https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vbycx-145817d Always I am in search of a guide. Of course, there isn’t just one. Fulton Sheen. Faustina. Teresas of Avila and the Little Flower. And now I add another model of faith, Bruno Lanteri. His way is, “doable” indeed.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-gmchs-143f506 Last week, a working document was published apropos the Synod on Synodality.  When asked about a section related to those who feel unwelcome, the divorced and civilly remarried, the polygamous and the gay community, someone asked Cardinal Hollerich about how these concerns played into the teachings of the Church. I was listening to anotherContinue reading “Whither Goes the Synod: Will Somebody Help Me?”
