    Catholic Apologist Accidentally Makes The Case for Secular Morality: Reacting to Brian Holdsworth

    In this episode, Colin and I react to Brian Holdsworth's video "I'm Not Strong Enough to Be an Atheist." We unpack his portrayal of atheism through John Lennon and Nietzsche, discuss whether morality really requires God, and examine where we think his arguments miss the mark. Along the way we talk about humanism, socialism, religion, objective morality, Catholic apologetics, and what life after faith actually looks like. If you've ever wondered whether atheism inevitably leads to nihilism—or whether that's a false choice—this conversation is for you. 00:00 Back for Another Episode 02:00 Two Kinds of Atheism Setup 08:36 Commons Dilemma and Human Nature 10:42 Socialism and Incentives Pushback 17:55 Nietzsche and Moral Foundations 21:56 Objective Morality Debate 27:45 Master Morality and Power 31:58 Young Men and Nietzsche’s Appeal 34:32 Christianity vs Power Structures 38:06 No True Catholicism 42:34 Atheism Without Heroes 47:24 ADA and Mutual Benefit 48:46 Where Is the Thesis 49:37 Crusades and Contradictions 50:36 Nietzsche Illness as Gotcha 54:49 Capitalism and Collective Care To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

    Atheists, Here's How to Treat Joe Schmid After He Reverted to Catholicism.

    Joe Schmid from  ⁨@MajestyofReason⁩ announced that he has returned to Catholicism. As an agnostic/atheist YouTuber who left catholicism, I’ve been thinking about how people should respond when someone leaves their religious or ideological group. In this video, I lay out my “Ten Commandments” for responding to someone whose beliefs have changed. Drawing from my own experience leaving Catholicism and coming out, I talk about listening before arguing, taking people’s stated reasons seriously, respecting their autonomy, avoiding tribal “wins” and “losses,” and remembering that a person is always more important than the culture war surrounding them. I’ll have plenty to say about Joe’s arguments for Catholicism in future videos. But before we debate his reasons, I think atheists, Catholics, and everyone else should remember how to treat the person making the decision. 00:00 Joe Schmid Converts 01:06 1: Keep the Person First 02:57 2: Accept Change 04:43 3: Listen Twice 06:17 4: Define Words 07:43 5: Trust Reasons 09:03 6: Limited Knowledge 10:33 7:Lead With Empathy 11:22 8: Respect Autonomy 12:43 9: Stay Connected 14:47 10: Process Privately 16:04 My Next Video To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

    Ex-Priest Psychologist: The Hidden Psychology After Coming Out as LGBT

    Coming out is often portrayed as the happy ending—but for many people, it's only the beginning. In this conversation with former Catholic priest and licensed therapist Danny Peterson, we explore why so many LGBTQ people who come out later in life feel like they're reliving adolescence as adults. We discuss religious trauma, dating, therapy, identity, relationships, extended adolescence, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and what happens after the excitement of coming out fades into ordinary life. We also talk about why relationships don't magically become easy, why many people search for gurus or simple answers after leaving religion, and how learning to tolerate uncertainty can become one of the healthiest parts of healing. 00:00 From Priest to Therapist 03:55 Extended Adolescence Explained 09:52 Healthy Coming Out Skills 13:13 Values and Red Flags 18:09 Sex vs Relationship First 20:59 Finding Mentors and Community 28:21 The Coming Out Paradox 33:38 ACT and Moving Forward 41:30 Facing Hard Truths 46:42 Ditching Gurus Dogma 53:40 Therapy Expectations Reality 57:41 Allyship Religion Safeguards 01:00:16 Finding A Therapist 01:04:15 Private Practice Wrap Up To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

    Why Anti-Gay Catholic Arguments Assume Everyone is Bisexual

    In this episode, Colin and I react to Brian Holdsworth's video asking whether "gay priests" are even a real thing. What starts as a discussion about labels quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about sexual orientation, Catholic theology, history, identity, and how the Church talks about same-sex attraction. We unpack the arguments, examine where we think the reasoning breaks down, and discuss why language matters when talking about real people. Along the way we dive into Pope Francis' comments on seminaries, the 2005 Vatican instruction on admitting men with same-sex attraction to the priesthood, ancient Greek sexuality, bisexuality, orientation, and why analogies don't always prove what people think they prove. 00:00 Pride Month Banter 01:06 Reacting to Brian Holdsworth 03:09 Pope Francis Quote Fallout 05:13 Ancient Rome Was Gay 08:20 Labels and Orientation Debate 13:54 Appetites and Identity Claim 17:49 Catholic Analogy Time 22:17 Cravings vs Human Love 25:04 Appetites Make You Gayer 31:55 Short Term Hookups Critique 35:46 Dehumanizing the Gay Label 38:15 Labels and Identity Sprawl 38:52 Paradox of Tolerance Rant 39:51 Honorary Gender Studies 40:38 Dodging the Priest Question 41:16 Chastity vs Gay Label 42:29 Church Policy Contradictions 44:29 Food and Gluttony Analogy 46:50 Spectrum and Ancient World 51:31 Frauds and Sacraments 55:10 Title Not Description Confusion 57:00 Trad Conspiracy Briefcase 01:00:02 Sponsor Break Real Estate 01:01:15 Why Labels Help Research 01:07:29 Why So Many Gay Priests 01:10:50 Growing Up Without Language 01:15:47 Landing the Plane Conclusion To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

    Hollywood Cinematographer Debunks "Miracle of the Sun" Photo | Our Lady of Fatima (re: Ethan Muse)

