Episode 44:The economy is the best it’s been in fifty years. Unemployment among women and all minorities is the lowest in recorded history. The stock market seems to hit new record highs on a regular basis. Technology is advancing at an almost exponential rate. In fact, much of today’s technology was considered science fiction a mere decade ago, and none of it could even be imaged fifty years ago.All of these things are advancements that benefit us, yet as a society we stay in a perpetual state of regression.

No problem!Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy doesn’t trust Facebook either. There have been too many instances of censorship on Facebook. If you promote abortion, LGBT issues, or anything anti-patriotic, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be unmolested by Facebook. But if you promote life, decency or morality, Facebook is subject to censor your posts, take down your page, or otherwise use some underhanded method to censor you.Mumblit.comWe’ve found an alternative to Facebook. It’s a new social media site called Mumblit.com. This is the one social media that doesn’t censor you for upholding Catholic values and morals. You’re completely free to discuss and promote anything you want, just as long as it isn’t immoral, indecent, or anti-American. Mumblit.com has never molested us in any way, and they guarantee they won’t. The site otherwise works identically to Facebook. That is the reason Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy chose to host The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media Group there. We have the added benefit and protection of being a private group. So join the group now to meet other like minded Catholics.Not a Catholic? We’d still love to have you join us. You’ll find that we’re a very welcoming people.
