What's up, Parish Orphans and Retrogrades. Happy Monday afternoon or evening depending wherever you are.

Today I have a special show for you on the ineffectibility of all ecumenical councils, including Vatican Council 2,

with special guest Michael Lofton of Reason and Theology.

Michael is working on a dissertation right now on the Magisterium,

He left the faith a few years back for Eastern Orthodoxy and then returned, recrossed the tiber,

and is back with us Roman Catholics, and we're happy to have him.

He founded in 2019 Reason and Theology and he is my special guest here on Rules for Retrogrades today. What's up, Michael? Happy to have you. Hey, thanks for having me on, Timothy. How are you?

and I have never had you on my show, and I wanted to return the favor because it's a favor for me.

Bumer and Novice Ordo Masses and just clapping along to mass blasphemously.

To people like us that are,

It matters that folks like you,
