#60 – Sowing the Word


We are all called as part to sow the seeds of the faith. Such evangelization requires word and deed, but the faith is always manifested in a particular culture. Today we hear some examples of people spreading the Good News and take a look at the problem of inculturation.

#57 – Animal Rights?


Sorry this is late. Went to DC and found that my file wasn’t getting uploaded to the server and after much searching, think I have found a fix. I’ll get another episode out on wednesday – assuming that technology is cooperative.

In this episode, we look at some great vocation sites on the web, including one site with pictures of the ordination of a priest. We talk about animal rights and what responsibilities we have as Catholics toward Creation. We also answer some e-mail questions about icons and the Sin against the Holy Spirit.
