This week, Bishop talks about hymns and the importance of lyrics that precisely reflect Catholic doctrine. Then it's on to St. Andre Bessette...a humble doorkeeper with a local connection whose feast day we celebrate today.

From the USCCB's Committee on Doctrine, this is the link for Catholic Hymondy at the Service of the Church: An Aid for Evaluating Hymn Lyrics

Listener-submitted questions:

* Why is there so much focus and enthusiasm for a Christmas tree?

* Do you have a favorite Christmas ornament?

* I've been seeing ads for Exodus 90 everywhere. Is it a program you have tried? Would you recommend it for all men? What fruit have you seen from it?

* What's a good New Year's resolution? What should we start doing or stop doing?
