Episode 115. Today's episode was another "this sounds like a fun idea" that quickly came to fruition. I logged into the YouTube TV app on my phone and saw that the Oprah Special on the weight loss GLP-1 meds was being recorded. The show was titled: An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution I watched a little bit of it, but then decided to come back and watch the recording the next day. I quickly sent a Voxer text to Dr. Kim Daniels to ask if she was watching and if so, if she wanted to record a podcast episode about it. Mainly, I noticed quickly in the part that I watched that very little focus was put on the potential root causes of the food noise. I thought, "this would be fun to review with Kim" and so here we are. What to Expect in this Episode Kim and I have a conversation about our general impressions of the TV special including some of the many things we believe they failed to address In the episode we try to be as un-biased as possible, but we recognize we have major biases and a lot of privilege that impacts how we approach this situation We talk about some of the aspects we wish were discussed and how we had hoped for a more balanced conversation We talk about the concept of obesity as a disease and also the statements like "release the shame" and our thoughts on these nuanced topics We also talk about how Internal Family Systems theory can help us understand the many strong opinions as it relates to these topics, and how an IFS approach could really be useful as we are trying to truly examine root causes We talk a bit about the concept of food noise and early relationships with food and how they might contribute to symptoms as an adult My hope and belief is that this conversation is not pro or anti medication, but simply an expansion on the aspects of weight loss and these controversial medications coming from two psychologists Join the Innovative Therapist Book Club Today!

It means looking out for the people on the edges, and bringing us all together to build a world that actively cares about those on the margins.Kim is the director of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown Univeristy, where is is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. She is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Chicago Law School. In 2016, Kim was appointed by Pope Francis as a Member of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication.

A few months ago Ron DeSantis blocked an AP African American course, by stating that they were trying to use Black History to shoe horn in Queer theory.  This did not sit right with the African American Community, So Benjimen Crump petitioned a law suit against the Florida board of education.  And that they expect removal of all content on critical race theory, black queer studies, intersectionality, and other topics that violate their laws.  But then turn around and mandate that Schools are to teach that Slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.  Christopher Columbus discovered North America, he didn't.  But for whatever reason he is a pivotal point in American history in reference to discovery of America? Senior Columbus initiated the trans-Atlantic slave trade in early February 1494.  He sent thousands of Taino Indians to Spain And for those who were left, well they were given to whoever wanted them.  Mind you to do whatever they pleased.  This was quoted from Christopher Columbus journals, That the people were so full of love and without greed. these journals, the men would rape the indigenous women to break their will and spirit.  But this is not something that was taught in elementary textbooks and probably shouldn't.   There is a special kind of delusion here in the United States.  This delusion is the denial of the holocaust, some feel that it just didn't happen.  Son I've been to a concentration camp in Germany, No bullshit birds won't even fly over that bitch.  Kim Daniels theatrically is a black woman but we will call her do do brown.  Had the audacity to say out her mouth, and I quote, I thank god for slavery.  Then she Goes to say I thank god for the crack house, if it wasn't for the crack house god wouldn't be able to use me like he can use me now, I thank god for slavery because if it wasn't for slavery I'd probably be somewhere in Africa worshipping a tree.  vivek Ramaswamy is a republican presidential candidate. This guy is talking about raising the voting age to 25.  Trust me when I say I am about to tear this mother fucker apart.  But for now I will digress, Then he said that the young would need to pass a civics test in order to vote.  Which is an inalienable right as an American once you turned 18.  to gain the right to vote without taking a civics test, you have to perform a civic duty by serving in the military, fire department or the local Police department for 6 months.   In a podcast he ask are you going to make a contribution this country?  Do you actually know something about this country?  First of all do you know how many dumb Maga mother fuckers are out there?  Those are trumps people, he likes them dumb, because the dumb are easily swayed.  Secondly let me ask you this question, what have you done for this country.  A common slogan of proponents of lowering the voting age was "old enough to fight, old enough to vote". Determined to get around inaction on the issue, congressional allies included a provision for the 18-year-old vote in a 1970 bill that extended the Voting Rights Act.  the Hindustan times” The recent attacks against African students in India have touched off a national debate about a highly sensitive subject. The nation has received a considerable amount of negative media coverage criticizing it as a racially intolerant country. This accusation is supported by the most recent round of reports published by the World Values Survey, an internationally reputable polling organization, which found in 2013 that 43.5% of Indians would not want a neighbor of a different race, putting India second worldwide only to Jordan by that measure of racial intolerance. From immorality to fornication to child sacrifice, aka abortion, politically this is where I country lies.  We are in the hands of evil men Red or Blue it doesn't matter.  Satan's has his 5 generals in our Government and if that's the case only darkness lies ahead for U.S. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/according-2-b-matthews/support

Episode 97. Do you struggle with the concept of intuitive eating? Do you in theory think it sounds amazing, but have a hard time making it a reality in your or your client's life? Are you a professional (therapist or dietitian) who loves intuitive eating but notices that some clients really have a hard time "getting it"? If so, this conversation is for you! This is truly one of my favorite interviews I have done in a long time, because Dr. Kim Daniels really helps break down why intuitive eating may not be working for you or your clients, and what to do about it. We talk about her training and experience with Internal Family Systems theory and using it to help people heal from binge eating disorder, disordered eating and/or chronic dieting. What to Expect in this Interview In this interview, we cover: 5:05-19:15: Dr. Daniel's experiences with Internal Family Systems and Intuitive Eating and how she got into doing this work 26:32: Why she thinks Internal Family Systems helps people get to the true root of the issue, and why Intuitive Eating may not always be necessary 31:35: Why we do things that seemingly don't make sense, but they actually do once we understand them (e.g., How a part of you might keep eating to rebel against a parent who died years ago) 32:37: Why intuitive eating doesn't work for everyone (Hint: It all depends on how parts of you use it, and if you have a manager part that uses it versus truly connecting with self, it will be really confusing and hard to build self-trust and likely lead to frustration) 35:45: Is emotional eating a real thing or not? 36:15: Is binge eating only in response to restriction? 44:45: How to work with parts of you that still want to lose weight 50:40: Fun Bonus: How Dr. Daniels and I use adult creative activities to pursue authenticity! 1:01:20: Another Fun Bonus: What having a black belt in karate taught Kim about women and self-defense.

