Has anyone had issues with this show 250? When I try to sync with my Sansa in Winamp I get an unknown error. I tried deleting and downloading again same issue only on this show. Thanks.
When I analyze the file, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.. does it play on your computer?
Dear Fr. Roderick,
Jack
I’m glad to hear that you enjoy Chinese cooking. I think there’s another essential ingredient in Chinese cooking besides garlic and ginger: soy sauce. I hope you’re able to get good soy sauce in Amersfoort.
Yes, I mentioned soy sauce briefly too. I’ve got all the right stuff here, imported directly from China.
Joseph Campbell died in 1987, and HP was published in 1997, so it seems unlikely that Campbell wrote about Potter explicitly (in particular). I assume that she meant that he wrote about the hero type. See this paper by a student at the University of Florida as an example:

Following Vatican II there have developed two types of groups that have fallen on either side of the Catholic Church, the anything-goes “Spirit of Vatican II” groups and the nothing-goes “Traditionalist” groups. Neither type seems to be what it claims. The former takes the ‘Spirit’ beyond anything recognizable in the council documents, and the latter rejects the right of the Pope (even in ecumenical council with the other bishops) to modify the disciplines of the Church. Both reaffirm the importance of the role of the Pope in guiding the Church through the last two millenia.

Hey Fr. Roderick! Great show! I have the Samsung 225BW which is pretty much identical to your new 226BW, except that mine has a 5ms response time instead of your faster 2ms time. Now when I look at my screen, I wonder, hey Fr. Roderick is looking at the same kinda screen too!
Keep up the great podcasting!
I was a little taken back when you mentioned, at the end, how some had taken your criticism of “traditionist Catholics” the wrong way… I knew exactly what you were talking about when you said it, in DB#249.
You were correct is saying that Euorpeans use the word in a different context than Americans.
I found two entries on Wikipedia that seems very helpful (although one must remember that Wikipedia isn’t always the “best” source).
Article One: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditionalist_Catholic
Article Two: (a Category)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Traditionalist_Catholics
I really like your idea of doing a series of podcasts about the matrix.
