Summary

Today, we're sitting down with our friend Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire to talk about all things Catholicism. He explains the current papal conclave and the process to elect a new pope, and he breaks down the most likely candidates for the position. We also talk about the controversy online surrounding the recent post by President Trump of an AI-generated image of himself as the pope. True to form, the Left just couldn't resist being hypocrites about it. And we discuss a recent state law that would require Catholic priests to break the sacrament of confession and what this means for the church.
