| 0:00.0 | On this week's episode of the SSPX podcast, we will be answering a fairly common listener question, and one we tackled very briefly in one of our earliest episodes years ago. What should Catholics think about organ donation? |
| 0:19.9 | Father Ian Palco is back to discuss this topic, which, |
| 0:22.5 | like many others we've talked about recently, doesn't have an easy, clear-cut answer. It seems, |
| 0:27.8 | on the surface, like a great gift and an extraordinary act of charity to give someone an organ |
| 0:33.7 | so they can live. But we'll see it's not so simple. This is a question that touches on |
| 0:38.6 | morality, yes, but also relies a great deal on prudence and circumstance. Thankfully, Father |

| 1:17.8 | So thanks for still making the time to chat with us today. |
| 1:21.0 | This is par for the chorus for us who have these missionary travels. |
| 1:24.1 | So yeah, on Friday, my flight was canceled. |
| 1:29.4 | And then finally got down to the mission on Saturday. And then on Sunday, I had a flight canceled and then I got the next one. |
| 1:36.4 | And then that one was canceled. And then the next morning, it was delayed because of various |
| 1:41.5 | storms along the way. So, but you know what? As one of, we recently had a commencement speaker here in Kansas City. |
| 1:50.0 | Francis Auerkamp, I think you probably know him. |
| 1:53.0 | He's one of the state representatives out in Kansas and he came in and he was talking about |