Kim Daniels, CEO of Mercantile Logistics & International Trade, has years of experience translating the complex regulations, classification requirements, and intricacies of the best way to move your products around the world.    If you took marketing in college, you learned about the 4 P's of marketing – product, price, promotion, and place.  This episode of the Global Marketing Show covers Place – how to get your product from place A to place B.  We asked Kim to explain, why would consumer product companies bother exporting bins of products rather than just selling through ecommerce.  She gave a great example of a swim wear company that she worked with – by sending their products to the Caribbean and Mexico, they increased their sales by 30%. It made sense because when people travel, they may forget their bathing suits, they spend more time shopping, and are willing to spend money.    For the companies that she works with, she suggests that they look for the following criteria in a market.  Look for free trade zones to avoid heavy taxes and duties.  Find markets where clients want your goods (Mexico was a better choice than Canada for bathing suits!)  Avoid markets where the products are in an industry that the country wants to protect.  Start small, figure out the process, and then grow.  Look for a market close to you to minimize shipping costs.   Expand!  One key component is to get the classification of your products right to avoid hold ups at the border, fines, or getting a bad reputation and having problems forever more.  There are thousands of classifications – for example, if you manufacture footwear, there are type classifications such as boots, sneakers, flip flops, AND there are further sub-classifications for the materials the products contain. It's worth talking to an experienced customs broker to get the classification code accurate.  Once you know the code, you can have the customs broker do the paperwork, or you can spend the hour on the government site filling out the paperwork.  Kim says she's willing to spend an hour on the phone consulting for free to help companies with their exporting journey.  One warning – if you sell any good that are controlled, you need an additional ECCN# and if you have products that could be used for military or parts of military products, you are regulated by ITAR (International Traffic Arms Regulations). Violating any export regulations could lead to HUGE fines. To protect the safety of the US, these regulations are strict and people who violate them are considered guilty unless proven innocent.  Step #1 is to make sure your products are not under ITAR regulations.  One opportunity – Craft beers are highly regarded in the UK.  If you create craft beers in the US and want to increase your sales, reach out to Kim fast!  She can help you make connections to send vats of your beer to the UK, where they can bottle and sell it.  As for “Made in America” versus “international trade”?  Kim is a fan of trade.  She cites research that shows that the more a company trades, the better their economy.  (In an upcoming episode, we'll talk about the “container graveyard” that contains all the empty containers that brought goods into the US.  US companies that fill those containers and send goods out, perform better than those that just sell in the US. Since the graveyard is so big, we need to start exporting more.)  Kim's final recommendations –   Trade works best when it's a holistic process. For example, the US exports textiles to be made into shirts that we import back in.  This benefits both countries.  Foreign trade zones can be used to your advantage – Mercedes, Honda, and Toyota import parts to build the cars in foreign trade zones.  By manufacturing the final products here, they lower their import taxes while creating jobs here.  Do a feasibility study to find the best place to export your goods.  Her favorite foreign word?  Schadenfreude – as she says it's got a frenemy feel to it.  This German word has no English equivalent, it translates into that feeling of pleasure derived from another person's misfortune.      Links:  https://www.mlitinc.com/  Connect with Wendy - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendypease/  Connect with Kim - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-daniels-a5b9268/   Music: Fiddle-De-Dee by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

She's also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and is the host of the Emotional Eating and Everything Else Podcast. Dr. Daniels combines Internal Family Systems and Intuitive Eating approaches to help her clients exit diet culture, make peace with food, and respect their bodies. Dr. Daniels tells us how her practice and personal views on health, weight, nutrition, and diet culture have changed over the years. She explains in detail what Internal Family Systems psychotherapy is, how she uses it to help women “curb” (not “cure”) emotional eating, and how IFS and intuitive eating work so well together.

Pope Francis clearly considers synodality to be crucial for the reform of the church. Since his election, he has convened two synods on the family, the synod on Youth and Young People, and the synod on the Pan-Amazon region. And now he has called for a synod on synodality. But what is a synod? And what is synodality? According to Kim Daniels, co-director of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University, and a member of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, synodality has to do with listening, coming together, and accompaniment. These are all ideas that have been central to Pope Francis' ministry and leadership. In today's episode of Field Hospital, Mike and Jeannie talk to Kim about what synodality means for the church, and how parishes are putting it into action. They also discuss the backlash against, and misunderstandings about, synods and synodality in the Church today.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Kim Daniels who happens to be a labour and delivery nurse. I asked Kim to speak about the most important messages she would like to voice as a nurse to moms planning a hospital birth.Her and her colleagues who also agreed on the topics included! Here is what Kim said about herself:I'm a nurse and mother of two boys 15 months and almost 5.  I've been a nurse for 16 years and 6 of those as LDR. I needed a change from cardiac nursing and was looking for other options when LDR was presented to me.  I initially turned up my nose as I really didn't enjoy that in nursing school but after a shadow shift I knew it was the next path for me. In those 6 years I've had two babies of my own both with very different pregnancies and labor's, but thanks to my amazing practitioners doctors/midwives/nurses I have two very different but positive birth experiences.  I have become passionate about providing positive birth experiences for my patients and their families, regardless of the type of labor and birth. I love that my job allows me to step into such an intimate and private part of someone's life and be a part of so many births. It's truly a privilege to witness new life with new hope and promise! Kim RNBScN: Kwantlen Polytechnic UniversityPerinatal Specialty: British Columbia Institute of TechnologyThanks for joining me!

Florida's Department of Health is reporting 100 fatalities and 15,431 new cases of COVID-19. That’s the second-highest number of cases in a single day since the pandemic began. Also, on today’s #Sunrise: — As schools reopen across the state, teachers and other school personnel who come into contact with children every day are wondering when they’ll be able to get their vaccinations. — However, the Governor says the only teachers who can get shots now are the ones who are 65 and older. He claims data is driving the decision, but it could also be retribution for the teachers’ union that sued over his forced reopening of schools back in August. — Speaking of retribution, a state appeals court hears the case of a legislative aide fired after reporting her boss … former Rep. Kim Daniels ... was making her run personal errands on the taxpayer’s dime. — Although Daniels was voted out of office last year, the Florida House is still defending her. They are asking to dismiss the suit because lawmakers have immunity. — Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is accusing Texas Republican Louie Gohmert of encouraging Americans to engage in violence in an attempt to overturn the election of Joe Biden. — And finally, a Florida Man celebrated the new year by driving an airboat through his neighborhood while setting off fireworks and mowing down garbage cans.

In this week's digest, Catherine and Francis reflect on their conversation with Dr. Kim Daniels, Dr. Kim Daniels, a licensed clinical psychologist and online coach with practices in Hartford, Connecticut. The co-hosts explore further about the differences between "overeating", emotional eating, and binge eating, and discuss how subjective binges differ from objective binges and ultimately how these experiences may impact the support received. Finally, in an effort to shift the typically negatively-oriented focus on emotional eating, Catherine and Francis share the joy they experience in emotional eating with family and friends -- an experience that is allowed to be enjoyed!

In Part 2, Kim talks about the morality of food (chocolate as sinful, lowfat versions as angelic) and our culture's celebration of restriction. She also discusses body image and the limits of the body positivity movement. The conversation concludes with thoughts about how people can identify and find treatment for binge eating.

On this episode, Catherine and Francis are joined by Dr. Kim Daniels, a licensed clinical psychologist and online coach with practices in Hartford, Connecticut. In both practices, Kim works with women who are struggling with emotional eating, "overeating", and binge eating. She has been working with such women for 20 years now, and continues to be passionate about helping women to change their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. Kim talks with EDNR about the nuanced language within the binge/overeating spectrum of disordered eating, the body positivity movement, and provides space to critically think about how emotional eating can be a healthy (and for some a necessary) part of our relationships with food. Enjoy!

ANC secretary-general, Gwede Mantashe, says the ruling party is heading for a possible split ahead of the national conference in December if factional tendencies are not quickly dealt with. He says it is important for provinces to unite at conferences, to avoid people being paid by individuals to swing votes. Mantashe addressed the ANC cadre forum at Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape.

