| 0:00.0 | Oh man, I've got a bad cold today. Should we do this? |
| 0:03.3 | Let's do it. |
| 0:18.4 | You're listening to the Taylor Marshall Show episode 57 is St George still a saint. What about St. Christopher? St. Philomena. These Saints are no longer on the calendar. Are they still Saints? Can you un-Saint someone? |
| 0:27.6 | We're going to talk about that and plus much more including our tip of the week and Latin order |
| 0:32.3 | the week in this week's episode. |
| 0:37.0 | Howdy and thank you for tuning into the Taylor Marshall Show. |
| 0:40.0 | This is the podcast for everyone who wants to create daily habits and learn enough theology |
| 0:45.3 | to take their faith to the next level. |
| 0:49.0 | And you may have noticed that I've got a bad cold, a cold and so my sinus passages are all clogged up and so I sound |

| 1:44.1 | It's kind of confusing because the Catholic Church, since the Second Vatican Council, has removed |
| 1:50.3 | some saints from the liturgical calendar. So certain Saints days, for example, |
| 1:56.4 | April 23rd is the Saint Day of St George, is no longer celebrated as the feast day of St. George. |
| 2:06.4 | And of course, this begs a question for many people. |
| 2:09.5 | Well, is he still a saint? So we're going to look at this question today from three angles. |
| 2:17.4 | The first is historical. The second is liturgical, and the third is theological and don't worry I'm definitely going to |
| 2:27.7 | explain why St George is depicted with a dragon and why you should take that seriously. |
| 2:35.2 | So if you ever wondered, what's up with that dragon in the icon of St. George, |
