Fr. Matthew Spencer joins Patrick to discuss the Presentation of the Lord What is the presentation? (7:58) Why is obedience so important? Mark - Obedience.  What about blind obedience when it comes to higher ups in the church. How does a young priest follow that when they come up with different policies? (20:09) Break 1 Nick - Love the topic. Scott Hahn...old testament hidden in new.  The real presentation is so beautiful and how they come together. Our religion is the religion of the cross. (26:40) What is the importance of Anna and Simeon in the story of the presentation? (33:34) John - Trying to integrate the first sorrowful mysteries with the presentation. Where was Joseph? (40:25) Break 2 (41:31) Diane - In my pre Vatican II missal, it was considered the end of the Christmas season with the presentation.  Why did that change? What is Candlemas in the Church?