Summary of today's show: Due to the successful vote of the conclave and the announcement of the election of Pope Francis, this pre-recorded show from Wednesday, March 13, did not air. Rather than let these great interviews with Scot of Kim Daniels of Catholic Voices USA, Greg Erlandson of Our Sunday Visitor, and James Stella of the Vatican Museums go to waste, we're bringing them to you now in this podcast form. Listen to the show: Watch the show via live video streaming or a recording later: Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Kim Daniels of Catholic Voices USA, Greg Erlandson of Our Sunday Visitor, and James Stella Links from today's show: Today's topics: LIVE from Rome: Catholic Voices USA, Our Sunday Visitor, and a Boston Catholic in the Vatican Museums 1st segment: As we taped this show, the cardinals were making their afternoon votes on Wednesday. Scot related what it was like in St. Peter's Square during the vigils of the smoke from the Sistine Chapel. Scot Landry welcomed Kim Daniels of Catholic Voices USA to the show and noted that she participated in the Town Hall forum of the Fortnight for Freedom last June. They also talked about Catholic Voices and what they're doing in Rome. Kim said she's been writing and doing interviews, talking to people from all over the world covering this event that's the biggest thing in the world right now. Scot said back home everybody's talking about the conclave. What should we as Catholics be communicating about our faith when people ask us about what's going on. Kim said it's an important moment for us to talk about our faith. We're excited they're talking about Americans as serious contenders for the papacy. Scot said it wasn't long ago most people would have said an American wouldn't be a pope in our lifetime. Now that's not true, mainly because so many Italians were praying for Cardinal Seán to be made pope and others including Cardinal Dolan among those seriously considered. Kim said when Pope Benedict resigned it didn't cross her mind that there could be an American pope until today. People see the need for a holy man as Pope and Cardinal Seán is an example of that. Scot said American cardinals have a reputation of being good administrators. So many have been known for massive construction of church infrastructure. But today, they're known as communicators and holy men as well as good organizers Kim said people in the US are involved in parishes more so than even in Europe. The American cardinals are known for being able to get things done, for finding efficiency, for working with the New Evangelization. Kim and Scot agreed that the media doesn't get things wrong due to having an axe to grind, but because they haven't been informed. She said the press conferences with the cardinals were great for the amount of evangelization they did. Kim said the most surprising part of her trip was how excited all the Romans are about it. As soon as word comes out that there is white smoke, the people come running from all over the city. Kim said seeing the black smoke coming from the Sistine Chapel chimney the first time was exciting. She said the whole crowd was happy and excited despite the bad weather. There is optimism from the crowd. Kim predicted the white smoke would come Thursday night because there wasn't a clear frontrunner this time. Scot thinks after the 15th vote, there would be 5 to 10 cardinals who had received double digit numbers of votes, showing that the Church has many possible leaders. Scot said Cardinals Dolan and Seán will come home following all the buzz and momentum. Kim said her own cardinal, Cardinal Wuerl of Washington, DC, is also much loved and they're also excited he's being talked about, but also that he's participating in the conclave. 2nd segment: Scot is now in St. Peter's Square, where the black smoke flew again, and welcomed Greg Erlandson, president of Our Sunday Visitor, to the show. They noted the smoke came earlier by about 20 minutes than expected. They had two votes by 11:45 rather than noon. They agreed that the second and third votes would be most telling. The first vote could have double digits in names, but by the second and third, the numbers would be whittled down. They discussed the cardinals' dinners at Casa Santa Martae where Greg had stayed on a visit to the Vatican. He said it's like a well-appointed retreat center. It's austere, but comfortable. Greg tweeted out a photo of the room. Greg predicted the conclave would last three days, until the 10th or 11th ballot, because the cardinals are focused. He said it's clear that there isn't a frontrunner. Greg talked about all that Our Sunday Visitor does as a diverse non-profit organization serving the Church. They just celebrated their hundredth anniversary. Scot asked Greg to talk about OSV's founder, Fr. John Noll, who later became Archbishop John Noll. He was a priest of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend who started a newspaper to help Catholics defend the Church against attack. They said secular media provides good spot coverage of big events with amazing images, but for depth, rely on Catholic media. Greg and Scot discussed how quickly new technology allows media organizations to provide resources in response to breaking events today. OSV can move quickly and get the second-day story after the daily newspapers get the breaking news. That's where they provide a service both online and in print. Scot said Greg is also president of the Catholic Press Association. He said all newspapers are seeing declining numbers of subscribers, because people are reading them more and more online. How do they get people to support the ministry of Catholic newspapers in an online world? Greg said they're still adapting to an online business model to replace advertising and other income streams. People want their information when they want, where they want it, how they want it. The challenge is how to the do it while maintaining the infrastructure and staff for both editions. One of his concerns is that some of these conflicts in society, the bishops need a voice even as they are losing their voice in these newspapers. People still need to get that newspaper delivered to them. However, we're able to do things we'd never been able to do before in terms of new and social media. Scot said it's his experience with the Pilot is that the most engaged Catholics in the Archdiocese are the ones reading the Pilot. They need to find a way to get people to support the Pilot to cover the salary and benefits of the people providing the stories that inspire and educate them. Greg said we have a culture of stewardship in the American Catholic Church and we need to import that into our consumption of Catholic media. Greg talked about some of the beautiful moments he experiences in Rome, like a group of young nuns praying together or another woman standing by herself praying the rosary or people who bring their nations' flags. He also heard about a mother who wrote a note for her son that said if there was white smoke her son should be excused from class. In Rome, they are inherently Catholic. It's in their blood and that comes out during these kinds of events. Scot noted that during Cardinal Seán's Mass at Santa Maria dell Vittoria all the Italian cameramen and reporters all participated in Mass and even went up for Communion. He said you don't see that in the US because American reporters consider themselves to be working, not participating. Greg had the same reaction at the Masses he saw. Rome is a city of contrasts. Sometimes there's an anti-Church thread in Rome because otherwise they would drown in it all, yet they still celebrate their faith and the feasts and the like. 3rd segment: This week's benefactor card raffle winner is Gladys Dyer She wins the booklet The Way of the Cross at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy and the audio CD The Seven Pillars of Catholic Spirituality by Matthew Kelly.

He's originally from North Andover and now works for the Vatican. He had left his full-time job at Genzyme in Cambridge started as a volunteer at Caritas Internationalis in 2011 and eventually became a paid consultant. James said he'd never felt his old job in pharmaceutical sales to be all that rewarding. As his faith grew, he wanted to do more that was in line with it. Now he has a new job in the Vatican, working in the Vatican Museums with the Patrons of the Arts office, which does fundraising in the US and Europe for the preservation and restoration of the arts in the Vatican Museums. Ticket sales only cover operating expenses. Right now he's working on a project for the Holy Stairs, brought back by St. Helen in the 400s. He's also working on a project restoring artwork in the Vatican Gardens. Scot asked where the Vatican Museums fits in the world's art museums. He said it's the frontrunner in terms of Christian art collections and may be the greatest art collection overall, when you consider works like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Scot was struck by the TV images of the procession of the cardinals into the Sistine Chapel because it was well lit and how rich and vibrant it is. And those are just two rooms. James said the most rewarding for him is seeing how it inspires visitors, bringing them closer to the faith. James said it's hard to pick a favorite, but Michelangelo's fresco in the Pauline chapel of St. Paul on the road to Damascus. St. Paul appears as an old man in that image. He said observing St. Paul's conversion reminds James of how all Christians need to be converted and to come closer to our faith, if not that dramatically. He feels he's come closer to the faith and had a conversion over the past 15-20 years. Scot asked what the past couple of weeks have been like. He said it's been incredible and an honor and a humbling experience. He'd never imagined he could be living in Rome at this time. He enjoys the people and culture and the food of Rome. Scot asked about Cardinal Seán, who the Italians love and call the cappuccino Cardinal. James said he was in Tuscany a few weeks ago and a man asked him about Cardinal Seán, which surprised him. He's surprised at how Italians have adopted him. James said he's been to Naples and the Abruzzo region, as well as Tuscany. He plans to visit Assisi and travel further afield, including Sicily and Sardinia. Scot asked James when he thinks the white smoke will come. He said he guessed it would be Friday morning. Scot asked about growing up at St. Michael's in Andover, which is the largest parish in the Archdiocese now. James said his family attended Mass every Sunday. At first for him it was a requirement, but over the years, especially with the opening of the new church, he became more involved with the parish as well as St. Leonard's in the North End, where he moved in 2006. Speaking of Rome, James said Catholics should try to come and see it firsthand once in their life as the center of the Church. You can see it on TV or read about it, but there's no way to replace being there in person. He said the best time to come in September. October is the start of the rainy season. People who are interested in getting involved can visit their website and find out about their local chapter, contact them and get involved with the events of the chapters. 5th segment: Scot reminded listeners that the show was recorded about 4pm Rome time and that the smoke was expected to go up about 5pm. As it turned out, the white smoke went up, our new Pope Francis was introduced and the airing of this episode of The Good Catholic Life was pre-empted by live programming on the Station of the Cross network. We hope you enjoyed this special episode.

