was ushered in as a change agent who was going to modernize the church. Despite being now 85 years old, he has been embraced by young believers for his acceptance and/or open-mindedness towards the LGBTQ community, women in the hierarchy, and even birth control. For much of his reign, Francis has shown a desire to move the church forward, while understanding that such changes must be done slowly and methodically to maintain the existing base of followers.https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2021/09/23/james-martin-pope-francis-lgbt-241483https://www.npr.org/2021/02/08/965261708/pope-francis-latest-moves-to-empower-women-in-roman-catholic-churchhttps://www.firstpost.com/world/let-couples-not-the-church-decide-on-contraception-pope-francis-writes-in-the-joy-of-love-2719410.htmlBut boy, did he miss the mark last week…and people noticed.Pope Francis, on Wednesday, January 5th, lamented that couples prefer pets to children. He said many “do not have children because they do not want to, or they have just one, but they have two dogs, two cats… dogs and cats take the place of children.”He said that parenthood provides "something fundamental, something important" in people's lives. He said there is "a form of selfishness" in couples deciding to have just one child (or none) and that this "is a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity."This is not a new message by the Pontiff; in 2014 he made sure we all knew that having the audacity to be married and choose to neither have, adopt, nor raise any children would lead to a life of “bitterness and loneliness.”This is all too rich. Here we have a man who has never had children, never been married, and perhaps most notably, never had a dog, lecturing all of us on all three without being remotely connected with the delicious hypocrisy and vapidness of his comments. (Never mind the fact that we have no shortage of humans on this planet as we're primed to hit 8 billion this year).Let's start with the hypocrisy:The church talks the talk on families, but it doesn't walk the walk. Many of its beliefs and policies are decidedly not pro-family.Consider, for example, the second-class status married people have had in the church itself for centuries. For close to 900 years, the church has deemed celibacy crucial to a priest's vocation. By being unmarried, the priest more fully conforms to the life of Christ, and thus his role was more elevated spiritually. So which is it? Is this simply the Pope trying to save the souls of those of us not so spiritually elevated as he and others that we have chosen to instead give in to the temptation of flesh by pointing out that the least we can do is provide more humans who can ultimately tithe? (For, let's not pretend that in the end, all messages from all religions are motivated by one thing and one thing alone: money).Is now the time to mention the offspring of not-so-celibate priests? No one knows how many there are, but it appears thousands of children may be in this situation, and some may never have been told who their real father is nor have received sufficient child support as part of the decades-old child molestation scandal that has been beautifully brushed aside by the Church so worried about the precious children.Meanwhile, the pope endorses more adoption. But many Catholic social service agencies refuse to include gay couples as foster or adoptive parents. In judging loving gay unions as not “even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family,” the church cannot see the potential of gay Catholics as good parents.There's also the deep inconsistency between the pope's push for more children at the same time that he erects barriers to couples actually having them. Though he expresses empathy for couples struggling with infertility, church rules have been very picky about which fertility treatments can be approved. One treatment deemed unacceptable is in vitro fertilization, even if it only uses the husband's sperm and the wife's eggs. In part that's because children are not conceived the way God intended.IVF is “making children instead of accepting them as a gift,” Francis said in 2014. The church retains its opposition despite the fact that IVF often offers couples their only chance for children after other treatments have failed and has led to thousands of successful pregnancies.I could fill endless space with the hypocrisy of all religion, let alone on this particular subject, but alas, let's move on to the more salient point:In 2022, you can't expect people to believe we are simply here to breed. We are all individual humans with dreams and desires and goals. They don't always include having children. I know a lot of people like me who don't even like children.Many people, of course, choose to have children. Some have one, some have six. That is a choice they make, and I say more power to them, as long as they own the fact that they made that choice and the challenges that come with having brought lives into this world are theirs to bear and burden on their own, and they created their situation.And most importantly, people who choose to have children are in no way better or more human than those who choose not to. In many cases, the latter group is better, for we have recognized our own limitations and inabilities and decided not to pass those along to innocent lives who never asked to be brought into this world. As Oprah Winfrey acknowledged in 2013, had she chosen to have children, she would have had to choose the things in her life which had to be given the highest priority, and she knew she wouldn't have chosen her children. She would have chosen her career, and her kids would have both suffered and learned to quickly hate her. Is this the fate Pope Francis wishes upon all babies?To be clear, there are quite literally millions of Americans who have both children and thriving careers and interests; but they are motivated and driven by that. Many of us are not, and recognizing that is the least selfish thing a human can do. I'm not aware of any of us who have chosen not to have children who are pining to be rewarded, congratulated, or revered for our decisions, it would just be nice if we weren't demonized for it. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the-hot-button/why-oprah-never-had-kids-they-would-hate-me/article15964472/To the most appalling misstep of the Pope's comments, let us acknowledge an undeniable truth: dogs make us more human. They make us better. Dogs are, in fact, superior to most people.The idea that dogs are unlike children is ridiculous.Custody battles break out over dogs. Short of setting up a college fund, having a dog is as heavy a responsibility — one with an expiration date, with heartbreak for the human built into the deal.I've seen people grieve for their dogs harder and longer than they have for friends and family…dog parents know. To the extent that offends parents, go to hell and stop telling those of us who have chosen who and what to love differently than you that you are somehow better and more enlightened. And while you're at it, remember once again that you are aligning yourself with someone who we're being lectured at who happens to be a childless Pope who doesn't have a dog.Why begrudge people their dogs? Why such a heartless take on man's best friend? What a misstep for Pope Francis. Why not take his cue from the late Pope John Paul II, himself an actual beloved global figure, who once comforted a small boy grieving his dog with the reassurance that yes, all dogs go to heaven?“Animals,” John Paul II said, “are as near to God as men are.”Or perhaps we look to a potentially even greater spiritual leader, the late Mahatma Gandhi who famously said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”And need I remind all that Dog is God spelled backward? Coincidence or divine intervention? What say you, Pope hypocrite? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/03/pope-tells-couples-have-children-not-pets https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/pope-francis-claims-pets-replacing-children-many-families-selfish-s-ncna1287140 https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/6-questions-pope-francis-who-may-benefit-adopting-petSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Pope recently went on the record scolding couples who decide to have pets instead of kids. On this episode of the #StumbleWell podcast, we discuss his statements. Full disclosure, Hallease is not catholic and Mr. Hallease is a "cafeteria catholic" at best. We discuss how Pope Francis' comments can be tied back to different ideas around race, gender, and money. If you've watched a few episodes of the podcast then you know we're comfortably child-free currently so we found Pop Francis' comments interesting but also not surprising. We also discuss the bigger struggles of larger institutions as well. Keep it holy in the comments y'all!

No advisor was more important to King Henry VIII than Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He captured Henry's attention with his brilliance and became his most trusted confidant. But when the King wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon, not even the eloquent Wolsey could convince the Pope to agree. In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Wolsey's biographer Professor Glenn Richardson, about the man who was responsible for building Henry VIII's reputation as England's most impressive king but ended up being accused of treason.Keep up to date with everything early modern, from Henry VIII to the Sistine Chapel with our Tudor Tuesday newsletter: Subscribe here >:If you would like to learn more about history, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit >To download, go to Android > or Apple store > See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A late entry into the worst people ever compendium, Tomas de Torquemada, the first and greatest Grand Inquisitor of The Spanish Inquisition.  A man who began with a broad national mandate to root out heretics and insincere converses, and ended so loathed by everyone in Spain that he needed armed escorts wherever he went. A zealot so intransigent that the Pope tried to find a way to get rid of him.   This is the story of Torquemada and the beginnings and glory days of The Spanish Inquisition.  Our last episode on the Inquisition, and good riddance to it!

If you haven't heard who's responsible for today's show title, listen up.  Stigall imagines what today would be like if there'd been a President Hillary.  The lead attorney before SCOTUS fighting the OSHA/Biden shot mandate was Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.  He joins Stigall to discuss the legal specifics and what more needs to be done to make sure mandates and Democrats' “voting rights” schemes never see the light of day.  Did the Pope say it's you're moral obligation to take the shot?  What's that even mean?  The President of the National Catholic Bioethics Center – Joseph Meaney discusses this issue and what's behind sincere religious objections to the shot mandates.  Plus an inside look at Washington from Matt Boyle – Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart News Network.

