      Segment 1: “I have not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it.”

      In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells His disciples that he has “not come to do away with the Law, but to fulfill it.” In doing so, He deliberately places Himself in the grander covenant story of Israel and the drama of Salvation history. Marcus takes a look.

      Segment 2: A Vaccine for the Pandemic of Lunacy (3 segments) What is happening to the world? Why does it seem like everyone has gone insane? Why are so many things that seemingly everyone believed the day before yesterday suddenly held to be retrograde, hateful, or even criminal? And why are things that everyone seemed to view as lunacy the day before yesterday suddenly taught or even required? J. Budziszewski says it’s time we declared a pandemic of lunacy – and he has an antidote. He joins us.
