You're LARPing at playing a superhero, and you better leave that superhero where he belongs: in the fictional, play regions of your mind.

It was nothing momentous. I'm glad I got a lot of garden weeding done while listening to it. He didn't offer much more insight into aliens than he did on Joe Rogan: he thinks alien sightings are supernatural phenomenon that are here for dark purposes and there's possibly a supernatural war brewing. He seems to be saying, "the World War III being courted by poking Russia in the face is the manifestation on the natural level of the Supernatural World War that's taking place." That's kinda how I read him. In any event, he emphasizes that he doesn't know and it's just a gut feeling, but one emanating from very solid evidence that the government is covering up. I remain agnostic. The end of the interview, veers pretty strongly, if circumspectly, anti-Catholic. After a brief exchange about the priestly abuse scandal, Ryan left-hemispherically (dogmatically) insisted Christ's church isn't "brick and mortar," which I'm pretty sure is simply his metaphor for "an earthly institution." I suspect he used the metaphor instead of the literal because he didn't want to alienate any Catholic listeners. I hasten to add that I know *nothing* about Ryan except what I heard on this podcast, so it's entirely possibly I entirely misread him, but I doubt it.

I read it for the first time this morning. It's very good and, it appears, free. Keep in mind, Dreher left the Catholic Church, traumatized by the priestly abuse scandal (understandable) and justified by his conclusion that Catholic doctrine is wrong (I forget the specifics; I remember rolling my eyes and thinking he should've simply left off at the buggery . . . that woulda sufficed for me). Anyway, on display is a dose of the anti-Catholic serum that flows through every former Catholic's veins. I think the serum is unavoidable because there's a broken metaphysic involved, but I'm obviously just concocting that notion in my head (I also hunch the same when it comes to couples who divorce even though the original marriage was valid). Regardless, the animus in the diary entry seems fair, just, and on display for a reason.
