We start with a short discussion of our last show with Hugh Owen.  Boldly challenging long-held scientific beliefs, we dare to question the age of the Earth, the accuracy of radiocarbon dating, and the ideas behind mass extinction events. We take on an expedition through the ages, from the time of dinosaurs—yes, we delve into the theory of a young earth—to the era of traditional Catholic traditions with a lens focused on Ember days and St Martin's Lent.We also discuss a personal letter of support that Bishop Athanasius Schneider sent to Bishop Strickland in light of the possible upcoming persecution of Strickland from Rome.We conclude our enriching dialogue with a heartfelt discussion with Matthew Plese of the blog "A Catholic Life" on the essence of traditional Catholicism. We touch upon the importance of catechesis, fasting, and Ember Days. We share our personal experiences, talk about the impact of lost traditions on our understanding of faith, and offer tips on incorporating customs like St. Martin's Lent into our lives. Listen in as we navigate through the complexities of faith, science, and tradition in an episode that guarantees to leave you questioning, contemplating, and eager to discover more.https://acatholiclife.blogspot.com/https://acatholiclife.blogspot.com/2022/09/2023-traditional-catholic-fasting-and.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Guide-Catholic-Fasting-Abstinence/dp/B0BTRGJ1MR********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the showCheck out our new store!
