And Hello and welcome back to Catholic answers live I am Cy Kelle at your

host as promised for the Sebastian Walsh is our guest this hour and you may have heard about the new

document from the Vatican, Dignitas Infinita and we'll get the correct pronunciation of that from

Father momentarily but you know as with everything that

comes out of the Holy See it got a good deal of attention but in particular

things are getting a close scrutiny these days, even documents that might otherwise not get quite as close as scrutiny.

And so we thought, well, who's best to give us a close up look at this document,

what it means, and about how to read such documents?

Father Sebastian Walsh is a Norbertine priest of the Abbey of St. Michael

up in the Diocese of Orange and he's a graduate of St. Thomas Aquinas College here in California and they are they graduate lots of

wonderful people you should check them out he's also a graduate of the Catholic

University of American Washington DC where he received his license in philosophy. He went to the

pontifical University of St. Thomas in Rome. He can't get away from St. Thomas.

That's the Angelicum. Where he got a master's in Sacred Theology and

a doctorate in philosophy and that's a lot of good preparation for talking about a

papal document. Father Sebastian Walsh, thank you for being here.

Oh, it's my pleasure, Cy, it's good to be back with you.

and the doctrine of St Thomas Aquinas.
