Welcome to God's Blaining, contemplative preachers, contemporary age.

Each week joined the Dominican friars as they consider all things Catholic.

All right, welcome to God's explaining.

My name is Father Bottementher,

and I'm joined by Father Gregory Pine,

who is at least five feet away from me.

Father Gregory, I'm in Washington, D.C.

Are you more than five feet away from me?

I am more than five feet away from you. I actually looked up the distance from

Washington DC to Switzerland recently. That's something I think it's like

4500 miles if I'm not mistaken. Whenever someone says if I'm not mistaken that means that they're pretty confident,

but in this case I'm not confident because I just don't remember.

But yeah, I'm a few feet away from you.

The neat part about that, I don't know if you did in Google,

you can then toggle like which mode of transport you might be able to so two things about that for you is you might have the boat option which I have never used

But secondly you could toggle that to walk and then see how it calculates water walking.

Like how many days, how many days slash years, maybe, I don't know, how how long would take to walk from Switzerland to

Washington DC? Yeah I am so what we say 4500 miles the community of

Santiago is like 500 miles and people take like a month to do that.

So let's say that it'd take me nine months

of continuous walking on flat Spanish earth,

which has been transported continually over the Atlantic Ocean by miraculous means.
