11. Rage Against the Machine & Catholic Social Teaching w/ Kyle Heimann

Note: This episode was recorded in November 2020.

Mike is joined by Redeemer Radio host Kyle Heimann to plumb the rock/rap/funk political mele that is Rage Against the Machine. Their music is as relevant now as it ever was. Mike & Kyle bust out the guitars and uke’s to see what Tom Morello riffs they can still play. We cover a LOT of controversial political topics so prepare yourself:
Racism and police brutality
Which political party Catholics belong in
Culture, eurocentrism and the liturgy
revolution vs reform
liberation theology & social justice
The breakdown of the family
Fancy terms from Catholic Social Teaching
A tea party with John Paul II and Zac De La Rocha
Storming the gates of hell
Apathy, silence, and sins of omission
The culture of death
Patriotism vs nationalism
Why I call this show Pop Culture Catechism
