Ok… this episode felt a bit unhinged to me for a variety of reasons…
1. JD not liking mashed potatoes is personally offensive as they are my favorite food group.
2. “We designed The Pillar specifically for priests.”…5 min later “F-you, Ed” 🤣
3. PLEASE do a Pillar explainer on the “moderate tax” that the Vatican would be “within its rights” to do that would carry “moral and legal” weight. Because for me it’s raising A LOT of questions. With a Church that has a Vatican finance scandal, bankruptcy in dioceses due to settling abuse cases, and a second collection every week for various needs in the Church around the world, I am struggling to see how that I could be a cheerful giver. Label me cynical but it feels a bit like your cousin with a gambling addiction who just “needs a couple bucks to get by” but hasn’t shown any actual progress.

Sorry if that sounds way harsh.
