…in a few minutes (1 Eastern, to be precise,) I’m going to be a guest on this show out of a public radio station in San Francisco. I think you can listen online.

I was initially told that the topic would be seminary visitation, but I see from the website it has now been transformed into, of course, the question of homosexuals in the priesthood. Sigh. Anyway, I was kind of nervous  – and I’m never nervous about media, especially radio – about the set-up, but I just got a call saying that one of the other guests has been replaced by Fr. Michael Sweeney, co-founder, with Sherry Weddell, of the Siena Institute. That’s better.

Okay, done. Boy was that awful – from my perspective. I can deal with not having time to make my point, but it’s really hard when the babysitter let the baby take a morning nap and he’s so not sleepy, so I’m walking around the house behind him, phone in hand, trying to listen and compose some thoughts.

Anyhoo. Look for that Purge, coming anytime to a diocese near you. As if. God bless Fr. Sweeney. He did a nice job. I think I was mostly just frantic and overheated.
