The Laity Will Save the Church, Not the Bishops
On August 9, the USCCB published the results of a Pew Research survey that found that only 30% of Catholics believe in the Real Presence, a massive decline from 70% just a decade ago. When the USCCB published this survey on its Facebook page, they did something they’ve never done in the history of the Catholic Church in America. Tune in to find out what that is.
ResourcesThere are many, many books, DVDs and CDs available about the Eucharist. I’ve chosen only what I think are the best. And since I quoted Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen at the beginning of this episode, I intentionally included eight of nine audios/videos from him that have nothing to do with the Eucharist. Why? Well, give Archbishop Sheen a listen. If you’re anything like me, you’ll never be able to get enough of him. And don’t forget to sign up for this week’s free webinar.

What We Believe… Why We Believe It—the weekly bulletin insert to educate your parishioners!
No one disputes that today’s Catholic lacks knowledge of the faith. That’s the reason so many are leaving the Church (6.5 people leave for every one who becomes a Catholic)—they simply don’t know the faith. But the What We Believe… Why We Believe It system can change all that. Within a year of reading What We Believe… Why We Believe It, your parishioners will know exactly what they believe… and be able to defend those beliefs.
What We Believe… Why We Believe It works because…

The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media GroupJoin our group where subscribers of The Cantankerous Catholic can meet to discuss the issues talked about in episodes, get opinions from other like minded people, or simply discuss anything effecting Catholics.
Don’t like or trust Facebook? No problem!
Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy doesn’t trust Facebook either. There have been too many instances of censorship on Facebook. If you promote abortion, LGBT issues, or anything anti-patriotic, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be unmolested by Facebook. But if you promote life, decency or morality, Facebook is subject to censor your posts, take down your page, or otherwise use some underhanded method to censor you.
Mumblit.comWe’ve found an alternative to Facebook. It’s a new social media site called Mumblit.com. This is the one social media that doesn’t censor you for upholding Catholic values and morals. You’re completely free to discuss and promote anything you want, just as long as it isn’t immoral, indecent, or anti-American. Mumblit.com has never molested us in any way, and they guarantee they won’t. The site otherwise works identically to Facebook. That is the reason Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy chose to host The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media Group there. We have the added benefit and protection of being a private group. So join the group now to meet other like minded Catholics.
Not a Catholic? We’d still love to have you join us. You’ll find that we’re a very welcoming people. (Matthew [25:35])
