This week on the Catholic Duluth Show we are talking about non-ideal situations. What do we mean by "non-ideal" situations? We mean when things don't go the way that they are supposed to. Recently, you may have heard the news that one of the priests in the diocese left the priesthood, this is something that doesn't happen all the time but it's not uncommon. Divorce is another event that happens but is not intended when a marriage first begins. So how do we deal/ work through that when things don't go that way they they're intended to? We discuss this from a personal view as well as a community view on how we can think and act in these situations.

Pope Paul VI said "The world listens to witness more than they listen to teachers, and if they do listen to teachers it is because they were witnesses first."

What does it actually look like to witness our faith in our everyday life? What fears hold us back from being witnesses?
