0:51
A Hey, y'all, welcome today's show. Today we're going to get into
1:03
the fore most important tenets of our faith. I don't know it was tenant
1:08
the right word. Professions of our faith certainly the thing by which we identify
1:14
ourselves, the things by which we define our beliefs. And it will be
1:21
Father Spirago's exposition. I think it'll be a nice word exposition on the apostles
1:26
Creed. So look forward to that, you know. Before we get into
1:30
that, we'll get a little too from radio replies. And today the questioner
1:38
asked the priest, can you show from scripture that Christ intended this perfect development
1:44
of the Mosaic religion to be distinct from the religion of the Synagogue. This
1:49
is a very controversial topic of our time, especially the Torah observant so called
1:57
Christians Seven Day advis Venice, a few others, a lot of like the
2:04
polygamous groups and such, believe that all Christianity that doesn't observe the Torah law
2:13
is we're all Satan worshipers, from the Catholic Church to the Anglican and Methodists
2:19
and Lutheran all of us. Because they believe that Judaism can be somehow mixed
2:28
with Christianity. There's a whole group of people who call themselves Messianic Jews.
2:35
Let me tell you my Jewish friends do not like them at all. There's
2:38
a big distinction between Judaism and Christianity, even though we have similar roots,
2:44
just as much as there is between Islam and Christianity. Yeah, we have
2:49
similar roots. I've been a real nice fellow just a few days ago at
2:53
the grocery store. Where was he from Kuwait? Maybe he kind of wearing
3:00
the pajamas, you know, like they wear in Afghanistan and all that,
3:05
and so I knew immediately he was Islamic. And we just started chatting while
3:09
we're waiting in line at the grocery store. And I mean we shook hands,
3:15
call each other brother. I mean, it was no issue whatsoever,
3:19
and there need not be there. I mean, you know, we can
3:21
treat each other with respect. It's just you know, they tend to kind
3:24
of blow people up and you know, shoot people at But I know,
3:29
some of the very best people I've ever met have been Muslims. Some of
3:34
the best people I've ever met have been Jews. But a Jew and a
3:37
Muslim a Christian are not the same religion, and we really do need to
3:40
respect that among each other and not try to act like we're, you know,
3:47
believe the same things because we don't. It's really it's a betrayal of
3:52
your own religion and an insult to theirs to act like with a universalist mentality
4:00
Unitarian universalists. You know everybody worships the same god. Well, first of
4:05
all, not everybody worships the same god. A Hindu and a Christian certainly
4:09
do not. Hindho has several gods, a Christian has one. A Buddhist
4:15
may not worship a god at all and still has a valid religion. Yeah,
4:21
their difference is well, let's see what the priests say. Yes,
4:26
referring to the future, Christ said, I will build my church. The
4:30
synagogue was already established. Christ prescribed a new doctrine, new modes of worship,
4:35
and a new form of authority. He even predicted to his apostles in
4:41
the synagogue you shall be beaten. The intended distinction of his church from the
4:46
prefigurative synagogue was most clear. See I don't understand how you toure observant Christians
4:53
as such can read the New Testament and not understand that Christianity and Judaism a
5:00
distinctly different religions. I mean, having you know, the Christians the younger
5:05
brother to the jew That's what the Catechism says. But they are distinctly different
5:10
religions, different laws, different authority, different teachings, different Sabbath. We
5:15
go to church on Sunday because it's the day Christ rose from the dead.
5:21
That is such a so symbolically rich in his establishment of a new man,
5:26
a new religion, a new church, a new Sabbath. You know,
5:30
Pope John Paul a Second said, Christians are Sunday people. Christians are Easter
5:34
people. Easter Sunday. The day that Christ rose from the dead was the
5:39
demarcation, the defining line between all that had come before. I mean,
5:45
you know, that was the symbology of the veil being ripped in half in
5:47
the temple. When our Lord died on the cross he lay in the temple
5:51
during the Jewish Sabbath. He took upon him the day of rest, the
5:58
penalty of sin, which was death for all creation, the full force of
6:01
the law, and on the first day of the week rose again to give
6:05
us a completely new everything, not just a new religion, a knew everything,
6:12
a new world, a new universe. A person goes on, in
6:17
what did the religion of Christ differ from that taught by Moses. In the
6:21
answer, Christ retained all the basic laws of religion and morality contained in the
6:28
progressively revealed Jewish preparation, abolishing only the particular rites and ceremonies which were purely,
6:34
purely figurative, and also the imperfections of religion very important. The early
6:40
Church fathers say that you know much of the law of Moses, much Leviticus,
6:45
and such was more like the parables that Jesus was teaching than laws that
6:49
would be to be interpreted literally. Saint Barnabas and particularly Saint Irenaeus probably maybe
6:58
even more so, but on great length about how the Jewish dietary laws were
7:02
symbolic, and circumcision absolutely not necessary, etc. Etc. A person says,
7:11
if Christianity is the true development of the Jewish religion, why is it
7:15
not the religion of the Jews today? Why did not the Jews accept Christ?
