Greetings, Parish Orpins and Retrogrades.

It's a special day today because the case for patriarchy is finally here.

The pub date was October the 1st, and guess what?

You all are getting your copies early. A lot of you got your

copies before I got mine. What an exciting time for a Roman Catholic to be alive. Here at the

turn of the tide, the case for patriarchy is inevitable on the crisis imprint of Sophia Press.

It is just, if I can say, Steph, this is just a beautiful

book. It's a beautiful book. Nice, thick pages. I can't stand thin pages. Beautiful cardstock

feeling thick pages. The beautiful image on the cover is crisp, it's clear, it's perfect.

And I am here to talk to you a little bit about the case for patriarchy.

Folks, you know many people saw the famous or some people say infamous Matt Frad interview I did

when Matt and I first met in person.

Over two years ago, I announced really

what the book was about and when it would be out. At that point, I'd just begun writing it

with my brother Dave. The book had a long publication journey, as many books do. It's obviously

an incredibly, incredibly controversial topic, the case for patriarchy.

And I'm doing interviews on this thing as I go through my weeks almost every day. And I'm like,

I haven't talked that much about the book on Rules for RetroGraGra. It, my own show. I've talked enough about it.

Most of you guys have bought the book. Please buy it if you haven't yet. I'm begging you.

Buy the book. It's amazing. Ask the folks that have it. Would you comment if you've already read

even the first chapter in the sections below so

people know this is not puffing or bluffing?
