Hello and welcome to Catholic Answers live. I am Cy Kellett, your host, delighted to be with you. As a matter of fact, just talking a minute ago with Darren about how the, whether we made the matches yesterday. And he said we made matches both hours. It took us a little while after the top of the second hour to make the matches. So I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who helped us make it through and do what I think was just a very,

very fine pledge drive. People were very generous to us. So thank you for your generosity.

Thanks for supporting Catholic Answers. And as promised, we won't come to you again for months

to ask you for funds. As we like to say, we only do it four times a year and only for

six hours. And even then, we try not to use the whole hour. So I do want to say thank you,

though. When we get through one of those, it is extremely gratifying how generous people are.

We try to be very, very conservative in the spending of money, but we think we

get a big bang for your buck, and we're grateful that you shared it with us. Thank you very much for

that. Jimmy Aiken, our guest this hour, second hour guest, Jimmy Aiken. So you can ask him anything.

Ask him whatever you want. Yeah, I've been talking for like 30 seconds, already four out of the six lines are full, and I haven't even given out the phone number yet. I think people look on the calendar. They know when Jimmy's going to be here. 888-3187-884. Triple-8-387-884. Jimmy Aiken is senior apologist here at Catholic Answers, the author of a whole bunch of books, including a Daily Defense, 365 days plus one to becoming a better apologist.

Jimmy Hagen, thank you for being here.

Hey, it's my pleasure, Cy Kellett. Happy to be back.

Yeah, thanks for doing the Pledge Drive with us as well. I very much appreciated your contribution to that effort.

Yeah, no problem. And it's something that needs to be done. And so we try to keep it to a minimum, but we get it done.

We got the job done. Jimmy's also the patron. Not the patron. That's the wrong word. He's the proprietor of Jimmy Aiken's Mysterious World, one of the most popular corners of the podcasting world.

And it's Friday.

What dropped today, Jimmy?

What dropped today on Jimmy Ekin's Mysterious World?

So one of the things that I've talked about periodically on Mysterious World is psychic functioning, and this is something that I've talked about periodically on mysterious world is psychic functioning,

and this is something that I've talked about from multiple perspectives.

Like I've talked about how St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope St. Gregory the Great, among other

doctors of the church, believed in psychic functioning.
