Rules for Retrogrades episodes typically come out Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and I try to be an

optimist on those Mondays. Well, we live in an upside down world. You know that. Archbishop Poglia,

who is the president for the Pontifical Academy for Life, is once again in the headlines for

this time, most squarely contradicting his commission, his his

going to talk about what it means to be a Catholic in 2023 under Pope Francis's direction as the

Supreme Pontiff. I've been thinking about it a lot over the weekend.

I'm going to try to pray twice as much as I have been for Pope Francis,
