This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss a recent leaked video where women (mostly women) from the abortion industry discuss the barbaric aspects of abortion, openly and unapologetically, in a way that literally makes our stomachs church.  Would we feel the same way if these sorts of evil things were being spoken by men?  Is evil itself a more intrinsic part of men or women?  And once someone has gone to 'the dark side', are men or women more likely to give themselves over completely to evil?

In current events, Volleyball in Nebraska.  Proud Boys leaders get sentences, as do pro-life rescuers.  The Philippines impose rice caps.  Hong Kong evacuated.  Pope Francis in Mongolia.  Russia has ICBMs ready and waiting.  India studying the sun.  Burning Man floods.  France bans vaping.  Japan embraces US Military.  Trump is liable… again.  Mexico decriminalizes abortion.  Chinese dinosaur bird discovered.  Berlin AB blesses gays.  McCarrick given a pass.  Schools busted for transitioning kids behind parents backs.  Wildfires over reported.  Gays advised not to travel in America.  Canadian café owner acquitted.  PornHub being sued.  DeSantis refuses federal money.  Josh Alexander wins.  Oklahoma hires perv for principal.  WHO and FDA prep for COVID.  AB gives communion to Muslim.

In the land of nonsense, China's great path.  Mississippi alligator.  Bull gets traffic ticket.  Chicago reporter robbed while reporting crime.

Trivia Question: How man coins did the woman have?
