This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss some important questions, and give brutally honest answers. How dire is our situation--culturally, politically, and spiritually? How did we get to this point, where Catholics are afraid to be Catholic? And what's more important, what's our next step? How do we put a stop to this madness? As always, the answer lies in prayer, fasting, and the sacraments.
