0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Cappagance's Live. I'm Psych Hill at your post. Carla Brusard is our guest
0:22.5	and we're going to talk about overcoming obstacles to Catholicism. What's holding you up from becoming
0:29.2	into Catholic? If you're not a Catholic, is there something in the way that maybe we could help move
0:35.8	out of the way? Or maybe you don't think anybody could move it out of the way, but you just like to
0:41.2	talk about it. We love talking about these things. 888-318-788-4. Carla Brusard is our guest. No,

1:52.6	moral commands that when you unmask them, you actually see that it's nothing but old-fashioned
1:59.5	relativism. Indeed. It's new in so far as is masked behind the absolute verbiage. Right. I
2:07.6	shall not be a white supremacist. I shall not be intolerant judgmental, bigoted, bigoted, etc.
2:13.4	But when you pull the mask away, relativism is there. And then I coach you in strategies as to
2:20.5	how to refute that relativistic thinking in a charitable but persuasive and clear way.
2:27.6	So that's what the new book, The New Relativism is about. Also, what's new about it is that
