The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.31 airing Sunday, July 24,2022 featuring Secular Rarity, Phoebe Rose, and Richard Gilliver.I got to tell ya. It’s a God Eat God World Out There. This week we got Secular Rarity leading a mostly British panel in Phoebe Rose and Richard Gilliver. Will They force poor Secular Rarity into appreciating tea and using nothing but metric, or is SR going to throw his own Boston Tea Party? Nah, likely they are going to have an amazing discussion over this weeks topics. Let’s get in it.First up, POPE WATCH! If it is one thing the Vatican doesn’t like it’s gays. No wait, If it is one thing the Vatican doesn’t like it’s people having the right to choose. Sorry, let me try this again. If it is one thing the Vatican doesn’t it’s competition! Seems like the German Catholic movement is getting a little too progressive for Pope Francis’ liking. So they are trying to pump the brakes on them.While we are on the topic of a movement not wanting to follow lock step, down there in Florida…. Hold on, please tell me this ISN’T a Florida Man story. Well kinda. Unlike our friends over there in Germany seems like Florida churches want to break away because Methodists are too progressive for them. In the land of sun, alligators, and god it seems like messages of love and inclusion want to fall on deaf and likely sun burnt ears.Up next, can we get some victim blaming up in here? Texas floated a proposal to change the teachings of slavery. They thought it would reduce their guilt of they changed the term to “involuntary relocation”. Yes, changing the language of horrible history allows you to ignore the past. Then while you are doing that, maybe you can repeat it! No? They don’t think that is what is going to happen? Really, well what would be stopping them then? This one does have a happy ending, but we should all be on alert because I won’t be surprised if we hear this story again.Finally, Verizon takes a Step in the Right Direction by removing One America “News” Network from their services. Verizon was the last network to do so, and we look into the actual motives of this move. Will they find a new home in the vast wasteland that is the Internet? Anything is possible I guess. For right now let’s take solace in hate losing a platform and keep fighting for love to find away!That wraps it up for this week.Segment 1: Pope Watch: Vatican puts brakes on progressive German Catholic movement https://bit.ly/3POUcHhEuronews, By Reuters, 22 July, 2022Vatican warning: Germany's ‘Synodal Way’ poses ‘threat to the unity of the Church’https://bit.ly/3vsktDcVatican slams German reformers, warns of potential for schismhttps://bit.ly/3JlHZYqSegment 2: More than 100 Florida churches file lawsuit to leave United Methodist Church https://bit.ly/3zTKFJLNew denomination urges United Methodists to walk out of the wilderness https://bit.ly/3zky4gXSegment 3: Texas education officials proposed changing "slavery" to "involuntary relocation" when teaching second gradershttps://cbsn.ws/3oInH1EState education board members push back on proposal to use “involuntary relocation” to describe slaveryhttps://bit.ly/3OR8m9AOpinion: Texas Could Change Enslavement To ‘Involuntary Relocation’ But The Truth Remains The Same, It’s Still Enslavement https://bit.ly/3cMZ9BPSegment 4: SITRD: Far-Right Channel One America News Officially Dropped by Last Major TV Carrierhttps://bit.ly/3OOd5JbTruth Social's refusal to use Amazon servers added to tech troubles and huge waiting list at launch, report says https://bit.ly/3JhP4sJDon't like ads?
