HELP: My Spouse is Controlling
with Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons
We continue our discussion on marriage and the attitudes, behaviors and difficulties that can tear at the delicate fibers that bond a man and woman together as husband and wife. According to our guest, Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, a controlling spouse is one of the great causes for a marriage to fail. Bishop Bruskewitz writes "It is a flawed marriage that smothers every vestige of the 'inner person' or that is hyper-possevice because of a lack of trust or because of a false love that disguises possession, ownership, or manipulation."

Program 14491
HELP: My Spouse is Selfish
with Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons
The spiritual and temporal reality of the marital union, requires surrender and sacrifice. It requires a persevering attitude of heart that constantly calls husband and wife to the gift of self-donation, a profound dying to self that places the will of God and the needs of the other above selfish considerations and desires. Such a marriage requires heroic virtue in any day and time, but perhaps especially in this our day and time. Our guest says selfishness is the major enemy of marital love, it devours the delicate bond that holds a man and woman together.

Honor: What It Is and Why We Need It: Part 1
with James Bowman
The story of honor has always been intertwined with the story of mankind. However, how honor is understood, what guides and informs it and the manner and mores in which it is lived out are as varied as the cultures of the world are different from one another. What is honor? Is there a singular definition that applies to all cultures in all places at all times? Can peoples, nations, and world powers co-exist in peace and tranquility if their understandings of honor are diverse and in tension? Our guest discusses these questions and their answers. He is the author of “Honor – A History”, and has written for prestigious newspapers and other publications. He is currently a resident scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington

What has taken honor’s place in our culture today? How deeply seated is it in the contemporary mindset? Can an honor culture be restored? Should an honor culture be restored?

The Cross in Our Lives: Living in Hope and Confidence
with Linda Santo, Lisa Valianti O’Brien
It's a scene that repeats itself every summer. A child is drowned in the family pool. In many cases, the end result is fatal. But in some, the child survives - fully recovered or not. While it is hard to understand such loss and the tragedy even more difficult to accept, God can and does work all things to the good - and sometimes, God's workings are miraculous. On August 9, 1987, life was about to change dramatically for Linda Santo, her family and most especially for her three year old daughter, Audrey. This was the day little Audrey fell into the family swimming pool and drowned. Audrey recovered, was rushed to the hospital, was overmedicated, and lapsed into a coma. Audrey remained non-moving and non-speaking for the next 20 years. But, in those 20 years, God worked signs and wonders in and about little Audrey. Linda Santo shares about her daughter Audrey, the supernatural phenomenon, and Audrey's case for canonization.

Dementia & Alzheimer's: The Challenge and the Triumph
with Ellen Edmonds
With fear and trepidation we await the diagnosis, and when the doctor pronounces the word "Alzheimer's" or "Dementia," our heart drops. Though we suspected it, hearing it named brings the reality into sharper focus. What will we do? How will we manage? And, oh, how hard it will be to see our loved one slip away from us one day at a time. Our guest today understands these emotions, in fact, she's lived them. She lost her husband Frank to vascular dementia and wrote a beautiful book about her experience called "Embracing Dementia: A Call to Love."

Spiritual Warfare: Engaging the Battle
with John LaBriola, Fr. Edmund Sylvia
Padre Pio said, “Let us always keep before our eyes the fact that here on earth we are on a battlefield and that in paradise we shall receive the crown of glory.” Make no mistake about it. There is a spiritual battle being waged and whether we realize it or not, we are right in the thick of it. The battle is the primordial one waged between the forces of good and the forces of evil, and the prize is the very heart of man. Our part is to engage the battle, to use the spiritual weapons in our arsenal, and to cling to the One who is the victor, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Selling the Culture Part 2
with Dr. William Brennan
We discuss one of the ploys that has been used by intellectual elites to manipulate the perceptions and beliefs of the world community. This technique has been used successfully to denounce the American Indian, sell slaves, marginalize women, dehumanize the vulnerable, and kill children and the elderly. Coined semantic gymnastics, this systematic approach to "hoodwinking" the American population has been successfully applied to turn a Judeo-Christian ethos into one of situational ethics, moral relativism, and narcissistic materialism.

April 19-25, 2010
Selling the Culture: Part 1
with Paul Rondeau
The use of marketing techniques to sell goods is nothing new. And the art of persuasion to do the same is ancient. However, the use of marketing techniques based on psychological processes and the use of new technologies to hoist ideologies, agendas, worldviews, morals and ethics upon an unsuspecting public- now that is something quite new indeed. And yet this is what has happened and is happening even as we spend this time together today. Here to talk with us about this reality, the techniques that are used, and the ways in which they have been used to supplant a Judeo-Christian ethos with something quite different is our guest, Paul Rondeau. He is a marketing expert and a researcher on crucial policy concerns in present day culture.