Summary of today's show: The Church needs faithful lay Catholic voices to present the Catholic viewpoint in the media. Catholic Voices USA trains lay Catholics, who are not official spokesmen for the Church, to be media friendly, studio friendly, and ego-free interview subjects and guests on television and radio and in print for journalists covering the neuralgic issues that involve the Church. Whether you aim to stand up for your faith on your local news or at the neighborhood cookout, Catholic Voices USA will be coming to Braintree in March for a weekend of training and Scot Landry talks to Kim Daniels of Catholic Voices USA about the group an its approach. Listen to the show: Watch the show via live video streaming or a recording later: Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Kim Daniels Links from today's show: Today's topics: Catholic Voices USA 1st segment: Scot Landry welcomed everyone to the show. He asked listeners if they feel called to defend the Church in secular media, at the neighborhood cookout, or even around the dinner table. Catholic Voices USA provides training to Catholics in all walks of life to publicly give witness to the faith. Catholic Voices will be providing training in New England on March 8-10. Kim Daniels is a director of Catholic Voices joining us from Washington DC. She has previously joined us on The Good Catholic Life and was part of the Town Hall for Religious Freedom back in June on WQOM and CatholicTV. Kim said this is an important time for more laity to stand up for the Church. The group began in London ahead of Pope Benedict's visit to the UK. There had been great hostility to the visit in the media so a group of lay Catholics organized other laity with media training to make a difference in changing popular opinion through interviews on radio, TV, and print. They have taken that model to other countries and they have been in the US since May. Scot said he knows there was some presence in Mexico by CV last spring as well. Scot said CV trains people to be media friendly, studio friendly and ego-free. Kim said first they do not approach journalists as they enemy. Media friendly means to know what will happen in an interview and how to work in a studio. Ego free means that they are flexible and willing to adapt to to the journalists' needs of the moment. Kim said they see controversy as an opportunity to present the faith. The worse problem is indifference to the Church. Controversy is an opportunity to reframe issues and explain the truth and reality of millions of Catholics who live their faith every day. Scot said many people think the secular media is opposed to the Church more often than not, but it's usually not the journalist who anti-Church, but that they buy a very secular frame about the Church. It's our job to understand that secular frame and help change it. Kim said for example the existing secular frame regarding women in the Church and Catholic Voices re-frames the issue that the Church is concerned about women's equality as well. Another common frame in the area is the vigils in closed parishes and local reporters find it a compelling story to tell the story of the heroic little guy standing up to the Church closing their parish. Scot said he learned that the better way to re-frame is to find the stories of other individuals who bravely and strongly saw the need for what happened and moved to set roots down in a new parish and in a new community. Kim said it's good to put a human face on the story and in this case to tell the stories of people who have moved on. Scot said to effectively defend the Church you need good tools and techniques, especially with neuralgic issues, i.e. the ones most painful to talk about. Kim said some of the tools are basic debate skills, like thinking in triangles, having three basic issues you keep coming back to. But it's more important to talk about how you make people feel. Don't just try to win on the debating points, but capture people's feelings. 2nd segment: Scot noted that people trained by Catholic Voices don't speak for the Church, but for their faith. He said sometimes the reason the Church gets bad media coverage is that the Catholics willing to come on are often those with their own agenda they're trying to push. Kim said CV is a group of Catholics who know and love their faith and stand with the Holy Father and the bishops. She added that they are non-partisan. They're trying to put their faith in ground-level terms accessible to everyone. Media coverage of issues today often take place in the form of debates, often looking for a heated discussion. Scot said it's often not the best place for a bishop or priest or religious to be put in that position, but a layperson might be a very effective advocate in that sort of media forum. Kim said it's about witnessing, not winning. Turn the confrontation into something positive. Answer each point, but remain positive. Scot said he learned from CV that if you want to witness well, find the positive intention the person on the other side has. It can be a tough discipline to go through that process, but if you can relate to the good the other person thinks they're trying to do, you can begin a conversation that might lead them to understanding what the Church is saying. Kim said they just finished a training in New York City for people who've been involved in pro-life work. Abortion is a neuralgic issue. They found that when you look for the positive intentions you find that people are concerned with women in difficult situations and that women have as many choices as men do. Of course, we know that the unborn life is paramount. So when you talk about abortion, you always talk about the mother and baby and the support provide for the mom. That shifts the conversation to women and their needs and the real choices they face and the options they can get from the Church that they don't get from an abortion clinic. 3rd segment: This is the third time, CV will be offering training. They offered it in DC and NYC last year. Kim said they teach the Catholic Voiced approach and go through practice sessions for radio and television. It's also wonderful to come together with people who love their faith. They start on a Friday night with an opening prayer time and an opportunity to meet everyone. They start with an emphasis that this is about our faith. On Saturday, they talk about the CV approach and the art of the radio interview and TV interview and how to get your point across in three minutes. They include time for prayer and for fellowship. On Sunday, they give substance on the primary issues, moving people from general knowledge to specifics. Scot asked what newly trained Catholic Voices do to articulate the Church's teaching. Kim said last May the HHS mandate was very big in the news and it was a big focus of their training. It's a complicated issue so they equipped them to talk about it. After, CV trainees spoke at rallies around the country, wrote in newspapers and on blogs, and were interviewed on TV and radio. Scot said those who are trained in March will be available to talk about national issues or local issues. If the training occurred last year, the trainees could have been vital in the physician-assisted suicide debate. Kim said they become a resource for Catholic groups looking for people to talk about these issues. CV can also help people get connected with media organizations looking for Catholic voices. Scot said there are 16 open spots in March. He asked what characteristics they're looking for. Kim said they get many, many applications. They look for someone on fire for their faith who's looking for a little bit of help to make that last step. There's often a tendency that they have to look like a Fox News anchor, but she said it's about being authentic. The single most important factor for being an effective communicator was their authenticity. They do hope that people will have a certain level of understanding of their faith, but not to be subject matter experts. Scot said the participants don't have to have had any media experience before, and in fact some of the most persuasive in the practice interviews were people who had never done this. Scot said the application deadline is January 31, but they have rolling applications so it's helpful to get it in early. The applications are on their website, along with their blog in which they write about issues in the media every day. 4th segment: Scot said now they will go through one issue to illustrate the Catholic Voices approach. He asked her the most common secular frame to the Affordable Care Act/HHS mandate issue. She said the secular frame is that the government is trying to increase women's access to contraception, which is sen as good, by having employers pay for it and anyone opposed is against women. They say the Church is trying to impose its views on the American public. But the case is that the government is trying to impose its voices on the Church. The government is trying to violate Catholics' most deeply held religious beliefs. Scot said if this is a pro-woman law, and we counter this frame, then the Church is saying it's bigger than being pro-woman, but is about the issue of the Church being able to define what is religious activity and what it means to live our faith. We have to avoid getting pulled into the debate whether we're pro- or anti-woman. Kim said women are some of the most valuable voices for the Church. They also frame this as hurting the poor because they will be the ones hurt by the lost jobs and wages from business being forced to pay these increased costs. The positive intention of the other side is that they want to help women in need. That's why we respond that we want to help those in need because this mandate hurts the poor and those who serve them the most. We also point to how this mandate affects conscientious objection and religious belief. Scot said CV also emphasizes the need to limit yourself to the top three points of rebuttal. The first is hurting the poor. The second is that this isn't a political issue. The third is that the government is imposing its views on people of faith. Scot said the group most persuasive at shifting opinion have been laypeople like Kim who are easy to relate to. Catholic Voices has a set of principles they work by. Look for the positive intention behind the criticism. Shed light, not heat. People won't remember what you said as much as how you made them feel. Show, don't tell. Think in triangles. Be positive. Be compassionate. Check your facts, but avoid robotics. It's not about you. Witnessing, not winning. The second is to shed more light than heat. Don't come in like an invasion, but to provide a convincing and attractive alternative to the secular frame. The third is that people will longer remember how you feel than what you said. The fourth is to show, don't tell. For example, to give solid examples of how crisis pregnancy centers work with compassion compared to the cold abortion clinics. The sixth is being positive. We have to be talk about what the Church is for, not just what she is against. The seventh is being compassionate; by engaging people in a loving way even in a vociferous debate. Kim said you have to recognize when talking with people that what's most important is being a good listener. The ninth is that it's not about you. Kim said anytime we are out of our comfort zone, we need to remember that people are not focused on us, but on the message that we're bringing and so to be prepared. The final is witnessing, not winning. Kim said this is the one that is most important. We need to remember that it's about showing people what it is to be a faithful Catholic, remembering we're talking to another person.

