Hello, and welcome to Cattle Gansers Live. I am Psy Killett, your host. Thanks so much for

0:21.3

being here with us. And it's a great pleasure to get to be with you, and we have quite

0:25.8

a special show for you today. I mean, it's special. It's always special when Trent Horn is here

0:30.5

in second hour. Trent Horn will be here, and we'll do open forum with Trent and you can ask him

0:34.4

anything that you want to ask him. But sometimes people ask us, why do you stay in California? Why

0:41.8

are you a Catholic, a possible in California? Why don't you move to a state that's more welcoming

0:46.2

to Catholics? And you know, maybe we will someday. I don't know, but the truth is we're not persecuted

0:53.3

here in California. We're, you know, it's not a Catholic-friendly state or Christian-friendly,

1:01.5

in particular, in its government governance, but we're not in any way persecuted. But like you,

1:06.9

we are increasingly concerned about our persecuted brother and sister Catholics

1:37.1

this on the evening news. It doesn't make the evening news except in the most extreme cases,

1:41.8

and that's very unfortunate because that takes the suffering of our fellow Catholics and turns

1:47.0

into something that, well, disappears. It is not known and it's not valued, but we need to know it.

1:53.0

And then what I hope will be kind of a series that we'll do here, maybe an occasional look in

1:58.3

to various places around the world. We wanted to spend some time considering Nigeria today.

2:04.4

You are very welcome to call. If you have questions about the life of the church in Nigeria,

2:11.1

if you maybe have concerns about what you could do, or just like to know more about our brother

2:19.4

and sister, Catholics in Nigeria, 888-318-788-4. Triple-8-318-788-4. And to help us talk about Nigeria,
