> rely on very bizarre and misguided interpretations of scripture to uphold their views
This was what I thought when watching their videos, but I don’t really have a solid enough understanding of biblical hermeneutics to solidly refute any of their claims. I was asking because I’m in a group chat with a guy who is really into them and keeps urging everyone to watch their “third secret of fatima” video. He thinks John Paul II is the antichrist. And I’m not using “antichrist” as just a figure of speech. But my understanding is that John Paul II is generally highly favored among Catholics, right?

Anyways, I’d ask what Catholic podcasts you might recommend, but honestly I’m trying to limit my podcasting and internet surfing because it seems like it’s deeply stunting my spiritual development. Hopefully Cardinal Robert Sarah’s book The Power of Silence can help me with that. I’ll pick up a copy tomorrow from my local library.

And, whatever, this is sort of unrelated… but it’s something I at least want to share. I hope that Jesus can teach me how to love because sometimes it feels like I’ve forgotten. I’m looking forward to getting involved with my church community if I can overcome this fear and shame. I’ll pray for it.
