Episode 5: A Crisis of Perceived Corruption and Public Trust

In the concluding episode of ‘Bad Samaritans,’ we look ahead to a possible Harris administration and the prospect of mass amnesty. During his term, Biden made it clear that he considers amnesty a foregone conclusion and a mere formality. Many Americans now suspect that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other Democrats are pursuing a deliberate strategy of mass illegal immigration and amnesty – without seriously trying to break this cycle – for corrupt reasons of partisan advantage.

Episode 4: A Crisis of Fraud and Perjury

The hardest truth about the border crisis? It is very largely a crisis of fraud and perjury, being perpetrated by those who would not qualify for asylum under US law if they told the truth about their personal history and motives for migration. This episode examines how false asylum claims are destroying the U.S. asylum system – and preventing refugees who truly need help from getting here.

Join us as we examine how the current chaos at the southern US border is not simply bad for this country and its citizens. It is also damaging to “the universal good of the entire human family.”

Episode 1: A Crisis of Patriotism

Today’s episode opens with John Paul II’s resounding call to Christians to love their homeland… and examines how the Biden-Harris administration has failed in its patriotic duty to do so. Having sworn to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed” according to the Constitution, Biden and Harris presided over a hemorrhaging southern border where millions of people – from all over the world – are crossing with impunity.

Faithful Catholic writers have been sounding the alarm about an LGBT push to undermine the Church’s teachings from within. CatholicVote’s Catholic Accountability Project decided to investigate those concerns.

What follows is the result of our deep dive into one culprit – an organization named “New Ways Ministry.” What the investigation uncovered is nothing short of a far-reaching, decades-long plan to help a secular movement lay siege to Catholic teachings on sex, the family, and marriage.

After three years of dealing with overreaching government restrictions, what can Church leaders and Americans draw from this experience?

In this episode we dive into one of the most contentious Covid-19 issues – vaccines and vaccine mandates. Who required them? Who allowed for religious exemptions? What does ongoing confusion mean for the future?

We look at how Church guidance on mandates was interpreted differently by various US bishops and orthodox Catholic thinkers, and explore why many of the disagreements still remain unresolved today.
