We'll start in Albuquerque with Cody. Cody, I believe you called yesterday and you didn't get on the air, so I want to put you first. Okay, yes, that is true. Thank you very much. That's why I tried again today. Yeah. So a couple of things you were talking about yesterday really caught my attention. You were talking, something having to do with Catholics participating in Protestant services. |
| 0:58.1 | I'm in a similar, I'm in a related situation, and I want to get your thoughts on it. |
| 1:01.9 | So I'm a convert to Catholicism. |
| 1:05.2 | I was kind of a nominal Lutheran growing up, but I was friends with this Lutheran church, |

| 1:59.5 | and why you'd want to maintain a kind of affinity |
| 2:02.7 | with the people that you care about from your past religious experience. So that's, you know, |
| 2:07.9 | in itself, it's completely understandable. The church says, the Catholic Church says that, |
| 2:15.0 | A, as long as there's nothing that's going to be confusing about your Catholic identity, |
| 2:19.9 | in other words, giving the impression perhaps that you're not Catholic or that you're not Catholic anymore, |
| 2:26.7 | I mean, that would be a source of scandal. We don't want to do that. |
