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

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

Hello friends and welcome back to God's explaining. This is Father Patrick

Mary Brisco and I'm joined today by the great the one the only Father Bonaventure

Chapman. How are you Father Bonaventure? I'm doing great. There is only one of me I suppose that's how

hexeties work. So persons there's only one of me I suppose that's how hexeties work so persons there's only one

but I'm glad to be the only one it would be weird if there was more than me I suppose

so I'm glad the multiverse is aren't true. I'm glad that time travel isn't true. I'm glad all these things are true.

So there's only one. I don't have to keep track of other people that are me.

So that's great. And yourself?

You're basically a tigger. that's what I'm thinking of that

song from Winnie the Pooh where tigger is just delighting in the fact that he's the

only one I'm the only one well so you're centric I suppose but

so your your your interpretation was certainly more nuanced and intellectual than the

bouncy bouncy,

fun, fun, fun, fun, song for children

that was running through my mind.

But I'm great.

I mean, one thing that's interesting about in this episode

is that Father Bonaventure and I live together in the same house, but we are not together for this episode in the same house.

I am preaching a retreat for seminarians here at the San Alfonso Retreat House, which is exciting.

It's the first retreat I've preached to seminarians, and no one has left yet.