7:17
And they say many individuals did. In fact, about half of all
7:21
Jews became Christian in the first three centuries of their own accord. No enforced
7:26
them. They recognized that Jesus was the Messiah is the Messiah as a race.
7:31
The Jews did not. However, this was not because Christ did not
7:34
sufficiently prove his mission, but because leaders of the religious thought and teachers of
7:39
the people had lost the true religious spirit, had selfishly transferred their affections to
7:45
a love of their own high places, and had substituted the idea of a
7:50
magnificent temporal ruler for the idea of a spiritual savior. They wanted deliverance from
7:57
the tyranny of the Romans and helped upon them in turn. Since Christ did
8:01
not fit with their earthly notions and ambitions, their leaders rejected him. The
8:07
majority of the people, dependent on the scribes, upon the scribes and pharisees
8:11
for religious direction, obeyed these leaders their own fears and their national pride.
8:16
The first members of the Christian Church were individual Jews chosen by Christ to spread
8:22
his doctrines among the gentiles, and this in accordance with Christ's own prediction of
8:26
the parables of the Great Supper, where the first invited would not come.
8:31
Indeed, an earlier warning had been given to the Jews their birthright would pass
8:35
to the Gentiles if they did not overcome their attachment to earthly ideals in the
8:39
incident of Esau's selling his birthright to Jacob. Although Christianity should be the religion
8:46
of the Jews, therefore it is not through their own fault as a race,
8:50
the modern Jew takes his religion for granted without inquiring deeply into the questions
8:56
some do. Sure, I've also known very, you know, deeply religious
9:01
Jews who fully believed that Judaism was right and Christianity was not wrong. They're
9:09
actually very respectful Christianity, and not all are, but my friends were,
9:13
but they thought that we were just misguided, you know. And then others.
9:16
I mean, I've told you about an ex girlfriend of mine who desperately
9:20
wanted to convert to Catholicism, but couldn't face the rejection of her family.
9:24
They would not accept her becoming Christian. She would literally be like, what's
9:31
the word? What the homis? Stew of people when they're they won't talk
9:37
to her, they won't mention her name. They cut her out of all
9:39
family history. And she couldn't do it. She couldn't lose her brothers or
9:43
sisters, her friends or parents, her grandparents. You know, you got
9:48
to understand that that's human. And Jesus foretold that. He said he was
9:52
be the sword that would divide family members against each other. So I mean,
9:56
I can't blame her. She just couldn't do it. She loved her
10:01
family more than her convictions, and I mean, you know, she'll have
10:05
to answer for that. But certainly probably the hardest choice one could possibly have,
10:11
other than you know, if you were dividing against your own child,
10:15
you know, so seriously, I mean, it's a big deal to convert
10:18
from Judaism to Christianity, and especially Catholicism, because you know, Catholicism is
10:26
the one that's been around for two thousand years. That's like, I mean,
10:28
you can some people kind of like a Messianic Jew and they say,
10:31
well, I think maybe Jesus was the Messiah, but I want to continue
10:35
my own Jewish tradition that's really actually heretical to both Christianity and Judaism. But
10:39
they made that compromise to actually become a Catholic. It's a big freaking deal.
10:45
I mean, it's hard for a Protestant to become Catholic. I can't
10:48
imagine what it'd be like to be. You know, a Jew from thousands
10:54
of years of tradition and heritage, and you're just cut off. You're ostracized.
11:00
I mean, come on, anyway, shunned, that's the world word.
