0:36.8	Senior Apologist here at Catholic Answers. World Traveling Defender of the Faith, the author of
0:42.8	Behold Your Mother, Biblical and Historical Defense of the Marion Doctrine and Nuts and Bolts,
0:49.3	a practical how-to guide to evangelism. And also a whole bunch of other stuff that you can
