The Catholic Church has enemies on the right and the left — and both use the same playbook. David names it: the Theology of Grievance. Stop-and-roast on a FutureChurch preaching slam, the line back to SSPX, the falsification test that exposes both. Plus St. Pope John I and Jerry Jacobs Jr. on The Wife's Exit Strategy.

Cardinal Fernández issued the ultimatum. The SSPX fired back. Michael Matt said "bring it on." David stops the clip four times to expose the toxic trad playbook — strawmen, schism cheerleading, and the counter-church SSPX pretends not to be. Plus: St. Isidore the Farmer, the "Hey Honey, Kenya" tangent, and why no one's going to war with vegans.

Silence forms doctrine, and the laity’s clarity becomes an act of charity.
