It is Free For All Friday here on the Council of Trent, and we have something returning.

0:20.9

Ask Me Anything. Something we haven't done in a while, and I have a new format for it that I think could work really well. I've been trying to find the right format for being on Catholic Answers Live, and I don't want to answer the most interesting questions on Catholic Answers Live. And sometimes when we have live callers, you don't get the most interesting questions. But I know where I can get interesting questions from our patrons at trendrunpodcast.com.

0:25.5

And I wanted to do ask me anythings with them for a while, but I didn't see how I could fit it in with

0:30.0

the normal production schedule for Council of Trent itself to be able to do that.

0:35.9

But I'm excited to do this. I wanted to be rotating one hour a week. I'll be on Catholic Answers Live, doing an interview with Sye, and then taking questions just from our patron. So if you want to ask me a question, go to Tronoron Podcast.com. I want to share with you today some of those questions that were submitted to us. I do apologize right off the bat. I am working with Catholic

Ansters Live to try to make the audio quality better. They have me do a particular live streaming

software to record with SIE. And I don't like it because as you can, you'll listen to,

1:05.2

my voice is much more compressed than it would be on the rich microphone I have here in the studio.

1:10.0

I don't know why it's doing that. I might try to get them to use Rivers have here in the studio. I don't know why it's doing that.

1:12.0

I might try to get them to use Riverside or some other program. I don't know, but I'm not sure why also it's just me. It seems like nobody else has that problem. But yeah, just, I still think they're good answers. I want to share it with you. This is something, though, for future asks me anythings. I very much want to remedy.

1:29.1

So I hope this is helpful for you all.

1:30.9

Thank you guys. This is something, though, for future Ask Me Anythings, I very much want to remedy.

1:29.2

So I hope this is helpful for you all.

1:30.9

Thank you guys.

1:31.7

And yeah, if you aren't, consider becoming a patron at trendornpodcast.com to ask me all kinds of questions for future episodes.

1:38.1

And now, ask me anything on Cathagans's Live.

1:40.8

Trent, what are your thoughts on embryo adoption?

1:44.9

This is bad because I really should have more thoughts on this question.

1:49.4

Well, I'm very torn. I am actually the editor of an anthology on human embryo adoption that was

1:57.3

just published by the National Catholic Bioethic Center. I'm one of the co-editors of the

2:00.8

anthology. So we wrote the opening summary to the book and then organized the book that has probably
