How A Gay Jew Rewrote Core Catholic Doctrine in the 1960s (This is CRAZY)

Is Vatican II the result of a "gay Jew infiltrating the Catholic Church"? Malcolm and Simone Collins dive deep into the shocking story of Gregory Baum — a matrilineal Jew, former Catholic priest, and openly gay man who authored the first draft of Nostra Aetate, one of the most controversial documents of the Second Vatican Council.

In this episode, they explore:

• Baum’s background, conversion, active homosexuality while writing key Church documents, and later life

• The content and lasting impact of Nostra Aetate on Catholic teaching regarding Jews, other religions, and interfaith dialogue

• Why many traditional Catholics view Vatican II with deep suspicion

• The broader implications for Church authority, doctrine, and demographics

A wild, uncomfortable, and thought-provoking discussion on faith, identity, institutional capture, and theology. What do you think — infiltration, urban monoculture influence, or something else?

Watch until the end for Malcolm & Simone's unfiltered reactions.
