| 0:26.2 | Hi, Sprouts, it's Danielle from Fem Catholic again. |
| 0:30.2 | Today is Tuesday, November 23rd. |
| 0:35.1 | We are talking this week about the women doctors of the church. |
| 0:38.9 | Remember that this isn't like the doctor you visit for a checkup. |
| 0:45.8 | It's a saint who is also a special teacher. Doctors of the church help us understand what the church teaches, and there are four women doctors of the church. Today we're talking about |
