Barnhardt Podcast

In this episode we discuss the glories of the 1570 (pre-1955) Holy Week Liturgies and curious timing of Bergoglio's latest comments on hell which came at the very time we contemplate Christ's conquest over sin and death: if there's no hell for unsaved souls, why did Christ do what He did? And if soul annihilation is a thing then humans have no more dignity than an animal -- which has massive logical and moral consequences (why not shoot up the YouTube HQ or a high school? the people there are just animals who need to be culled...) We also covered the recent revelations that child pornographers have exploited the BitCoin blockchain to share links to child pornography online and muse whether we'll have to stoop to similar tactics to share information about the Faith at some point in the future as the Truths of Christ and His Church become too revolutionary to speak aloud.

In this episode we discuss the recent Lettergate news and the myriad layers of indirection and redefinition of who said what.. which tends to happen when they don't believe all of that [solemn nonsense] in the Vatican. We also debate the relative merits of sticking your neck out for the Truth in a time of seemingly universal deception and the critical questions of "Are the Germans always right?" and "Was Anakin Skywalker's birth legend" a blaspheme against the Immaculate Conception or are we getting so far off topic we need to be beamed up now?

In this episode Ann reveals that rumors of her coughing fits have not been exaggerated, and regardless of the amount of cowbell the fever took a few days to pass. However, she's on the mend and there will be a full podcast later this week. And SuperNerd reveals he takes sufficiently cryptic notes for a podcast that he almost forgot what he was writing to himself. And we'll be back with a full episode soon!

In this episode we plumb the depths of the darkness of the human soul, from soliciting sin in the confessional to shooting defenseless children to refusing to rush to the defense of those children when it's your solemnly sworn job to do so. Ultimately, if we do not subject ourselves to the natural and Divine positive law we will be subjected by force under the boot of a diabolically inspired human tyrant. We cannot let our light shine forth to others until we kindle and feed the fire of Divine charity in our own souls first.

In this episode we discuss Lenten fasting and Catholic Legalisms, what to expect (and ask) when you're considering going Byzantine, as well as the proper protocol for a valid confession -- because, eternity. Some more resources and recommendations for Lenten reading and listening were discussed and SuperNerd eats some humble pie regarding citing scripture and says something about an IBO which will be a topic for the podcast in eight weeks or so.

In this episode we discuss the ongoing sellout of Chinese Catholics by those in power in Rome, the case of Bishop Juan Barros' promotion by Bergoglio when both Chilean and CDF (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) authorities had significant evidence of Barros's crimes against nature, and why it's good to pray for those didn't die a holy death (because prayers are never wasted in the Divine Economy).

In this episode we discuss the antics and power politics in play between Rome and the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association (CPCA)**, especially the significance of the current Roman Bishop in White ordering a duly-appointed Bishop in China to step down in favor of an excommunicated, schismatic member of the CPCA. As long as a given tactic of Satan works he will continue to use it, and the “divide and conquer” tactic is one that has worked all too well throughout human history. We also discuss how “Divide et Impera” has played out in the Church Militant from Apostolic times through the current day, with an emphasis on the formation and early history of the Society of Saint Pius X and what is currently known as Traditional Catholicism. **Yes, SuperNerd got the name of the ersatz Catholic Church in China wrong twice… and he’s chagrined and embarrassed about that.

In this episode we discuss the recent revelations that Twitter actively engages in shadow-banning of conservative and "redneck" content, both through machine learning and manual intervention, as well as Twitter employees reading the "private" messages and content of users of the service. Additionally we question whether these social media platforms are even needed for conservative writers or if they are counter-productive sources of interruptions where the trolls and "pig wrestlers" love nothing more than to mix it up and get people annoyed. We also talked about social media as a vector for precipitating a Black Swan event -- hacking the right twitter account and posting fake news could cause more real-world effect than an accidental ballistic missile warning!

In this episode we discuss fasting — though we do abstain from bringing it up for almost half an hour while we cover some news concerning cyptocurrency, “latrine-crater” countries, the legally expedient reason why Hillary Clinton’s concubine is staying legally married to Anthony Wiener (and why he needs to fear for his life). And then we covered fasting and how it is MASSIVELY beneficial to both the body and the soul, as well as how fasting can apply to all appetites, not just food. And at some point SuperNerd gets loose with his Biblical proof about lightsabers too. Links and reading: South Korea threatens to ban cryptocurrency (you won’t believe what happens next!)

In this first episode of the new year we whittled down the original list of eleven topics and ended up with: Dow 25,000 and other Wall Street fictions; Steve Bannon doesn't like Trump, his kids, or anyone else apparently; North Korea could set off a continental war with their rocketry hobby (with a generous side-bar on the Persian empire past and future); and if you're reading this your computer has vulnerable hardware. Oh -- and narcissists, narcissists everywhere!
