Ep. 426 - When Truth Became Dangerous: COVID, the Church, and Forgiveness, with Fr. Zechariah Lynch

Fr. Zechariah Lynch joins me to talk about something a lot of people would rather forget: what the COVID years actually did to us.

We get into fear, mandates, "misinformation," the pressure to conform, and the damage done to people who simply asked questions. Fr. Zechariah also gets personal about what he and his family went through within the Church during that time and why he describes some of it as psychological abuse.

We also talk about repentance, forgiveness, and how we move forward without pretending none of it happened.
