And we're live. Welcome back to the loopcast. It's Tom, Erica, and Josh. We have a great show prepared for you today. We're going to be talking about a brief history of the United States relationship with the Vatican and maybe some predictions as to how Pope Leo approaches the American church. As J.D. Vance heads over there to go to the inaugural mass. Marco Rubio will be there too. But before we get into that, clap for producer Rosie, she graduated college.

Rosie.

He released under six years. Good girl.

Rosie, congratulations.

graduated from Auburnary University, Bachelor of Arts, and we'll soon be off.

We weren't able to convince her to stay somehow. She's going to study Masters in English at Oxford,

which feels like the most appropriate possible place to go do that.

Especially for a loopcast assistant producer.

That's where they all end up is Oxford, right?

Exactly.

Oxford, Michigan.

Yeah, Oxford, Michigan.

I like that.

Totally.

But yes, and then we'll also be at the Courage

Under Fire Gala this.

So next week, we're going to be live streaming on Friday.

And right now we have Father Mike Schmitz

and Michael Knowles Slated for that live show.

Very excited to talk to both of them.

Maybe send us some questions that you'd like us to ask them.

I've actually never met either of them in person,
