I look forward to my weekly steaming plate piled high with the latest emanations from the highest echelons of power. One thing we can say with absolute, 100% certainty, without a shadow of a doubt, is that this could and might be, potentially, in the opinion of some (such as myself on many if not most days, when it is not raining), one of the most unique, most interesting podcasts that may have ever been created, and with all due respect to Heisenberg, Sextus Epiricus, and other practitioners of the stochastic arts, of THAT that there can be no doubt, and that’s for sure. Seriously, it’s fun.

It’s hard to take John Allen seriously when he makes such a mockery of the Church by trying to be clever over genuinely prudent…I don’t find him moderate at all but rather indulgent of making light very serious matters..

You have gone from straight news reporting to spinning your liberal view of the Vatican news. Sad.

Hi we don’t get john but some philosophy geek

I’m an American parish worker and find this quick, weekly podcast very helpful for keeping up with the latest happenings while not getting bogged down in the heated conservative/liberal analysis. I appreciate the objective nature of the content as well as Allen’s seeming inability to be scandalized by the messiness in the Church. This is a podcast sorely needed right now!

Mr. Allen does a great job of reporting on the weekly news of the Vatican.
