Great news! I just heard the pre- announcement and I was hopeful and now. I am very excited this is one of my favorite podcasts. Congratulations! Catholic family!

So who won?
I’m going to check out the Catholic Family podcast. It sounds fun. I wish my kids were a little older so they could listen to the Catholic Kids podcast–they’re too young to get anything out of it just yet.
Hi Fr. Roderick
I always enjoy your show and I think you have great quality. But when you started to put the though of the day in a specific time, you loose quality.
I understand you want to have the show into 30″ which I think is great (I hardly have more time than that to hear it) but do you really need to loose quality to make it? I mind, don’t you have another method to reach the same goal without putting that beautiful jingle in the background in a certain time while you are talking about something completely different?
I really hope you can find a way to avoid the sensation that at the end of the show there is usually a chaos, some feeling that you loose control.
I’m listening your show since the first one and I always enjoy it a lot.
Keep with the good work and God bless
The discussion about scapegoats made me think of Sin Eaters – beggars or outcasts who would “take” a deceased person’s sins on themselves in exchange for money or food:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin_eater
I learned about this originally from Francine River’s novel about the topic, which has been made into a movie:

It was a good book – I hope it’s a good movie, too.
Hello Fr. Roderick,
Interesting show, especially the last segment on the “scapegoat” mechanism. Indeed [spoiler] was used as a scapegoat, but the parallel you made to Saddam Hussein is not quite justified. He was a ruthless dictator as opposed to the character [spoiler], who [spoiler]. So I believe the outcome of both trials was the right one (even though one is completely fictional).
Love your show, keep up the good work and God bless!
I want to comment a voice feedback about Dr Who. I have never seen Dr Who. But I was a little irritaded by what the man who talked about how Dr Who has become darker and less children friendly said.
He implied that having a bisexual character was less appropiate for a children show than having a, I guess, heterosexual character. Why is that? Is having bisexual characters to sexualize the show more than having heterosexual characters? Or is it so, that all Dr Who characters in the past have been explicit asexual? Like I said, I have never watched Dr Who.
And he implied that bisexuality is “perversions”. Is it really? Why is that? In nature there are lots of examples of what he surely would call “sexual perversions”, like homo- and bisexuality. It’s just us humans who have with the Church’s help found it “improper” for a man to have sex with both men and women or only men, or for a woman to have sex with both women and men or just women.
I would think much higher of the Dr Who show now when they dare to show a bisexual character than if they hadn’t dared.
@ Johan:
Sorry, but you know that you are on a Catholic site? It’s quite strange that you do not understand… You are listening to a catholic podcast, you are on a catholic website.

Catholic life is not about “having sex” with someone…
Catholic Family Podcast!!!!
It’s HECK-of-about-time SQPN!!!
YOU GO CatholicFamily!!! BUT They should have done this long a go! love you more then that ‘other show’ anyway!
I guess they missed all the episodes of Doctor who, past and present, where the Doctor sacrifices himself to save other people. Or about the pro-life content in “New Earth” last season. They’re free to not watch. I think it’s one of the best shows on.
