Because the audience clearly can't get enough democracy content, Ben, Adam, and Jonny reunite to pick up the conversation where they left off in Episode 62. This time they ask the question 'how democratic are our churches really?' Along the way, they detour into some sci-fi beef and discuss anti-apartheid activist, Steve Biko, for Saint of the Week.

This week, Ben, Adam, and Jonny take a look at the confected moral outrage machine. Why are we allowed to be angry at Bob Vylan, but not a government aiding and abetting a genocide? How does the state uses outrage to keep people quiet? Why do Christians so often fall for it?

Plus: the antifascist joy of queer wrestling in nacho cheese, bookshop-based moral collapse, and a French pastor and his deeply unimpressed wife, who led a village to save thousands of Jewish refugees during the Nazi occupation.

Well almost illegal anyway... if the government gets its way, pretty soon this kind of content will get us up to 14 years in prison, so enjoy (endure?) it while you can!

CLARIFICATION: In this episode, Adam says he thinks Mark Rowley was formerly commissioner of the Northern Irish Police Service. This is not the case. Bread and Rosaries wishes to apologise for associating such a name with the good people of Ireland. It's bad enough the PSNI exists, without Mark Rowley getting involved.

Ben and Adam coordinate T-shirts, then draw from Adam's article in Shibboleth magazine to coordinate their critiques of how church and crown legitimise each other. They also react to the horror of an American Pope and present perhaps their most famous Saint of the Week yet!
