WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Easy

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Boston's new radio.

3
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:08.720
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we have spent a couple of hours talking

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 2>about the election today of the first American Pope, Pope

5
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Leo the fourteenth, and we're going to either continue that

6
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>for a little bit and you're going to decide if

7
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>you still want to talk about that. Dial this number

8
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty or six

9
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 2>one seven, nine three one ten thirty. Got a couple

10
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 2>of calls they're going to deal with. If that's it,

11
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 2>we will move on because on this program, the audience

12
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>decides what we want to talk about, and if you

13
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>want to talk uh and make a comment, I'm looking

14
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>for comments from both Catholics and non Catholics alike, both

15
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 2>believers and atheists and agnostics alike. I do think that

16
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the presence of an American pope in the Vatican in

17
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Rome will have an impact on all of our lives,

18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>either directly or indirectly. I do believe it's an important position,

19
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and particularly be comes now even a more important position

20
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>as a position that is held by an American. For

21
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>better or for worse, many of us felt that we

22
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>would never see an American Polpe at our lives, and

23
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 2>today we were introduced to one a native of Chicago

24
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>who was a missionary in Peru. I spent a lot

25
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>of time in Peru, and I spent a lot of

26
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>time in Rome. And it was stunning to see for

27
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>me as an American, to see an American walk out

28
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>onto the balcony as the next pope. It was something

29
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that I had never imagined in my life. And if

30
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>you have, you can tell me why. And if you haven't,

31
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you can tell me why. And if you feel this

32
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>is significant, I'd love to hear why. And if you

33
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>feel it's insignificant. Many of you may feel it doesn't

34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>impact you, and it may not, but you may also

35
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>feel it's something that we have overstated. So you have

36
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 2>the numbers six seven, two, five, four, ten thirty or

37
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, nine three, one ten thirty. Do with

38
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>him as you will. Let me go. We're going to

39
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>finish up with Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill wanted to tell

40
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>a quick story. Go right ahead, Bill, thanks for holding on.

41
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is a from a Baptist pulpit that I

42
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 3>heard a while back. Then a coast Guard helicopters flying

43
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of the Pacific, and they looked down

44
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 3>on this little island. There's a guy waving his arms.

45
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 3>He got sos written in the sand. They land and

46
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 3>pick him up and he says oh. He says, thank

47
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>god you rescued me. He says, I was on that

48
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 3>island by myself for five years. Oh, go ahead. Anyways,

49
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 3>as they're taking off, the pilot looks down at the

50
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 3>ave and he looks at the guy. He says, are

51
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>you sure you are not island but by yourself for

52
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 3>five years? He goes, yep, five years by myself. He says, well,

53
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 3>tell me something. He says, how come there's three huts

54
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 3>down there? And the guy goes, well, he says that

55
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 3>hut there by the by the surf, he says, that's

56
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 3>where I lived. And the pilot goes, yeah, he said,

57
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 3>what about that hut over there by the palm trees.

58
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 3>He says, oh, that's where I went to church. Oh, okay,

59
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 3>you lived in that when you went to church? And

60
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>that one. What about that hut over there on the

61
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 3>other side of the island. Is that's where I used

62
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 3>to go to church?

63
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, keep the day job. Cute story story.

64
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Bill, good to hear you, boys. Thanks very much.

65
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, let me go next to have a great one.

66
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to Joe and Belmont. Joe, I'm

67
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>sure you were very interested in this today.

68
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 4>Dan time man. If he can't do it, no one can.

69
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you on that Coretta headshow. What's your

70
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>thought about an American pope.

71
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought I heard on ABC that uh Pope Leo

72
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 4>the fourteenth was going to be progressive on social issues

73
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 4>and conservative on doctrine, like no women priests. And I'm

74
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 4>hoping that uh Catholics can you know, really support him,

75
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 4>and I'm hoping he's going to be a great pope.

76
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 4>And I don't want to give any opinions on whether

77
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 4>Pope Francis is following the teachings of Peter and Paul,

78
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 4>because I don't know what the Holy Spirit or the

79
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 4>Holy Ghost is telling the Pope. So I'm going to

80
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 4>keep my mouth shut.

81
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 2>That's a good let me tell you. Whenever in doubt,

82
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>it's always it's always a good option, that's for sure. Joe.

83
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate your call, Thank you for your observations. Appreciate it.

84
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to Missouri. Jim and Missouri go ahead, Jim.

85
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Dan, Hey, thanks for taking my call.

86
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 2>You're right, go right ahead.

87
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, first of all, I'm sorry I fell asleep

88
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 3>on the other night. I just fell asleep, So.

89
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>People have a right to fall asleep. You go right ahead,

90
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>even when you're listening on the radio, Go right ahead.

91
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Jim, all right, all right.

92
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 3>So I mean I hesitate to call in because Catholics

93
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 3>all know each other. So as soon as you start talking,

94
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 3>you go to church and everybody knows you. You're kind

95
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 3>of embarrassed. But here's the thing.

96
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 2>What what Why do people embarrassed that they go to church.

97
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't get that.

98
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you're just supposed to be a certain way. And

99
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 3>if it's you know, I can't explain it to you.