11:03
So the person continues. God treated the Jews unfairly. It must have
11:09
been difficult to comprehend the teachings of Christ. He offered them no material benefits,
11:13
and true Christ did speak imparables. We cannot really blame the Jews of
11:18
his time for failing to understand his teaching. He was very purposely obtuse,
11:24
and he said so to the apostles, he said, I'll speak plainly to
11:28
you, But because they rejected the prophets, I'm just basically talk to them
11:31
in riddles. So I mean, yeah, he mate it tough on them,
11:35
definitely. But they make clear God did not treat the Jews unfairly.
11:41
They had every opportunity given them to recognize the truth. Christ offer them the
11:45
evidence of many miracles in the material order, and before their eyes. They
11:50
could not deny these miracles, but in their bad will ascribe them to the
11:52
devil. They said Jesus was possessed by a demon, and that was the
11:56
sin against the Holy spirit Romis came to offer eternal spiritual benefits, the only
12:03
lasting ones, the only ones which the grave cannot take from us. Had
12:07
he not offered such benefits, the Jews would have been justified in rejecting him.
12:13
But that he did not offer the material benefits he did not come to
12:16
give can never justify the Jews and the rejection of him. So we'll pick
12:20
up some more on that tomorrow, and we'll go ahead and get to Father
12:24
Spirago because there's several more questions this person has about the relationship between Judaism and
12:31
Christianity. And it's quite enlightening. As I've said before, Radio Replies as
12:37
a three book series from nineteen thirty one through about nineteen sixty, and I
12:43
mean it's just classic apologetics, plain simple, forceful questions and answers that really,
12:48
you know, if you wanted to be able to defend your faith,
12:52
and we all need to be able to do so, as Father as Sparaga
12:54
pointed out last week, really important to read such books. And then you
12:58
know works by more modern authors Scott Hahn and different ones. There's so many
13:01
great writers on apologetics these days. And you know my book Confirmation Autobiography of
13:07
faith isn't half bad either, if I do say so myself. But as
13:13
pride goes before a fall, and I do not wish to fall, I'll
13:18
turn back to Father Spiago, who's it Under the topic of the Apostles Creed.
13:24
Beside the Apostles Creed, which is repeated at baptism, there is also
13:28
the nice scene creed composed by the Council of Nicea in three twenty five and
13:33
enlarged at the Council of Constantinople. Modern day Turkey. And what a terrible,
13:41
terrible fate that is. You know, all those you know, leftists
13:45
that want to talk about Christians and even Jews as occupiers of Islamic lands.
13:50
You know, maybe check out the history of Istanbul, Turkey. That's Christian
13:56
land that was taken by Muslims. And isn't it odd they don't seem outraged
14:01
about that in the least. And a lot of people killed to this day,
14:07
a lot of persecution against Christians in Turkey. It's pretty horrible, It's
14:11
absolutely horrible. It's a Erdigon is a member of the Muslim brotherhood. He's
14:16
an Islamic fascist, he's a Sharia he would impose Sharia law on everyone.
14:24
And he's a socialist. But you know what do you expect socialists in America
14:30
aka Democrats side with radical Muslims in Iran and Turkey and Armenia and many places.
14:39
Liberalism is a mental disease. I say that liberalism is a mental disease
14:46
that is suicidal in its nature. The people, the so called enlightened of
14:50
America want to destroy America and put their own lives in well, they don't
14:56
care. I mean they abortion, they exterminate their children without a thought.
15:01
So I mean, yeah, it's a mental disease. It's a mental disorder,
15:05
and it threatens to destroy civilization itself. I mean Christendom feil essentially due
15:16
to the ideas we now call liberalism. Whether it's you know, the Enlightenment,
15:22
it's socialism, communism, Nazism, fascism, progressivism, it's all the
15:28
same thing. It's all the lives of the devil from the very beginning.
15:33
Seriously, it is the Masonic Order, it's the Tower of Babbel. And
15:39
I mean Saulolensky Rules for Radicals, the great communist book of the nineteen what
15:43
early seventies, late sixties, It was like seventy two when it came out,
15:48
it could be wrong. He dedicated the book to Satan, the first
15:52
rebel, as he called it. I mean, they're pretty dagum open about
15:54
it. If you actually read their stuff. Cloward and Piven bring down the
16:00
system by flooding it with illegal immigrants and put them all in welfare for what.
16:04
What's the imp goal of that going to be? Everybody's going to be
16:07
poor, everybody's gonna be living in the projects and the slums, starving,
16:11
crime everywhere. But they wrote a whole book on it, and then,
16:18
I mean that was the thrust of Barack Obama's presidency, was Cloud and Vivin.