    A Catholic priest (Fr Philippe Dalleur) and youtuber (Ethan Muse) have argued that shadows in photographs taken at Fatima in 1917 provide scientific evidence for extraordinary sources of light in the sky. So I spent more than 100 hours investigating the claim, since my entire job revolves around working with cameras and lighting as a cinematographer. 00:00 - A "Miraculous" Photo? 01:03 - How the Science Should Work 02:32 - What Was Our Lady of Fatima? 03:34 - Series Overview (Skip This) 05:08 - Lenses Loose a Dimension 08:56 - Reason #1: Can't Really Calculate a Lost Dimension 11:27 - How to Actually Calibrate Lenses 14:14 - Reason #2: Vintage Lenses Make It Even Harder 16:17 - The Third Dimension 18:10 - Reason #3: They Didn't Validate Their Methods 19:13 - Reason #4: Shadows Can't Really Be Measured 22:13 - Example Optics of Similar Scene 22:52 - Preview of Part 2: Lies in Development This is a three part series.

    Inside the SSPX: Former Member Explains the ENTIRE History and Excommunication of the Society of Saint Pious the X

    The recent SSPX excommunications have left a lot of Catholics—and even journalists—trying to understand what actually happened. In this episode, I sit down with Hunter, a former SSPX traditionalist (and also former sedevacantist seminarian), to unpack the history behind the headlines. We explain Vatican II, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the founding of the SSPX, the 1988 episcopal consecrations, the creation of the FSSP, and why Pope Leo XIV's decision is different from previous popes. We also discuss how traditionalist movements understand authority, conscience, and obedience, and why this controversy has been building for decades rather than weeks. 00:00 SSPX Excommunication News 00:55 Hunter’s Trad Journey 03:31 What Happened In July in Econe, Switzerland 05:34 Nuclear Excommunication Explained 09:02 Vatican II Basics 12:06 Lefebvre and SSPX Origins 16:12 Spirit of Vatican II Debates 21:33 Key Doctrinal Flashpoints 27:28 Subsistit In Controversy 30:28 1974 Declaration and Breakaway 33:50 1983 Split and Sedevacantists 36:04 Obedience Paradox and Fallout 36:57 Bad Commands vs Doctrine 37:42 Sedevacantists Inside SSPX 41:15 1988 Bishops and Split 44:17 Valid vs Licit Sacraments 46:51 Obedience Paradox and Conscience 57:54 July Consecrations Fallout 01:03:24 Will SSPX Radicalize 01:07:09 Future of Trad Groups 01:09:49 Wrap Up and Thanks To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

    Why Do Catholic Influencers Excuse Right-Wing Catholics and Condemn Left-Wing Catholics?

    In this episode of Apostate Imprimatur, Colin and I react to Brian Holdsworth's video asking how to tell a "real" Catholic from a "fake" Catholic. What starts as a discussion about Catholic identity quickly turns into debates about language, gender, authority, and whether Catholic apologetics consistently apply their own standards. We discuss why so much Catholic YouTube feels like insider baseball, examine Brian's analogies about chairs, cars, and police officers, and argue that many conservative critiques of gender misunderstand what gender scholars are actually saying. Along the way, we talk about Catholic definitions, language change, trans identities, Church authority, and why some apologetic arguments seem persuasive only if you've never encountered the opposing viewpoint. 00:00 Episode Two Kickoff 01:20 Trad Cath Vibes and Profanity 02:33 Series Format and Feedback 05:12 Cue the Candace Owens Video 05:58 Catholic YouTube Insider Baseball 08:57 Cookie Break and Hot Takes 12:04 Who Counts as Catholic 13:21 Gender Detour What Is a Woman 23:33 Police Officer Analogy 30:00 Definitions Language and Power 34:18 Matter Form and Sacraments 38:11 Chair Example and Cake Chairs 38:58 What Counts as a Chair 39:19 Context Makes Words Work 40:19 Chairs and Trans Analogies 41:33 Form Matter and Sacraments 41:57 Car Parts and Functionality 44:35 Personhood Corpses and Souls 47:04 Uncanny Feelings Explained 49:42 Internal Bonds vs External Bonds 52:24 Defining Catholic Membership 57:06 Fake Catholic vs Not Catholic 01:03:56 SSPX and Legitimate Authority 01:10:29 Gender Debate and Word Games 01:17:10 Wrap Up and Next Video To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

    Why Conservative Christian Should Oppose Conversion Therapy - Pieter Valk (LPC)

    What if the conversation around Christianity and LGBT people is far more complicated than either side admits? In this episode, I sit down with therapist, author, and speaker Peter Valk (LPC) to explore one of the most difficult conversations happening in the Church today. We discuss conversion therapy, Side B Christianity, historic Christian sexual ethics, language surrounding sexuality and gender, why many churches struggle to talk about these topics well, and how pastors, parents, and Christians can approach these conversations with greater compassion and honesty. Whether you agree with Peter's conclusions or not, this conversation is about understanding the complexity behind the headlines and moving beyond culture-war talking points toward thoughtful dialogue. 00:00 Meet Peter Valk 03:49 Why This Should Matter for Both Sides 11:35 Labels and Language 14:56 Gender Terms Explained 17:40 Identity Label Debate 20:30 Pastors and Discomfort 23:08 Sacred Cows 25:57 Listening Without Fear 29:55 Coming Out Well 33:36 Respectful Questions 35:43 Resources to Learn 37:42 Practical Church Steps 42:14 Clear Welcome Messages 47:35 Conversion Therapy Warning 54:45 Long Term Support 58:01 Wrap Up and Where to Find To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.