100
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it a trouble explain. Go ahead, tell

101
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>me what you want to tell me. I'm allus. Go ahead.

102
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's the thing. The thing that our family was

103
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 3>extreme Catholic for many many, for many generations, and then

104
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>there was a falling out. But I was baptized Catholic,

105
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 3>and I just about five years ago I wanted to

106
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 3>go back. And the reason I wanted to go back

107
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 3>is because it just occurred to me that everybody now

108
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 3>wants to be a part of some sort of like

109
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 3>a secret subculture where they get their own hand signs

110
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 3>and their own language.

111
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know anybody like that, but that's okay

112
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>if you if you know people like that. I don't

113
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 2>belong to any subcultures. But go ahead, what sort of

114
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>a subculture do you belong to?

115
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Catholicism is the original subculture, man, When you might be it.

116
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Might have been when they were hanging out in the catchulm,

117
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 2>but here in Boston, at least when I grew up,

118
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know too many people who weren't Catholic.

119
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, so all right, well, but I mean I think,

120
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's it's very you grew up.

121
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 2>In Kansas City or did you grow up, you know,

122
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 2>in a in a different part of West I was.

123
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I was again, I was born on the South side

124
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 3>of Chicago. I think I might have been born in

125
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 3>the same hospital as this guy.

126
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it said he was on the south side of

127
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Chicago even but he's now a Cubs fan, which of

128
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>course is the North side of Chicago, so we'll have

129
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>to think of that.

130
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 3>To his According to his brother, he was a Sox fan,

131
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 3>but I was born in Saint Francis, which is now

132
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 3>kind of shut down, but so anyway, But the thing is,

133
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 3>I think, I mean, people are talking about him as

134
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 3>if he's a person. He's not a person anymore. He's

135
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>God incarnate, and.

136
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I don't think so, to be honest with you,

137
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't. At least the Catholic theology that I understand

138
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>is the Pope is a human being. He's not God.

139
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Uh Pope, the first Pope, Peter was not God. Peter

140
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>was a fisherman. So I don't want to get into

141
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>into the deep deal here, but he's he's infallible on

142
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 2>what they call matters of faith and morals. That's what

143
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>I was taught in the Catholic public schools. So if

144
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>this guy spoke what's called ex cathedra on matters of

145
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>faith and morals, you had to follow what he said.

146
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.639
<v Speaker 2>At the same time, if he said root for the

147
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>White Sox or root for the Red Sox, or the

148
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 2>kids is in the Royals, he wasn't talking about matters

149
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 2>of faith and morals here. So he's just a regular

150
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>human being. He's a He may be God's representative in

151
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the minds of many people, but he's he's not he's

152
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:48.639
<v Speaker 2>he's a human being.

153
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well now I'm wrong about that, but well that's

154
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 3>so anyway that that's kind of what brought me back

155
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 3>to the church. And I'm very excited and happy that

156
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 3>there's a that there's a local connection.

157
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're you're really a local when you might have

158
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 2>lived in his neighborhood now that you think about it,

159
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how old you are, but he was

160
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>born in fifty five on the South side of Chicago,

161
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't leave there, I don't think until he

162
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 2>went off to college. He went to Villanova and graduated

163
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>from Villanova. I think it was trying to do the

164
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 2>math here. I think it was sometime in like nineteen

165
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>eighty or so or whatever it was. Maybe he was

166
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight, so he would have been living in your neighborhood.

167
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what you You were born from nineteen

168
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>fifty five, probably right through the mid nineteen seventies before

169
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 2>he went off to college.

170
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Heleanova, right, But I mean I think that, I mean,

171
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.720
<v Speaker 3>from what I'm hearing, I think a lot of people don't.

172
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I may be wrong about this, but I

173
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 3>think a lot of people don't really grasp exactly what's

174
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 3>going on with the Catholic Church, when with the Catholic

175
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Church is not I think you have to live in

176
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 3>the world a lot and suffer in the world a

177
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 3>lot to really realize that there's a lot more to

178
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 3>what's going on here than just what you see.

179
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 5>And that's you know, what you.

180
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Can have your.

181
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 3>Church be about what you want, but that's what to me,

182
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 3>what the church is about. I can get all the

183
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>other worldly stuff everywhere else. I go to the church

184
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 3>for the stuff that you can't see. The stuff that

185
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 3>you can't see.

186
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>One of the things one of the things, Jim, that

187
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>I find in going to church, and I tend to

188
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>go once a week. There was a time period of

189
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>time right after the pre scandal where I didn't go

190
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.879
<v Speaker 2>because I was so appalled, but I sort of have

191
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 2>gone back to it. And one of the things you

192
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to kind of sit and think for

193
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>an hour or just sit and kind of keep out

194
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the hubbub and the hurly burly of the world and

195
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 2>think about what you got that you're grateful for, whether

196
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>it's your health or your family. I think that it's

197
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it's good to take there's one hundred and sixty eight

198
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 2>hours in the week. So if I can take one

199
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>hour a week, uh and just just sitting and contemplate

200
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 2>my good fortune, uh, you know, good health and good friends.

201
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that's that's well worth it in my opinion.

202
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, they keep us busy on our knees praying the

203
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 3>words to be anyway.

204
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, keep going. Thanks, Jim appreciates your call. I'll

205
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>have a good one. Take a very quick break here.

