Robert P. George will be joining me on “Connecting the Dots” today

He dropped me a line the other day saying, “Well, Brother Mark, the Holy Father has now made everyone mad at him but me and you.”  That seemed like a great reason to have him on the show today with me and Rod Bennett. 🙂  You can listen in live at 5 PM Eastern here.  Feel free to call in and join the conversation at 1-573-4BREAD4.  You can also tweet us @breadboxmedia.
