The Reality of Things is a podcast for those seeking to learn more about the Catholic Faith through the lens of orthodoxy and tradition.
We Have Been Deceived
We have been deceived. Our politicians have deceived us yet once again. But they themselves have been deceived. The self-professed Christians pushing the war machine in Washington are trying to justify it Biblically… but they can’t. These false Christians are misleading because they have been mislead since 1517 when the Protestant revolution began to tear Christendom asunder. They are deceivers because they reject Christ and His Church. We discuss John Chapters 5 and 6 and also the Catholic Letter of James, Chapter 1.