206
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I only got one line here coming up, so I'm

207
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>going to probably switch this unless you guys want to

208
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>have a few more comments about Pope Leo. I'm not

209
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 2>going to drag it out at six one seven, two

210
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>five four ten thirty or six one seven, nine three

211
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>one ten thirty your reaction to the election of the

212
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 2>first American pope today. Maybe maybe you have to be

213
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>of a certain vintage to realize the significance of it.

214
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>If there are those of you who are out there,

215
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>younger people in your twenties or thirties, I'd love to

216
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 2>know what you think about this and does it change

217
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 2>your view of either Catholicism, whether you're a Catholic or not. Uh,

218
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.799
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's a moment in time that I think

219
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>many people are underestimony, underestimating in the short run. Feel

220
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>free to join the conversation. If not, we're going to

221
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.519
<v Speaker 2>switch off right after one more call with my friend

222
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Pelvis from Middleton. Back on Nightside after.

223
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>This, it's Nightside with Yoston's news radio.

224
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, let's rock and roll. Let's go to Pelvis and Middleton.

225
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Pelvis next on Nightside. How were you, sir, Dan?

226
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 6>How are you?

227
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. It's been an interesting day, at least

228
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>it is. It was for me, how about you?

229
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 7>Uh yeah, I was at the end of the day.

230
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 7>It was I listened to the camera etil all day,

231
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 7>so I was invested in that. But on the other,

232
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 7>you know, the other end of it, I get why

233
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 7>people are excited for the you know, religious thing and

234
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 7>all that. I just, you know, my grand old school

235
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 7>Italian woman goes and praise for the whole family and

236
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 7>follows suit and does the whole nine. And I understand

237
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 7>it from like a you know, social parapeutic type of

238
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 7>what you explained, like, you go there, you know, you

239
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 7>feel good about what you've got and what you've got

240
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 7>in lines and friends. I just don't follow it as

241
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 7>hardcore as you know, who decides what the Bible translated

242
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 7>to whatever it is.

243
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I totally get that. So so I'm assuming you're you're agnostic, right.

244
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you have to explain that to me.

245
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just, well, well, I'll tell you what. Let me

246
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>explain it to you, because I think it's important for

247
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.759
<v Speaker 2>people to understand that. Okay, there's there's two. There are

248
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 2>atheists who will tell you that there is nothing beyond here,

249
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and atheists will tell you there's no God, there's there's

250
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 2>nothing beyond here. Okay, that they're convinced of that. They

251
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 2>are convinced, yeah, that we're living you know, however long

252
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>we live here, and that's it. When it's over, it's over, okay.

253
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Agnostics are people who do not believe, but they don't disbelieve.

254
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 2>So they're sort of like the ones in the middle.

255
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>They're not it off the church every Sunday or to

256
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>synagogue every every Saturday. Uh, you know, they're not going,

257
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.279
<v Speaker 2>but they they leave open the possibility in their mind.

258
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Now people can switch back and forth, and then you

259
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 2>have all the religions over here on the other side

260
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 2>and people who believe in certain things whatever, and you

261
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 2>can kind of a big bunch of Well I've picked

262
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 2>up from you that that you sound to me like

263
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 2>you're an agnostic as or an atheist.

264
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 7>I think so, no, no, no, I think you're right.

265
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 7>I think I think I believe in a higher level.

266
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.080
<v Speaker 7>Put it that way. I just the way that religion

267
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.679
<v Speaker 7>is controlled and delivered creates a lot of problems.

268
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.279
<v Speaker 2>In that case, I got another category for you. Then

269
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 2>you might be sort of either what's called a theist

270
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 2>or a deist, meaning you believe there's something out there.

271
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.919
<v Speaker 2>And obviously, if there's something out there, it's much greater

272
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.519
<v Speaker 2>than you and me because we're not out there. So

273
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 2>but but you, but your path to finding that is

274
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>not through something morganized religion. You don't have to, you

275
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 2>feel you don't have to. You got to go to

276
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:04.360
<v Speaker 2>some building.

277
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, I don't.

278
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 7>I don't think it should be used as a tool,

279
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 7>is what I'm getting at. I think all of us

280
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 7>should believe in, you know, obviously whatever whatever helps you

281
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 7>sleep at night, and whatever helps you get by, because

282
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 7>everybody deals with everything. But when it's used as a tool,

283
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 7>and then you know, and I'll just leave you with this.

284
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, in my.

285
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.879
<v Speaker 7>Opinion, the way the Bible is or whatever. I mean,

286
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 7>the Catholic Church, if they would just allow the priests,

287
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 7>the popes whoever, to be married in a normal, you know,

288
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.919
<v Speaker 7>marital situation. Here, I mean, you're basically putting them it's

289
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.279
<v Speaker 7>almost like prison, Dan, You're almost you're almost asking them

290
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 7>to mess up when it comes to like the scandal.

291
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 7>That totally turned me off against the whole thing, because

292
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 7>you're not going to tell me how to live my

293
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 7>life when you are doing things that are despicable, and

294
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, let me.

