Tuesday briefing: Pope Francis allows same-sex blessings; China quake; Iceland volcano; Jonathan Majors; Google payout; and more

Read today's briefing.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media has found a new virus to fear-monger over: Monkeypox. But the “public health” messaging around this disease has been quite a bit different from what we heard for COVID. I’ll explain why. Also, Nancy Pelosi is finally told that she has to stop receiving communion at church on account of her advocacy for baby butchery. A newly engaged AOC gives her thoughts on the life question, and her thoughts are as stupid as you’ve come to expect. A gender-affirming psychotherapist says that sex education in kindergarten is too late. It should really start at birth. And in our Daily Cancellation, a trans activist reacts to my What Is A Woman trailer, and is not too pleased.

Nancy Pelosi invokes her Catholicism again, saying her "heart full of love" and her Catholic faith prevent her from hating the president. Everything about this claim is bogus. Also, Joe Biden calls a potential voter fat. It's his best sales pitch of the campaign so far. And CBS wants to save boys from "toxic masculinity." I think they need to be saved from people who preach about toxic masculinity.

Today we remember the great Christopher Columbus and talk about why it's important to acknowledge and appreciate those who built western civilization, no matter what the PC brigade says. Also, controversy over a new pro-Trump meme. But the outrage is absurdly hypocritical. I'll explain why. And should parents spank their kids? We'll discuss. Date: 10-14-2019

The Vatican is throwing up another roadblock to prevent reform and accountability in the Church. What does this tell us about Pope Francis? Also, police are investigating inappropriate hand gestures made by high school kids in a junior prom photo. Is that a good use of law enforcement resources? Date: 11-13-2018

Pope Francis stands accused of personally covering for a sexual abuser. The allegations are breathtaking and unprecedented, but believable. I will explain why. Also, what can average Catholics do if it turns out that the Pope is guilty of this heinous sin? We'll talk about that as well.

The sex abuse problem in the Catholic Church is very bad, but it is not at all unique. The problem permeates through our entire culture and infects every institution. Media, Hollywood, sports, medicine, Catholic churches, protestant churches, public schools -- all of these institutions are plagued by abuse.

Pope Francis is attempting to overturn 2,000 years of Church teaching on the death penalty. Christianity has always taught, and Scripture says, and men like Aquinas and Augustine have affirmed, that the death penalty is morally permissible. The Pope disagrees. Is he wrong? We'll talk about that on the show today. (But yes, he's wrong).

The idea of pious monks imbued with unbridled power and with a penchant for dealing torture and death is a scary one indeed, and one both Spain and the Catholic Church have tried to reconcile since the Spanish Inquisition ended in the 19th century.

The Pope just gave it to the global economy with both barrels. Was he right to do so?
