In this episode, Jason was blessed to be able to have an amazing discussion with Sister Mary Josefa, OSB of the Congregation of The Benedictines of Mary about the role and function of nuns and women religious in the Church today. Sister Mary was also kind enough to take time to discuss the discernment process and how young women who feel called to serve the Church in consecrated life should properly answer and investigate this most important call.

In this episode, Mark and Jason head east in our first effort to cover the different churches and rites within the Catholic Church. We start with the Byzantine Rite, which has several distinct churches within it. More specifically we go over the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, also simply known as the USA as the Byzantine Catholic Church.
We were honored to have two friends join us who attend the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, Heath Vogel and James Battle. They provided excellent insight from a layman's perspective. If you haven't ever attended a Divine Liturgy at the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, we highly encourage you to do so. You will be struck by the beauty and reverence that our eastern brethren have.

In this episode, Mark gives his personal reflection on the state of the Catholic Church on the 60th anniversary of the convening of the Second Vatican Council. This is not an expert opinion from a respected and credentialed Catholic journalist. You can find those almost everywhere else. This is a sober and honest discussion from the perspective of an average layman. In that spirit it is submitted for you here.

This is a very interesting talk about Sacrosanctum Concilium. You may or may not find the conclusions reached in this talk convincing. In my experience, however, it is the only explanation of the thinking of the council fathers on this document that makes coherent sense and, when understood in this light, made me actually love this document:

In this episode, Mark takes a few minutes to give a bird’s eye view of your rights under the U.S. Constitution as regards possible encounters with law enforcement. I know it seems like a strange topic for a show about Catholicism but there are some alarming stories about law enforcement agencies harassing or targeting pro-life ministries and those individuals active in that apostolate. Thus, we thought this might be a good opportunity to give a brief overview of exactly what your rights are and the best way to handle an encounter with the Police. This is by no means exhaustive nor does this constitute legal advice. As always, for specific advice relating to a situation you have had, please contact an attorney in your state for legal help.
