Clear Creek Monastery – Fr. Bachmann talks to use about chanting
About our drink:
Broken Arrow Brewing – Clear Creek Saison
Saith Saison, French meaning “Season”. A style of farmhouse ale from the Northern regions of France and Belgium. Named in honor of the Saint Benedictine monks that first traveled to Indian Territory in 1875. They returned in 1999 to build their Clear Creek Abbey outside of Hulbert, OK. This is quite carbonated with fruity, floral, and earthy aromas with a hint of spice. Slightly sweet with a golden straw hue.
About our gear:
This book contains the propers and ordinary of the Mass for the whole year as well as the chants for the Divine Office according to the Roman Rite of 1962
About the Topic:
Why do we chant? What’s the difference between chanting and singing? If we sing, do we pray twice? What if we sing badly, does it still count? We talk about this and more with Fr. Bachmann from Clear Creek Abbey.

"Olivia Newton John" cohosts an interesting episode that kicks off with some great news for the show balanced with Taylor bombing his last talk.
Taylor made a mistake coaching his football team and it made him remember some very gloomy Scripture passages...that eventually leads to quite a deal of laughter.
Finally, Taylor and Liv chat about how sometimes hearing things in a negative light actually make you understand them positively. Strange. Enjoy!

Relativism is confusing and wrong. How can we refute it?
Questions Covered:
- 13:41 - My mother-in-law is agnostic. When I try to talk to her about the Catholic Church, she says things like, “All religions promote peace,” as if there are no differences among the different faiths. Is this relativism? How can I respond?

- 34:05 - Are you saying that you shouldn’t force your opinion on someone?
- 43:48 - How can I respond to “I feel” arguments from relativists?
- 48:00 - Can you give me some tips on how to respond to pro-choice people who say, “What if it was your daughter/you were in their situation…” etc.?
- 51:44 - Do the ends ever justify the means?
