Have you ever had a question so hard you thought you could stump your priest? Well during a talk at this year’s Diocesan Youth Conference a group had a chance to do just that! Fr. Vernon Knight and Fr. John Johnson hosted a talk where people could ask what every they had on their heart. You might be surprised by some of the answers, and even by some of the questions, ranging from extra books in the Bible, to free will and the consequence of sin, and even Catholics view’s on gay marriage. We hope you enjoy being a fly on the wall to their discussion. We did!

What comes to mind when you think of the 1920’s? Jazz? Economic prosperity? How about bigotry and hate speech directed at Catholics? If that last one doesn’t come to mind when you think of the early teens and 20’s, that thanks in large part to the efforts of dedicated men and women who made up the Catholic Laymen’s Association, a group formed in Georgia to combat the rampant anti-Catholicism that could be found in newspapers at the time. Today we’re going to talk with Bishop J. Kevin Boland, and hear from Mr. John Markwalter, a long time and prominent member of the Catholic Laymen’s Association on why the fact you might not have ever heard of the Catholic Layman’s Association means they were successful. Archival issues of the Bulletin of the Catholic Laymen's Association from 1920 to 1960 can be found here: http://scr.stparchive.com/

As a Universal Church, the Catholic Church finds itself in a special position to help those in need both nationally, and internationally. Today we’re speaking with representatives from Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services about what they do and how their agencies are on the front lines serving the people they encounter.

How do we deal with the spiritual wounds in our life, and how do we let the grace of God in to heal us?  Fr. Chris Ortega and Abbie Byron-Goslin talk about spirital healing in this episode of It's Catholic Y'all - Casual Conversations. 

The year 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, but for many people the events leading up to the Reformation are a mystery – almost as if Martin Luther simply nailed his  95 theses on the church door in Wittenberg and the modern Catholic and Protestant Churches we know sprung into existence. But as with most things; reality is much more complex. Luckily we’re joined today by Fr. Michael Kavanaugh, Pastor of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church on Wilmington island, and Director of Ecumenism for the Diocese of Savannah and he's going to shed some light on the background of the Reformation for us. 

In this It's Catholic Y'all special episode we're calling Podcast of a Country Priest we're talking with Fr. John Johnson, Pastor of St. Christopher Catholic Church in Claxton and its Missions. Fr. John grew up in Augusta, but for the past several years has been pastor of a rural and largely immigrant congregation. He's here to share with us some of the more exciting things he's experiences, and what hes learned in rural ministry.   

July 17th, 2017 - In this episode of It's Catholic Y'all - Casual Conversations Fr. Chris Ortega and Abbie Byron-Goslin talk about our identity as sons and daughters of God. When we embrace our Catholic identity, how does that inform how we live our lives?  

In this episode of It’s Catholic Y’all we’re excited to bring you the first installment of Casual Conversations with Abbie Byron-Goslin and Fr. Chris Ortega. Abbie is a lay campus minister, and Fr. Chris is a priest with the Diocese of Savannah. This week they’re talking about the recent trip Fr. Chris took to a conference on youth ministry, what it was like for each of them growing up Catholic and the importance of practicing the faith as a whole family.  

St. Pope John Paul II’s teaching of the Theology of the Body is such a fascinating and dense topic, we’ve had Abbie Byron-Goslin, Director of Campus Ministry for the Diocese of Savannah join us again to continue our discussion on what it can mean for our lives. 

Between 1979 and 1984 St. Pope John Paul II delivered a series of lectures at his Papal Audiences that would come to make up what we know as the Theology of the Body. These writings were a reflection on the nature of our humanity, and are a work that the world is still trying to understand. We were joined by Abbie Byron-Goslin, the Director of Campus Ministry for the Diocese of Savannah to talk about this fascinating teaching.