295
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>You got plenty of options if you happen to be

296
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 2>some who believes, and if you happen to be Christian,

297
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>you can become Episcopal, you can be Baptist, you can

298
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>become There are Catholic priests who were married. They were

299
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Episcopal priests who were married and converted to Catholicism. That's

300
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:19.919
<v Speaker 2>a little known fact category of course not of course, no, no, no, no,

301
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>no no. And there was a point in time where

302
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.039
<v Speaker 2>back in the in the early days of the Church,

303
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>where Catholic priests were married. My understanding, and I'm not

304
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 2>a theologian, is that the Catholic Church made some sort

305
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 2>of a decision at some point that people would better

306
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:38.480
<v Speaker 2>serve the flock if their whole intention.

307
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 8>You.

308
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what I was taught. Okay. The other thing

309
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.240
<v Speaker 2>which I was taught as a Catholic kid in school

310
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.799
<v Speaker 2>was that the only true church was the Catholic Church

311
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and that you couldn't go to heaven. I was taught this.

312
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>But but, but, but I've come to the conclusion that

313
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>if there is and I believe there is a God,

314
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.159
<v Speaker 2>there's not like three. There's not a Hindu God, Jewish

315
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.919
<v Speaker 2>God and a Catholic God and a Presbyterian God and

316
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 2>a Baptist God and all you know, twenty seven gods

317
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 2>up there. No, there's one. If there is, there's one God.

318
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And I believe that that God is going to look

319
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.159
<v Speaker 2>at people and say, hey, what sort of a life

320
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.879
<v Speaker 2>did they live, how did they treat other people, and

321
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that that would be the way in which the person

322
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.919
<v Speaker 2>would be judged. And I just think that you can

323
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 2>you can literally follow any religion, or you even can follow,

324
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, lack of religion. But if you live

325
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>a decent life, I think you should be rewarded in

326
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the afterlife, in my opinion.

327
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.159
<v Speaker 7>But that's why I also, I mean, just real quick,

328
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.720
<v Speaker 7>I have a good friend of mine. He's a doctor

329
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 7>in New Jersey, Muslim Indian guy who has a turn

330
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 7>in the whole nine yards, right, he jails with stuff

331
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.720
<v Speaker 7>every day, people coming into Virgin Care and you know, hey, buddy,

332
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.159
<v Speaker 7>you know the racist stuff word you pocket camel, blah

333
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 7>blah blah. But in the minute he says he's Muslim,

334
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 7>a lot of people turn to radical you know, radical

335
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.919
<v Speaker 7>Muslim and he's like, you know, listen, there are so

336
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.480
<v Speaker 7>many different levels of what you know, their religion is

337
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 7>as well, so just in general, it's it just seems

338
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.079
<v Speaker 7>like a great divide and it's it can be used

339
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 7>as a tool. It's obviously used in war and everything else.

340
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 9>You know, at Pelvis we we had the ira the

341
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 9>the Irish Republican Army who were blown up you know,

342
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 9>houses and places that were Protestant in Ireland.

343
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 2>So right, you know, that doesn't justify what what the

344
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>whack job Muslims have done, you know what isis and

345
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>all of that has done. But there are a lot

346
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 2>of people who happen to be Islamic who are really

347
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 2>decent kind people, I mean, right, and.

348
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.960
<v Speaker 7>Get back in the day, like like Kiash, you know

349
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 7>what I mean, back in the day. I'm old, so

350
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 7>I'm forty five, so I remember David Koresh and you know,

351
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 7>the whole Waco thing and all that, and it becomes

352
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 7>like a like a mind f you know, like you're

353
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.839
<v Speaker 7>people can be controlled by. It is like whatever, I

354
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 7>know what you're saying. I got you good, good deal

355
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 7>for everybody who believes, and and you know, congrats on that.

356
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 7>So I'll leave you on.

357
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>That good conversation. Should Thanks, Thanks, talk to you soon.

358
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep rolling here, going to go to Paul and endover.

359
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Paul going to get you in here before the break

360
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:08.119
<v Speaker 2>or red head Paul, Hi.

361
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 10>Dan, thanks for taking my call. I'm thrilled that we

362
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:19.680
<v Speaker 10>have an American pope, particularly because I think one of

363
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 10>the things that has made America great has been Christian values.

364
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I call it. I call it, by the way, Judeo

365
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Christian values, just so you know, because I think that

366
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Judeo Christian values come you know, from from the same

367
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:37.920
<v Speaker 2>experience in my.

368
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 10>Opinion, yes, and it's just you know, things like you know,

369
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 10>we live in a country where for the most part,

370
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker 10>we live without walls around our house, and then you

371
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.440
<v Speaker 10>go to other countries and they're there. They got walls

372
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 10>around the house. We trust the banking system. We trust

373
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.880
<v Speaker 10>that stockbrokers trust if you call make an order, uh,

374
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.559
<v Speaker 10>that you're going to follow through. And so you know,

375
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 10>you know, things like the Ten Commandments, and so my

376
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 10>my hope that within America and they're as pope, that

377
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:26.279
<v Speaker 10>he will foster those values of things like the Ten

378
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 10>Commandments and.

379
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 6>Around the world.

380
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 2>You know.

381
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 10>I'm eighty two and and I went to you know,

382
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 10>parochial schools and the Catholic university and.

