Dallas Kelley:

Yes.

Tim Stout:

Okay. Moving forward just so you can schedule it. We had, we've got life's getting back to normal a little bit. So we're scheduling these every other week. That's what we decided to do out a week, every other week. So not every week, but every other week. And, you know, if you got some I'll say this again, at the end. If you've got some folks you'd like to hear from, please let us know. And we'll talk about it. So I got current events down by getting current events.

Dallas Kelley:

I brought one that I was gonna bring up. You got any one go first?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

go first. But

Dallas Kelley:

good. Its catalog because I wanted to read from the United States bishops. It has to do with the the Equality Act that has passed the house and now goes to the Senate. Did you know about the Equality Act? read a little bit about it today.

Tim Stout:

Did you read any about it today?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

No. I heard on redolent radio today.

Dallas Kelley:

Okay. This is a this is I'm going to read. And I'm not going to read every word, but it's quite a bit. Thank God so that that's still pretty long. It needs to be I think people need to know about it. Okay. This is this is a response from the US bishops, the US bishops on their website, you can go to us CCB and read the whole thing. But it passed the House of Representatives and now goes to the Senate vote. And it says, Yeah, lean back into getting Okay, okay. The Equality Act purports to protect people experiencing same sex attraction, or gender discordance from discrimination. But instead, the bill represents the imposition by Congress of novel and divisive viewpoints regarding gender on individuals and organizations. This includes dismissing sexual differences and falsely presenting gender as only a social construct. It is one thing to be understanding of a human weakness in the complexities of life and another to accept ideologies that attempt to Sunder What are inseparable aspects of reality. Tragically, this act can also be constructed to include an abortion mandate, a violation of precious rights and conscience. Rather than a farm human dignity in ways that meaningfully exceed existing practical protections. The Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith. It would also inflict numerous legal and social harms on Americans have their faith. If passed, the legislation would and here's the problems the bishops have with the passing of this bill. It would punish faith based charities such as shelters and foster care agencies. And in turn, they're 1000s of beneficiaries simply because of their beliefs on marriage, and sexuality. It would force both people in organizations in many everyday life and work settings to speak their act in support of gender transmute transitions, including health care worker in licensed counselors, even when it's against their professional judgment. It would risk mandated taxpayers to pay for abortions, and health care workers with conscience objections to afford them anyway, ultimately ending more human lives. It would force girls and women to compete against boys and men for limited opportunities in school sports, and to share locker rooms and shower spaces with biological males who claim to identify as women. It would expand the government's definition of public places into numerous settings, even forcing religiously operated spaces, such as some church halls, and equivalent facilities owned by synagogues and mosques to either host functions that violate their beliefs, or close their doors to their broader communities altogether. It exclude people from the careers and livelihoods that they love, just from retaining the truth of their beliefs on marriage and sexuality. And lastly, would discriminate against individuals and religious organizations based on their different beliefs by partially repelling the bipartisan Religious Freedom Restoration Act, an unprecedent departure from the Law of One Americans founding principles. So those are all the things that it would affect, which is a lot.

Tim Stout:

It is but it's also not a new attack either. Right. I mean, that's kind of happened with with adoptions for Catholic agencies to they've been under attack for a long time anyway. Marriage is under attack, obviously. Complicated times does it have the votes to pass the Senate

Dallas Kelley:

I think I think this doesn't have to be 5050 is gonna be 60 or two thirds, maybe two thirds. And I haven't heard anybody comment and whether it's got the votes in it.

Tim Stout:

crazy man.

Dallas Kelley:

That's my current event.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

That's it

Dallas Kelley:

was the other one the fish fry.

Tim Stout:

But my current event was a fish wrap. But you know, Hey, what about you, you gain current events?

Dallas Kelley:

We are expecting maybe hard rain on Sunday morning. So bring your umbrellas

Unknown:

watch

Dallas Kelley:

the code and ice is over watch the Facebook page for

Tim Stout:

any for any updates. Related to that. Right. Right. Always, always watch the Facebook page. But it state everybody should it's kind of a call to us. You know what Dallas was talking about is a really a call that sometimes we we think that legislation doesn't really impact us. Because we can't relate to it. But you know, in this case, it really is has can have an impact on our faith and the morals of the country.

Dallas Kelley:

And you got to watch how things are worded. If it doesn't have a clause, it's probably going to affect you know, especially pieces of religious faith.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

It's important to turn to the leaders, the bishop, understand the language of those bow beans information that put out there. It kind of mask but really inside the content of what they propose. Yeah, I

Tim Stout:

mean, it does show the importance to the lobbying group. So you, which is us CCB is a is a lobbying group. Obviously in Kentucky, we have our own it's the Catholic Conference of Kentucky, sponsored by bishops. And Mr. Jason Hall, who is the executive director. Before COVID hit we were going to have him on the show. And we're in the legislature slet legislative session right now. So when that's over, we're going to reach back out to him. And see if he'll come on the show and just talk about some of the things that are going on in Kentucky. Obviously, that's a federal proposed law. So what what's going on in Kentucky and what Kentuckians can do to help make sure that our faith is not under attack in Kentucky? So

Dallas Kelley:

someone wants to know where is your Casey as a cap?

Tim Stout:

Well, that's an inside joke. That's the Kentucky Chris stone associate.

Dallas Kelley:

Oh, yeah. I was thinking k night what's that other stuff

Tim Stout:

they had for Knights of Columbus, something that that's close,

Dallas Kelley:

nice of Knights of Columbus society, something

Tim Stout:

Kentucky crush stone Association. So which is a lobbying group to which is interesting, right? Every, every group of companies or whatever you're affiliated with, has a group that looks at laws and see how they affect your organization or your business? Or if you're Catholic, your faith. So those are important groups. And should you should know which lobbying groups you should be in tune with so that as an individual, it's hard for you to lobby for your individual rights. And those groups, take groups of people, obviously, in lobbying on behalf of them. So thanks, Phil, for that comment. I see that there. So let's see. Let's we're gonna talk about lit listening by getting more questions. Any more questions yet? Nope. All right. Boys gate seems off a little bit.

