  Speaker 1: Confirmation is okay. When you're baptized in the Catholic Church,

  Speaker 1: Uh, all the all the individual parishes do their own.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Uh, you don't do it like a chuck a Ramar.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: No. We were at Saint Ambrose last night and uh,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and it's a big deal because the bishop comes to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I thought you said this was Catholic stuff.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: No, No, the Catholic bishop, bishops. Yeah, Bishop Soulis, who's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: just adorable. And I was sitting there in I mean,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm the I'm the resident Catholic, but I never go
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to Mass.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I just I don't this Bishop Soula.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But I was sitting there and I know patriotic isn't
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the right word for it, but I was feeling patriotic
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: about the Catholic Church, just with everything going on with
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the Pope lately and him kind of sparring with President Trump.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You didn't, you didn't stand up and rip your bodice
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and scream I love Pope Leo.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't, But I was feeling that. And I know
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: there's probably a word for when you feel that way.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: About you are feeling overcome, like yeah, yeah Catholics.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And there's a couple of different things that are going
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on in relation to that. So sixty minutes on Sunday,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: had a big interview with a bunch of the US
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Conference of Catholic Bishops. Okay, talking about what's going on
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with the Trump kind of.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Attacking Pope Leo, not kind of.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Here's what the Catholic bishops had to say about that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just war theory, meaning there are just wars. Here is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: such a thing as a just war. And it's that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: long tradition that the Holy fi they're carefully references in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: his comments on war. A constant tenet of what a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: thousand year tradition is that a nation can only legitimately
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: take up a sword in self defense once all peace
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: efforts have failed. That's when a war is just everything
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that Trump is saying about Pope Leo, Oh, he's soft
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: on crime. Do you think's nuclear weapons.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Are He's never said anything of the kind.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: No. Here are some of the things he said. Blessed
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: are the peacemakers, but woe those who manipulate religion in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the very name of God for their own military, economic,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or political gain.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: That you could say is taking the Lord's name in vain.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: He's talked about immigration, talking about loving your neighbor, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that your neighbor is not just your next door neighbor,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the country next door.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Every time that Pope opens his mouth, he proofs how
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: woke he is.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Weeks Pope Leo has significantly sharpened his rebukes on the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Warren Iran and the Trump administration is not happy about it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And this could have been a boner candidate. The Trump
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: administration has abruptly canceled an eleven million dollar federal contract
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that helps shelter and care for migrant children who enter
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the United States without a parent or legal guardian. So
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: picture little tiny, scared kid all by themselves, showing up
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: at the border. Catholic Charities is a charity that part
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of their mission is to help those children that show
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: up at the border with no parents. You'll bring them in,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: find them a place to live, and take care of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: their healthcare issues.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You see why they call him Pope snowflake, don't you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Church officials say the sudden loss of funding could force
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the organization to end its operations tied to migrant children
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: within the next three months. That's idiots taking it out
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on on.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Little kids.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's hideous, but it's also what he does.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: My My favorite thing in all of this is is JD.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Van saying, you know, the Pope really has to be
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: careful what he says about theology, because because because JD.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Vance knows theology better than the pope.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, he's new to it. He's he's studied it,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you know, so he's he's he's written a book about
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: his conversion. So clearly he knows more than the pope
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: who's studied most of his life.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's just I don't I don't understand. Trump posted another
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus picture of not him as Jesus.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: No, it's a Jesus get that makes people angry when
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I do that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: So instead of Jesus that way, I'll do it Jesus
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in another way.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus. Look, is Jesus given me a big hug.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus is with me.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It's doctor Jesus right here, doctor Jesus.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But but the Catholics have been a lot of them
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: voted for Trump, they did, but.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: They're Pope Leo's brother is apparently a.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: TRUP supporter, but they are they are turning on him
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: because this this new poet is beloved by the church.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And particularly well the fact that he's American. American Catholics
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: are the ones voting, and many of them voted for
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: for Trump's policies. I think that may be turning around quickly.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's it's just astounding to me that that
