Hello everybody and welcome to clerically speaking.

I have with me today, Dr. John Grabowski.

He has written several books.

He is the professor, a professor of moral theology and ethics at the Catholic University of America.

He's in a few little side gigs like serve as theological advisor to the USCB.

Pope Benedict appointed him to the Bautifical Council for the family along with his wife.

He was also appointed by Pope Francis

to serve as an expert on the 2015 Synod on the family. But most importantly, some years ago,

he taught marriage and family life at Catholic University of America where I was a student.

Definitely his crowning achievement. Good morning. Dr. Grabowski, how are you doing?

Good morning, Father Anthony. It's great to be with you. Thanks. So first question, very important one. So you went to

and thank you for properly putting in perspective my work and my career. That's, I appreciate that.

You know, I try to take this job very professionally. So I try to do my research on

things. Speaking of which, so you were a Steubenville undergrad. Is that correct? That is correct.

And so when you were there, was it the same as it is now in that Pittsburgh is the capital of Steubenville, Ohio?

Oh boy. I'm going to get myself in trouble.

Pittsburgh was kind of the only urban oasis within reach for us on that campus back in the early

1980s.

So capital, I don't know, but go to place if you wanted to be in a town larger than, you know, a small rust belt town, definitely.

Yes.

So we'll take that as a yes.

Good, good.
