Bussard today, and you are welcome to calls.

As a matter of fact, I say call now if you want to get your question in 8883187-884.

We're going to do the whys of Catholic belief today, and this is always a popular one,

and so I do recommend go ahead and pick up that phone and call.

Like, why do you can't, well, you could say you Catholics if you're not a Catholic,

or why do we Catholics, if you're a Catholic, believe this?

And, you know, there's no shortage of Catholic beliefs.

We've got whole books listing them, catechisms, and that kind of thing.

So if there's something where you go, why does the Catholic Church believe in the Trinity?

Or why does the Catholic Church believe in confessing to a priest?

Or whatever it is, you are welcome to call 8883187-884.

Dr. Carla Bussard is the author of the brand new book, The Saints, Pray for You. That is

the truth, and it is awful good news. Welcome, Dr. Bursard. Hey, Sy, thanks for having me, man.

I heard you're traveling this week related to your doctorate. That's right. You and your wife Jacqueline are going to Ireland.

Yeah, we're going to head to Ireland for my graduation ceremony.

So I will be formally receiving my doctorate in philosophy.

So we'll have a mass in the ceremony, get to walk and all that fun stuff, wear the garb, fancy hat, and take some pictures

and celebrate this great achievement of God's grace and getting the doctorate.

That's wonderful.
