OOPS! I somehow managed to create the longest podcast episode in Christus Vincit/iSNARK! history, surpassing the 2007 Easter special by just about two minutes! That is basically because our What Did We Sing Today still came out longer than normal, and I even dropped several pieces I recorded! Oh well, try to enjoy anyways!
Anyhoo, today we talk about my new pet project, influenced by the book pictured at left, and A Living WHAT?!, a ranting on how one publisher killed a good, solid, Catholic classic! 
Feasts for the Week:  July 4-17. 
Commercials (the three usuals, scattered)

Christus Vincit Semi-live in the living room: Hey, we're like, tired, ya know. We've been doing so much time at the softball field lately that it's become our second home. What's nice though is that Brittany made all-stars, so I'm as proud as a dad can be. But today, we go semi-live in the peace, quiet, comfort, and solace of our own living room, while we play and discuss our music for Corpus Christi. We had a Procession after the Saturday Mass as well.

Music:
1. Ave Verum Corpus (music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
2. O Salutaris Hostia (music by Anthony Werner)
3. Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All (tune: Sweet Sacrament)