Summary of today's show: Scot Landry and his guests discuss religious freedom, the HHS Mandate, and the conclusion of the Fortnight for Freedom. Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Kim Daniels, Dr. John Garvey, Dr. Angela Franks, and John Monohan Links from today's show: Today's topics:The US Conference of Catholic Bishops recognizes that our religious freedom as Americans is under threat - today, July 4th, marks the end of a Fortnight for Freedom, a time of prayer, education, and activism to assert our first most cherished liberty to our elected representatives. Our show today features four addresses on the topic of religious freedom and the "HHS Mandate," as well as a reading of the USCCB document "Our First Most Cherished Liberty." 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the program and wished all a happy 4th of July. He explained that we are now at the end of the Fortnight for Freedom. To cap it off, we'll hear addresses from Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Kim Daniels, Angela Franks, and John Garvey. Cardinal Sean opened by thanking all for listening and watching. He emphasized that today, Independence Day, we celebrate certain inalienable rights that God has given to us - one of which is our freedom of religion. The HHS Mandate the Church is fighting, Cardinal Sean continued, would violate our deepest convictions, restricting ministry and employment only to those of our own faith. Unless we work hard and speak frankly when our freedoms are threatened, Cardinal Sean said, we will lose this cherished freedom, as has happened in other parts of the world. Historically, the cardinal concluded, the USA has been a strong defender of religious freedom - we need to remember that this mandate is not a Catholic or Protestant issue, but an American issue that all citizens must speak out on. Kim Daniels echoed the Cardinal's words, reminding listeners that American Catholics are standing up for a basic American principle. She pointed out that attempts have been made to negotiate with the administration to avoid this fight, but all failed. Now, Kim said, 43 institutions, from Catholic Colleges to soup kitchens, schools to Archdioceses, are suing to keep the government from defining what a religious ministry is. The Catholic commitment to religious freedom, Kim continued, is not a partisan issue - anyone who has listened to a dinner-table argument between Catholics knows not everyone holds exactly the same views on politics. The USCCB has always maintained that affordable healthcare is a good for society, and bi-partisan consensus used to exist on it too! If anything, Kim said, it is the Obama administration who has politicized the universal health care issue by ignoring conscience protections for Catholics, both institutionally and individually. Dr. John Garvey made three points in his address. First, he said that the legal protection of religious liberty is waning - it has slowly degraded over the years, giving protection to priests but not teachers, or religious orders but not hospitals. Catholics and Catholic organizations exist to provide every citizen with services. Catholic Charities does adoptions, Dr. Garvey continued, because the Gospel tells us to care for the weak and vulnerable. Catholic schools and colleges exist to educate because the Gospel tells us to teach all nations. But even that basic mission is under attack - Dr. Garvey said that Catholic University itself would have to pay almost $2.6 million per year in penalties should it follow Church teaching and refuse to offer contraception, sterilization, and abortion services on health plans. Lastly, Dr. Garvey emphasized that the framers of the Constitution protected religious freedom because they thought it important for human flourishing and happiness. Dr. Angela Franks opened by listing what the mainstream media says the HHS mandate is about - a "Catholic war on women," contraception, the Church "imposing values" - none of this is true, Angela affirms. The issue cannot be contraception, Angela argues, because it is already ubiquitous and cheap; any woman who can afford a few lattes a month can buy birth control. The issue is not the Church forcing people to do anything, Dr. Franks continued, but rather about the government trying to force a policy of secularization on the Church. The biggest lie, Angela concluded, is that the Church is waging a war on women or is anti-woman. As a woman, she said, it offends her that Speaker Pelosi, SEcretary Sebelius, organizations like NOW or Planned Parenthood, or even the President should think they speak for all women. Angela mentioned a petition initiative about this point, located at . 2nd Segment Scot welcomed everyone back and explained that the second half of the show would be a reading of the USCCB document "Our First Most Cherished Liberty." You can access the full text at . For Scot Landry, our Producer Rick Heil, and our team of Dom Bettinelli, Karla Goncalves, and George Martell, happy Independence Day!

