Welcome to the SSPX Podcast and to Questions with Father number 29.

It's been almost a year since our last episode of Questions with Father.

If you're not familiar with this series, we take your questions that are submitted on our website,

SSPX Podcast.com, and our priests sit down from time to time to answer them.

really that important. Well, the answer is yes, but Father will explain how it's not just good for the

If you have a question about the Catholic faith that you'd like answered on a future episode of questions with Father,

please visit SSpxpodcast.com and click on Ask a Question. We may be able to answer it in a future episode,

and you'll be able to find all the previous 28 episodes of the series

there as well. Now, let's sit down with Father Gardner for a family meal.

Oh, sure. My name's Father Nicholas Gardner, not Scott Gardner. He's the older, wiser,

Father Gardner, and there's no relation. I'm from Idaho, and I spent the first nine years of my president in New York, various spots in New York.

And now I'm down here in Kansas, just got here in August, and I'm chaplain for the college, and I teach 42 eighth grade boys. And those are my main jobs here.

Oh, God bless you for that. Oh, I love them. They're great. It's a good challenge.

That's great. That's great. Well, we wanted to have you on, Father. We do questions with Father

episodes whenever we get questions in via our podcast website. And one of the
