Some correction: Nunavut is a territory, not a province.

Also Iqaluit have a mayor who wanted to remove Catholic Church's charitable status. Idk if it's related to why the city is chosen for a visit, but it'll be interesting to see how the mayor will treat the Pope. https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/iqaluits-mayor-wants-to-tax-citys-churches/

And please, no more time wasted discussing a canonical marital status of a non-catholic married 3x, none of them in a Catholic Church. One hour is long enough. We know that none of him nor his 3 supposed wives give a damn about the canonical marriage, why should we care about their status to it?

Please cover more relevant thing like how ICKSP is being kicked out of Archdiocese of Chicago.

Because it involves their immortal souls?

"Please cover more relevant thing like how ICKSP is being kicked out of Archdiocese of Chicago."

Has there been an actual announcement by either the ICKSP or the Archdiocese confirming it's happening? Because I've not seen anything concrete besides rumors.

They're known fornicators, and not been repentant as far as anyone knows. Plus other sins that are not as public.

> nor his 3 supposed wives

One wife and two concubines, not necessarily in that order, and since you never know who is going to become Catholic (or return to the faith after a lapse) it's always important to know how to figure out which is which, not only for their own sakes but for the sake of *anyone* who subsequently entered (or enters) into the growing network of serial attempted-marriage. Endlessly fascinating. (Not to you, I grant.)

Thanks Ed and JD for a wonderful podcast as usual. Love the banter as usual (btw how can I sponsor banter instead of an ad?).

I loved the comparison between Her Majesty's travels and His Holiness' as well as recommendations for leaving to go to an annointing of the sick (there must be ways to ensure the need is actually legitimate just in case His Holiness calls Father's bluff, right?).

Also the O Canada segment was quite enlightening.

JD, I'm now getting very disappointed in the lack of limerick. I demand a Vatican trial limerick! You promised! And I shall keep hounding until you fulfill that promise.

Also I need a level head to help with the Liturgy Wars saga.

Thanks for all you do.
