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

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

Hello and welcome back to God's planning.

I am Father Gregory Pine coming at you from Freiburg Switzerland. That's F-R-I-B-O-U-G-G-B-O-G. Yep, translated from French, it means the place where I am presently.

So it's helpful whenever you identify yourself as from this city because it's always true.

And I'm joined here by Father Bonaventure Chapman.

Father Bonaventure, how are things?

They are great.

I was just thinking, as you mentioned, Freiburg, that's the city of free citizens

or something, right?

I think so. Freiburg. So you're a free citizen and I'm from

I'm in Washington DC which is the city of slavery at least political slavery because

nothing we do we have no representation here

which is fine to be honest and that's not a bother to me

but yeah a sense of you actually having saying anything and uh...

no we're so unfree that even cameras have more freedom to take

money from us not only can people take money but cameras can take money from us as

we drive in this city but dear listeners that might be true for you as well in your cities.

Yeah. That's a shame it's a real shame and but it's named after

what it is Washington's town so it's named after George Washington so that's

that's nice better than it like an abstract principle, like freedom, I suppose.

It's nice to have a picture of a six foot two man with a giant hat, you know.