16:26
You know, it's a suicidal mental illness. Essentially, it's a in
16:32
many cases, a genocidal mental illness. It's a homicidal mental illness. It
16:37
is utter insanity. Anyway, Okay, so we are. Let's see,
16:45
we just talked about the Council Constantinople and as you remember from they might be
16:51
giants, It's says Stanbul, not Constantinople. A cool little band they were.
16:56
I love eighties new wave music. That's just like the stuff when I
17:00
was a kid. I was born in seventy seven, so I heard a
17:03
ton of punk rock and new wave music coming up, you know, growing
17:07
up as a kid. I mean to this day, if someone said,
17:10
what's your favorite rock band, it would probably be the Ramones or the Talking
17:12
Heads. Yeah, Motorhead, you know, heavy metal band. You know,
17:22
I just I got that weird taste of music because when I was born,
17:26
I was actually born the same year as punk rock was. That's nineteen
17:29
seventy seven. So let's see the creative Pope Pious the Fourth, which contains
17:36
the teachings of the Council which Trent, and was published by the authority of
17:40
Pope Pious the Fourth in fifteen sixty four. Some editions have been made to
17:45
it by the Vatican Council of eighteen seventy. The Nice Seeing Creed is repeated
17:48
on certain days by the priests and the Holy Mass, and the Creed of
17:52
Pope Pious the Four has to be repeated by a convert when he is received
17:57
in the church, and also by parish priests when they enter into their b
18:06
n eifi ces. I'm not sure I pronounce that, but of course all
18:11
that changes for Vatican two. As far as I know, I did not
18:15
have to recite the creed of Pope place the fourth when I was confirmed to
18:18
the Catholic Church. So I'm assuming that's all, you know post Vatican two.
18:22
It could change before them, because you know was probus Books eighteen nineties.
18:29
But anyway, the heart of it, the three things we confess are
18:33
still all the same, he says. The Apostles creed contains in brief all
18:37
that a Catholic must know and believe. In his few words are contained the
18:42
mysteries of the faith. It is like the body of a child which contains
18:47
the limbs of a full grown man, or like a seed that contains the
18:49
tree with all its branches. It is called in Latin the symbolum or distinguishing
18:56
mark, because in early days the recital of it was the mark by which
19:00
a man was recognized as a Christian. No one was admitted to present,
19:06
to be present in Holy Mass unless he knew it by heart. That's that's
19:08
something we've really forgotten in modern times. Those who were not confirmed Catholic were
19:15
not allowed at Mass. I mean, Protestants now get offended because they can
19:21
attend a Catholic Mass but are asked not to receive the Eucharist. That's for
19:25
their own good because Jesus said, those who received My body and blood unworthily
19:30
commit a sin against essentially guilty of his murder. And you know, the
19:33
repriest or or your Catholic friend is supposed to kind of explain that to you,
19:38
so you don't commit a mortal sin by receiving the Eucharist unworthily, ie
19:42
not being a confirmed Catholic who believes in the true body and blood of Christ
19:48
being President of the Eucharist. Even into the eighteen nineties, non confirms Catholics
19:56
would have to leave the church during the Eucharist. I mean, I'm sure
20:02
that would shock many people today, but I mean it actually makes sense,
20:07
and it was actually sort of part of what we would call the the mystery
20:11
of our religion. It made that maybe seem a little more special, and
20:17
that's not a bad thing. We're talking about the most sacred holy thing there
20:19
is God. So I mean, for the uninitiated not to be present during
20:26
the Eucharist, it makes actually a lot of sense. And I mean even
20:32
the use of Latin as opposed to the common tongue of the country like English
20:36
and America, it continues to give that mystery that the initiated understand, and
20:42
the uninitiated don't. I know, that's not like democratic. That sounds un
20:48
American. But democracy is not a good thing. Democracy is three wolves voting
20:55
to eat two sheep. I mean democracy. America's founders are public. I
21:00
say. This is someone whose great great great grandfather was the only Catholic signer
21:04
of the Decoration of Independence, the first Bishop of America. They did not
21:08
want a democracy. They wanted a republic, a republic under the rule of
21:12
law, not mob rule. That's what the progressives and the democrats have given
21:18
us. The socialists, the atheists anyway. The apostles creed. Okay,
21:26
let's see, no one was meant to be president and masterless. He knew
21:29
it by heart. It could not be divulged by any unbaptized person. It
21:34
is called the symbolum because as being the watchword of the Christian warfare, remembering
21:41
that Christians are in battle against evil, and this was our creed, this
21:45
was I mean. I really think traditional Latin mess and pre Vatican two traditions
21:52
of the Church are vastly superior than what we have now. But it's not
22:00
might say not m I say at all. The apostles Creed is so called
22:03
because it originated with the Apostles, the whly Apostles, before they separated from
22:07
each other. From one another, I should say, establish a certain and
22:12
fixed rule of teaching, so that it might be the same in all different
22:15
countries where they preached. Yet it is only the outlines of the Apostles Creed
22:21
that dates from the Apostles themselves. Between their time and the year six hundred,
22:26
a number of new clauses were added in order to meet various heresies.
