Summary

Finally, a courageous Catholic journalist willing to accurately describe the behavior of the world's bishops during the so-called pandemic. Phil Lawler is a 30-year veteran writer and editor with a long view of recent history, and he has written an outstanding book on the Covid scam from a Catholic perspective, Contagious Faith: Why the Church Must Spread Hope, Not Fear in a Pandemic.

If you have been angered or confused by the actions of Francis in Rome or your local Bishop regarding Covid-19, this will be an eye-opening conversation by an expert commentator on things Catholic and political.

In this Episode You Will Learn

The reasons why hope is a far more powerful motivator than fear
How the bishops colluded with the State in cutting off Catholics from worship and the sacraments
Examples of how the saints confronted actual deadly past pandemics
The conflicts that arise when a bishop imposes a law that is canonically unlawful or otherwise objectionable
How the anti-church protocols fly in the face of the US Constitution
The effects on Catholics when the sacraments are treated as optional or that watching Mass online is an acceptable substitute
How the Covid crisis has revealed a massive loss of faith among our leaders
How to keep and nurture your relationship with Christ despite weak or compromised episcopal actions
