Hello and welcome to Capacan's live on this Friday afternoon. Thanks so much for being here with us. Maybe it's Friday evening where you are. Maybe it's even a Saturday morning. Hello to James our friend who listens on Saturday mornings and the Philippines.

And everybody around the world who listens. Thanks so much for being here because we sure like doing it. We're at our conference today, so a little pre-recorded show today about, well, about all kinds of things because the questions are already in and they're from our society 315 members, society 315, the main giving society at Calacans was support us with monthly pledges of $10 a month or more. And those folks at any one who pledges $10 a month or more as part of the society 315 and all kinds of

benefits come with that. And you can find out about that at see a society 315.com see a society 315.com. But among the benefits, if you think of it as a benefit is you get to submit your questions to Michelle who runs the society who organizes it. And then we get Joe Hashmire in here to answer the questions from society 315. Joe Hashmire, of course, apologists here at Catholic answers and the proprietor of the shameless popery podcast.

Formerly the shameless popery blog you can find that it's shameless Joe.com and also the author of a bunch of books, including the new book The Eucharist is really Jesus. Joe Hashmire, thanks for being with us.

Good to be here and for all those listening, greetings from the past.

Exactly, you're by locating right now. I think I've just returned to Kansas City after delivering what I hope was a great talk.

It was so good. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, thanks for starting off the conference with it in such a big way, Joe. It was really.

I would have loved to stay with you, but we've got a new baby. I'm assuming by this point and you're going to get back to the baby.

Yeah, the baby number three. Congratulations, Joe.

Thank you.

And the Eucharist is really Jesus. I had to explain to you what a second printing is on this. You didn't know that a second printing is a good thing for an author.

It's really popular and I'm glad, really popular, including you mentioned to me earlier a one day on the air that the Archdiocese of San Francisco, about a thousand copies to share with people who minister in the in the Archdiocese.

And it's a great contribution to this whole Eucharistic revival that we're all praying for.

And you know what, for other diocese, I would like to encourage you to a little bit of rivalry. You should out do San Francisco.

Why stop at a thousand? Yeah, exactly.

I mean, do the non-Catholic members of your diocese not need to know about the Eucharist? Why not get one for everybody?

Yeah, you should just, the whole diocese should be giving these away on the street corner.

I think if you buy a thousand copies, there's this bulk buying and it's very inexpensive per copy. It's not like you're paying full price at a thousand copies.

I'm not getting rich off the deal. It's just trying to get it.

You're just getting popular. Yeah, exactly.

You know, and if I got to choose my temptation, I'll take the temptation of popularity over wealth.

Oh, you and I are complete opposites on that. I never knew that.
