Summary

In this episode, I welcome back Fr. Gregory Pine. Rather than focus on a single topic, we just kick back and talk about all sorts of things, such as: - St. Thomas Aquinas' tips for memory retention. - What priests should—and should not—talk about in their homilies. - The politicization of words such as "mercy." - How to discuss heaven and hell. - Right versus wrong ways to approach tradition.

0:00.0	Good day, Father Gregory. How'd do? Do well. Good to have you in studio. Hey, delighted to be. Thanks.
0:06.0	Are you living in D.C. now? I am, yeah, for the summer. Oh, okay. That's why. So in Dominican land,
0:11.5	you can be assigned directly or indirectly. I'm assigned directly in Washington, D.C., and then
0:17.8	indirectly by reason of study in Freiburg, Switzerland. Sweet.
0:21.0	Yeah.
0:22.0	How's it been?
0:23.0	How's the doctorate been?
0:24.0	Is it progressing?
0:25.0	Yeah, it is.

0:39.0	like classes to take and then exams and candidacy and then a proposal and the prospectus and
0:43.7	then the writing and then the subsequent defense. Whereas in the European system, it's just like
0:47.8	you propose something at the outset to a person. That person says yes. And the understanding
0:52.6	is like you kind of are already motivated by the
0:55.8	project. So you just go to write. That sounds like a better option. It's great. Easier option. Yeah,
1:00.7	yeah, yeah. I mean, there's a formation, obviously, that comes with classes, exams and stuff. And it ensures
1:05.2	a kind of consistency among doctoral candidates. We're in the European system, it's just like,