Summary of today's show: The HHS mandate of the Affordable Care Act is an unprecedented infringement on religious liberty, according to a wide cross-section of religious leaders and political observers. Scot Landry talks to Kim Daniels, an attorney who specializes in religious liberty issues and coordinator for Catholic Voices USA, about the HHS mandate and other attempts to infringe on religious liberty during this Fortnight for Freedom called by the US bishops. Daniels will be one of the panelists on the Fortnight for Freedom town hall airing on CatholicTV and WQOM tonight at 8pm. Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Kim Daniels, Coordinator for Catholic Voices USA Links from today's show: Today's topics: Religious Liberty and the HHS Mandate 1st segment: Scot said tonight Cardinal Sean will be hosting on the live town hall meeting at CatholicTV at 8pm on the topic of religious liberty. On of the presenters joining is Kim Daniels, an attorney working on religious liberty issues and is a coordinator for Catholic Voices USA and lives in Maryland. Scot said he met Kim when he attended a meeting in Washington, DC, of Catholic Voices USA. Kim said the group is lay Catholics who stand up and talk about our faith and why we love it, making the Church's presence felt in the public square. They don't speak on behalf of the bishops, but do speak authoritatively because they know their faith well. It's an outgrowth of a similar successful group in England last year that began before the Pope's visit. Scot said Catholic Voices is launched while we're fighting to defend our religious freedom. Kim said they saw a need for lay Catholics to be out there on this issue.They want as many lay Catholics talking about it as possible because it's important we tell everyone how it's under siege today. Scot asked Kim to provide background on the HHS mandate. She said it's part of the Affordable Care Act. Last August, the Dept. of health and Human Services put out a regulation that all employers provide insurance for contraceptive services under the ACA or face a fine. The only exemption was for a narrow definition of churches. Church-related organizations were not exempted. In January this year the president affirmed that this was going to be the rule and then later proposed an “accommodation” which was only an accounting trick. For the first time, religious believers would be forced to provide a good or service that violates their faith. Kim said the problems with the “accommodation” includes the idea that insurers would be forced to provide the coverage rather than the employers, but of course the costs would be passed along to employers. The employers would still be forced to participate. Also, many church organizations are self-insurers. Kim said religious liberty is our first freedom. One of the central reasons people came to this country was to escape religious persecution and that's what the first amendment was about. For Catholics especially, it's important, because it it's the glue that holds civil society together. Catholics found civil society institutions that stand between individual and government and provide the glue for society. Scot asked what makes the HHS mandate so bad. Kim said the mandate has an extremely narrow definition of what counts as a religion. You're a religious organization if you primarily employ people of your faith and promotes your faith. If reduces religion to freedom of worship within the four walls of the house of worship, not freedom of religion. Mother Teresa would not qualify for the exemption. Scot said we don't serve other because they're Catholic. We serve others because we're Catholic. That's what defines us as Catholic. Free exercise isn't freedom of worship, but freedom of religion, which is prayer, belief, and action, and more. Kim said look at the list of the Catholic organizations that have signed on to lawsuits against the HHS mandate: publishers, colleges, nursing homes. For every corporal work of mercy, you can find an organization that has signed on. Scot said some people believe Catholics have been targeted specifically. Cardinal George of Chicago said this is an unprecedented requirement that we be forced to act contrary to what we believe. This has never happened in the US. Kim said we know there's been plenty of religious bigotry in history. It's important to remember here that what's going on is that people are being forced to pay for something that violates their deeply held religious beliefs. Once this precedent is set, you can violate beliefs in other places as well. A good example is conscientious objection to serving in war. That could be threatened. Scot said when there are laws passed, there's usually a robust set of exemptions for different groups. Scot said the Affordable Care Act has many exemptions, but the exemption for Catholics was so narrow it violates our religious liberty. Scot asked Kim how exemptions work in laws like these? Kim said we have a longstanding bipartisan census in favor of religious liberty and exemptions for religious conscience. President Clinton signed int o law the religious freedom restoration act. Ted Kennedy had written to Pope Benedict that he was in favor of strong exemptions for Catholics. But what happened here is the Obama administration has set all that aside. Scot said the troubling part of this is that the Secretary of HHS came out with a list of preventative care that's covered under the law that included contraception and abortifacients, when real preventative care wasn't included. Kim said wouldn't it be great to have free health club memberships or blood pressure medicine or the like? But instead contraception, sterilization and abortifacients are. That shows they are presenting pregnancy as a disease to be prevented. Kim noted that the Amish got an exemption from the Affordable Care Act as did millions of people who were grandfathered. 2nd segment: Scot said on this issue, Catholics of all stripes were all united that this was a massive violation of religious freedom. Kim said when the mandate first came down, she heard people talking about in her parish in a way that you don't see normally. They saw it as an attack on them and it's created a solidarity. The lawsuits show a wide array of groups participating from small to large and across the viewpoint spectrum. An important development last week saw the Catholic Health Association, which had supported the Affordable Care Act, came out against the HSS mandate and the supposed accommodation. Kim said the institutions that will not provide the objectionable goods and services will be subject to fines of $100 per day per employee. For large organizations and small ones that is significant. It will lead some to shut their doors. Others will reduce their services. It will have a big impact on our network of schools and social service providers. Scot has asked if there's a precedent for fines that are so crippling? Kim said this is what's unprecedented: That the government is forcing us to make that choice between our religious beliefs and paying these crippling fines. Because we are an institutional church, we work through groups we form, not just through individuals, it affects us uniquely. It's not just a Catholic issue, but it particularly affects us. Scot said there are about 200 Catholic universities in the US, about 7,000 secondary and elementary schools, 1,400 long-term healthcare centers, and hundreds of hospitals. The most important thing for the common good is not the the number of institutions, but the people who are served here. Kim said the key issue to remember is that at the end of the day this will harm the poor, kids in schools, those served by Catholic services. Kim said when the government says to some that they are not meeting the narrow exemption, it involves the government coming in and defining whether they are religious. The government becomes entangled in the practice of our religious faith. Scot said this violates the separation of church and state. Kim said it goes to the Establishment clause. It's setting up a regulation that determines what it means to be religious. Scot asked Kim to respond to the claim that the Church is trying to impose its views on others, including employees who don't agree. Kim said the Church only seeks to retain the constitutional right to propose it's views as a full participant in public life. It's the government is coming in to tell the Church what it should believe about contraception and abortion.Kim said contraception is cheap and widely available and the government could take many steps to provide it easily without forcing religious believers to violate their beliefs. People coming to work for the Church know or can easily know what the Church believes coming in the door. Kim said when the Catholic Health Association came out against the mandate, they made this argument. Scot said he's also heard that the Catholic Church is trying to hurt Obama's re-election campaign. Kim said the plaintiffs in the lawsuits have all different political views. If anyone is trying to politicize this issue, it's the Obama administration. Scot said that's another slogan he's heard, that this is a War on Women. Kim said it's clear that it's a manufactured war. It's patronizing for the administration to claim that religious freedom isn't as important to women. 30,000 women have signed up for an inititiative to say this. Kim and her neighbor Helen Alvare, who is a prominent pro-life Catholic, started this initiative on the grassroots level, sending it out to their friends without a big budget or infrastructure. She's heard of women taking up the initiative on their own to stand up for their religious liberty. Scot read the open letter from the website called “Don't Claim to Speak for All Women”: We are women who support the competing voice offered by Catholic institutions on matters of sex, marriage and family life. Most of us are Catholic, but some are not. We are Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Many, at some point in our careers, have worked for a Catholic institution. We are proud to have been part of the religious mission of that school, or hospital, or social service organization. We are proud to have been associated not only with the work Catholic institutions perform in the community – particularly for the most vulnerable — but also with the shared sense of purpose found among colleagues who chose their job because, in a religious institution, a job is always also a vocation. Those currently invoking “women's health” in an attempt to shout down anyone who disagrees with forcing religious institutions or individuals to violate deeply held beliefs are more than a little mistaken, and more than a little dishonest. Even setting aside their simplistic equation of “costless” birth control with “equality,” note that they have never responded to the large body of scholarly research indicating that many forms of contraception have serious side effects, or that some forms act at some times to destroy embryos, or that government contraceptive programs inevitably change the sex, dating and marriage markets in ways that lead to more empty sex, more non-marital births and more abortions. It is women who suffer disproportionately when these things happen. No one speaks for all women on these issues. Those who purport to do so are simply attempting to deflect attention from the serious religious liberty issues currently at stake. Each of us, Catholic or not, is proud to stand with the Catholic Church and its rich, life-affirming teachings on sex, marriage and family life. We call on President Obama and our Representatives in Congress to allow religious institutions and individuals to continue to witness to their faiths in all their fullness. Scot said it's a beautiful letter. He's said the issue can turn in this country if women stand up and say that NARAL and NOW don't speak for them. Women aren't one-issue voters who only care about abortion and contraception. Kim said it's patronizing for the Obama administration to call this a women's issue because it involves contraception, abortion, and sterilization. Scot said 43 Catholic institutions filed a lawsuit on one day in late May, adding to 11 previous lawsuits. Kim said it was an unprecedented coordination of lawsuits among Catholic groups. As a civil rights matter it's striking to see organizations come together to file suit across the country to show that it matters to all of us. It's also important it was filed then because the Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act is imminent. Plus the clock is ticking: Catholic organizations need to purchase insurance. Scot said some in Boston thought the Archdiocese of Boston should have filed a lawsuit too. There are 195 dioceses and parches in the US. He asked what about groups that didn't file a lawsuit? Kim said the suits are directed against just the mandate. There are lots of reasons while you would have some plaintiffs sign on and others not sign on and why you would file in the some places and not in others. It's mainly a tactical question. Scot asked how long it will take to see this resolved. Kim said it depends on what happens in the next few weeks and months on these issues. You could see them happening in the next year. Scot asked how the 43 lawsuits might be affected by the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act itself. If the Court rules the law constitutional or only part of it is unconstitutional, the lawsuits will move forward. If the court rules against the whole Act, then it's an immediate win for the plaintiffs and we return to the status quo of strong religious freedom protections. Scot asked what the likelihood for that is. Kim said her sense is the Court will strike down part of the Act and these cases will move forward in court and they will win. Scot asked Kim what she hopes to come from the Fortnight for Freedom. She wants her own kids to see Catholic standing together on an important issue. It's also a wakeup call about what's going on with religious liberty. Even if it seems like it's removed in Washington, the Fortnight can bring this home to parishes. Scot said he's been thinking about those who gave their lives in our history for the sake of religious freedom. What message would Kim have to the listeners on why we should educate ourselves and do something about this now? Kim said religious liberty isn't always attacked in a grand way, like bombing of churches and Christians being murdered. What we have here is the slow whittling away of our religious liberty. But this will really affect all os u. It will set the precedent in the law that religion is what happens within the four walls of a house of worship.

