Extra special show today! Catechism included. Thanks to all and thank you Robby for talking about just war. Something we hear too little about these days. Honestly unless you are a student, you don't hear about it. So thank you. Diana and Jemar thank you both for your wonderful insights as well.

"Normalcy as resistance" - interesting thought. Like the couples of Sarajevo who had babies as resistance back in the 90's.

The familiar, the quotidian, the everyday -- are great gifts. We often overlook them in good times. Yet when chaos abounds, "normal" (whatever it may be in our context) shines like a beacon!

Diana's comments about normalcy as resistance made me think of this poem (and actually, so much of our collective life right now makes me think of this poem). https://poetrysociety.org/poems/a-brief-for-the-defense

Great poem! "We must admit there will be music despite everything."
