I'm going to be honest with you, I wasn't sure if I should do this episode today.

I mean, this is a sensitive subject in general, and it is an important one to talk about.

But I don't know.

This is a really, there was a disturbing thing that happened to me.

And I wondered is this a story should I share?

Is it appropriate to share?

Am I, I don't want to just be sensationalistic or anything like that?

And so I prayed a lot and I was just praying and thinking, is there good that can come out of this where I could help others?

And I think there is.

So that's why I want to talk about this today.

But this is, this is a tough subject in general to talk about.

So just fair warning for people tuning into today's episode that I'm going to be talking about a sensitive subject.

And I'm going to be talking about something disturbing related to that, that happened to me.

But I want to do so in a sensitive way so that this can be a service to others that might be faced with something like this.

So that's all I want to talk about today.

For those of you who don't know me, by the way, my name is Trent Horn.

I'm an apologist and speaker at Catholic Answers.

This is the Council of Trent podcast.

And so today I want to talk about the issue of suicide and what the church teaches specifically about suicide.

Because some people might be confused or don't know exactly what the church teaches.

This could lead to misunderstandings.

And it can lead to very painful things and painful misunderstandings of what the church teaches on this subject.
