Episode 30: So far as I can tell, cities all over the world, ever since cities have existed, have had no shortage of unfortunate mentally ill people wandering the streets. That activity exponentially increased in the United States during the 1960s and ‘70s.
Today they’re virtually all homeless and staying in tent communities. You see them everywhere you go in the cities. One big problem is that it’s getting increasingly difficult to tell the lunatics from the sane people, and I personally believe that a lot of the so-called sane ones are crazier than bed bugs.
Apparently there’s a street nut newsletter or something like that, because I’ve noticed that they have trends just like everybody else. Believe it or not, a trend among them is actually a wakeup call for Catholics. Tune in to find out what that is!
Resources In an effort to provide you with the best, most helpful experience we can, any resource mentioned in The Cantankerous Catholic podcast will always be listed in this section.
Three Days of Darkness I didn’t talk about the Three Days of Darkness in this episode, but you can hardly deal with eschatology without talking about it. I heartily recommend that all Sixpackers read about this. The Three Days of Darkness has been prophesied by many Catholic mystics in different parts of the world at different times, St. Padre Pio being one of them.
