| 0:31.3 | Hey there, Spouts. Today is Thursday, December 14th, 2020. Today is also the feast day of St. John of the Cross. Now, we're going to talk about him a little bit more today, but before we get there, |
| 0:36.5 | please join me in reciting the family |
| 0:39.0 | prayer for Advent, which we are learning this month in the Be a Saint Kids Club. In the name of the |
| 0:44.8 | Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. God of love, your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us. He is a sign of your love. Help us walk in that love |
| 0:58.5 | during the weeks of Advent as we wait and prepare for his coming. We pray in the name of Jesus, |
| 1:06.0 | our Savior. Amen. So this week on the Catholic Spouts podcast, we are talking about the virtue of peace. |

| 2:30.5 | But then in the 1500s, a man named Martin Luther, another named Calvin, and various others started to break away from the Catholic Church and form Protestant denominations. |

| 2:53.3 | And for this reason, we know that Protestant churches do not enjoy the fullness of truth that we do as Catholics. |
