Will It Help Things?
This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss the idea that logic and philosophy are an essential part of what kids ought to be taught in school today. Are our problems REALLY stemming from the fact that no one was taught logic? Could a lesson in Thomistic philosophy really help overcome dysphoric teenagers? We think not. So what SHOULD be taught in school today?
In current events, mass killing in Nashville. Riots in France over retirement age. First 3D rocket fails. Tornadoes in Mississippi. Snow in Afghanistan. Putin positions nukes. Venezuela under corruption lens. Asteroid comes close to Earth. Train derailment in ND. Water and glass on the moon. Bishop Schnider complains about Latin Mass restrictions. House committee files reports. Wisconsin bishop sits on priest. Utah minor restriction on social media. Arkansas and Virginia restrict porn. Israel drops anti-Christian measures. Vatican goes dark. Billboards promote Latin Mass. Scottland's non-white First Minister. Trans-Day-Of-Vengence coming soon.
In the land of nonsense, wooly mammoth meatballs. Authors get ripped off. Angler fish meat.
Trivia Question: What was Jesus's new commandment?
