Greetings, Paris Jorvens and RetroGrades.

I have had, I am Omicron, like the Black Sabbath song, this past week, and I have been one show shy.

Normally I do three shows, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and then my first show back, back in the saddle.

And I am completely honored to have with me a special

guest here, a dignitary of Fox News and of the Acton Institute, Father Robert Serico, about an

excellent article that you wrote earlier this week, Father. So thank you for joining me.

Great to be back with you, Tim. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, it's cool when a guest on Rules for Retrogrades gets to the point where, you know,

it's second, third, fourth time that I can say you guys are alumni of the program.

Your article on Fox News was called Pope Francis should let Catholics pray like Catholics.

And the most interesting, one of the most interesting aspects, Father, of your article

is that you're presenting this very inside baseball question about the TLM and Tritzianus Custodos,

which happened on July 16th of this year and the follow-up on Tritzionis Custodos, which happened on July 16th of this year,

and the follow-up on Truditzianus Custodos, the so-called Dubia.

Very inside baseball stuff, you're presenting it to the wider Fox News reading audience,

which is not just Catholic.

And if it's Catholic, it's not usually traditionalist Catholic.

So that's a totally different kind of article

to write in defense of the Tridentian Latin Mass than you would write for, you know,

Crisis Magazine or something, right? Yeah, no, it's good that you picked up on that because

initially when I was talking to the editors, I said, I don't think this is going to be of interest

to you. I mean, not your readership, you know.