Dallas Kelley:

Yeah, I mean, you'll start talking but I don't hear it for a second or

Tim Stout:

so. Hopefully, that's not coming through online. But well, I can maybe turn that off as somebody can talk for a minute. But let's talk about Lynn, shall we?

Dallas Kelley:

So far, so good. So far.

Tim Stout:

I love Lynn. Do like Lynn

Dallas Kelley:

I love Lent.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

You know this. Even the Mardi Gras. I did not hear

Dallas Kelley:

anything. You're right. I didn't even think about it too. You just mentioned it around now.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Except me. I make a video drink the last beer I film it and sent to my family. And even them down there because they face the ice storm that in no way talks about Mardi Gras. So land kind of slipped under the radar and came in. And we have that ice. It was wonderful.

Tim Stout:

I didn't hear anything about land either. I just turned the noise gate off over here that Yeah, Mardi Gras.

Dallas Kelley:

I haven't heard I haven't seen the news or anything.

Unknown:

Steve today Mardi Gras. We had our Mardi Gras.

Dallas Kelley:

We went out on Fat Tuesday. We did

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

but they can so the Mardi Gras

Tim Stout:

just they canceled it.

Dallas Kelley:

Okay

Tim Stout:

COVID sucks, man. But let what's what's what you know, when I think about lint, obviously, that kicks off lanterns right before the beginning of lint. But you know an asset fish for as at the beginning just because I was plugged in The Knights of Columbus but when you think when somebody says lives led to you, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?

Dallas Kelley:

fasting, fasting, fasting?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yep, it's by belief here. People know, fish fry is lead. And

Dallas Kelley:

lead zinc. It's incredible. I mean, we talked about this before, you know, you've got a whole idea of obligations that people won't go to. And this ain't about getting on them. Okay. But when, except for this year, because of the COVID when it comes for Ash Wednesday, which is not a holy day, it is packed, you know, oh, we want their ashes. Well, that's that's a good thing, too, you know? And then you got other ones that don't go to every mass every week. But though obey those

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

rules, you know, in church ministry, we have to begin to think about that. You know, palm and ashes. People will come for that. As long as he received something, right. Something so we have to think about consider maybe a beer after mass.

Dallas Kelley:

I think we did already get rules on the palms already tuned in. We will get into that later. This is lamp but

Tim Stout:

I had somebody asked me downstairs today if they could still get dash ashes? Yes. I said no. So the answer is yes.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

But Tom, Tom fish don't get bought a lot of ashes for us.

Dallas Kelley:

Yes, we have like three pounds leftover.

Tim Stout:

So we were gonna have a lot of ashes.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

So basically, one of the debate in it, we will give to you.

Tim Stout:

So should we bring it to church on Sunday going to

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

church on Sunday of those who want to ashes will give to them?

Tim Stout:

You hear you hear in an echo over there, Steve? No. Where are you hearing an echo? Now's a better. Okay, good. Someone playing it in the background? Interesting. I think I know what that could be. Is that better the day then go away. We'll see. Anyway, we're for you know, this is what happens every time we can't take a break. And then we come back. You know, things get messed up.

Dallas Kelley:

You can plug the exact same things and the exact same hose and things go wrong. I don't I don't understand that. But that's why we have you and Steve,

Tim Stout:

we try. We try really hard. It sounds really good on my headset. The sound good on

Dallas Kelley:

now. It was going in and out. Okay.

Tim Stout:

All right. So hopefully we got that fixed. Somebody was texting me. Let's see. I got another text. Hey, I do I think about given stuff up. That's the same thing. Yeah, yeah. given something up for fasting,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

water fasting, it become a culture, we give up something that consider fasting.

Dallas Kelley:

Yes, I have people every year will ask me about oh, you know, well, first of all, you get the Do I have to get up on Sunday, which me and Tim had already had that question. We had somebody come up to us and ask us that. was we had a restaurant somewhere? I think we were were Yeah. And you get that and you get the is it wrong if I do this, and it gives something up, and you know, bla bla bla, and, and I try to remember, okay, it's fantastic that you give something up. But that's voluntary. You know, you have the mandated rules, the fasting and abstained, but the giving something up is a voluntary act. And if you fail at it, don't kill yourself over it. Because it's voluntary, you know. So there's no sin if you if you don't back up your voluntary thing you gave up or anything like that. So just go back to trying to do it again. You know,

Tim Stout:

yeah. And I think that's one of the things I'm reading the book. One of the things I'm doing for balance, I given something up, I'm actually trying to when I'm looking for a new spiritual director, because father Bob is because of COVID. But as part of that, got a book recommended to me spirituality, and that's and I'm trying to pray a little bit more, you know, just pray a little bit more and also doing a book that we handed out that will probably have some more Sunday on Bishop Barron's Lenten gospel reflections. I start my day with that. So but one of the books one of the things in the spirituality book that I'm reading, it talks about, just exactly what you just said, you know, we like to think about a new year's resolution, but really, as as Catholics, if we screw up, we can start new every minute of every day. You know, don't kill ourselves because we didn't do what we said we're gonna set out to do it. And let start. Just pick it up the next day. Start over. Like if Alan wanted to have a beer tonight. It would be alright. You could just start again tomorrow.

Dallas Kelley:

Or Sunday, or let's argue calm the heck can you can You do it on Sunday

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

are sick the UK you know because that that is a meanie Easter right Sunday's always the mean Easter.

