Catholic Hitch

This week, Dale has a brush with podcast fame, Kit has a frankly shockingly good time with an agent of the government, and then we both talk about Chapter 1:  Youth or the Desire for God in the book "The Extraordinary Parents of St. Therese of Lisieux."

This week, Kit and Dale talk about a VIP event they had the fun to attend.  Then, they talk about a poem that was recited at the end of the event, and how it was quite shocking and deeply disturbing.  The poem is "An Exercise in Ritual."  (If you were less offended by this poem than we were, we'd love to hear from you!).

This week, Kit has a messed up back, and Dale has messed up hands (yep, we're getting older).  Additionally, we messed up the recording, so if it sounds unbearable, skip to 15:00 and it will be better.  Small talk is about a Gala we had the pleasure of attending this week.  Big Talk is about St. Frances Xavier Cabrini and her local shrine here in Colorado.

This week, after mentioning a Pints with Aquinas episode, Kit talks about canning with her mom.  Then, Dale shares his experience with a Relics Tour (from the Apostolate for Holy Relics), and we  talk about what relics are, and the emphasis on their potential troublesomeness in contemporary church documents.

We found this YouTube Video on relics helpful:  https://youtu.be/SBmR1YQtMxo
