I'm Cy Kelle, your host.

Thanks so much for being here with us on this Wednesday afternoon.

Maybe it's Wednesday evening where you are.

Maybe it's even Thursday morning where you are.

And as we like to say, wherever you are, we're glad you're here with us.

I'm going to give out the number because we're taking calls today.

8883-.884.

Second hour, Dr Matthew Bunsen will be here with us.

And if you're at all a consumer of Catholic media,

you know Dr Matthew Bunsen.

He's the vice president and editorial director of Ewtan News, and we'll talk about

the news of the world from a Catholic perspective with him.

If you got questions about what's going on in the Catholic Church, what's going on in the world,

and you want to talk with someone who truly has the finger on the pulse, as they say, of all that stuff, and can answer questions from a truly informed Catholic point of view.

Dr Matthew Bunson is your man and you should call a second hour.

First hour, you know, we hear an awful lot about globalism and we I don't know that we all know exactly what it means

but we do know you know there's the global village and the world is getting smaller

and are are we know that the goods that we consume, the foods we eat, even the fresh foods that we eat now because of transportation and refrigeration and all these advances can come from very far-flung parts of the world to our table.

So what's the Catholic response to all of that?

What's the proper way to, or is there a proper way to live as a Catholic

amidst all that globalism is there such a thing as localism and what would it mean

and is it more Catholic than globalism we will talk to Father Michael