Dallas Kelley:

It's a day of celebration. I

Tim Stout:

always tell everybody No, I've never heard it called a mini Easter but I like that. Yeah. So it's good.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

You know, the the the over arching of land is very unique for me. Many people take that very seriously. Not because they know it is that is that they're obligatory. But it's they're imposed on that it's almost they make a contract of the covenant with God somehow. Therefore, even though, you know, they might falter a little bit of of eating meat on Friday, they see that as as a failure or a sin in itself. You know, very fascinate on that. So it'd be that's why they the ash, marked as an ash wednesday, so significant, because it's the mark of atonement, and it built into our system. And because we do know, when we do wrong, right, we naturally feel guilty when we do something wrong. Naturally.

Dallas Kelley:

Can you remember where are you old enough to remember when you had to give up meat every Friday?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Oh, yeah. It's still in the law.

Dallas Kelley:

Well, you not meat every Friday.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

It's still in canon law. It's still in the catalog.

Tim Stout:

All right, here we go. Round one.

Dallas Kelley:

I think it's been

Tim Stout:

catechism

Dallas Kelley:

sorry, Spanish suggested you give something else out. But

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

the law by the canonical is still in the book. But it's suspended by the local bishop. Yeah. So in United States, the practice is no meet on Friday during Lent.

Dallas Kelley:

Well, during Lent, yeah. But I'm talking about year round year round. But

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

yeah, it's not. Yeah. Okay. But in the law in 65, in that,

Tim Stout:

y'all were saying two different things. So,

Dallas Kelley:

you know, when I was younger, you had you couldn't eat meat every Friday of the year, the whole year, but I'm

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

saying that is still the law.

Dallas Kelley:

But with a dispensation? Yeah.

Tim Stout:

Yeah, that's why if you go to most Catholic grade schools and for lunch on Friday, they'll have grilled cheese. Right, right. But they still do that here are fish, fish or grilled cheese.

Dallas Kelley:

But this year, St. Joseph feast day falls on the solemnity falls on a Friday on Friday. So which means

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Spence, right,

Dallas Kelley:

it's despite what I say it's what expense for me so you can eat me on St. Joseph's feet. So eliminating

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

about St. Patrick?

Tim Stout:

He's on a Wednesday.

Dallas Kelley:

Patrick go solemnity

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

it's not a celebrity. Memorial. The fact that it becomes so ingrained in the Irish Catholic at many Bishop you know, spends that so people can celebrate it.

Tim Stout:

So you're just looking for shortcuts. You want to know if on a Friday during lunch if you can eat me

Dallas Kelley:

I want a steak.

Tim Stout:

Okay,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

well, my favorite is was a gal. And cc cannot stand fasting on Friday, because he hate fish. So guess what you have Auster.

Tim Stout:

Do you just kind of really defeats the purpose.

Dallas Kelley:

Yeah. Do you remember many many years ago where? When my wife was in cafeteria manager, and it was St. Joseph. And she ordered meat on the pizza. Yeah. And everybody was going over to follow Li and to ask, is that? Oh, Dallas says it's okay. And Sherry says it's okay. Is Are you sure? You know? Do you remember that? You don't remember that day.

Tim Stout:

So what's the what's the what's the moral of that story? We have to catechize our kids a little bit more. Right.

Dallas Kelley:

And our families and their but there's many that don't know that. That's because they don't come around every year. It's not it doesn't fall on Friday.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Mm hmm. It's neat in that way, I think the season of lead is something special about it. I think from the secular point of view, not necessary, the religious percent perspective but sometime and is a way to draw on people close to think toward God in some ways, you know? So it overall, there's a lot of confusion out there. We all know that right?

Dallas Kelley:

All I know is this morning I fried me up a big platter of bacon. It was almost in my mouth and oh, today's Friday. It's now waiting for me in the refrigerator for tomorrow morning.

Tim Stout:

All the life of a retired man.

Dallas Kelley:

As I go fishing tomorrow morning,

Tim Stout:

who's got time to fry bacon in the morning?

Dallas Kelley:

Well, I put a load of clothes on, then I went to Fred to bake it, you know, there you go, boom.

Tim Stout:

History. Let's talk about the history lit. about that a little bit.

Dallas Kelley:

Well, I read a paper on from Baylor University on this here the other day, and after reading that whole paper, two, you know, the conclusion I came up with, they don't know, nobody's really sure. There's a whole lot of things through history that you can go through. I mean, you got scripture Old Testament where they're fasting and New Testament when they're fasting, so so you can take the fasting part of Lent, all the way back to the apostles. And even before that, which wasn't part of Lent The season of Lent. Yet it wasn't arrived yet. But then you see, some early church fathers like Tertullian. Some of his writings, well, no, you had the you had something called the What was it called? Even before to tell you the secret Gospel of Mark, which is not canonical, because it's a separate gospel. But that doesn't mean everything in it wasn't true, because they talked about some practices. And they were already fast in abstaining from certain foods, but opposite also, they described baptizing people during, you know, in catechism during the time before landlady, I don't think they use the 40 days yet. And then bringing him in, in the during the Easter celebration the night before. So that's actually back, you know, when they were first writing scriptures and trying to decide which books were canonical. And then you got two Italian, who describe the same thing bringing several people in, during Easter celebration. And then but you don't really have that the season of Lent to the Council of Nicea. And they prescribed I think they prescribed and after that, a certain time, and length of how long which it used to be a whole lot longer. RCA and the Easter Vigil was an all Was it an all night thing or a two, two day 48 hours, something like that. And you got people walking out after. But it used to be really long. And you got that coming back all the way to council nasiha, which I think was in 325 or something like it. And then through the time and the centuries, it developed to what to what we are seeing now today.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yeah, in itself, that you think about the Catholic Church. Oh, gee, all the ritual. We call it developmental theology. It developed through time. When I studied liturgy, the, of course, the the Easter is the anchor of everything, right? That that is everything for us. And so the tullian, during his time, try to figure out, we see people in the church, when is the best time of course, Easter is the time to do it that mean, you enter into Christ. So it extends out with an anticipation to be pair preparation, right? So people have to go through months and yours to be paired. And you know, during that time that go through pennons fasting was it part of our tradition since the desert, you know, Father Mother, during that time, so fasting are built into that to do the practice. And that the 40 year 40 days came later right after the Council of Nicea. That's when they begin to look into that 40 day, of course, and then we have biblical tie to that, of course, is associated with Noah. You know, and and Jesus and desert, the, the the Israel ally, you know,

Tim Stout:

there's a lot of 40 days and fasting was was a Jewish practice as well.

