Episode Details

In this episode, I examine the Pope’s decision to remove a Traditional Latin Mass priest after the use of a homophobic slur, and what this action reveals about church discipline and its public optics—especially when contrasted with the lack of discipline for cardinals who promote doctrinal errors. I then analyze a letter circulated at the extraordinary consistory that sharply criticizes the Latin Mass, raising further questions about the direction of liturgical policy in the Church. Finally, I address a disturbing case of a man who claims he will not receive Communion from non-white priests, and what this reveals about racism, sacramental theology, and Catholic teaching.
