Episode 126 — Fired for Opposing Zionism? The Catholic Purge w/ Joe Enders

In Episode 126 of The Backlash, Dave is joined by Catholic commentator Joe Enders to discuss the growing controversy surrounding Zionism and the Catholic Church in America. Following the removal of Carrie Prejean Boller from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and a communique from the USCCB that appeared to distance the Church from her remarks, many Catholics are asking difficult questions about political influence, religious liberty, and the boundaries of acceptable discourse within the Church.

Joe Enders recently found himself at the center of a similar storm after being dismissed from a position connected to the Diocese of Detroit following his outspoken criticism of Zionism. Together, Dave and Joe unpack what these events reveal about the tensions between Catholic teaching, American politics, and the modern push to silence dissenting voices. Is this simply a political dispute, or does it reveal a deeper struggle over the direction of the Church in the United States?
