Hello and welcome to Cathergantz's Live. I am Sy Kelly at your host. Thanks so much for

0:19.6

being here with us on this Friday afternoon or Friday evening or Saturday morning, depending

0:23.9

where you are. We're very glad you're here. Thanks for taking the time. I'm not going

0:27.7

to give out the number today because we've got some stuff already cooked up with second

0:33.9

hour. We're going to do the game show. So hang around for that. It's always fun when

0:37.0

we do the game show on a Friday afternoon. And the first hour, we're going to do dropped

0:41.1

calls. So this is something we do with Carlo and Carlos in and only with Carlo. Sometimes

0:46.4

you know, we a call will drop. We don't want to blame anybody for this. We don't want

0:50.6

to blame the host of the show for accidentally hanging up on the person. But sometimes it's

0:54.8

a call that we wanted to take, but we lose the person before we get to take their call.

0:59.4

So what Carlo cleverly invented was, why don't we just gather up those and we'll do a show

not quite, we'll discuss that. But meeting the Protestant response, how to answer common

1:23.9

comebacks to Catholic arguments. That's the one we got right here. But the new one, Carlo

1:28.7

will tell you about hello, Carlo. So I kill it. Thank you for being here. Oh, thanks for

1:33.1

having me, buddy. And so tell me about the new book, the relativism book, because what

1:38.2

I'm realizing is we're pre-recording this. And I didn't know will that book be out

1:44.0

by that time? Will it? Will it? I don't know. Okay. So we'll just play that we're pre-recording

this, because we are actually on retreat today. It's our Lenten retreat day. So the staff
