    Ep. 5 - How Do We Want to Die?

    Ep. 5 - How Do We Want to Die?

    In this episode, the Catholic and the Heathen cover end of life care and decisions. This is what happens when you get a couple of estate planning lawyers together... We talk about death, of course. 

    More importantly, we talk about the reasons that your healthcare power of attorney is one of the most estate planning documents you can have. We also talk about the living will and how it can conflict with your healthcare power of attorney. 

    And, unsurprisingly, we get into the Catholic faith, some Canon Law, and the rules around end of life care. 

    I'd tell you to enjoy but that could feel like a kind of sick joke. Instead, I hope you listen and learn a thing or two...

    Ep. 4 - The Safe-T purge of what?!?!?!?

    Ep. 4 - The Safe-T purge of what?!?!?!?

    This episode is all about Illinois HB3653, known as the Safe-T Act. It stands for ‘Safety, Accountability, Fairness, and Equity-Today’ and we discuss, in depth, how this act really does not do much to keep the citizens of Illinois very safe, how it creates problems for our State's Attorneys, and the use of recognizance bonds for felonies.

    The following 12 offenses, as of January 1, 2023, will be eligible for recognizance bonds:
    second-degree murderarsondrug-induced homiciderobberykidnappingaggravated batteryburglaryintimidationaggravated driving under the influencefleeing and eludingdrug offenses, and threatening a public officialI would love to say that this was a parody episode... but it truly is not.

    Ep. 3 - Honor Thy Wife... But How?

    Ep. 3 - Honor Thy Wife... But How?

    In this episode the Catholic and the Heathen tackle the not-so-challenging role of the Catholic husband in marriage. We try to answer the question: how can you be a traditional Catholic and still honor your wife?

    The question comes up because there exists an argument that traditional Catholic values and scripture only serve to oppress women and subjugate wives. Unsurprisingly, the Heathen calls BS on that one and the Catholic gives his views on the roles that men and women fulfill within a marriage.

    Ep. 2 - What is A Weapon of War?

    Ep. 2 - What is A Weapon of War?

    In this episode the Catholic and the Heathen talk about what constitutes a "weapon of war" along with why the AR-15 really shouldn't be considered one. Actually, the Heathen rants for a good long while about logical fallacies, specifically the appeal to authority, and a retired Major General  who just gets it wrong. Basically, there's another article that just couldn't be left alone and we cover it here, tonight.

    Sit back and enjoy some unhinged rants along with a small bit of logical discussion...
