Weekly News Roundup November 21, 2023

This week’s stories include:

(1) Francis Is Turning the Church into Anglicanism from within by Actions.

We use two recent stories–the Church’s participation in an ecumenical congress with Buddhists in which Budha and Christ are both called “Great Healers” and Francis inviting a group of trans-gender prostitutes to lunch.

(2) A new anti-Socialist President in Argentina.

We give our reactions to the election of Javier Milei. Although this libertarian’s election looks like good news for the unborn and for the victims of Socialist economic destruction, we consider some of the more troubling of his positions.

(3) One World Woke Religion Forces High School Basketball Player and Hairdresser to Conform

We consider two cases of Woke persecution: a high school student tricked into worshiping Hindu gods and a hairdresser charged for mean tweets about trans people.

(4) The Decline of the Catholic School System

Recent statistics confirm the decline of the once great Catholic school system. More students are homeschooled now then enrolled in diocesan schools!

We also introduce our new Acting Managing Editor, Murray Rundus, who joins the show for the first time.

You can also listen to an audio only podcast.
