Sometimes good, sometimes very much not
Sometimes Matt just projects as a middle-aged man who is insecure in his masculinity to the point where he must adopt shallow masculine tropes like smoking cigars, hunting big game, and cosplaying as his favorite daily wire host. Do whatever you want in your free time, but the need to be filmed doing or talking about it is desperately cringe. He even admits on his John Henry Spawn interview that he’s easily influenced and just does whatever the seemingly more masculine men he looks up to do. He has previously flirted with the line between the Catholics who are for the pope and the ultra trads who think he’s an anti pope, never outright saying pope Francis isn’t the real pope but certainly regurgitating some of the rhetoric of those who do. Then he has the gall to try and play peacemaker and urge people not to side with archbishop vigano. The politics are also getting to be super cringe. I don’t fault his conservatism, that’s a fine position to hold. Nor do I think anyone should stay silent about Joe Biden’s unfitness for office. But the short video Thursday (who is probably the root of the problem and influences our easily-influenced host) and he shot about Biden’s disastrous debate is down right uncharitable, as are some of his other takes on hot button political issues. If Biden truly is a man with dementia being propped up by power hungry, immoral people, then we should certainly have some basic sympathy for his and encourage prayer for him. The basic dignity of people cannot be ignored even if you don’t agree with them or like them. We are called to more as Catholics and this show could be a tremendous blessing but is getting in its own way. Being controversial gets you click, but what does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?
