Well, welcome back to Catholic Answers live. I'm Psych Hill at your host as promised. Tom Nash is our guest. Tom Nash, if you want to know

0:23.0

What did Jesus do?

0:25.0

Tom Nash would be the guy to ask that question. He wrote the book of that title and other books and he's been a long time in Catholic media, including

0:35.0

Due to theology for EWTN and various other media outlets. And that is why I'm going to ask him to start the following question.

0:43.0

First of all, welcome Tom Nash. Thanks for being here with us.

0:47.0

Good to be with you, Psych. Can you hear me all right?

0:49.0

I can hear you fine, but here's my question for you. All right.

0:51.0

All right. Did you ever meet Mother Angelica?

0:54.0

I did meet Mother Angelica on several occasions. In matter of fact, the first time I was a mere 24 years old, it was I was working for the CBS affiliate in Montgomery, Alabama.

1:07.0

So about 90 minutes, 90 miles south of Birmingham, Irondale, where she's based. And I went up there a couple of times for EWTN live and got to meet her.

1:18.0

And I have what I believe will be in the not too distant future, a second class relic because she said signed a photo of herself, which has said Jesus loves you, Tom.

1:29.0

And she was right about that. She was right about that as like as she was about so many things. Jesus does love you, Tom.

1:36.0

I'm glad that he does. I mean, if he didn't, I'd be in trouble.

1:42.0

The number here is 888-318-7884. It's an open form. Ask whatever you like. 888-318-7884. But now here comes the hard question, Tom. Do you know why I asked you about Mother Angelica today?

1:54.0

Because it's the hundredth anniversary of her birth.

1:58.0

Man, you are good. Were you listening to Cresta before you came on here?

2:02.0

Well, I knew that I think I could have gotten it off the top of my head, but I saw a little note that, yeah, because we used to celebrate that.

2:12.0

And I know that her centenary is coming up. I know Raymond Arroyo is going to be tonight on the world overlying.

2:20.0

Well, he better. Yeah, good reminder to check it out. Yeah.

2:24.0

I mean, he really has no choice in that matter. I mean, Raymond can do what he wants, but he can't ignore.

2:30.0

And Raymond doesn't need any I think encouragement to with regard to Mother having written about her so well.

2:38.0

And she encouraged him. I mean, she when he interviewed her asked him to come on. So it's one of those rare situations where Raymond was interviewed her.