Dallas Kelley:

Yeah, absolutely. So

Tim Stout:

40 days always. A lot of my scripture professors used to say 40 days just means a long time.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yeah.

Dallas Kelley:

Because you told my Jewish I because the we just had a reading here recently where they asked, you know, your apostles are not fasting, you know, so, we know it was a Jewish practice.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

But the back of the 40 days very interesting, isn't it? Because sometimes we take it for granted because we have the clock, right? People back then they don't have a copy. They don't have an Apple Watch. Apple Watch, you know, and so, the concept of time, it that length in this okay? The The other day was hear something quite interesting want to share with you guys on relevant radio that will reprise he reflect on 40 days associated with the 40 weeks of pregnancy? You know, during that time the baby know that the the trimester right, fully develop your understand start dreaming start feeling the the skin start developing. So there is a, a an aging, right? aging to like the that the Israelites, right? Why did they 40 years? Because they still drag with them the old habit? Sure, they still think about you know, even though meal will feel miserable, but we still better than a desert right now. You know, until went through the pure purgation. And to complete the see the fridges like a baby's it's a beautiful reflex, but this phrase was talking about sometimes we don't even think about it, you know, right now, you know, back to the abortion concept. You know, we think about aborting the tri trimester baby and this baby. You know, by 4040 weeks it be solid to become a fully human person fully developed everything, you know, not just a heartbeat is fully developed but so beautiful on that. So 40 day of lead right after, you know, I'm looking forward after 40 days of fasting from beer. I always look toward the first buzz. Great.

Tim Stout:

It usually happens right after the Easter Vigil, right?

Dallas Kelley:

That's usually when you invite us out, we go out into the open, you get your first bus.

Tim Stout:

Okay, so 40 how how many days is Lin 40 days is that how many calendar days is lit? You see, you know that 40 is a 4346 calendar that isn't if you count Sundays, right, and then is the tritium lit.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

The tritium is not let me learn and actually officially end on Palm Sunday. And then we step into the Holy Week. Okay. And then from the holy week we step into the trivium. So there is the intensity, you know,

Dallas Kelley:

yeah, because there is undoubtedly a question When can I stop my voluntary thing? I give up? Is it Holy Thursday? Is it vigil Palm Sunday? Um, Sunday's done,

Tim Stout:

but anytime you want.

Dallas Kelley:

Because it's voluntary.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Is that interesting? Yeah.

Tim Stout:

I mean, you know, I think, you know, like you said, some people take it much more serious than others. Right. And, you know, I can remember the first time I heard a Sunday morning, when I think I'd given up ice cream or something like that. I would, on the way home from my grandmother's house, we would always we could go two ways. And one way if we went home this particular way, I knew we were stopping at Baskin Robbins. And I always just hated lit because I typically I'd give up ice cream, and I couldn't have ice cream. But then I figured out that I could have sherbert because sure that was ice cream.

Dallas Kelley:

So you found a loophole.

Tim Stout:

So Sunday's aren't lit like sherbert not ice cream.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

You can do bourbon for you.

Tim Stout:

If you didn't give up alcohol, you can have bourbon. Yes. So you know, you know, it's it's funny, these these intricate set of just a simple thing, like how many days are in let you know, that Don't you think that's kind of really kind of bled out lit in general is kind of bled over into other other faiths and secular world?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Oh, yeah. Definitely, you know, it's

Dallas Kelley:

the ones mostly closely associated with us. I mean, they, they practice lanton stuff, too. So

Tim Stout:

I did see one of the guests on our show, previous ruckle pommeau, was tweeted out that who gave Joe Biden his ashes. It was a Jesuit Express press. So now, you know, it's just it's just the little things like that, that I think are good for the faith. Kind of it brings in a culture where we try to push faith away. puts our faith I think back in front of people. That's my thoughts on

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

but but it's, for me, I think it's beautiful. We have to use those as an opportunity, right? To push people deeper into the mystery itself. Oh, it just one of those things. It kind of though, I have to ask. So we make sure I have a bigger cross on my forehead. Just like Madonna with a big hole cross you will.

Tim Stout:

If you give out acts just like you did to me. You can put a cross from your forehead to the back.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

So when you think about that, is that cool? I gave you ashes on your palm and you do it yourself is a sign of your own commitment to yourself instead of me impose it on You know, I like nice.

Tim Stout:

I mean, from coke from a code perspective, I think it's a great I think it's an approach that the US CCB should have thought of, you know, the whole thing about putting on top of your head, I just, I didn't like that.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

I try again. It's not our culture, our culture, we wear something we don't receive dirt in our hand. From the Eastern Orthodox, yeah, from in Rome that do that. But for us, we want to put something on our forehead. Yeah,

Tim Stout:

I mean, I've just trained everybody that I that I know at work that doesn't know what ashes are, they now know if I come in with a cross. It's not dirt. So I sprinkled it on top of my head, they're gonna think what's going on with that?

Dallas Kelley:

And you had enough in your hand to do about 1000 people.

Tim Stout:

I was like, Whoa, I did this. And they were still like a mountain in my hand. So did you get better as the day went on? Did you get better okay. So if you didn't get ashes you can still get them Do we have some here at Cardona? Allow had to try to remember to bring him so we'll we'll just remember that because I don't think everybody got him last week. Yeah. And people are still asking so let's see.

