0:00.0	Hi, I'm Edwards III and welcome to all things Catholic, where real faith meets real life.
0:07.0	The Catholic Church doesn't always have the best reputation in the modern secular age.
0:17.0	For some people, the Catholic Church is just irrelevant. It's just not a part of their daily
0:21.8	lives. It doesn't shape their outlook. It doesn't shape how they live. It's just insignificant

1:28.6	Why are they so happy?
1:30.3	Why do I seem to encounter something more in them that I can't find in the rest of the world?