383
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Which one which Catholic University.

384
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 10>I went to school in Nova Scotia at a place

385
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.079
<v Speaker 10>called Saint Francis David University.

386
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh great, okay, we have a lot of listeners up

387
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.480
<v Speaker 2>in Nova Scotia. I wouldn't have been surprised. We heard

388
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 2>from some of them tonight. That's good to know.

389
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:58.799
<v Speaker 10>Yeah. So, but we we had to go through retreats

390
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:04.720
<v Speaker 10>and the discip when of uh Catholicism while while I

391
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.960
<v Speaker 10>was there. So it was just a you know, and

392
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker 10>I think back to that those times, and I had

393
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:16.839
<v Speaker 10>priests and nuns as college professors, and they were uh,

394
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 10>very strong in their subject matter and and compare it

395
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 10>to you know, I went to a graduate school here

396
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 10>in the United States, and but it was just a

397
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:35.160
<v Speaker 10>totally different environment. And and I appreciate all of the

398
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 10>the education I got from them, you know, things as

399
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.400
<v Speaker 10>simple as you know, going to church every week, going

400
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.160
<v Speaker 10>to confession every week, getting dressed in a tie to

401
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 10>go to school.

402
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I hear you. By the way, remember this, you got

403
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the Ten Commandments. You find it both in the Old

404
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and the New Testament. And that's why I say when

405
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 2>I say, you know, the day of christian eth I

406
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.079
<v Speaker 2>think it's you know, Judaism turns into uh, you know,

407
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Christianity flows out of Judaism. And I don't want to

408
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 2>get into big theology here, but I think that we're lucky.

409
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 2>We live in a society that is based upon religions

410
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>great the world. Two of the world's great religions, Judaism

411
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 2>and Christianity. Absolutely, all right, thank you, my friend, Paul.

412
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Nice nice talk with I hope you call more often.

<v Speaker 2>may have a positive impact. I think. I think the

446
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Catholic Church has kind of dug themselves into a hole

447
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>with the whole priest abuse scandal. I think the way

448
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 2>that they handled it was horrible. Uh. It impacted a

449
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of people, including me, And I don't know if

450
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:17.720
<v Speaker 2>it impacted you or not, but I think they got

451
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 2>to come back, you know, one step at a time. Uh.

452
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.559
<v Speaker 2>And maybe this is a right step and the maybe

453
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a step in the right direction.

454
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:26.759
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

455
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you someone goes to church regularly or no?

456
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:32.599
<v Speaker 11>I do. I was always brought up to go to

457
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.640
<v Speaker 11>church regularly. My parents instilled that in May and my

458
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.079
<v Speaker 11>grandparents always always remained with the church and always go

459
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 11>to church.

460
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's going to be interesting. It's going to be

461
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>interesting to see if a church attendance this weekend is

462
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:53.559
<v Speaker 2>up or the same, because I would think that if

463
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.599
<v Speaker 2>there's a ever going to be a boost in the

464
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 2>American church attendance. You see some of it this weekend,

465
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I would think, but we'll see. It doesn't mean that

466
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>there'll be an increase at every church, but I would

467
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 2>think that some people might say, hey, American pope, let

468
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 2>me let me go back and give it a try.

469
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:17.440
<v Speaker 11>So, yeah, yeah, I go to Less Rocks.

470
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh sure, yeah, absolutely, I go to I go to

471
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Holy Names just up the street. Yeah yeah. So, uh,

472
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:28.599
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the most the most convenient one in terms

473
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>of the schedule, that that that I can find. And uh,

474
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.480
<v Speaker 2>it's tough to get to Saint Teresa's because you're gonna

475
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>drive all the way down Center Street and now it's

476
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 2>become it's it's almost impassable. You need to you need

477
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to have a passport. That street has just become virtually

478
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 2>It's true. But they needed more bike lanes on that street,

479
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Christine than no one to get through. Hey, great to

480
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.359
<v Speaker 2>hear your voice. Did you watch it live today? Were

481
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.160
<v Speaker 2>you watching live?

482
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.920
<v Speaker 11>I did? I watched it. As soon as they said

483
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 11>that they had they had reached that they had agreed

484
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:07.759
<v Speaker 11>with somebody.

485
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, once they saw the white smote, they knew

486
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 2>that it would take about an hour and then there

487
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 2>he was an American. Never thought i'd seen in my lifetime.

488
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>But hey, it's been a lot of things I never

489
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 2>thought had seen in my lifetime. But this is a

490
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 2>positive I think. Thank you. I'm so happy, Christine, thank

491
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you very much. You sound happy to talk Sesson. All right,

492
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 2>good bye, I got roof for a couple more six one, seven, two, five,

493
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.720
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

494
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>We had two really strong hours. Let's finish strong. Let

495
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.559
<v Speaker 2>me go to Will in Long Island. Will, how are you, sir?

496
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 6>I am a little shocked, honestly, you know, an American pope.

497
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:51.039
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's odd to me considering our secularism. You know,

498
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 6>I understand this is kind of a Christian Gudo founded nation,

499
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 6>but you know, I was raised Catholic. I go to

500
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 6>cal and Christian churches. I'm more of a Deist, not

501
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.599
<v Speaker 6>that I get my you know, my politics are based

502
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 6>on our founding fathers, not that I get my spirituality

503
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 6>from there. But a lot of them were deists.

