About this episode

The episode discusses recent events including assassination attempts, episcopal consecrations, and historical insights related to the Papacy and Chernobyl.

In this Episode, the Tombstone Four reunite at The Everything’s Not OK Corral for the first time since Holy Week to try to parse events- and a LOT has happened, including a third assassination attempt (should that be in scare quotes?) that once again couldn’t seem to outlast the 36 hour news cycle. The witch in drag getting the red-carpet treatment in occupied Rome and how it relates to the upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations is discussed, and Dr. Mazza lends fascinating historical insight into the investiture of bishops not historically being the exclusive domain of the Papacy, which is good to know considering that there is no living Pope, and no one seems the least bit interested in doing anything about it. Finally, don’t miss Ann’s digression on Chernobyl and the near-total extermination of “serious men” from the Post-Christian West. We’re the physicists screaming that the Core is split open, while Trad Inc keeps repeating, “3.6 Roentgen; not great, not terrible. I’ve seen worse.” (If you haven’t watched the Chernobyl miniseries from a few years ago, you should. It is some of the best TV content ever produced.)…