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: he thinks that he can pick a fight with anybody.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody, including the Pope.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You can pick a fight with a news anchor, sure,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you know things like that, but.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: The Pope, you think you can win that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Well, and all the Pope.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Is saying is, yeah, well let's give piece a chance.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: How about that? Yeah, you know that thing that Jesus
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: talked about.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Oh wait, you didn't read the New Testament.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, well it's a it's uh, it'll just be I wonder,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I wonder is that as it's not quite
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: as high up as Trump can go in the in
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the the things he attacks, I'm expecting him at some
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: point to really just go hand to glove against either
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Jesus or or Jehovah. Just let I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: box with God. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: just I'm gonna take God on.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Next we're gonna have a big U c W event
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and the steps of the White House and I'm going
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to fight Jesus.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But the bishop, Bishop Solace was so adorable last night. Well,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at the end of Mass, there were a bunch of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: little kids there, and you know, not only does the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Pope wear a funny hat, but the bishop wears a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: funny hat. He was he was taking his hat off
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and letting kids wear it and and take a picture
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Was so cute, so cute. If you do that, they'll
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: stay Catholics.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's you know, it's you know, it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's inspirational, like, oh, you mean.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I could be well, this hat is his hat isn't
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: blocking the sun or anything.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I could be the bishop someday. But it was.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: It was a nice evening. Uh. Then my my sister
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and her husband took me out for a for Mexican
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: food after. So that's also very Catholic, like my Catholics. Yes, yes, don.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Was audio from the Actually, so does all them Muslims
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in your family, They just pretend you don't They don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: know you when you do this.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: The Muslims are the other side of the family.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Deathlics.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: My father in law. One of his favorite things was
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: on Christmas eve. He would stay up. My father in
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: law's Muslim. He would stay up and watch the midnight
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Mass from the Vatican that they broadcast every year.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: He loved it. It's like the pretty colors and stuff,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: fancy hats and everything.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Muslims and Catholics, I saw something else today
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: where people were, you know, because this is the woke pope,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: we're saying, I can't believe he let them build a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: prayer room in Islamic prayer room at the Vatican. And uh,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a bishop commented on that and said, there's a prayer
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: room there.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Because so even bishops make that noise that women make
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: when they're.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Being said that the Vatican Library is open to scholars
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of all kinds and uh, if you're a Muslim scholar,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you got to pray five times a day.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So what you're saying is there's always been a prayer
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: room there.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's a it's a recent recent edition, but
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that that they have a place where they can go
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: where they're not going to disrupt people by just stopping
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the life.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: There's always been an opportunity for them to go someplace, yes, yes,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and pray. And this is just a new addition.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, well, why don't we give you a little
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: private space where you How why would the Catholic churchill
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: out because we're there.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: They're some of the Muslims were complaining that they were
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: getting tired of doing it in the men's.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Room, so that you're I mean probably there's part of that.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I have to go into the stall to do it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It's it's okay. You can have your religion and still
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: be kind to other religions.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: This just n jd Vance says that Colonel Sanders should
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: be more careful when talking about fried chicken.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: What did I did? I see it at the movie
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that Colonel Sanders commercial where he's dancing and doing magic.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And I don't know doing magic.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I have to look this up now.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: And Semen Dave not being a Catholic as curious. Does
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a bishop's miter act like the sorting hat and Harry Pottery.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Talks kind of? Yeah, it talks.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Tells you what order you're gonna That's what I'm worried about,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: is what it's going to say to me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody says, as a resident Catholic listener, growing up Catholic
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: made me liberal because.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: He paid attention to what they were teaching.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Catholics should just be it's basically, be nice to people.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: That's it's people.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they lead those parts out, you know, it's nice.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Colonel Sanders I was talking about, there was
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a new commercial. It's called Colonel Sanders the finger Licking Machine.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: That sounds odd.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't do that. It's not real. It's uh, it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: pretty funny actually,
