Some men are called by God. Some raise themselves up because they want the accolades. And some are called by the devil. Rob and Anthony talk about the cardinals who don't seem to want to spread the Gospel, Bishop Barron's pushback, and the hard question: if some in the hierarchy have lost their way, do they still have authority? Saul and David, Jesus and the Pharisees, the Assisi controversy, and why the answer for ordinary Catholics is simple: go to Mass, stay in a state of grace, and trust that the gates of hell will not prevail.
