0:00.0	Hi, I'm Edward Sree, and welcome to all things Catholic, where real faith meets real life.
0:14.3	There's one Bible verse that many people in the secular world know.
0:18.5	Yes, even in the secular world, they may not be Christians, they don't practice their
0:21.9	faith, maybe they don't even go to church, they probably don't read the Bible that much.
0:26.6	Doubt their doing a lot of lexio, divina, but oh, they know this one Bible verse.
0:31.7	Oh, they've got it memorized and they can preach it like a Baptist preacher and they love to use
0:38.1	this especially when Christians will stand up and say something's right or wrong.
0:43.2	As soon as the Christian says something like abortion is wrong, then the secular person is
0:47.8	going to take this Bible verse and throw it at us. They're going to say, well, your Jesus said,
0:52.9	don't judge. Don't judge. And what do we Christians do when we get that Bible verse thrown
1:00.7	in our face? We tend to cower. We tend to hide. We don't know what to do. We're like, oh, no,
1:04.3	they're quoting Jesus against me. So I guess I can't say abortion is wrong. I can't say anything
1:08.9	is immoral. I can't say anything's wrong and wrong for everyone. Oh, no, Jesus said, don't judge.
1:14.4	Well, it's interesting. This upcoming Sunday in the gospel readings, we're going to encounter
1:19.7	that very passage. It comes from Luke's gospel chapter 6 verse 37 where Jesus says, don't judge,
1:27.0	lest you be judged. Well, what does that really mean? Does that mean we can never use our mind? We
1:30.8	can never say that there are certain things that are good and certain things that are bad, certain
1:35.1	things that are right, certain things that are wrong and always good and always bad for everybody.
1:39.2	Can we say that? How do we make sense out of this Bible verse? Well, that's what I'm going to
1:43.5	talk about in this week's podcast. So welcome to all things Catholic. I'm your host Edward
1:48.6	Sri and so excited to be with you all here. I just came off an amazing weekend. It was the great
1:55.0	focus seek conference and they had tens of thousands of people tuning in all over the United States
