The Chosen is probably the best screen adaptation of the Jesus story ever made. Bishop Bill Byrne of the Diocese of Springfield, MA joins us to talk about what it gets right about Jesus and his followers, and what it means for you and me. We discuss: - Can we trust the Bible stories? - Scandal in the Church - The Virgin Mary - Avoiding obscure theological debates - What to do when we feel broken - Political violence - Is evil winning? - And much more!
