As always, I loved the episode. My favorite segment was the Donald Trump segment. The crazy nesting dolls of weddings, a look at the law, and all the cultural references had us both learning and laughing. I appreciated the look at TC but you did promise last week a look at the new Apostolic Letter on the Liturgy. And speaking of unfulfilled promises, JD I am deeply disappointed that you have to date failed to fulfill your end of the Vatican Trial bet which was that in the June 30th episode you would provide us with a limerick (naughty?) regarding the summary of the case to-date. As a reminder, you are obligated to do this because Ed was right and there have been substantial trial proceedings. As a long-time listener and monthly supporter, I do expect you to fulfill your bet, just as I would have expected Ed to fulfill his had you been right. I await said limerick. Thanks in advance and both of you keep up what you are doing.
Regarding the baptism of the first husband of Mrs. Ivana Trump (RIP), which is relevant for the analysis, it matters if it happened or not, but also, does it matter when did it happen ? For example, if it happened before their marriage ? Or at any point on his life ? I can't remember the last name of the ski instructor, so forgive me for the references. But what about if he was baptized later in life ? Doesn't that change the status of his marriage ?
It's important to note that there is no way Cardinal Roche promulgated his dubia without the approval of Pope Francis. While that doesn't change the legal authority of the dubia, it does shed light on Pope Francis' intentions. It's not Francis the reasonable writer of TC who wants to respect the ecclesiology of Vatican II and Roche the power hungry power hungry prelate willing to usurp the rightful authority of worldwide bishops. Rather the two are acting in unison with one another and are together undermining the ecclesiology of Vatican II in a supposed attempt to save it liturgically.
I must admit I was a little put off by the mentioning of The Bachelor, but the analysis of the marriages was absolute gold. It became better when the issue of Mr. Ski-instructor's baptismal situation came up. Brilliant!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Donald Trump bachelor segment! Good stuff!
From the distinction between concubine and consort to the Miss Marples slips, the Trump segment was gold.

I always enjoy hearing about JD’s favorite Roman hotel, [REDACTED].
I was thinking to myself while listening that it wasn't a safe assumption that because Ivana was born in communist Czechoslovakia she wasn't baptized.

Looks like Donald Trump is not a bachelor, if I've remembered all the conditions correctly.
