Hello and welcome to Catholic Dance's Live. I'm Cikella, your host is happy as can be

0:20.0

to be back here in front of this microphone. Thanks so much for being here with us. Say,

0:24.0

if you're a Catholic today, I'd say hold off, because we're going to leave all the lines

0:28.0

open both hours for non-Catholics. It's an open form for non-Catholics. So we are calling out

0:33.9

to our non-Catholic friends, brothers and sisters and saying, we need you to call with your

0:39.0

questions today. Otherwise, it is going to be the dullest of shows. If you're not a Catholic and

0:44.4

you have a question about the Catholic faith, you are welcome to call 888-318-788-4. And that means

0:52.0

anybody, if you're not a Christian at all, and you might be interested in the person of Jesus,

1:38.4

Is that what it is? Yeah, I'm getting ready. I'm starting to prepare myself to head down there

1:44.3

to Australia. I should probably get a keybie to go on the other side, because I'm also going to

1:50.0

New Zealand, which, yeah, do you know what New Zealanders, people from New Zealand are called New Zealanders?

1:56.4

And when you meet them, this is what they say. We're not the same country as Australia.

2:00.5

I feel like maybe just start the conversation some other way. You don't always have to start with,
