While the cat's away the mice will play. Lino returns from his trip to Cincinnatti to discover that the box of Girl Scout cookies he left on his desk is nearly empty. An on air-trial ensues in which producer Maureen, Adam Hamway from "The Catholics Next Door" and Brett Siddell of the "Busted Halo Show" admit they all had their hands in the cookie jar. Maureen claims Lino deserved to have the cookies stolen, Adam is somewhat contrite and Brett says he'd do it again. Lino deems them all sinners. Lino shares his weekly general audience, including a requisite Pope Benedict XVI impression. Then Lino asks listeners who they think should write a blurb for his upcoming book "Sinner". Fr. Rob suggests 80s TV star Webster, to the delight of everyone instudio.

Lino starts off with a story about a harrowing flight back from Cincinatti and reveals that he always silently prays to himself before takeoff. Campus minister Fr. Jim Chern talks about his overwhelming fear of flying and why he always goes "full priest" and prays aloud on planes. Then Lino updates the crew on his 9 day novena to St. Therese of Lesieux. He prayed he would see roses and on the 8th day of the novena small roses appeared in the office. Listeners took a crack at what Lino had prayed about; guesses included the priesthood, marriage and what type of sandwich he should eat. Turns out Lino was praying whether or not he should stay at The Catholic Channel. No worries! St. Therese of Lesieux said he should stick around. |

Then the crew switches gears and plays a clip of Fr. Rob singing Journey on the pilgrimage cruiseship. Plus, Lino talks to Fr. Rob about his near death experience in Rhodes and Fr. Rob explains what it was like to have his life saved by Maureen "the big fat liberal." |

Lino, Fr. Rob and Maureen broadcast live from the Paul VI auditorium in Vatican City. They are joined by Fr. Dave Dwyer of the Busted Halo to talk about the legacy of Blessed Pope John Paul II. Lino explains why he thinks it's great that Bl. Pope John Paul II is on a fast track to sainthood, and the always controversial Fr. Rob makes a different case. Lino, Fr. Rob and Fr. Dave share personal stories about meeting Bl. John Paul II, and Lino determines his story is the best. The crew talks about a late night spent eating and drinking green sambuca in Rome, and Fr. Dave laughs like a hyena. |
