Can You Be a Catholic AND a Feminist? feat. Samantha Povlock, FemCatholic

Secular feminism has had an often negative connotation throughout the decades of the women's movement. But feminism doesn’t have to mean Butler, Sanger or de Beauvoir. It can mean the Teresas (of Avila, Lisieux, Calcutta and the cross), it can mean Gianna and Gemma and Joan. It can mean the teachings of the church and of JPII on the inherent dignity of women, the right of women to pursue their callings and the end of violence against women. Today, Samantha Povlock of FemCatholic joins us to help unravel and embrace this new integrated version of being a woman.

Theology of the Body: the answer to life, the universe, and everything - feat. Bill Donaghy, TOB Institute

If you've ever heard of Theology of the Body and thought "oh, that's that one about sex," you're not alone. Today, we're unpacking St. Pope John Paul II's teachings on Theology of the Body with senior lecturer at the TOB Institute, Bill Donaghy, and discovering it's not just about sex, it's about what it means to be human.

Pro-Life Policymaking - feat. Eric Failing, PA Catholic Conference

The pending ruling in the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization case with the Supreme Court has fired up a lot of passion, fear, and continued to fuel an on-going debate surrounding abortion. To help shed some light on the political "man-behind-the-curtain," we're sitting down with PA Catholic Conference Executive Director, Eric Failing, to talk about what this potentially monumental decision means for us and what pro-life policies are currently in the works in Harrisburg.

The Art of Forgiveness - feat. Deacon Gregory and Ellen Amarante

Forgiveness is essential in our faith and in our everyday relationships, but sometimes, it is extremely difficult. Today we're discussing practicing forgiveness like Jesus did with Deacon Gregory Amarante and his wife Ellen, and how we can effectively forgive others and ourselves over time.

Pentecost: The Birthday of the Church and Evangelization - feat. Father Jonathan Sawicki

Today we celebrate Pentecost as both the end of the Easter Season and the birthday of the Church. Much like the apostles who were touched by the Holy Spirit, we're called to spread the good news too, but how can we do it without feeling weird? Father Sawicki, director of vocations, shares with us some practical tips and tricks for modern day evangelization.

Chakras + the Church: When the Pursuit of Perfection Becomes Dangerous - feat. Fr. John Szada

When you think of possession and making yourself vulnerable to evil spirits, you're probably thinking playing with tarot cards or Ouija boards, not personal development, right? New trends in the realm of personal growth sound great in theory, but may actually be opening us up to attack, not blessings. Father John Szada, exorcist for the Diocese, explains how growth without God could be very dangerous.
