We hit “end stream” by accident, recover on the fly, and end up exactly where our audience likes us most: the messy intersection of Catholic media, online tribalism, and the money that quietly shapes it all. If you’ve ever wondered why some Catholic platforms feel like they appear overnight and disappear just as fast, we walk through the incentives and the mistakes that make that outcome predictable.
From there, we give the full story of why we refused to join Pelican Plus. We talk through the pitch meeting, the investor math, the promised salaries, the equity and control split, and the biggest structural problem: pushing creators behind a paywall while starving the public channels that actually drive growth. We also get into why “all Catholic app” marketing can be misleading if the tech, overhead, and incentives are not transparent, and why you should never hand over an audience you spent years building.
We zoom out into the Catholic creator economy: why the outrage fueled model worked during the height of controversy, why it’s fading, and what actually has a future. We share ideas for evangelization content that can break out of the echo chamber, and we’re honest about the practical side too: day jobs, pensions, health insurance, and why most creators should treat content as a serious side gig unless the fundamentals are rock solid. Subscribe, share this with a friend who follows Catholic media, and leave a review with your take: what’s the biggest red flag you look for before you trust a new platform?
The Karmelo Anthony verdict is in, the Henry Nowak bodycam case has rocked the UK, and Belfast is burning — and across all three, one question keeps surfacing: is the law applied equally anymore? Tonight, Avoiding Babylon breaks down the verdict in the Austin Metcalf killing, the police handcuffing of a dying Henry Nowak, and the escalating unrest in Belfast, examining the two-tier justice system that seems to treat people differently depending on who they are.
We'll look at these three cases through a Catholic lens — not as isolated headlines, but as symptoms of a civilization that has abandoned equal justice and the moral order beneath it. This is about institutional accountability, media silence, and the collapse of the West, viewed from a higher vantage.

When evangelical leader Charlie Kirk declared "the antidote to feminism is our Lady," Catholics across social media took notice. His surprising admission that "we as Protestants and Evangelicals under-venerate Mary" has sparked intense conversation about whether the prominent conservative commentator might be on a path toward Rome.
The statement represents a significant theological shift for Kirk, who went on to praise Mary as "a phenomenal example and a counter to so much of the toxicity of feminism in the modern era." While careful not to overstate what's happening, we examine this moment through a Catholic lens, exploring how devotion to Mary has historically led many Protestant thinkers toward Catholic teaching. Reports that Kirk has been attending weekday Mass with his wife add an intriguing dimension to the discussion.
We also revisit Michael Knowles' earlier conversation with Kirk about Catholicism, analyzing the challenges of interfaith dialogue when trying to balance ...
