Join Fr. Harry Linsinbigler and Fr. Anthony Perkins as they (mainly) talk about the actual formula decided on at Nicea, why it was important, and where we are now (hint: we are completely in compliance!).  There's also a tangental gem on the Masoretic vs. Septuagint Old Testament.  Fr. Harry has (mostly) recovered from his bout with COVID and he and Fr. Anthony are still basking in the Paschal Glow.  Enjoy the show!
 
NOTE:  the original recording was truncated during the upload (thanks for the head's up, Dave!).  It's better now.
