• Kiss Them Goodbye!
    Mar 15 2023
    Episode 220

    There are 19-23 bishops that will begin a process this year to close anywhere from 60% to 90% of the parishes in their dioceses, so you can kiss these parishes goodbye. The guest on this week’s episode is a lawyer in an archdiocese who’s actively fighting these tyrannical episcopal processes now. You really need to hear this because this tyranny will be visiting you soon.

    Feb 15 2023
    Episode 216

    This episode is a tribute to President Ronald Reagan for what would have been his 112th birthday. I strongly urge you to listen to what a real president sounds like.

    This episode is all Reagan. This week we won’t have The Sacred Heart Wins! with Bishop Strickland, the Catholic Bootcamp, Catholic Quotes, or a Catholic Story. Since more than 60% of you Sixpack Warriors are under forty, you really need to hear this. For you older Sixpack Warriors, you’ll really enjoy this walk down memory lane with Dutch Reagan.
