Father Bob Shuts Me Down

I caught up with my favourite Catholic, Father Bob Maguire, for a chat on Monday and attempted to engage him on some of the subjects I’ve been discussing here lately. As I should have known, he didn’t want to know about it and just told me off. Listen to the fireworks.

Well thanks Mim but I would have enjoyed an argument, I don’t think it got that far. He wouldn’t engage!

Ha… Well that was a bit of a hoot.

I think Father Bob was of the opinion that you were attacking his beliefs personally and wasn’t happy about it. It’s kind’ve like asking a scientist, “So what’s all this nonsense about ‘dark matter’?”

Herne I don’t know of any scientist who would feel a debate about dark matter was a personal attack! Unless of course he was a Nibblonian.

Well, I mostly meant that if you imply that someone’s life’s work is mostly nonsense, then it kinda ticks them off!

Now get to writing that book on podcasting!
