Podcast Ep. 170: Cardinal Pell is Coming Home

In our latest podcast, Jessica and I discussed the past week in politics and atheism. (We also have a new Patreon page!)

We discussed:

— Cardinal George Pell just became the highest-ranking Vatican official charged with sex abuse.

— Sarah Huckabee Sanders‘ irrational godly defense of Donald Trump’s misogyny.

— The Christian who vandalized the new Ten Commandments monument outside the Arkansas Capitol building.

— Judge Sonia Sotomayor‘s eloquent dissent in the Trinity Lutheran case.

— How the Christian harassing an atheist lawyer defended himself by saying he’s “man enough” to stand behind his hateful words.

— Whether hooking up really happens less often on Catholic campuses and what that really means.

— How the people buying products from Infowars and Goop are all irrational.

— The House Republicans’ plan to use a budget bill to repeal the Johnson Amendment.

— How Canadians would rather see an atheist Prime Minister than an Evangelical one.

— There are no longer any openly atheist elected officials in the Republican Party.

— Upcoming talks, including one outside Ark Encounter.
