Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

How was your weekend?

Mine was a tad bit stressful.

You see, there was a riot less than a mile away from my home.

The banks were set on fire.

The grocery store was looted.

There were police out in riot gear, tear gas, pepper spray, helicopter circling overhead.

It was kind of chaos and pandemonium.

And you might have experienced some of this chaos yourself if you live in a major city.

You might have even been placed under curfew.

At the very least, I'm sure you heard about this on the news and how all of this can be

traced back to the death of George Floyd on May 25th and Minneapolis.

So that's all I want to talk about today here on the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

And before we get deeper into the subject of our podcast today, I want to give a big thanks
