Episode Synopsis
Friend of the show, F. Thomas Doyle, joins us to talk about the Papal conclave and how the assemblage of cardinals is made up of people who have aided in the ongoing conspiracy to hide the extent of child abuse world wide.
Doyle debunks the pageantry of the ceremonial appointment of a new Pope, gives credit to those doing good works in the church, and he reinforces where we should be paying attention.
