History of Clerical Celibacy and Vatican Nepotism

The requirement for clerical celibacy in the Catholic Church is described as a historical solution to rampant nepotism rather than a divine mandate.

Phineas Priesthood and Tax Resistance Movements

The DHS document highlights the "Phineas Priesthood," a group that uses biblical justification for interracial killing and violence. It also targets the "Tax Resistance Movement," which argues that income taxes are unconstitutional. The hosts note the addition of "Explosives" to the ATF's name (now ATFE) and criticize the government's broad categorization of dissent as a precursor to terrorism.
