This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the upcoming Synod on Synodality--truly one of the most idiotic and embarrassing synods in Pope Francis's long gaff-rich reign. The Vatican recently gave us several documents preparing for this synod, and Eric and Dan go through them, pointing out the lack of substance, and the hypocrisy on full display as Pope Francis ridicules and stifles the traditional movement within the church.

In current events, Pope Francis talks about his dialog with China. The Taliban holds parades. A Syrian oil spill pollutes the Mediterranean Sea. 50 guilty pleas from patriots. Protests in Greece over vaccine laws. Patrick Coffin's site in almost unreachable. Flash floods cause death in US. Diamond mine toxic leak in Congo. McCarrick pleads not guilty. Heavy floods in Mexico kill people in hospital. German government asks Russia not to phish. Jason Miller is arrested in Brazil and let go.

From the Land of Nonsense, woman puts coffee in ear. Does bird seed grow birds? Heron eats rat. Toots should not be held in.
