You're going to do. Well, greetings, welcome to the Dividing Line. It is a Thursday. Tuesday didn't turn out to work well for doing a program. I apologize for that. Just a reminder that next week's up in the air.

Hopefully by the end of next week we can get back to somewhat of a regular schedule I hope we'll see.

Have surgery on Monday so I I hope that's the last one for a while but I hope the last two were the last one for a while so

I'm proving to be a challenge to to the doctors so there you go. So just a less an hour ago I was sent a

link to 60 minutes with a brief clip there's going to be an interview with Pope Francis on 60 minutes.

And I'm not going to bother trying to throw, oh hello, I'm not going to bother trying to throw a video up.

We'll just have the audio. It's just the Pope talking, so that's, you know what he

looks like. Anyway, this is a interesting exchange and I think it gives you a good idea of the mindset of Pope

Francis it's a mindset that those of us who have been observing the degradation

of mainline Protestant denominations for decades are very very familiar with.

There has been just as much degradation within Roman Catholicism during that time period.

There are all sorts of, well, as I've said over and over again, you can find conservative Roman Catholics and you can find the entire spectrum that you have within any kind of rational definition of Protestantism within Roman Catholicism.

So you can go to Boston College and see everything there.

There.

But a lot of Roman Catholics don't recognize that.

They don't understand that.

This is the first pope who has just openly embraced embraced that perspective and that worldview

and if he is successful

in doing what I think he's been trying to do for a number of years and that is to

determine his succession and his successor, it's going to result in a major shift within Roman

Catholic theology within your lifetime anyways,

anyways, depending on how old you are,