Dallas Kelley:

But I will say at the end as much as I love land love Holy Week. Come after the mass on Easter. I'm like it's Oh, my I mean, my feet are killing me after four days on your feet.

Tim Stout:

Which What did you give up for lunch?

Dallas Kelley:

I gave up not fishing.

Tim Stout:

Come on. He gave up beer.

Dallas Kelley:

I didn't give up anything.

Tim Stout:

Are you doing anything different?

Dallas Kelley:

I pray as much as I always pray which is a lot remember Deacon town it's not a require

Tim Stout:

on Oh, no, no.

Dallas Kelley:

There's no Catholic guild here. It's not

Tim Stout:

every way but you fast a lot. Anyway.

Dallas Kelley:

How fast every day for 22 hours a day. 24 hours a day? No, no, no 22 hours a day.

Tim Stout:

So you're eating windows two hours,

Dallas Kelley:

two hours five to seven. Except today, except today I ate some fish to fish for which was good fish. That's six days a week. Tomorrow's my man, you're eating day to day.

Tim Stout:

I've you know back when I lost a bunch of weight a couple years ago I was fasting things called fasting your way to greater weight loss. And I had the same type of principle from my eating window was a little bit bigger. Mine was eight hours so from noon to eight I could eat and then after eight at eight again till noon the next day. I'm trying to pick that back up a little bit harder for me for some reason, but I'm doing a pretty good job at not eating breakfast in the morning. But not eat until lunchtime. So that works pretty good for me. I think it's good. I think it's healthy.

Dallas Kelley:

To be honest with you know everything you just said about not eating from this time to this time it remanent we've still met used to give up you had to couldn't eat meat every Friday. There was also a time where you know right now we have an hour fast before receiving the Eucharist on any anytime you go to Mass you can eat an hour before receiving the Eucharist used to be from midnight the day before. You couldn't eat anything from midnight to you receive the Eucharist on Sunday. That's why you know six or eight o'clock mass was so crowded because everybody was hungry at 1030 mass wasn't crowded because everybody was hungry. I wanted to go ahead and go to Mass so they could eat

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yeah, I also have to fast an hour after communion.

Unknown:

Where'd you get that from?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

I don't know some old

Dallas Kelley:

some old nanto told you when she was hitting you with

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

developers not in the ritual is kind of built into the people mindset is a fascinating.

Tim Stout:

So fast an hour before you come to mass. See, we I lived out the country. So it took us like 40 3030 or 40 minutes to get to the church. So is it 30 isn't an hour before mass starts or an IRA for you Take me an hour before you receive Communion. So I think we were pretty good. We couldn't leave our house get there because we had long homies too. And you know we were good golden we couldn't screw up I could still eat before we left and I'd still be hard.

Dallas Kelley:

And I've had as somebody asked me does fatherland have to fast? Well, you have to fast before the first mass but every mass after that don't have to

Tim Stout:

have too many masses. Hey, if you're listening, we'd like to know what you've given up for Atlanta or what you're doing special for lunch. So put that in the comments just we'll see if there's anything unique out there. Oh, and I forgot to tell her by make sure you hit the like button like like like, because the more likes you get. I found this out this week on that social media earlier. The more likes you get at the beginning of a broadcast even if it's like mass on Sunday. If people are hitting that Like button, then what Facebook will do is they'll actually put it out because they think there's a lot of there's something going on something good going on, they'll put it out on some other pages, and it'll get some traction out there. So hit the like button. Tell us

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

tell us this thing you told me on Sunday. Oh, stars star.

Tim Stout:

Yeah, so that's. So if you look now, on the bottom of a Facebook post, there's a little star down there. There's it next to the comment bar, there's a little thing called stars. And you can can click on the stars, and that'll send money to us to the parish. You have to buy the stars, though they're not free. You have to purchase the stars. And then you can send those to content creators. In this role as we sit here in this room, we're considered a content creator. I don't know necessarily know if I'd say that we were content creators on Sunday, we're just spreading the word. But I guess in Facebook's definition we are. So if you're interested in that, do it. Click, click fast some stars and I think their dollar I don't know.

Dallas Kelley:

I just clicked on it. Ones $99 ones $1 99 and other ones for 99.

Tim Stout:

But those are multiples right? So anyway, check it out. If

Dallas Kelley:

you're you get so many stars. Yeah,

Tim Stout:

yeah, it's a good way to show support, not just us. But you know, content creators, because let's face it, the entertainment world has changed dramatically in the last in the last year. So hey, nobody, nobody's given up anything for Lent. Look at that. And they're, they're there with Dallas Kelly. Hey, didn't give up anything. I'm gonna challenge you next year, Dallas. Got to give something up next year. Okay. Another thing I used to think about a lot when I was a kid going to Catholic school was Stations of the Cross.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Oh, yeah. That's a must.

Tim Stout:

Yeah. You know, I remember that. We had the longest church in the Archdiocese, a little St. Our church. And it was long, I mean, really long, no air conditioning. And the stations were all on the back wall. And we had a lot incense. It was hot. Kids were dropping like that cuz we went we went we went to stations every Friday during Lent just was was part of it. And it included benediction. And you know, it was hot. A lot of incense. No air conditioner, though those things typically don't meet well, so it really kind of set in my mind forever.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

I remember, it takes forever. Long.

Tim Stout:

Non Stop. It's very long. It will we did that. We taped our suspicions. Two weeks ago, I guess on a Sunday was up. Steve about 40 minutes. So I've shared that backup on the home homepage there, St. Francis and john on the Facebook page. So if you didn't see that yet, or if you just want to kind of replay stations for your devotional through third let it's on the Facebook page. And we're going to share that post again every Friday.

Dallas Kelley:

Or you can come in person 530 on Friday, and Tom Johnson is in charge of that.

