we have to take a radical, that means to every knee shall bow, your weekly Catholic

podcast on evangelization. My name is Mike Gomer Gormley, and I am here alone. Dave had a teleconference visit with one of Amber's doctors, so we have to reschedule.

But I wanted to be able to get this out there as immediately as possible.

So as always, keep your continued prayers coming for Amber and for her healing and for, you know,

they're just the sanity in the Van Vickle household as they try to deal with all the different

appointments and doctors visits and job changes that they have.

Well, today what we talked about, oh, let me do one bit of follow up first.

To every one of our distributist fans that are out there.

I've gotten a couple of email exchanges with some of you,

but I have to say something.

This is funny.

When the first podcast series went out on this two-parter that we did on balancing the winsomeness of evangelization with the idea of the culture war and all that stuff

and how even the phrase culture war as something separate from evangelization, that stuff just needs to go away.

I can understand why it's helpful to make distinctions, but we can evangelize in every situation

and we can call people to repentance in the midst of our evangelization.

Anywho, the funniest thing that happened was I was trying to use the analogy of how, you know, hardcore Catholics like distributors can sound like radical, you know, socialist and their critique of capitalism.

And I was trying to point that out, just using it as a distinction.

Man, I tell you, i have not gotten so much negative

feedback in my life for this show the people being like what do you got against distributism

nothing i love it it's wonderful that was just an analogy that i was using to make a bigger point

but i will say this those of you who got upset with my three acres and a cow reference

uh y'all were so nice to me.