504
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 4>You know.

505
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 6>The Catholic Church to me was always you know, there

506
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:21.519
<v Speaker 6>were some things in the rituals, in the extracommunicado and

507
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 6>the history of the church that kind of always put

508
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 6>me off a little bit. And growing up Irish Catholic

509
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 6>and Italian Catholic. You know, I still try to find

510
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:37.680
<v Speaker 6>my way back to any church that has Christian you know, roots.

511
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:40.759
<v Speaker 6>But I was a little shocked at an American pope,

512
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 6>considering that this is like a secular nation where you know,

513
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 6>we we do have sixty million Catholics, but we are

514
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 6>only twenty percent Catholic, when South American countries, like where

515
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 6>my wife is from in Colombia, is like ninety nine

516
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 6>percent Catholic.

517
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.200
<v Speaker 2>You know.

518
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 5>I also think that.

519
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.160
<v Speaker 6>There may be a little politicism to this, because you

520
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:05.279
<v Speaker 6>have an anti open border president and I don't know

521
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.799
<v Speaker 6>what this pope, if he'll have any political aspects, but popes,

522
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:13.200
<v Speaker 6>especially the last one, have been more open border and

523
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:16.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, preached the type of tolerance that you would

524
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:21.279
<v Speaker 6>expect a man of God to preach, right, because there's

525
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 6>a place for that in our world. We need that, right.

526
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 6>But I think that there may be some conflicts here

527
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:32.920
<v Speaker 6>with an American pope and a president that might not

528
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:38.480
<v Speaker 6>be seen by the Church in particular, especially the Vatican,

529
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 6>as being all too welcoming.

530
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you I disagree with you, and the

531
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 2>reason I disagree with you is. I think that the

532
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>US position of this is eminently defensible because if there

533
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>was an invasion of just hundreds of migrants into the Vatican,

534
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>into the into the the buildings of the Vatican, I

535
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>guarantee you that they would be escorted out.

536
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 6>Uh, then we have a giant wall, have a giant wall.

537
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Right exactly, No, exactly, but still they're there. But yeah,

538
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:16.960
<v Speaker 2>we're they They opened that, they open it up every day.

539
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a whole different attitude. You know, we

540
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.559
<v Speaker 2>have the Statue of liberty. We welcome the people who

541
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.599
<v Speaker 2>are the poor and uh, and the dispossessed and and

542
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the people who are in need and all of that.

543
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 2>But even when Ellis Island was going, we turned away

544
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:39.799
<v Speaker 2>people who were infected with tuberculosis and other diseases, and.

545
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 6>We turned as we turned away, you know, jees, the Holocaust.

546
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Yes we did, which we did, which was wrong, this

547
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the ship the Saint Louis. Absolutely we incarcerated Japanese Americans,

548
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 2>which was a huge overreaction, unjustified overreaction. But having not

549
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 2>lived in that moment in time, god knows what people

550
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:08.640
<v Speaker 2>were thinking. However, having lived in the time of unbridled

551
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 2>open borders, immigration. We see what happened. It was a mistake.

552
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.480
<v Speaker 2>It never should have happened. A country that doesn't have

553
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>borders doesn't have a country. And I think that I'm

554
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.359
<v Speaker 2>not you and I but I would sit with the Pope.

555
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.119
<v Speaker 2>And if I were Donald Trump, I think Donald Trump

556
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 2>could sit with the Pope and say, look, you know,

557
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.359
<v Speaker 2>we welcome people, we take in more. I want us

558
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to take in more legal immigrants. I want us to

559
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 2>we only take in we only naturalize about a million

560
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.319
<v Speaker 2>people a year. We're three hundred and thirty million people.

561
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.920
<v Speaker 2>We have a birth rate that is less than I

562
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.039
<v Speaker 2>think it's one point six percent.

563
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 6>You know, pointing out the yeah, pointing out the blatant

564
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 6>hypocrisy of the recent position of the vat again is

565
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, obvious. But we also have the bad in

566
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 6>and Catholic churches in particular, and Catholic charities that were

567
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.880
<v Speaker 6>funding and getting funding for a lot of the relocation

568
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:10.720
<v Speaker 6>of the migrants. All of this, in my opinions, tied together.

569
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:13.240
<v Speaker 6>But one more thing, just real.

570
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Quickly, many I want to make sure that I'm what

571
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.680
<v Speaker 2>you're saying. Catholic charities wasn't funding it. Catholic charities were

572
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.799
<v Speaker 2>being paid by US tax doll right to house rights.

573
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 5>Getting it fun.

574
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, but I'm saying Catholic Charities was benefited.

575
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:30.920
<v Speaker 6>Benefited, right, So that's what I'm saying, getting a vested

576
00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:35.359
<v Speaker 6>They had a vested interest in the in these illegal

577
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 6>immigrants coming in and then getting money from our government

578
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 6>to help relocate them and put them up and put

579
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 6>them here and move them there. And there's a lot

580
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.720
<v Speaker 6>of things going on in there that our side that

581
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:50.319
<v Speaker 6>we're on is the immigration uh you know system would

582
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:52.680
<v Speaker 6>not be happy with. Okay, And then just one more

583
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:54.839
<v Speaker 6>thing before I go. I don't want to rub it

584
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 6>in because a lot of you know, your your your

585
00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 6>fans over there, they know me and I love both.