Tim Stout:

He said I think they said there were five or six, just five or six people there today. So what were what came first the rosary are the Stations of the Cross. That's it for a trick question.

Dallas Kelley:

Well, the rosary if you there's still some dispute whether is it? St. Dominic in toilets toil so yeah,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Dominic is before Francis. Yeah.

Dallas Kelley:

So that is that when the station's came from it

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

came for a long time. But it's not official in a way until the Franciscan in holy land tried to build up the the El della Rosa

Tim Stout:

at the Camino but similar to

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

the road the road to cavalry in Jerusalem is a it's very beautiful. I was there a few years back very fascinated, but they themselves brought Rome permission to build the station itself and each station has a history behind that. And they end up become a fabric about ritual. Especially to inland and I mean,

Tim Stout:

I think it's a good Is that considered a devotional? Is that what you

Dallas Kelley:

mean? It's a good good devotion? Yeah. And I was reading something the other day on the rosary I believe was was in effect already. And then St. Dominic's seen a vision and marry me basically, push, you know, push the devotion and more than but it was already going on for some time.

Tim Stout:

Definitely pray the Sorrowful Mysteries in lent on Fridays, right? Fridays, Tuesdays and Fridays, right. I get that

Dallas Kelley:

Tuesdays and Fridays, but seemed like I read something a long time ago that they the Sorrowful Mysteries are every day of Lent. Have you read that? So anyway? I don't know. Cuz I read somewhere that it's asked Like I said, you can do the Glorious Mysteries every day. It's a private devotional. You know, it's another thing that there's no wrong way to do it. But it's normally Tuesdays and Fridays.

Tim Stout:

Yeah, it was a thing about that is is a grand night Knights of Columbus, which you know, you guys really need to be a member of the Knights of Columbus. Let no episode go by where we don't talk about you guys becoming an I know Columbus. Right, Father, hey, you go. Okay. We start all of our meetings with with the Rosary. And since our meetings are always on Wednesday, we always say the Glorious Mysteries. So I took the opportunity since our last meeting was in Atlanta to go ahead and use the Sorrowful Mysteries. But you're giving me permission, I can do whatever.

Dallas Kelley:

Whatever you want.

Tim Stout:

I can throw the rabbit devotion I can throw the luminous mysteries in there,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

which are sometimes in in some public devotional as a parent, if you decide to something do outside have been recommended. Boy people which

Tim Stout:

Yeah, that's kind of like follow the rules, right?

Dallas Kelley:

Just like at any funeral, when he has me do the rosary at a nursing home, you will always have me do the glorious, glorious no matter what day it is.

Tim Stout:

I mean, I think that fits the scenario and the Stations of the Cross. I think just kind of beer that a little bit the Sorrowful Mysteries. Yeah. Or I guess, depending on the timing one mirrors the other a little bit, right. Yeah. So any other history or, or thoughts on the Stations of the Cross? Do most churches, most parishes do stations?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yes. As at least in all my experience, but all churches have the station itself. But that's a requirement. Yes. It's part of the the

Tim Stout:

stones, the let the book I've got the book on my desk at home. I'm supposed to be writing my final paper on my master's degree on built on, Livingstone's. Yeah. coming to me. So that's in there is required. Did you know that? No, I did not.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Now, here's a trick question is Dallas. No, this the station across his position counter clockwise? in the church? You know that? every church, every church, it's supposed to be counter clockwise.

Dallas Kelley:

Supposed to be? Uh huh.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Is that interesting?

Dallas Kelley:

Or are you asking me why it's supposed to inform you if you want to search for that? Well, if you're not asking me the why behind it, yeah, I knew that. If you're asking me the why I don't have an answer for you.

Unknown:

No, I did not know that as an interesting topic.

Tim Stout:

I wonder if that's even in the in any journal or anything.

Dallas Kelley:

Now there has to be a reason behind it. Right? There

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

has to be reason I couldn't remember it was mentioned when I saw you live. That was one of the interesting is cat it kind of stick in your head when it was on you on that quite interesting.

Tim Stout:

counterclockwise, and I'm making tags I'm typing is here's one for you is every

Dallas Kelley:

station of the cross biblical?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

No, no, no. Right.

Dallas Kelley:

All right, like Veronica wipes his face that's not in the Scripture.

Tim Stout:

Are all decades of the rosary, biblical.

Dallas Kelley:

offhand. I'd say yes. You know, you're reflecting on a lot of the answer. You were you were asked to run the 20 things in the four mysteries, but I'd say yes, yeah, I

Tim Stout:

would probably say yes, I know, when we do. The way the Knights do the, the the rosary, we use a there's a little scripture verse that we say on each one, and we talk about what the fruit of the mystery is. And there's, there is a biblical quote, for each decade for sure.

Dallas Kelley:

So Well, I mean, you got things like Mary's assumption. Now. It doesn't say Where's assumption? I think we use the book of Revelation. Yes. Stuff like that. Yeah,

Tim Stout:

word hints of her assumption. This is where we'd get into an argument with our Protestant friends, right? It's all that's what the Bible says. But that's not what it says.

Dallas Kelley:

So, like the Trinity is in the concepts in Scripture, but nowhere you'll see Trinity in the bow. But

Tim Stout:

all Protestant religions want to be a Christian, you have to accept the Trinity. So

Dallas Kelley:

we would say that yes.

Tim Stout:

The last thing we kind of talked about this on my list list anyway, is fasting and abstinence. You know, when are we required by law to fast and abstain? When Yes,

Dallas Kelley:

that may. Or hey, you

Unknown:

either one of you.

Dallas Kelley:

By law, by law, you're you fast twice a year. On Ash Wednesday.

Tim Stout:

And Good Friday, Good Friday, Friday,

Dallas Kelley:

and you abstain on Ash Wednesday, and all Fridays of Lent.

