[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discuss priestly celibacy and how it has been present in the Church since the Last Supper and why it is so essential theologically. We discussed the fifty dollar word “hebdomadary” and confirmed that it’s doesn’t have anything do with Jewish camels.

Act of Resignation to Divine Providence
“O Lord, my God, from this moment do I accept from Thy hands, with a quiet and trusting heart, whatsoever death Thou shalt chose to send me, with all of its pains and griefs.”

Barnhardt Podcast #084: I Just Feel Like It’s LITERALLY Voicial

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discuss the highly annoying habit of people who preface their statements with “I feel,” as though there’s any relation between facts and feelings. We also re-explore the need for a personal relationship with Christ how the proper reading material, such as Thomas a Kempis’ “Imitation of Christ” is helpful, as is LITERALLY imitating Christ by requesting the punishment due to others so that they might be saved. We also pay homage to the Queen of Queens as the recording date is the traditional feast of the Queenship of Mary.

Barnhardt Podcast #083: WhatsApp with Immodesty. Period. 🙂

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discuss the recent technical vulnerability of WhatsApp in particular and societal vulnerabilities of social media in general. One of the faults encouraged by social media is immodesty, not only in terms of apparel but also in the loss of decorum and social graces in general. And emojis.

Barnhardt Podcast #082: Mendacious Brownies


[Direct link to the MP3 file]

Mild Language Alert!

In this episode we discuss escapism, manfulness, fear, courage and virtue — all as tangents prior to talking about the main topic which is the rise in marijuana use in the United States. Not only are more states decriminalizing The Weed but the strains of The Herb are far, far higher in THC content than the ganja of previous generations leading to a host of new psychoses and social issues, to say nothing of the spiritual costs consuming the hippie lettuce.

And some people did something in Sri Lanka and Creepy Uncle Joe is back… and we also answer a couple listener questions (without up-talking!).

Barnhardt Podcast #080: A Lament for Notre Dame

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discuss the fire at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris and how this event is not only the loss of a magnificent artistic and cultural achievement but is oddly symbolic: the destruction of a church from within… from the top. Over a billion dollars have been pledged to rebuild the cathedral, but in a new way, with new materials, representing the “New France” — and the “new Church.” A melancholy episode during the week when we meditate on the passion of Christ and His Church.

Barnhardt Podcast #079: The Episode with No Name

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discussed some listener questions — and then took off on wild tangents until we ran out of time! Topics covered include: vegetarianism, Carmelites and red meat, the nutritional cravings of cows and human women, the qualification process to become a hermit, an update on Ann’s kombucha habit, and an extended discussion on popular music, Sacred music, and opera.

Barnhardt Podcast #078: Flying Fur and Fists of Fury

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discuss details and aspects of the Armed Aussie who assaulted two Mosques in New Zealand, reprising the theme that fighting back against an attacker is the best way to survive (even if an edged weapon is all you’ve got in a gunfight). We also talk about Barbara Streisand’s defense of pedophilia; even though she’s walking it back in the media it’s possible her first statement was her true outlook on the matter.

Barnhardt Podcast #077: Kompromised Kangaroo Konspiracy

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode we discuss the story of Natasha Jaitt, the “very odd” circumstances surrounding her death, and her connections with Gustavo Vera — who is VERY close with the Junior Bishop in White (Bergoglio). Also: was Cardinal Pell completely innocent or just guilty of something else and burned for financial-political reasons? The intrigue is downright Roman… even if Kangaroo Kourts are involved.

Barnhardt Podcast #076: Naval Gazing

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

Independence Class LCSIn this episode SuperNerd recounts the trip to San Diego he and his wife took recently, with particular emphasis on San Diego’s connections to the events of September 11, 2001, and lots of commentary stemming from getting a chance to tour an Independence-class LCS (Littoral Combat Ship). And as usual, many tangents developed. Finally we concluded with some thoughts and recommendations for Lent (like putting your phone in airplane mode for 55 minutes of every hours — the reduced distractions are amazing!).
