    Father Bob, you are the most cussing priest I have ever heard.
    You might need to tone that use of four letter words down. That’s not a good model of Catholic behavior becoming a priest. Other than that, the show was interesting.
    You ever heard of Father John Corapi, an American priest, has own shows on EWTN satellite TV station??? He served in the Army and was not a good Catholic for a long long time, he was ordained in the 80s and is the best witness to the Catholic Church I have ever heard. And I have never heard him utter a four letter word in all the talks on TV and radio I have heard him in. Might you take example of this fine priest’s demeanor? Just a heartfelt suggestion. Later

    lewis, i thought podcasts were catholic…tell it as it is…i may be wrong…language is a matter of taste not good or bad…however,as paul advised,one should avoid giving offence.no offence intended.bobmaguire.

  6. Mark Says:

    although i dont agree with swearing, i do do it. and your swearing makes me laugh bob :) I guess my opinion is that no one is perfect, even priests. So there isn’t much point trying to be a ‘good model’, but rather to point people to the perfect model of how to live your life - Jesus

    keep up the good work bob

    Wow, cussing used as an adjective! I asked DREAD for a download outside of the podcast. Can you provide one of this show? I need to be elevated. thx.

  9. Cameron Says:

    Duchess - DREAD? Wasn’t that one of James Bond’s arch enemies? Or was it Maxwell Smart’s? Anyway… can you tell me more about what you want?

    Benetton was the company using the confronting photos to advertise their clothing.
    Have only just started listening (and after a marathon of 8 hrs of father Bob I’m only one show off catching up). I’d love to hear more on the church without borders stuff (I get to talk with a a lot of disaffected 20-30 somethings who are committed to Christianity but are not keen on church) Also I amy have some ideas on the getting volunteers out in the street thing as I coordinate a program in WA that does just that. http://www.drugarmwa.org.au/streetvan.htm . Any way, really appreciate the show keep up the good work! Also can you get rid of the ridiculous noise when someone swears - thanks.

    I love the passionate/pacifist blend of show you boys produce.
    Don’t change a thing … more of the same please gents !
    Bob I’m nearly 49 & catchin’ you up; been to your church once & loved it !
    You farewelled my good friend Tony from Kew.
    I’m a ‘C & not E’ kinda guy & the way you think & speak Bob, fits right in there for me.
    Just what I need at his point in my life. Thanks heaps.

    Hi!
    I’m a long time listener from Oslo, Norway.
    Just thought I’d point you at this site:
    http://press.benettongroup.com/ben_en/image_gallery/campaigns/?branch_id=1109
    It’s a collection of images from the same campaign you have mentioned (with the smoking child). The image in question is not shown, but I distinctly remember it being a part of a typical “controversial” Benetton campaign.
    Ringing a bell?

    Thanks Jostein, that’s a great link!