Tim Stout:

And have you all noticed that every fast food restaurant has on their billboard right now that fishes back

Dallas Kelley:

coincidentally

Tim Stout:

Marketing. I know, Arby's fishes back, Wendy's got good fish, Burger Kings got big fish.

Unknown:

And well,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

you know, long john Silver's out, closed up.

Dallas Kelley:

And what about the ages of

Tim Stout:

good question? When do you have to fast? I'm saying what's the ages

Dallas Kelley:

14 to 59. And meet is for any age any eight, all the way to you, to me,

Tim Stout:

no matter what, no matter what, what if you're in a nursing home,

Dallas Kelley:

that's, yeah, there's, and there's, there's rules. The counter that, you know, medical needs, and, you know, well just like with meat, some like some people, their doctor, you have to eat a lot of iron. They're low on iron, you might have to eat meat. I mean, there's no yeah, fast.

Tim Stout:

I mean, I'm pretty sure. My mom's nursing home, they're eating me,

Dallas Kelley:

you know, fast days, and they're gonna bring me a fast day, you got to take you laughing cuz you know, that's, that is, you might have to take medicine three times a day on a fast day with food. So you have to eat food. So you know, there's a there's something for anybody with medical needs.

Tim Stout:

So, you know, let's kind of wrap this up just lit. What if somebody asked you Hey, man, what's the purpose of land? What would you say?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

I preach on Ash Wednesday.

Dallas Kelley:

March, my, the purpose of land, I always bring up your, you're walking with Christ for the 40 days that he's in a desert. you're you're you're you're trying to unite yourself with him as he is fasting also, and you're trying to unite with his sufferings that he was going through and it in it, it's a cleansing for us. It. It helps us overcome desires and things that if you can overcome, you know, if you can overcome something as simple as lengthen, you're not going to be able to overcome other things that go into life. And it prepares you for all that.

Tim Stout:

Ahead of that good.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yeah, the woodland itself is a spring. You know, oftentimes we see the woodland something dark, but in the Greek, Latin, it means the new spring. And what gives us the true spring is an Easter joy and we prepare for that newness. So farmer till the dirt, you know, seed and prepare for that spring training baseball go out fine tune they swing. You know, there's, I'm beginning to interesting, you know, during this time, I was like, what's going on? Was that last? isn't what day we have nice weather it was so like 65 Tuesday or Wednesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, right? Wednesday, and I went out walk nine holes, and I couldn't swing the club. So past few days that I did came back to how to stretch like golfer. So there's a lot in our spiritual too, right? We have to begin to stretch, you know, our hunger for Christ to stretch our faith to stretch. That's why we read more spiritually, like just like you want to read something. We tried to pray live a deeper, we do rosary we do station across, try to walk remember the thing that Jesus had done. So to renew ourselves in that so it it's it's renewing, you know, and the only thing I mean, it's a journey, right is a journey and it's it's really about who you are and who you want to be right.

Tim Stout:

I mean, how you want to transform yourself. change yourself. Who's preaching this weekend to skip this weekend? what's what's the gospel this weekend? nobody hears preaching so we pray.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

God gospel this week is done figuration?

Dallas Kelley:

Yes.

Tim Stout:

That was also this week, or? Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about the Berlin gospels that I've been reading there was there's a little place at the end of that. Have you looked at the book you get to? I'm writing every day, right. I'm writing That's good. That's writing something down even. Even if I struggle with it, you know, like what? I don't know. I don't get it. You know,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

I'm still writing right now. Yeah. And you go back a few days later.

Tim Stout:

What? What does that mean? So hey, lent 2021 let's let's hope they come out a lot this year. It's a whole lot different than coming out late last year. Late last year, we were going into a deep Darko. Let's Let's face it. COVID. COVID needs to go away. We got a question they're

Dallas Kelley:

asking for a friend. What of it? What What if one ate a sausage biscuit today accent Mentally and I always remind my kids when they and they asked me the same thing, sometimes you can never do anything wrong accidentally. So if it was 100% total forgiveness. You know, go start from the beginning, you know, like we talked about a while ago and you almost accidentally ate a pound

Tim Stout:

or a pound

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

you know, but sometimes it's good since you already have and you already bought already. Eat it. Right. And then do something. Here tour.

Dallas Kelley:

Yeah, right cuz I almost debate it. Eat it, because I've made it. They'll throw it well, I'll just save it for tomorrow. But you can say if you can save it, but if you've already made it ain't no sense of Thrones or you only pay for it, you know? And so no to answer your question, Mr. Berry, he did nothing to Mary.

Tim Stout:

Was it Mr. barrier? Was it one of Mr. Barry's

Dallas Kelley:

kids is Jason bear?

Tim Stout:

Well, confessions are

Dallas Kelley:

no there is no fault he did nothing wrong. Well,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Dallas Kelley:

My son last night son last week was coming home on a Friday he stopped and got him a two hot dogs. He comes in he said I hate hot dog one of them. Oh, today's Friday. brought the other one home put in the refrigerator.

Tim Stout:

To funny funny little 2021 Hey, st of the day. Here's the name you're ever this saint and I'm gonna get this wrong. st Maria bartylla postcard in

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

the postcard in

Tim Stout:

let's see what that sounds like. pronounced the correct way. This is Franciscan media saint of the day for February 26. Today we celebrate St Maria bartylla. moscardini if anyone knew rejection, ridicule and disappointment, it was today St. But such trials only brought Maria bartylla closer to God and more determined to serve Him. Born in Italy in 1888. The young girl lived in fear of her father, a violent man prone to jealousy and drunkenness. her schooling was limited so that she could spend more time helping at home and working in the fields. In 1904, Maria joined the Sisters of St. Dorothy and was assigned to work in the kitchen, bakery and laundry. Eventually, she received nurses training and began working in a hospital with children suffering from diphtheria. There, the young nun seemed to find her true vocation, nursing very ill and disturbed children. Later, when the hospital was taken over by the military in World War One. Sister Maria Portilla fearlessly cared for patients amidst the threat of constant air raids and bombings. She died in 1922, after suffering for many years from a painful tumor. Some of the patients she had nursed many years before were present at her canonization in 1961. There's more about the saints along with inspiration and Catholic resources at our website, Saint of the day.org. From Franciscan media, this has been st of the day. That was another Fast Track St. It sounded like anytime somebody who you minister to goes to your canonization. That's fast. Right. I have a lot of things nowadays done. Yeah, it

