0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vot the host and the content director.
0:09.6	And joining me is his Eminence all the way from Santa Barbara, California, Bishop Robert
0:14.2	Baron, Bishop Baron. Good to be with you. Hey, Brandon, you just promoted me. You're
0:18.0	Eminence. You just made me a cardinal. Yeah, that's you didn't get the news. I thought
0:23.7	the red hat had already got there. What's the appropriate title? You're excellent. You're
0:28.1	excellent. See, yeah, it's for a bishop. Someone, this is one of the questions we got from
0:32.7	one of our callers. And maybe I'll just ask it now. What do you think about titles and
0:37.7	people kissing your ring? I know that was very common in decades past. Not so much today.
0:44.0	Does that make you uncomfortable? Do you like the titles? How do you feel about all that?

1:21.2	they're honoring. It's the office I bear. So if people understand that properly, I
1:28.3	suppose anyone can get carried away with it or they could fall in love with all the kind
1:32.6	of fufu of the titles, but the titles, you know, as Aquinas said, they're a flag of virtue.
1:39.2	They're meant to point to something. So in this case, the virtue of the office, not my
1:43.8	moral virtue, but it's to the virtue of the office. So that's what the titles are
1:49.0	meant to do.
1:50.0	Well, listen, we got a really fun episode today. We've done this a couple times now, and