22:32
Thus the words creator of heaven and earth were added to meet the Manichean doctrine
22:36
that the world was created by the principle of evil. The word Catholic was
22:41
added to distinguish the Church from the sects around her. The influence of Saint
22:45
Peter in drawing up the Creed appears from the fact that the principles which are
22:48
developed in this in his speeches, as recorded in the acts of the Apostles,
22:53
are those which are found in the Creed. It was required before baptism
22:57
as evidence of witness for the reception of that sacrament. I'm sorry, fitness
23:03
for the reception of that sacrament, and actually long before the Apostles, Creed
23:07
was ever formalized. We have the d da Ka the Teachings of the Twelve
23:11
Apostles, and you will find it essentially identical. The Apostles Creed is the
23:18
synopsis, it's the short version, it's the you know, the bullet points.
23:22
The d do K is not a long document, but it's too long
23:26
to be memorized by most people. The Apostles Creed may be divided into three
23:33
several parts. The first treats of God the Father and Creation of The second
23:38
Treats of God the Son and our Redemption. The third treats of God the
23:42
Holy Ghost and our sanctification. The Apostles Creed may be divided into twelve articles.
23:48
An article is a member of belonging to the whole, as a limb
23:52
belongs to the whole body. The articles of the Creed are so called because
23:56
of their inseparable connection with one another. As you cannot take away one of
24:02
the links of a chain without the chain being broken, so you cannot take
24:04
away one of the articles of the creed without the faith being destroyed. Extremely
24:08
important point. There are various images in the Old Testament of the twelve articles
24:14
of the Creed e g. The twelve precious stones on the breastplate of the
24:18
High Priest, the twelve lows of the proposition that's in Leviticus. The articles
24:23
of the Creed, which we should wear around our breast, I E.
24:26
Should believe and confess, should be like the stones of the High priest breastplate,
24:33
shining and spreading light around the number of articles of the Creed is the
24:37
same as that of the Apostles of our Lord, and is intended to remind
24:40
us that they contain the doctrine taught by the twelve Apostles. Every Christian should
24:45
know the Creed by heart. It should be repeated every day in our prayers
24:49
by way of renewing and strengthening our faith. It is confirmed, it is
24:56
and of confirming the covenant we entered on with God at our baptism. It
25:00
is a shield of our faith by repetition of which we can extinguish all fiery
25:07
darts of the most wicked one. And that's a reference to Ephesian six sixteen.
25:14
So we're going to get into twelve articles of the Apostles Creed. We'll
25:18
spend several days on this. Consider today an introduction, But God willing you
25:26
all know the Apostles Creed, And if you don't do so already, do
25:30
make an effort please to say the Apostles Creed every day. You know,
25:33
it should be part of your daily Rosary. And there's nothing more important except
25:40
perceiving the Eucharist that you can do in a day than pray the Rosary.
25:45
So we also do the Creed in the Divine mercy Child, every single thing
25:51
a Catholic does begins within the name of the Father and the Son and the
25:53
Holy Spirit. And all of our beliefs, all of our core beliefs,
26:03
are summed up in the Apostles Creed. And by remembering it every day,
26:08
it makes us devout, it makes us loyal, it enlightens our minds.
26:15
And I mean, you know this was the Creed is formulated by the actual
26:22
apostles of Jesus Christ, the men, the eleven plus Saint Paul and well
26:30
what's his name anyway, but just the plus Saint Paul and the two that
26:34
came with him. Those who hear you hear me, and those who reject
26:41
you reject him who sent me so really really important, really important, And
26:51
I absolutely recommend you get a copy of the d DA K I'm named.
