This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. I am really happy to be back in Saskatoon.

I was happy to bring my son as well.

We had a great week.

It's such a great community here, the guys that come to their workshops just to discover

these big Catholic families and these very vibrant young men.

I was inducted into the Bowtie Society, as you can see, by these fine young men over

here.

So we'll see how long that will last.

But at least while I'm in Saskatoon, I will wear a bowtie.

So last year when I came, I talked about beauty, and I talked about the possibility of restoring beauty in a world of ugliness.

And so this year, I was given the title of the fool, how the fool

participates in the restoration of culture. And it's something that I've been thinking about

for quite a while. And so hopefully it's going to be very different because now we're going

to talk about foolish things, but hopefully it will all, in the end, turn back towards this restoration that we hope for.

When we look around the world right now, we see some very strange things.

We, if we're attentive, we notice that the world seems to be drowning in folly, drowning in even an aesthetic of a kind of an ongoing carnival.

This year, or was it, I think it was last year, last year in a Norwich Cathedral in England,

they put this giant helter-skelter carnival ride in the nave of the church.

Yes.

What?

That's exactly how you should react to that.

And the bishop gave a talk from the top of the helter-skelter.
