    Use to really enjoy this podcast, but the constant sharing of Covid opinions and thoughts on government control is distracting from the actual content.

  • Prof Janet Smith

    Your interview with Professor Janet Smith is my favorite. I’m 58, so I don’t remember the TLM but I’m told our family went to it from the time I was born til I was about 5 or 6 so I think it’s in my subconscious. Anyway it feels like home to me. I go to Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Tacoma WA. FSSP. I can’t explain the joy and comfort I receive from the priests and the mass and the attitude of people at the mass. The adoration of God.