26:53
Sure if in eighteen ninety Father Sprago knew of the d DA K there were
26:59
several copy of it found in the nineteen hundreds, he may not have even
27:03
known, you know. And what a wonderful enlightenment to our faith. Literally,
27:07
the dk was the one of the main well, okay, one of
27:15
the main documents that convinced me to convert to Catholicism, because I looked at
27:19
it and said, if this is what the early Church actually thought, believed,
27:23
and practiced, there's only one church on earth that still believes, thinks,
27:27
and practices this. There's only one church I can walk into. That
27:32
is the Church of the Apostles, and it's the Catholic Church. There's only
27:34
one eu Christ. And all that I would have to say that faith came
27:38
before understanding. I was convinced, I think, moved by the Holy Spirit
27:48
to believe in the truth of the Catholic Church before logically accepting it on historical
27:56
evidence. Well, it's it's sort of like what Saint Augustine said. He
27:59
said he loved the biblest theologians of all time, but he said, I
28:03
would not believe the Bible or the Word of God unless the Catholic Church taught
28:07
me. So you know, like I said the other day, Jesus gave
28:12
us teachers and preachers, not writers. And you know, he gave us
28:18
a church, not a Bible. So the Church gives us the Bible,
28:22
and we can believe in the Church even if we really don't have intellectual understanding
28:30
of all these various historical documents over the last two thousand years. And you
28:36
know, blessed for those who believe but not seen. So I mean that
28:40
really is believing in the Word of God, because God guaranteed his Church,
28:44
not a book, even if that book is the wonderful, you know,
28:48
venerable Bible, not historical evidence, not even the teachings of all the early
28:53
church fathers. It was the teachings of the original twelve the Apostles, which
28:59
we'll see in If you have the Bible in the d DA KA, you
29:02
pretty much got it. Yeah, And so it's cool. It's great to
29:06
have the d DA KA. But probably hundreds of millions of Catholics have believed
29:11
in the Catholic Church and all the teachings of the Church without the d DA
29:14
KA, just through oral tradition. You know, people weren't always literate,
29:18
I mean universal literacy is only about two hundred years old. Meanwhile, the
29:25
Church is over two thousand years old and the oldest still standing intact human institution
29:30
on earth, because Jesus said it would stand forever until he comes again,
29:33
and it will. And in my opinion, he's not coming again for about
29:37
four thousand years, and the Catholic Church will remain unchanged, undefeated for the
29:47
next four thousand years through all kinds of trials and ups and downs. Jesus
29:51
said, the gates of Hell are not prevail against his Church, and they
29:53
won't. I believe fully that all Protestant churches will pass away by that time.
30:00
Everybody's going to be either Catholic or not Christian at all. I believe
30:03
that most Jews and Muslims, if not all, will become Christian by that
30:10
time. I may be wrong, but we are so not to the end
30:15
of time, Shet we are. So things are going to get a whole
30:19
lot worse, for they get better. But as our Lord said, those
30:22
who endure to the end will be saved. So endure, endeavor to persevere,
30:29
as as Abraham Lincoln both famously and perversely told several leaders of Native American
30:38
tribes. He was not not a kind man toward the Indians. Let's just
30:47
put it that way. But that's neither here nor there. That's not even
30:49
a topic for this podcast. Well it might be an known it's the uncensored
30:55
Catholic. Anyway, I don't like Abraham Lincoln. Sorry. If you were
30:57
taking school that he was like the great emancipator, actual history would show you
31:03
he was a general genocide, a war criminal, many depressive, salvermental illness,
31:08
didn't even really like black people at all, and really hated Indians.
31:14
So, uh well, we'll get into that maybe sometime in the future.
31:18
But I know, I just offended, like you know, half of my
31:21
listeners, if not more. I'm just telling you, you read the documents.
31:23
He is not what you're taught in school, not at all what you're
31:27
taught in school. He was a racist, bigot and a very very bad
31:33
man who really did horrible things to you know, my family, and yeah,
31:41
pretty bad actually. So anyway, y'all, lea's move on. We'll
31:44
talk about more more religious topics tomorrow and then save politics and history for another
31:48
day. Have a great one. In the words of Saint Padre Pio,
31:53
pray, hope and don't worry and I will talk to you next time.