Summary of today's show: There are several living legends among the priests of the Archdiocese of Boston and Scot Landry and Fr. Mark O'Connell welcome one of them today. Fr. Walter Waldron has been a priest for 48 years and pastor of St. Patrick Parish in Roxbury for 29 years. Fr. Walter tells our listeners about seeing the Second Vatican Council firsthand, putting the lessons of the Council into practice in the inner-city in the 1970s, and then serving a parish that's like three parishes in one for nearly three decades in a neighborhood many have written off. Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Mark O'Connell Today's guest(s): Fr. Walter Waldron, Pastor of St. Patrick Parish, Roxbury Today's topics: Pastor Profile: Fr. Walter Waldron 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the show and started with the startling news that Fr. Mark was taken by ambulance to the hospital from his rectory yesterday. He fell down a few steps and was taken to the hospital as a precaution.Fr. Mark said the neck brace they put on had four settings: tall, medium, short, and no neck. He was highly insulted that they had it on no neck. Last night, Fr. Mark was able to go to a special Mass at Regina Cleri, where Fr. Bob Oliver is also recovering from an accident and a broken hip. Scot said it's been a busy week preparing for the live, interactive town hall meeting on CatholicTV Monday night with Cardinal Seán. He said it's never been done before over all the different media: TV, radio, and the Internet. He encourages everyone to tune in via WQOM or CatholicTV. On Monday's The Good Catholic Life we will have one of the panelists, Kim Daniels, to talk about how we got to this point. The town hall meeting begins at 8pm. Scot said today's guest is one of the legends of the priesthood in Boston and he's been looking forward to this conversation. 2nd segment: Scot and Fr. Mark welcomed Fr. Walter Waldron. Fr. Walter said he grew up in Milton and went to school there. He had two brothers and two sisters. One of the gifts in his life has been his family and extended family. He realizes how much all those cousins mean to him and made him what he is today. His vocation came from his family and the community was very Catholic. He went to St. Agatha School. He wanted to be a lawyer, teacher or priest. He went to BC High and considered being a Jesuit. When Fr. Walter's father was at BC High in the 1920s and he considered becoming a Jesuit. His grandfather had a work accident that prevented him from working and so his father was counseled he should stay to support his family. So it comes full circle to him. Fr. Walter said Fr. Riley, who was a younger priest in charge of the altar servers at St. Agatha's, was an influence on his vocation too. He said there were no priests in his family. Fr. Walter said he ended up deciding he would end up encountering more people in the diocesan priesthood than if he joined the Jesuits, who at the time specialized in education. He went to Cardinal O'Connell Seminary for two years out of high school. He went to St. John's Seminary for two years and then went to the North American College and was ordained in St. Peter's. He was there in the early Sixties and was there during the death of Pope John XXIII and election of Pope Paul VI. Scot asked what it was like being in Rome during the Second Vatican Council? Fr. Walter said it was very exciting, partly because some of the US bishops stayed in the North American College and had interaction with the seminarians. Some seminarians were even able to sneak into the sessions in St. Peter's. He and his classmates were on the side of those who were most forward-looking. During his time in Rome, he wasn't able to come back from Rome, but his family did come visit once before ordination. He took a ship over with the other seminarians. He recalled how the seminarians were all seasick at first, but he loved it so much that he came back by boat rather than fly. Scot asked Fr. Walter is he learned the old and the new liturgies. He said he was trained in the older missal. There was no transition while he was there. Fr. Walter was ordained in 1964 and has had only three assignments in those 48 years. He was first assigned to St. Margaret in Beverly Farms. He remembers saying to the people that first Sunday, “I'm so glad to be here in Beverly Hills.” He was there for two years. Then he was a parochial vicar at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross for 18 years. He had asked Cardinal Cushing to be assigned to work in the city and to live in an apartment among the people. Cardinal Cushing said no, but offered him a position at the cathedral. He made many friendships and is still involved with some of the groups from them. He loved living in the city and came to learn the movement of the city. He has remained in the city, going to St. Patrick's parish in Roxbury in 1984. Fr. Walter wanted to live in the city because of the priests he knew in Roxbury at the time. He liked the life they lived and how they had freedom to interact with people. He talked about how he was mentored and affirmed by Msgr. Russ Collins. Fr. Mark said the monsignor was a real innovator in our archdiocese. He helped form a group called the Boston Urban Association of Priests. They were very vocal about public policy and even endorsed a candidate. They thought they were reading the signs of the times. Scot said it was a tumultuous time in Boston with the busing crisis. Fr. Walter said it gave him an identity with the people that were there. He came to understand their difficulties and pain and how far they felt from the mainstream of Boston. It was an eye-opener for him. Scot noted that the Boston Urban Priests helped the Pine Street Inn form itself. Fr. Walter said there was a place called the Dawes Hotel that was pulling out of the business of serving the poor, and no one wanted to take over the ministry. They took over the place and re-named it the Pine Street Inn. They didn't know they were supposed to ask the cardinal first. They had some advisors on how to help people who were addicted to alcohol. They had only one employee and each priest would take a night to be there. Scot perceives that time as a time for the Church asking herself what she was to be in this town and in this world. What do the condiments of Vatican II mean in practical matters? There was a lot of adjustment. Fr. Walter said there wasn't a model to follow. Fr. Walter at the time took on a foster kid and moved out of the rectory into an apartment. He was then called in by Cardinal Medeiros. He told Fr. Walter that he knows what he did and only wanted to know that he was taking good care of him. He had the foster kid for four years. Scot asked what it was like to move to St. Patrick's in 1984. He didn't want to move out of the cathedral after being there so long. In fact, he'd just been asked to be the chaplain at Walpole State Prison and he said no because it would be the same population day after day. So when St. Patrick came up, he took it. He's attracted to variety in his priestly ministry. Scot said you couldn't get more variety in St. Patrick's. Fr. Walter said they just celebrated their 175th anniversary. They had three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese Creole. He feels like he's already in charge of three parishes. In 1989, the Boston Globe did a big three-page article on him in the newspaper. It showed how he had a presence on the streets, a consistent presence over a period of time. After a while he wasn't a stranger there and people came to know he was interested in all communities. He showed how they could come together as one parish with three communities. Fr. Walter said for a long time they had three parish councils. He didn't think it made sense o he established a supercouncil. After a while they formed one parish pastoral councils for the last 5 to 10 years. It's helped him to learn better the other language groups, to know them on a personal and a professional Catholic level. Scot said half of the parish are newcomers to the country. 85% of all parishioners are from Cape Verde. He said much of the ministry must be helping people adjust. Fr. Walter said the question has been whether to focus on people's background and culture or do you try to acculturate them? They've found a balance. They've been able to do a lot of outreach in the native languages, mainly through a lot of sisters who spoke the language. There's a commonality between the pastoral staff and the people who came here. Cape Verde is traditionally Catholic and so there's no difficulty in attracting them to the Church. Like in the past, so much of their lives focus on the Church. Fr. Mark asked if the Church is sanctuary. Fr. Walter said “sanctuary” is a loaded word, but Fr. Mark said he didn't intend it that way. Fr. Walter said they've always had good relationships with civil authorities. He's never been faced with a person asking for sanctuary from immigration issues. Scot said growing up, Roxbury was never portrayed in a positive light in the news. He asked Fr. Walter to describe it. He said it is home for people. He tells priests that they have to come in recognizing that they are people just like you. People are sometimes afraid to come to Roxbury, but he encourages them to come. He said the safest part of the city on a Sunday morning is Roxbury because everybody's in church. It's hard to drive the image of the shootings in the street from people's minds. But it's not an everyday occurrence. There are people who are interested in raising their kids, keeping their homes neat, and living their lives. Fr. Mark said he regularly says Mass with the Carmelite Sisters in Dudley Square. Fr. Walter calls them the spiritual powerhouse. He'd never before met cloistered sisters, but he found them to be just like the rest of us. He said a number of religious orders work with St. Patrick's so they make a big deal in February for World Consecrated Life Day. Now they have the Franciscans of the Primitive Observance in the parish. Fr. Walter said their desire is to live a life as close as possible to St. Francis' life 800 years ago. They wear a rough habit, they sleep on the floor, they eat only what they've begged that day. They are very good at reaching out to others. They've only been there two year,s but everyone knows them. Fr. Walter said they are living in one of their buildings, but have a broader vision than the parish. Several of them have learned Creole in order to say Mass and do confessions in the language of the people. When they first came they came over the parish to offer to help. They've established a monthly holy hour for vocations to the priesthood. One of the brothers of the FPO is being ordained to the priesthood tomorrow. Br. Michael Sheehan will be ordained by Cardinal Seán at the Cathedral. After the Mass, they will have a reception at St. Patrick's. He will continue doing the work of the order in the community. Fr. Walter said they are like worker-priests whose work is for the advancement of the Church, being out where the people are and making sure there's a normal interaction with them. They are concerned the people are not only Catholic in name, but in practice too.They want the folks to see the Church as an essential part of their lives. Scot asked what is one of his biggest joys as a priest. Fr. Walter said being a priest and being fortunate to be in a life he just loves. He loves it as much today as he did the day he was ordained in St. Peter's. He said he's heard stories of priests burdened by the stress of their priesthood. He doesn't recall a moment he felt that way. He said it's the joy of being with the people and being astounded at how they take him into their homes and family. He remembers a couple of years ago after some surgery and seeing how concerned the people were for him. 3rd segment: Now as we do every week at this time, we will consider the Mass readings for this Sunday, specifically the Gospel reading. When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply, “No. He will be called John.” But they answered her, “There is no one among your relatives who has this name.” So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,” and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea. All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, “What, then, will this child be?” For surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel. Scot said we tend to think of John the Baptist as preparing for way of the Lord during Advent, but we should think of him at all times because he's always pointing us to Jesus. Fr. Walter said he was an evangelizer and it's believed to have belonged to a spiritual sect of Judaism that was looking to reinvigorate the faith for the coming of the Messiah. Fr. Walter said it is traditional in Judaism for a boy to be named after the father or an ancestor. But we don't know why Zecharaiah wanted to name him John. It shows the importance of names in Scripture. Jesus renamed Peter, Saul was renamed Paul. Fr. Walter said this is true today. It's common for recovering addicts to give up the name they used while they active, they went back to their real name or a nickname they had as a kid. Scot said Popes take on a new name. Cardinal Seán grew up as Patrick O'Malley, but took on the name Seán when he became a religious. Fr. Mark said he was struck that John is about humility and his birth, which references much of the Old Testament, has lots of triumphant images. In the Gospel, John says that he must decrease while Christ increases. He was humble and our Lord was heralded through humility. Scot related that Zechariah couldn't speak because he doubted the news from the angel Gabriel that he and his wife would have a son in their old age. Scot said the entirety of John's life pointed to Christ.