586
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 6>But like, first off, not to have a pope from

587
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.160
<v Speaker 6>New York or Boston was shocking to me. But it's

588
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 6>going to be American and the other thing. Sorry about

589
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:10.400
<v Speaker 6>you know where the Celtics are going so far, but

590
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.839
<v Speaker 6>let's go next. You know what I'm saying.

591
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Then it's a seven game series? Am I correct on that?

592
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:18.079
<v Speaker 6>But it feels pretty good right now, you know what

593
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:18.359
<v Speaker 6>I mean?

594
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean. Don't get over confident. Oh

595
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, you may win, but wait until you win

596
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to really gloat.

597
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 6>Okay, because I know I've watched many of Boston take

598
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:31.319
<v Speaker 6>down the Knicks. Over is my lifetime.

599
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:36.599
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I understand position here. But I'll tell

600
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:39.799
<v Speaker 2>you if just remember, as I think the two thousand

601
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and four Red Sox said in one of the games,

602
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it was Game four, don't let us win

603
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.279
<v Speaker 2>this game.

604
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 6>Well, I was a Met fan. I'm a Met fan.

605
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 3>I was rooting for you guys.

606
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 6>I'm a Met fan.

607
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, go ahead, I understand, I understand the

608
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.799
<v Speaker 2>internecine warfare of in New York City. All I would

609
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 2>say to you is this, uh, that Game three is

610
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 2>a pretty important game, and if don't let you be twin,

611
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.559
<v Speaker 2>don't let the sap. That's my warning to you. Okay, Oh,

612
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 2>we plan on it.

613
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm hoping. I mean, you guys seem to blow those

614
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:13.839
<v Speaker 6>twenty point leads pretty good, so we're kind of hoping

615
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.240
<v Speaker 6>that that happens again, a little collapse.

616
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:19.640
<v Speaker 2>We'll say, we'll see. You know, we're we're certainly the

617
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 2>underdog here, so let's see what happens. And again, I'm

618
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>not a huge I'm not a huge basketball expert. I

619
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>have friends who played the game friends who played in

620
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the NBA, But I'm much more of a baseball and

621
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 2>a hockey.

622
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:36.359
<v Speaker 6>This is the only time I can enjoy the rivalry

623
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 6>with Boston because this is the only because in baseball

624
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.160
<v Speaker 6>my greatest memory. To be honest, I know it hurts,

625
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 6>and Bill Buckton seems like a great guy. But the

626
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 6>Bill Bonden play is like when as a metman, that's

627
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 6>just like I mean, it was I'm ten years old

628
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:51.759
<v Speaker 6>in nineteen eighty six. It was like the greatest thing

629
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:53.359
<v Speaker 6>that ever happened to us and led to a Game

630
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:55.359
<v Speaker 6>seven that we won. We won the World Series. So

631
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:57.279
<v Speaker 6>I have nothing but love for Boston, you know what

632
00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 6>I mean, until we get on that court down at

633
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.079
<v Speaker 6>the at the at the guard and then then it's

634
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 6>a different ball game.

635
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, We'll see what happens. Thanks, Thanks, will go

636
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>in here. Okay, I go one lineup. I got Johann

637

639
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.640
<v Speaker 2>and I got some lines open here. The lines have

640
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:20.960
<v Speaker 2>been crazy busy all night. If you have tried to

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:29.079

644
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>we won't be going back to this tomorrow night. We've

645
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 2>done three hours on it tonight, almost three hours. I'm

646
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.440
<v Speaker 2>very happy we did. I think this is a tremendous

647
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 2>story and it's a good story. Uh, there's not a

648
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:45.279
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of controversy about it, but and very really

649
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 2>do we do three hours normally we're doing three hours.

650
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:51.480
<v Speaker 2>We do controversial stories. Feel free to add your voice.

651
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a great day for the Vatican.

652
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:58.319
<v Speaker 2>It was a smart move by the College of Cardinals,

653
00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and I think it was a great day for the

654
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Night States to finally have a pope from America, from

655
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:08.079
<v Speaker 2>the United States of America in the Vaticant. We'll be

656
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:09.840
<v Speaker 2>back on Nightside right after the break.

657
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 1>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm w BZ

658
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:16.280

659
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we got a bunch of people and go to

660
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Johann or Johann in Richmond, Virginia. Johan, welcome, how are

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 2>you very good?

662
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.559
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, it's a pleasure to talking to you. I

663
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 5>was driving today. I had an unscheduled travel to Baltimore

664
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.880
<v Speaker 5>and anyway, I was profound your radio station. I certainly

665
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.679
<v Speaker 5>enjoyed the programming, and more importantly, I really appreciated how

666
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 5>you were interacting with your guests, and thank you certainly

667
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.599
<v Speaker 5>as one of the reasons that motivated me to call.

668
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:56.719
<v Speaker 5>And then put I guess throw in my little two cents.