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Missouri Mule IPA from Piney River Brewing Company in Bucyrus, MO. She explains the background as to how her feral cats Mencho, Chapo, and Cato came to live under her back porch. She named the kittens after Mexican drug lords since they were found as kittens tunneled under her air conditioning unit. “GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Whisps Tangy Ranch Cheese Crisps & Nuts, which she doesn't think tastes anything like Ranch flavoring. She moves on to taste Kraft Sandwich Spread, which she doesn't like and thinks that the pickle and tang in the spread is overpowering to any sandwich. Kathleen recommends mixing half Duke's Mayonnaise and half Miracle Whip when making deviled eggs or her holiday Midwest Rye Dip, which she will demonstrate to the Termites how to make for their Super Bowl parties. UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on the Capitol riot Q Shaman and Elizabeth Holmes' guilty verdict.MOCKING MATT DAMON: As Termites know, Kathleen is a rabid fan of cryptocurrency. She joins the online mocking of the latest crypto commercial featuring Matt Damon as he strolls down a minimalist hallway as visions of some of the world's greatest achievements appear on each side, and he compares feats such as climbing Everest with trading cryptocurrency. DON'T LOOK UP: Kathleen reviews the movie “Don't Look Up,” which she thought was fine but heavy-handed and not something that she would watch again. Apparently, others felt this way, as it is the first film to spoil Leonardo DiCaprio's “Fresh” record on Rotten Tomatoes. TACO BELL'S NEW PASS: Kathleen is THRILLED that her beloved Taco Bell has started a “Taco Pass” program for $10 a month, where lovers of The Bell can buy a pass on their mobile app to get 30 days of tacos at participating locations across the country.POPE FRANCIS ANIMALS VS KIDS: Kathleen muses over Pope “Frank's” latest decree that couples opting to raise pets over children is selfish and “takes away our humanity.” Kathleen responded on Twitter that maybe the Pope has just never had a beagle ;-)BETTY WHITE CHALLENGE: Kathleen is a huge fan of Betty White and her animal-related projects, and although she is sad to hear the news of Betty's passing, she is happy to promote a new initiative in honor of Betty. White's 100th birthday will be celebrated posthumously on January 17th with the Betty White Challenge, asking fans wishing to celebrate her life's work to donate $5 to animal rescues in her name. KFC'S NEW FRIED CHICKEN: Kathleen advises listeners that Kentucky Fried Chicken is launching a new plant-based chicken made with Beyond Meat, making it the first “meatless” fried chicken brought to mass market. TROY AIKMAN'S NEW BEER: Kathleen laughs reading a release announcing that former Dallas Cowboy Troy Aikman is releasing his new “Eight” beer to compete with low-calorie giants Michelob Ultra and Miller Lite. WILD BOAR CHARGES SURFER: Kathleen squeals reading an article outlining the unfortunate circumstances surrounding a surfer in Oahu who was charged in the water by a wild boar on the Northwest shore of the island. The surfer mistook the boar for a monk seal and fled the water as the aggression of the hog intensified. ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S FEMALE CAPTAIN: Kathleen is excited to read that a Navy sailor made history in December by becoming the first woman to lead a nuclear carrier on deployment. Captain Amy Bauernschmidt is the commanding officer of the USS Abraham Lincoln, and has also been awarded the title of “Determined Termite” by Kathleen.WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK: Kathleen recommends watching “1883,” and if you like the wild West theme move onto 5 seasons of “Hell On Wheels” if you're a streaming junkie like she is.

Questions Covered: 06:19 – In other religions, can there be miracles? What do we do with the stories of other so-called saints from other religions?  14:05 – Can you explain the process of how the church declares something infallible?  16:15 – I'm an immigrant and I've lived in the US for 19 years but I don't have legal status. What advice would you have for someone like me that wants to be a good Catholic and live a good life according to Christ's teaching?  20:00 – You mentioned the best dating for the birth of Christ being 2-3 BC. Where did you get this conclusion from? Why do you believe that is the best time period as opposed to a different time period?  28:55 – I'm not sure what to do about my husband receiving communion. When I met him, he said he was Catholic but when we did marriage classes, he told the deacon he had only been baptized and didn't receive his First Communion. I only recently found out about this so what should we do about this as he has been receiving the eucharist for 25 years now?  35:04 – How can I explain to someone that says a fetus is not an alive human? They made the argument that since you check for heart and brain activity to see if someone is dead, that would be the case for a fetus as well.  40:35 – If an orthodox church came back into communion with the church, what would they do about their canon? Would they have to get rid of it?  47:00 – Was dividing animals and walking through them ever part of the marriage covenant?  51:03 – To what extent can you disagree with the Church and the Pope before it goes too far?  Resources Mentioned: CA Focus episode – What Was the Star of Bethlehem? The Handbook of Biblical Chronology, by Jack Finegan From Abraham to Paul: A Biblical Chronology, by Andrew Steinmann …