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

seemed to me it. St. JOHN bought to there is a an interesting culture in a Catholic tried to acknowledge a lot more saints. I think we need more example of sainthood in the church. That right now everybody can look at john Henry Newman right now of his influential his writing, and editing impact, and what would his canonization mean? We're soon to see, you know, to see that

Tim Stout:

Mother Teresa.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Example. Yeah.

Tim Stout:

And then the young the young kid, what was his name? Yeah,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

what he's name.

Tim Stout:

Don't talk about. They want to know his body was corrupted.

Unknown:

Yeah. Not corrupted. Yeah,

Tim Stout:

it was corrupt. It wasn't being corrupt. I watch that on the YouTube. You don't know which are parishioner. What's his name? Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Ray's channel he did a did a show on that. So if you're interested in that, I can't think of what the guy's name.

Dallas Kelley:

Tom I re saying all the state the

Tim Stout:

young kid. So,

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

so 14 years old, right.

Tim Stout:

Yeah. And then you got canonization calls that some of us feel is lost. Modern day. Well, Bishop Baron is the modern day. potent chain.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

That Carlos

Tim Stout:

kuti. Yeah, he's so foreign chain would be another one. Right? A lot of people eat ministered to still alive. So hey, thanks for joining us tonight. Support our ministry ss fj.org es es f j.org. You know, we were just talking before the show went on that this online ministry is is complicated. And it's important and even coming out of COVID, you know, we still want to do things a little bit different. Still want to broadcast liturgy on a regular basis, right. And so, you know, we need, we need your help. So if you'd like what you hear you'd like what you see SS f j.org. Or you can follow the link that's on the, on the page right there, ss Francis and Francis john.org will take you there to click on our homepage, click on giving online giving, support our ministry.

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

Yeah, I wouldn't throw a pitch out there to you know, as Deacon tambin tried to push this online ministry and then social media, I definitely consider that to support within our parents. If young people out there, you're so expert in this field, those who do a lot of work on social media. You know, we would love to have you thought of it either email, definitely email Deacon Tim. And then we can form of some type of committee, I think, to address this issues. I think it's very important for the good of ministry. So I really throw a push out there young people, especially, especially those really highly involved a knowledge of social media. Please contact Deacon Tim and we want to push this ad ourself the next phase as we add COVID and move forward with this ministry.

Tim Stout:

Yeah, I mean, basically the only channel we're really using Facebook, we use YouTube a little bit for our CMH right. Or Cz, I age, Christ in my home. But that goes out over Facebook as well. You know, there's a lot of other stuff out there, Instagram, Twitter, new stuff out there, clubhouse, just all kinds of stuff out there. And if you if you're familiar with it, we'd like to have you as part of it's good way for you to get back to your church. And good way. Remember, we're not trying necessarily to evangelize you. We're trying to evangelize the people. We don't know we're trying to paint so. So support the ministry. Give us a give us thing. Hey, next next show is Friday, March 12. That'll be the third Sunday, third week of Lent. So we're getting kind of halfway point there. Our guests will be Mr. Brent Mayer, the new interim principal. What's his official title?

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

President interim principal. I know I A aka Mr. Pip. Pip. Pip. Pip. Pip? Pip.

Tim Stout:

He's a pip. Pip, Principal interim principal. Yeah. Okay. So we'll learn a whole lot about that I'm sure we'll learn about a little bit about who Brent is, you know, maybe hear a little bit about his face story. Obviously, there's a lot going on you if you haven't, haven't seen the messages and the notes from father about the church and the school and what's going on a car, don't go to the website, click on those things. Obviously, there's a lot going on. We hope to use this medium to, to talk a lot about those things. And that's kind of the first step with Brent. Just to talk about Dan Martell is retiring, right, and Brent's taking over so we'll see how that goes. And if you got questions for Brent and your school, family or whatever, then join us ask questions directly. So anybody got any other thoughts? Who Who wants to give the blessing tonight? I didn't put it out. Oh, it does say Dallas. But

Dallas Kelley:

does it say that it does say as a piece of our Lord Jesus Christ be with everyone And with your spirit. And we asked Jesus, we asked you to be with us during this Lent. Give us the grace, the fall of you with the wholeheartedness of our bodies and souls. So we can one day spend eternity with you in heaven. And we asked the Trinity we ask God the One God bless Father, Son, Holy Spirit,

Unknown:

amen. Amen.

Tim Stout:

Okay, I'm not even gonna respond to that. Okay,

Dallas Kelley:

I did that. I did watch. How watch the mass. You said one guy. Might wanna explain it real fast. Go ahead. Who was this but he wanted to take it. In the mass from now on it started on Ash Wednesday. And you know, please have to give us time because we father has been saying it for years. He will no longer say helped me out here in the unity of the Holy Spirit. One One God forever and ever. It is the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. The one is obsolete.

Tim Stout:

It was a mistranslation

Dallas Kelley:

based translation from the beginning, it was not supposed to have the word one, we

Tim Stout:

blame it on the lead. Always, always, always blame it on the lead.

Dallas Kelley:

So it's gonna take a while when you're in a habit of years of saying that word.

Unknown:

Oh, boy.

Dallas Kelley:

But that's just in the literature. Okay. But the

Fr. Linh Nguyen:

alpha has not changed yet. Right, right. That's interesting.
