WOW! On this episode we interview Bill Wells, mayor of El Cajon, CA. (Where we live and go to church!) We talk about everything from his days as a clinical psychologist, to tackling homelessness as mayor, lockdowns, taxes, and God's leading in our lives, even when we're not looking for it! Bill is a humble guy with a lot to talk about, and his candor and honesty is refreshing in a world of  doublespeak and rhetoric. And he's just a nice guy! Bill talks a lot about the root causes of homelessness- how some of the solutions being used aren't helping the problem- living in a multicultural city, and following the science.  He is a man of strong faith, and his leadership has landed him on national news.

We've been looking at a number of stories lately covering some specifically Catholic issues and today I'm going to see what I can find out about:What does it mean to "burn the eucharist?"What is the significance of "denying communion?"Why would the Pope double-promote a Bishop to Cardinal?What does that promotion say about his broader policy?Kevin goes solo today to interview his Knights of Columbus friend, Andrew Hayes to get a Catholic's perspective on these issues.

There's been a couple of high profile trials in the news this week, from defamation  suits to lying to the FBI. If there's one thing they taught us, it's that there's a difference between the end of a trial and justice.  But if there's one thing God promises  us it's that he will bring His righteous judgment and justice, and that when man's laws get it wrong, HE will set it right.Also, do you know anything about Catholic hierarchy? Apparently we don't. Reach out to us at HeadlineTheology.com and drop us an email or leave us a voicemail!
