I like how SQPN is close to SQPR, the initials of the Roman Republic, seeing this is a “Roman” Catholic podcast. Just found these on the web and am enjoying you guys. Great work.
And on the USCCB letter, how would the ACLU react if a lawyer applied to there “fine” organization who didn’t believe in free speech? Could they discriminate against hiring him/her? I like what the ACLU stands for, equal rights for everyone, but gender identification? It’s like me thinking I need hair transplants because I don’t “identify” with bald men. Plus I want it to be covered in my insurance. #FallOfTheAmericanRepublic #CommonSenseIsDead #Hell_in_a_Handbasket
