The saints share precious insight into the deepest longings of the heart of Jesus.
Segment 1: SSPX Doubles Down on Vatican Defiance (2 segments)The Priestly Society of St. Pius X says it will proceed with plans to consecrate new bishops on July 1 without a pontifical mandate, despite a Vatican warning that the move would represent a “decisive rupture” of communion and bring “grave consequences” for the group. Matthew Bunson reports on this and other Church news.
Segment 2: Fasting as an act of love (2 segments)
Why should we bother fasting? Why do those ascetical practices in Lent or any other time? Why bother with this self-discipline, this extra penance, especially if we’re already living fairly moderate lives? Isn’t it better to eat, drink, and be merry, given that we might die tomorrow? We talk with David Deavel.
“Why isn’t fish considered meat?” This question opens a discussion on dietary laws and traditions within the Church. Other topics include the role of extraordinary ministers of holy communion, the appropriateness of taking a female saint’s name for confirmation, and the Church’s stance on organ donation, showcasing a variety of inquiries related to faith and practice.
