Now -- for the next nothing not to like about don't realism and real -- -- -- house but essentially mail accounts and it just seems enormously likable.

He he really is needed to do little story when I was done before -- came here to new York and I was living in Rome and I was getting ready to make the transition to new York and stone mountain stayed with him.

And -- -- At his residence and Milwaukee where he was archbishop -- I had a flight.

At 5 in the morning to come to new York and he was leaving to become the cardinal archbishop there archbishop of New York that same day writes -- he's going to Milwaukee.

New York City.

A personal assistant who isn't married guy with the family wouldn't have to wake up at 3:34 in the morning.

That day that he was flying to New York from the archbishop he woke up at 3:30 in the morning.

When you think so amazing about -- All of the criticism that Rick Santorum.

With what he said.

Is that that just basic Christian theology.

And guys like -- teeple.

Guys like Jeremy -- -- Christian believers.

Believe that stuff and the people who love them also for their now Christian belief in their way of life.

They actually do you believe -- believe that stuff too so it's really shows I think it on masks some of the the medias and perception.

Of theology and of christianity when they start going after sending its very basic theology.

Almost some grocers resign his current.

Situation and who did side.

But the Protestant religion.

Out -- like -- All of this miserable.

All boats a fellow Wharton pretty much an abject melts.

Down the -- and -- legitimate religion which compulsive so.

We -- a -- dollar I didn't -- he when he said in that quote was.

That the mainline Protestant traditions some of the traditional.

-- episcopalian for example -- kids have really lost.

Their course and -- diminishing in numbers very quickly.

And and and what they've done is basically said hey listen you know we're not we don't really have any doctrine anymore.

And you believe you know basically -- -- we that Jesus existed.

You know your good with costs.

Now of course there are exceptions but mainline an -- -- much year southern -- I'm not -- what evangelicals and seeing some of the main -- traditional.

Traditions United States they've really lost their way and there's no life left in what is and lost -- way in terms of.

The Catholic wire -- product -- in terms of.

Real believing.

At Christians who actually say this is our doctrine this is what we believe this is what the Bible tells -- and instead of doing this you know hey listen is just come on in.

We're not gonna judge you just we -- issue will of course -- -- -- percent -- of course we shouldn't judge other person's soul but as soon as a church says.

Well we're not gonna judge that what you do or what you believe.

Corresponds to or does not correspond to the Bible what their churches lost its way.

What -- resonated.

Congregational church -- about future.

Law at all I began to of television -- time.

And all of the object on the number wonder.

Why Christians or at least the Christians I was for a thoughts of thereafter was the only answer it didn't make sense to me that -- general.

Or or the British -- wrong more then a thought there were many more pronounced.

Salvation and just been a question -- thanks for him about.

Look -- I think that that's where that.

Explain it is of course if one.

Church says that Jesus is -- another -- says actually no he wasn't divine.

One of those two has to be -- otherwise it makes no sense to say we believe this -- we believe that.

However.

I believe that somebody was born in the middle of a jump more war of liberation jumper -- why weren't they each been taught to believe available -- -- I was on how you title but if I say that -- -- -- -- four and you say to close to his five.

One of this is right in one of us is wrong and it's okay to say that.

However adults -- -- -- Angela who -- let's let's stick with the divinity of Jesus he can't Jesus was really the son of god.

Or he wasn't.

Are just a really good -- really good guy really -- carpenter and his teachings but if if one -- president Drexler and after church yeah absolutely.

I -- but.

What I would say is -- this is probably your specific question if somebody was born in the jungle.

He is never really heard the name Jesus does that mean that guy's going to -- -- he's not -- -- parish books -- absolutely not cut I believe that we are responsible to got to this is Catholic teaching and I would -- general basic Christian teaching.

With some exceptions some obviously.

Corner churches are gonna have their own.

Pastor were thrown ideas but basic Christian teaching we is this.

We are responsible to -- In as much as god reveals himself to us is long as we are seeking the truth in -- open minded to accepting it when we find.

We say again plotters console us -- we are responsible to god and how much is god reveals himself to us sustenance for us -- about the mormons interest.

-- gonna wanna -- -- war you know the Mormon Church in many ways is upholding in the United States of America and other places.

The great Christian values that we know.

And in so many churches including the Catholic Church that -- at times has just kind of -- you know gone back and forth and in not been very clear in terms of its teaching.

Now don't mean major -- from the Vatican the -- but on the ground teaching they've held it up to I believe in Mormon.

Theology -- -- -- absolutely not.

A sort of -- question but but but what what you've just talked about.

-- Revealing himself them as as as those like you're committed to Bristol Anglican accepted.

Might apply to them driven an absolute -- We're -- -- -- sanctions all you you do that that's absolutely best in views on -- religion that I had an and you should have never been on price.
