Well, welcome back to Kathy Gance's Live. I am Si Kelly, your host, he delighted to be here with you and so grateful that you're here with us. Thanks for being here with us because we really like doing this very grateful to the callers and want to encourage folks again who

0:29.5

may feel like, oh, I don't know, I don't want to take up their time. There's other callers that, no, no, if you have something about the Catholic Church, it doesn't make sense to you. And you're helping us, if you call because that's what we'd like to talk about 888-318-7884-8831-Truth.

0:45.5

We saw the author of, I don't know, pop, there must be a half dozen books by now. And the latest one, the new relativism. And you can get it now wherever you, you know, relativism, it doesn't always admit that it's relativism. I think that's the underlying theme of the book. And if you're looking at the morality of the world today, the kind of moralism of the world today. And you're saying, what is the root of this? Carlos says it's actually relativism. And once you know that, you get a clearer sense of why

1:15.5

it's using tactics like bullying and canceling and all of that kind of thing. Have I got it about right there, Carl? Yeah, that's about right. Brother, you got it.

1:24.5

Man, though, you're the easiest to apologize to work with. You are the others would all correct me. 888-318-7884 is the number. Maya, before I went to the break, had a couple of concerns. And one that we didn't give you time to get to. And I did want to mention it because I've heard it from a couple people.

1:44.5

I've seen some articles about it that there was a sense of disrespect of the Eucharist at the World Youth Day in Lisbon. And there were two different events. And as always, the pillar reported on it very, very well.

1:57.5

And made clear these were two separate events with two separate explanations. And I don't know if you had you heard about that, Carla, had you heard about that?

2:05.5

So I, to be honest, I was unfortunately unable to follow up and do research on that. So whatever light you can shed on that, all I know is I saw a picture and there was a headline.

2:20.5

And that's all I know concerning that event. I don't know anything that goes beyond that. So all I can say is that if the picture I saw was what was happening, I would be concerned with that.

2:33.5

And I would express frustration concerning the lack of reference for our Lord and the Eucharist.

2:38.5

But whether that was actually happening in that particular place and that particular event, I don't know the surrounding circumstances.

2:46.5

So if whatever light you can shed, feel free, because it was plastic bins, you know, and people kneeling.

2:51.5

I mean, if our Lord was in those things, man, I mean, it's like, come on. I mean, no, that's not.

2:57.5

You know, it's very frustrating. Yeah, very frustrating. We need to, but I did get this and giving reference to our Lord that there was a plan and not everybody on the ground followed the plan and which sometimes happened.

3:10.5

So I don't, I think it's fair to say, yes, that should not have happened, but it's also fair to say, I think that in most of the tents that they had for adoration, it did not happen.

3:21.5

That this was a deviation from the plan. That's my understanding. And I hope that that's, that's the case.

3:28.5

Because it is disturbing. I mean, especially at a time when people have, you know, there's a kind of.

3:36.5

Oh, I don't know if it's suspicion of the authorities of the Catholic Church and, and of kind of frustration with them over lots of things.

3:44.5

People look at that and goes, just another one of those things. And I think to some degree it was, but what seems to have happened is there was a good plan or at least a better plan than that.

3:54.5

And it was not followed in all instances. So Maya, thank you very much for bringing it up. If I have that wrong, you're welcome to crack me.

4:01.5

Oh, you're, you can always reach us send an email to radio at Catholic.com. I'm just giving you my understanding of what was reported about it.

4:08.5

8-8-3-1-8-7-8-8-4. Is the number, why don't you think Catholicism makes sense? Caleb's in Illinois.
