    We discuss some listener feedback from Episode 15

    https://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/


    Main Topic: The Permanent Diaconate

    What is a permanent Deacon in the Latin Church?

    From Pope saint John Paul II address on the Jubilee year - https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/speeches/2000/jan-mar/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_20000219_jubilee-deacons.html

    Dear deacons, perhaps some of you are tired because of the burden of your duties, because of frustration due to unsuccessful apostolic projects, because many misunderstand you. Do not lose heart! Throw yourselves into Christ's arms:  he will refresh you. May this be your Jubilee:  a pilgrimage of conversion to Jesus.


    4. Faithful to Christ in all things, dear deacons, you will also be faithful to the various ministries the Church entrusts to you. How valuable is your service to the Word and to catechesis! And what can we say of the diakonia of the Eucharist, which brings you into direct contact with the altar of sacrifice in your liturgical service?
