The Catholic Cyber Militiaman

There’s a new YouTuber out there coming up with explanations so bizarre that you’ll spit your coffee all over your computer screen.

I don’t know what it is about people who enjoy contorting themselves into almost unbelievable shaps as they bend this way and that in a desperate attempt to explain away whatever the latest nonsense coming from our hierarchy might be on any given day. It’s more than a mere artform…it’s almost a science.

I am talking, of course, about “popesplaining.” For those who might be unfamiliar with the term, popesplaining is the act of convincing a skeptical listener that a particular action by a pope (or by extension, any of his close advisors, advocates, etc.) is not in fact inconsistent with established Church doctrines/teachings/practices, or with plain old common sense for that matter. You might have heard of some of them. Mr. Lofton and Mr. Lewis are but a couple of examples.

Well, dear readers, there is a NEW Popesplainer out there in YouTubeLand. His name is PopeSplainer Pete. This guy is in a class all by himself. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s his inaugural episode which aired recently.
