Episode 16: Based on what I’ve said in previous episodes, some listeners have responded a little indignantly: “Joe, you claim we should just mindlessly obey the Catholic Church. What in the world makes you think the Church has any authority to tell us what to do?”
That’s a really good question. I sometimes forget that most Catholics don’t understand the Church’s authority. They’ve been told all their lives that they’re supposed to obey the Church, but no one has ever explained to them why they’re obligated to obey.
Tune in to this episode to finally have it explained to you why obedience to the Church is so important.
The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media Group https://www.mumblit.com/cantankerouscatholicgroup (Join) our group where subscribers of The Cantankerous Catholic can meet to discuss the issues talked about in episodes, get opinions from other like minded people, or simply discuss anything effecting Catholics.
Don’t like or trust Facebook? No problem!
Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy doesn’t trust Facebook either. There have been too many instances of censorship on Facebook. If you promote abortion, LGBT issues, or anything anti-patriotic, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be unmolested by Facebook. But if you promote life, decency or morality, Facebook is subject to censor your posts, take down your page, or otherwise use some underhanded method to censor you.
Mumblit.com We’ve found an alternative to Facebook. It’s a new social media site called https://www.mumblit.com/cantankerouscatholicgroup (Mumblit.com). This is the one social media that doesn’t censor you for upholding Catholic values and morals. You’re completely free to discuss and promote anything you want, just as long as it isn’t immoral, indecent, or anti-American. https://www.mumblit.com/cantankerouscatholicgroup (Mumblit.com) has never molested us in any way, and they guarantee they won’t. The site otherwise works identically to Facebook. That is the reason Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy chose to host https://www.mumblit.com/cantankerouscatholicgroup (The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media Group) there. We have the added benefit and protection of being a private group. So https://www.mumblit.com/cantankerouscatholicgroup (join the group) now to meet other like minded Catholics.
Not a Catholic? We’d still love to have you join us. You’ll find that we’re a very welcoming people. (Matthew [25:35])
