| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Edward Sree, and welcome to all things Catholic Catholic where real faith meets real life. |
| 0:17.0 | At a crucial moment on Good Friday Jesus tells Pontius Pilate that he has come into the world to bear |
| 0:25.8 | witness to the truth. |
| 0:27.8 | And then Pilate sarcastically responds, what is truth? |
| 0:32.2 | What is truth? I think that philosophy of Pontius Pilate is very prominent today. |
| 0:38.0 | So many people hold this same philosophy. They say, oh, what is truth? I mean, what's true for you isn't true for me. I can make up my own truth. I can make up my own reality. I can make up my own morality. And so don't impose your truth on me. |
| 0:52.6 | Everyone has the right to make up their own truth. |

| 1:48.8 | Crucial events at the the climax of Christ's public ministries is there in Jerusalem and dying on the cross |
| 1:54.8 | and there's just so much in these stories I just got back from Jerusalem a couple weeks ago |
| 1:58.9 | where we were filming there's going to be a video component to this so there'll be a book that can |
| 2:02.4 | stand by itself but there's also going to be a video component to this. So there'll be a book that can stand by itself, |