Confirmation: The Call to Knighthood
with Thomas K. Sullivan
Did you know that you are called to be a soldier for Christ? A warrior for the kingdom family of God? A knight at the table of the King of Kings? And did you know that one of the seven sacraments of the Church provides you with the strength and zeal you need to carry out this marvelous duty, so that you can accomplish great and holy things? Our guest tells us that Confirmation is the sacrament that is the least understood and the most underrated. In his book, Thomas Sullivan leads us on an exciting journey through Sacred Scripture to enlighten us to the sacraments importance and necessity in the life of the Christian. Along the way he debunks popular misconceptions about the sacrament and gives a compelling argument for lowering the age at which the sacrament is conferred.

Program 14374
The New Judiciary: Renegade Judges
with Phyllis Schlafly
What is the future of self-government in America? Will we continue to be the world’s greatest experiment, a self-governing people working to preserve and protect the liberty and prosperity that flows from freedom? Or will we give sway to a small group of powerful elitists who threaten to force their policies upon us, redesigning our institutions and culture to fit their own vision? Our guest today believes that the latter is very possible, and maintains that activist judges have been legislating an agenda opposed to religious values, conventional morality, the Constitution, and even the right of American citizens to govern themselves.

Socialism: Threat to Freedom
with Samuel Gregg
Socialism. The word incites a variety of emotions and a variety of questions. What is socialism? Does it take different forms? What is the relationship between socialism and liberty? Can socialism and democracy co-exist on any level or are they antithetical ideologies embracing totally different understandings of man, his world and his God? What does it mean to be free? Are there responsibilities that accompany freedom? How do our answers to these questions affect policy, legislation, and civil societies in general? These are just some of the questions our guest will answer for us.

Eyes to See and Ears to Hear: Reading and Heeding the Signs of the Times
with Fr. John Corapi, SOLT
It is clear that our day and time is unprecedented in human history. Technology, communication capabilities, and neo-pagan and neo-atheistic ideologies have coalesced to not only threaten, but all but bury, the Judeo-Christian ethos in the marketplaces of ideas and public policy. Today’s culture is a hostile environment for people of faith. Ridicule, mockery, and disdain have become the sentiments of the intellectual elite toward the Judeo-Christian fundamental values and those who hold to them. What is our response? What should it be? And, is it possible that each one of us has been born for a time such as this?

Program 14475
March 8-14, 2010
The Effects of the Psychologized Classroom
with Beverly Eakman
Our guest today maintains that the education establishment is stealing the minds of a generation of children in order to create a wrenching transformation of our society. In books and speeches, articles and expert witness testimonies, she has chronicled and heralded how our children have been coerced to become anti-property, anti-industry, undiscerning, sitting ducks for the global citizenry of tomorrow. How has this happened and where will it lead?

Learn to Discern: Is it Christian or New Age?
with Susan Brinkmann
When I first began to research the new age back in the late 80's, it was prevalent but still largely on the fringe. In the intervening decades however, it made steady strides and marched right into the mainstream of society. Today, so much a part of the cultural mindset has it become that it is all but transparent, barely visible if visible at all. However, its tenets and beliefs remain irreconcilable with the revealed truth of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church. The Labyrinth, Channeling, Neo-Paganism, Yoga, Reiki, healing touch, Harry Potter, The Twilight Series, Wicca, Eco-Spirituality. What do they all have in common? Though seemingly diverse, they all share in a confused notion of who God is, who man is, and what the world is - a notion incompatible with the revealed truth of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church - but a notion, worldview, that has led many into false spiritualities and practices.

February 22-28, 2010
Sex in the Classroom
with Mary Jo Anderson and Richard Fitzgibbons
While it is lamentable that Catholic parents must challenge government schools regarding the suitability of sex education for their children, it is reprehensible that they must wage the same battle in their parish and diocesan schools as well. Indeed, in the past decade we have seen the inclusion of a variety of sex education curricula being offered to children as young as 5 and 6, often accompanied by graphic language and illustration. What is the overall effect of such curricula? How does it usurp parental rights? In what ways is it compatible or not with Church teaching and a Catholic understanding of the human person?

Program 14473
February 15-21, 2010
The Catholic Leader
with Owen Phelps, and Mark Motzel.
To be a leader means that we know who we are and what we are about. It means we seek ways to influence and guide others even as we are influenced and guided beyond ourselves. It means we are willing to make a decision, stay the course, and finish strong.

Mental Illness: Faith, Victory, and New Life
with Guests Sandy McKay, Suzanne Baars, and Carole Eskridge.
Though the exact causes of mental disorders and mental illness are unknown, the historical record indicates that this malady of the human person has been with us from the earliest days of human history.
