Yo, Pear Shorffins and Retrogrades, second day back from vacation.

And it's nice to be here in summertime.

The dog days of summer are upon us after the 4th of July.

Today's show for your dog dangling afternoon, as RJ Simpson calls it,

involves a recent tweet by Bishop Robert Barron.

And in this case, I will be attempting to defend Barron,

who came out with the wrong ultimate conclusion,

but whose intents were correct.

Bishop Barron tweeted about America and this sticky issue that all normies think they understand,

separation of church and state, establishments of religion.

He was attempting to do the best he could to state the Catholic truth,

which is some form of integralism.

We must have a state that is Christian friendly at the very least, but even Christian respecting and Christian establishing, Christianity

establishing at the very religion. And Bishop Barron, with utmost sincerity and attention to

what he takes to be the flaw in an article which critiqued him, he does the best he can, but he still suffers

from the same presupposition that everyone does. Here's what it is. And I want to take superchats

today from people who want to debate me. That's really what we're going to be using the super

chats for. If you think I'm wrong, then go for it. Early America, early America, 17th and

18th century America, first half of, sorry, 18th, 19th century America plus the first half of the 20th century

until 1947, required in the First Amendment of the Constitution, integralism, that state establishments of religion

may not be disestablished. That's what the First Amendment requires, required until 1947,

in which case it was not only overturned, it was reversed.
