Kresta in the Afternoon

This Sunday’s Gospel takes us to the Wedding Feast at Cana and Jesus’ first miracle and Mary told the servers to “Do Whatever He Tells You.” We look at what happened through the eyes of Scripture and history with Steve Ray.

Dobbs v Jackson is currently the biggest pro-life story in the country and will go down as one of the most important stories of the last several years. But that doesn’t mean we should overlook other important pro-life stories. Alyssa Murphy gives us her top pro-life moments of 2021.

Christians may not have the social influence we once did, but in all areas of life you can still find Catholics who are committed to integrating their faith and their everyday life.

George Orwell once observed that “At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.” What does this “orthodoxy” look like today? What so-called truths are we all supposed to accept? Al discusses.

In some teachings, Jesus was two millennia ahead of what psychology is only now coming to understand. And in other ways, He directly contradicts what today’s therapists teach. For years now, we have seen a so-called “Gospel of Self-Esteem” that equates Meekness with insecurity. But Jesus told us that the Meek would inherit the Earth. Dr Ray Guarendi joins us.