669
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead, your first time call, and we're going

670
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.400
<v Speaker 2>to give you a quick round of applause if you

671
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.599
<v Speaker 2>don't mind. We had a virtual studio audience, digital audience. Here,

672
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 2>come on, let's go, Brian. You know where that button is.

673
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead, my producer, mister go ahead.

674
00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:15.079
<v Speaker 5>Johan, Well, thank you very much, and thank you for

675
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.039
<v Speaker 5>making me feel welcome. I wanted to mention I'm originally

676
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:23.280
<v Speaker 5>from South Africa. I migrated to as a little boy.

677
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 5>I always was fascinated with Americans. I found that I

678
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 5>found myself in the mornings three four o'clock in the

679
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:37.519
<v Speaker 5>mornings watching football games, baseball games and enjoyed it. I've

680
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.039
<v Speaker 5>also loved the fact that one of the things that

681
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.679
<v Speaker 5>drew me to America was Americans were always people that

682
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.199
<v Speaker 5>ran to problems and not away from them. And that's

683
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 5>one of the things that I said to myself one

684
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.760
<v Speaker 5>day when I go up, I'm gonna this is a

685
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.760
<v Speaker 5>little boy saying this. Now, I'm going to go to

686
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:59.039
<v Speaker 5>this amazing place where people go and solve problems, run

687
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:03.639
<v Speaker 5>to it and away from it. And then I obviously

688
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:07.679
<v Speaker 5>talking about the new pope, and to tie that into

689
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 5>all of this, it sounds like he hasn't had an

690
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:16.239
<v Speaker 5>amazing uh uh life in the in the faith, has

691
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 5>also been drawn to missionary work and running to problems

692
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:24.079
<v Speaker 5>and not away from him. So I'm really looking forward

693
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:27.239
<v Speaker 5>to all the wonderful work that he's going to be doing.

694
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 10>Now.

695
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a Catholic, but my kids were raised in

696
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:35.840
<v Speaker 5>the Catholic faith, and the Catholic organization has been very

697
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 5>kind to my family and very good to us. Is

698
00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 5>so obviously have a deep respect and and and love

699
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 5>for them. Obviously have seen the problems that has been

700
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.880
<v Speaker 5>created over time. And I'm not going to harp on

701
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.880
<v Speaker 5>on the negative stuff, but the positive is I see

702
00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:57.920
<v Speaker 5>a lot of folks tonight and listen to a lot

703
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.000
<v Speaker 5>of folks that is so very excited about the pope

704
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 5>being an American pope, and then that it seems like

705
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:09.800
<v Speaker 5>it's definitely affecting them, just like it affected me now

706
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:11.559
<v Speaker 5>that I'm a citizen of the United States.

707
00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad first, I'm glad you. I'm glad you're

708
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a citizen. I'm glad you're listening, Johan or Johann, and

709
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 2>please continue to listen. I got a couple of other

710
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:23.079
<v Speaker 2>callers who want to sneak in here under the wire,

711
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:25.920
<v Speaker 2>but I hope you will become a regular listener. We're

714
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to have you as a regular listener and caller.

715
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, I appreciate it, and thank you. And maybe somebody

716
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:39.559
<v Speaker 5>should tell the Pope the lines for the real IDs.

717
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker 5>He's very long. He's gonna that one yet he doesn't

718
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 5>have to worry.

719
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:48.320
<v Speaker 2>About that one. Thanks Johan, we'll talk again. I hope,

720
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Thank you, Pleasure, pleasure. Let me go, Robert,

721
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:55.559
<v Speaker 2>I got you, Tim and Dawn. Robert, go ahead, gotta

722
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:59.880
<v Speaker 2>be quick for me, buddy. Robert in New Brunswick, Canada.

723
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:03.920
<v Speaker 8>We talked briefly ten days ago or so. I'm gonna

724
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:06.119
<v Speaker 8>say very briefly, I'm a product from I'm going to

725
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:09.440
<v Speaker 8>give a bit of a positive pr for Catholics. That's

726
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:14.719
<v Speaker 8>not a well known story. Okay, go ahead, the Bath,

727
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.039
<v Speaker 8>the Bath priests that started the Mondragone Cooperative in the

728
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:23.960
<v Speaker 8>Basque region of Spain. Okay, that that area was devastated

729
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.840
<v Speaker 8>after the war, after the Spanish Civil War, and that

730
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:34.679
<v Speaker 8>guy created the cooperative that's literally like the most important

731
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:39.199
<v Speaker 8>industrial component of the Spanish economy. I'm not sure if

732
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:45.920
<v Speaker 8>they're still running, but they were very significant, uh, aspect

733
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 8>of that society rebuilding like from from it was a

734
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 8>completely destroyed area. Good And no people would research this

735
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:59.960
<v Speaker 8>because all you're getting is negativity. Negativity, And I'm a

736
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:03.199
<v Speaker 8>talk and trying to tell you people, tough people as

737
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:06.840
<v Speaker 8>much as possible got it's not all doom and goom.

738
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.039
<v Speaker 8>There's a lot of good things have been done by

739
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:10.840
<v Speaker 8>Catholic Church.

740
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:13.920
<v Speaker 2>And all right, Robert Robin, we know that I hate

741
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.079
<v Speaker 2>I hate to break you here, but but I thank
