Hey, what's up? I'm Father Josh Johnson and this is Ask Father Josh, the podcast where I get to hear you out and do my best to help you

throughout those tricky times in life. Whenever you're trying to discern what is the best decision for me to make?

Especially whenever there's not that easy, thunder-blank, Catholic answer that we can always turn to. On the show we listen to each other,

I will pray with whatever your questions are and after I spend time in prayer,

I will do my best to try to help you to navigate your walk toward eternity.

Each episode I will answer three or five of your questions and

those questions can be dealing with everything from Catholic teaching to Catholic morality,

to apologetics, to relationship advice, dating advice, how to handle different conversations.

Here's a disclaimer though. I'm not perfect, which means I might mess up. I might give you advice that it's not good.

I will pray with everything on one of your questions and do my best to abide in relationship with Jesus

and to answer your questions from that place of intimacy with our Lord. And in the heart of the church, however,

I'm still a broken priest. I'm in perfect and my advice might not be helpful to you. If it's not helpful to you,

I want to give you the freedom right now to simply reject it. If it is helpful to you,

then I want to invite you to accept it and try to live it out and share with other people so that you can not only become the

Saint, you're called to be, but you could potentially help others become the saints that they are called to be as well.

If your first time listening, this is how this show goes. You shoot me an email with your questions, whatever it is,

at askfatherjoshatecisionpress.com. And then after that, I will respond to those questions.

Then you can review this show on iTunes. You can rate it, which helps other people find out about the show.

So that's basically the gist of askfatherjosh. We just listen to each other and we try to accompany each other

and walk toward potentially becoming canonized saints. Kind of cool. So on today's show, we are going to, we're going to go there.

Right. We're going to talk about something that a lot of people, I guess, are kind of scared to talk publicly about.

And it's Pope Francis, right? My man, Pope Francis. So one of the questions that we got today is from a viewer who is struggling with the Holy Father.
