## Resource

Steve says the controversy with the Vatican bestowing an honor upon an Iranian diplomat is entirely believable, because this pope (and the previous one) has been nothing more than a rubber stamp for civilization's enemies. Then, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) joins the program to discuss his work in the Sharia Free America Caucus and the fundamental issues surrounding the assimilation (or not) of Muslims in the United States. In Hour Two, Theology Thursday is a conversation about men, women, headship, and responsibility.
