In order to be a good Catholic in the modern Church, is it necessary to be some sort of progressive, open-minded Democrat, or an environmentalist, anti-capitalist and celebrate Martin Luther's Protestant Revolt? Michael Matt and Father Echert say NO! AOTM asks why not? Is that not the message from the majority of Catholic leaders? Is it OK, for Catholics to stick with traditional moral theology or is it necessary for all of us to change how we believe and get ready to go along with the times? Come see our very own Fr. Echert and Michael Matt defend their positions in a crossfire of objections from our moderator. Come enjoy the good food and fellowship at the next AOTM!

AOTM is introducing a new format we call "Crossfire."  In our "Crossfire" presentation, the AOTM Moderator will be playing Devils Advocate. You may be wondering why we do we not have another debater. Well, to be honest, we could not find a Progressive Anti-Capital Environmentalist Catholic who Celebrates Martin Luther and his revolt to take us up on a debate at AOTM. However, the issues above were very prominent over the last year and need to be addressed. So we came up with "Crossfire." This is a much more spontaneous type of format that I think you are going to really enjoy. Specifically, the Speakers do not know all the questions that are going to be given to them. Add some beer and this should be fun!
