You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Greetings young Squire Sprouts. Today is the third day and the ninth month in the year of our Lord 2022. My name is Sir Roland Paterlaught, and you're listening to Saturdays with Sir Roland

on Catholic Sprouts where every Saturday we discuss the art of dragon slain. Today is the feast day of St. Gregory the

Great. St. Gregory was born in the year of our Lord 540 and greatly influenced Christianity of

the medieval times, and you all know that I like medieval times. After a time of famine and plague

and war and unrest, the world needed a new leader, and the church looked to St. Gregory,

and he became Pope in the year 590. He is known as the Great, because he not only was a great

pope and uniter, but he was a prolific writer. He started monasteries, he advocated for the poor,

made liturgical reform such as where we say the our father during the Mass. He advocated

for church unity and obedience to Holy Mother Church, and he's thought to have started Gregorian

Chant, which is named after him. I absolutely love listening to Gregorian chant. St. Gregory is the

patron saint of musicians, singers, students, and teachers. And so Young Squire

Sprouts, if my math is correct, and I think it is, we are halfway through our series on the

Ten Commandments. We've discussed the first five commandments, and today we move on to the Sixth

Commandment, which is, now shall not commit adultery. Now, adultery is kind of an adult sin,

as the name implies, because it involves

the sacrament of marriage, which I'm guessing most of you kids out there aren't married yet.

Although I'm sure there might be some 20-something kids still listening to Catholic sprouts,

and I'd like to give a shout out to all of you. Thanks for listening.

Now, Jesus addresses the sin of adultery a number of times in the Gospels. So what is adultery?

Well, in Luke 1618, Jesus defines it. He says,

Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
