Beware, The Two Churches
Are you ready for a ride? This episode achieves the impossible, bringing you segment-by-segment, from something Fun, to something heavy, to something deep.
News and nonsense pulled apart in the return of this fan-favorite news segment, "The Pulse"
Moral Theologian Father Peter Dugandzic joins me to talk about President Biden's opposition to the Truth and the Church's teaching on IVF (In vitro fertilization). What is the Church's teaching, and why? And can we finally call Biden a heretic now?
Then we analyze the dichotomy of two churches—the True Church, and the False Church. The problems aren't just modernists or Sedevacantists. Even within the borders of the proper Church there are good people in the "wrong church"
