In this episode recorded on Septuagesima Sunday, The Tombstone Four discuss the importance of the pre-Lenten phase, as well as the coincident Feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch. We then touch on the death of comedienne Catherine O’Hara, a confessing Catholic, and by all accounts a very nice lady, who sadly participated in the normalization of sodomy in the last phase of her career. Is “being a nice person” really enough to offset such horrific associations? We then discuss frankly the events in Minnesota, police actions in general, and the need for law enforcement and military ranks to be populated by exactly what’s so lacking in today’s post-Christian world: rough and ready men of extreme virtue. We conclude with thoughts on the 40th anniversary of NASA killing the Challenger astronauts – one of whom never should have been set atop a gigantic bomb in the first place.
