and all that.

And we on this show have to talk about serious issues like mortal sin sometimes.

And so we get questions about sin.

So we thought let's just do a show about sin, about mortal sin, about the consequences of mortal sin, about the message of joy. I mean, really, there's no point talking about it all without, if you're not going to talk about the fact that God has made a path. He has opened away that we can avoid all these things. And even if we have not avoided them, we can come to his mercy constantly over and over and over again. So it's a joyful thing to talk about. So we thought we'd talk about sin. We said, who are we going to get to talk about sin? Let's get an expert on sin. Somebody who really is a top-notch world-class expert in sin. Tom Nash, thanks for being here with us. Hopefully I could do. You mean that from the abstract. I mean, I meant from your

studies. Did I make it sound otherwise, Tom? Did I make that? I apologize if that came off the

wrong way. No, no, no, no. Just as a the theologian, just to clarify for the other people.

People are going home, no, good choice, good choice. Right. But in a certain way, we're all experts in sin if we're honest. I mean, we're... And this is, I think, too, where Bishop Sheen, who venerable Sheen... Soon to be blessed Sheen. Yes. He talks about who knows better sin, the person who has wrestled with it or has given into it blindly.

And if you wrestle with it, you resist it.

And this is, of course, too.

He's so good.

They should do something with his works.

I mean, they really, that guy should be promoted.

He is so good.

He is.

And it's similar to our friend, San Ignatius of Loyola, the great spiritual direction, that came from a lot of trial.

Yeah.

Not listening to the whole thing of desolation and the good spirit and the bad spirit.

The bad spirit is always one who's going to promote agitation, despair, etc., etc.

So, well, all right, so we'll never make a major decision in turmoil.