Summary of today's show: On our Thursday show, Scot Landry, Susan Abbott, Fr. Roger Landry, and Gregory Tracy considered the news headlines of the week, including the start of the Fortnight for Freedom; the end of Fr. Roger Landry's tenure as editor of The Anchor; the deadline looming for Choose Life license plates; and the Vatican gaining control of the .catholic internet domain. Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Susan Abbott Today's guest(s): Fr. Roger Landry, executive editor of The Anchor, the newspaper of the Fall River diocese; and Gregory Tracy, managing editor of The Pilot, the newspaper of the Boston archdiocese Links from today's show: Some of the stories discussed on this show will be available on The Pilot's and The Anchor's websites on Friday morning. Please check those sites for the latest links. Today's topics: Fortnight for Freedom; Changes at The Anchor; Choose Life license plates; Dot-Catholic 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the show. Susan and Scot talked about how work in the religious education office doesn't slow down in summer because religious educators in parishes now have more time for planning and preparations for the next year. Susan and her office also met with the Anti-Defamation League, who they work with regularly on joint educational programs. Scot said today begins the two-week Fortnight for Freedom, in which the bishops have asked everyone to pray more, study more, and act more to defend religious liberty. 2nd segment: Scot and Susan welcomed Greg and Fr. Roger to show. The first topic is the Fortnight for Freedom and Scot played the audio of a new video from Cardinal Seán for the Fortnight for Freedom, in which he asked everyone to tune in to the live, interactive town hall meeting he will lead on Monday, June 25 on CatholicTV. Scot said the Cardinal's message is basically that we should not take for granted our religious liberty and we need to preserve it for future generations. Fr. Roger's editorial this week is on the same topic and it takes readers through the main prayer for the Fortnight produced by the US Bishops conference. O God our Creator, Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society. We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith. Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome— for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us— this great land will always be “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. The prayer begins by turning the first words of the Declaration of Independence into words of praise and thanksgiving, “O God our Creator, from Your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Then it describes how those rights correspond to religious duties that society must respect: “You have called us as Your people and given us the right and the duty to worship You, the only true God, and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Through the power and working of Your Holy Spirit, You call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society.” Next, it turns to prayers of petition that we might act in accordance with our God-given rights and gifts and that God will fortify us during this Fortnight to protect and promote true freedom. “We ask You to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart readily to defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of Your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.” Then it prays for the gift of unity in the Church. Some joke that the only time the Church stands together is at the Alleluia before the Gospel. It's now a time in which the Church needs the gift of true communion to overcome division in order to give a united witness to liberty, and turn back the threats of liberty not merely for ourselves but for all those who will come after us. “Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all Your sons and daughters gathered in Your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome - for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us - this great land will always be ‘one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'” Fr. Roger said they've been praying this prayer in his own parish already and encourages every listener to download the prayer and to pray it at home and at church. Scot said on Monday, Cardinal Seán and four religious liberty experts will give brief presentations stake questions from the studio audience and those who are listening. Susan said the ingredients of good catechesis are here: prayer, study, and action. She said the town hall meeting will allow people to send in questions via Twitter and Facebook. She thinks it's the first time this has ever happened before. She did point out that it will also be available in re-broadcasts. Scot asked Greg for his opinion of the town hall meeting as a veteran journalist. He said it is covering all forms of media: TV, radio, new media, print. Scot said the Diocese of Anchorage, Alaska, has organized a town hall meeting to bring people together to watch this town hall meeting on CatholicTV. Several parishes are also organizing gatherings to watch it as well. He said the other panelists include Dr. John Garvey, president of the Catholic University of America; Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus; Kim Daniels of CatholicVoices USA, and Dr. Angela Franks of the Theological Institute of the New Evangelization. Scot also mentioned that there is a great column by Dwight Duncan in both the Anchor and the Pilot this week called “Religious Freedom: Use It or Lose It.” If we won't fight to preserve our liberties, we shouldn't be surprised if they are eroded. What does Ihis mean? It doesn't mean that in this country you have just the right to believe whatever you want to believe. Even in North Korea they have that right, because as a practical matter no one can force you to believe or not believe something. ‘The free exercise of religion means the ability to act on those beliefs. To practice your religion in private or in public. To proclaim your religion to others, if you wish. To spend your money in furtherance of your own religion, and not in furtherance of anyone else's. To promote what you think is moral, and to not promote anything you think is immoral. These are all necessary consequences of the idea of religious freedom. Fr. Roger was struck how Dwight recalled Paul Revere and Rosa Parks. It's a bit of a Paul Revere moment. Only this time it's not the British that are coming. It's Big Brother. Or, if you prefer, think of Rosa Parks. We can go along and sit quietly in the back of the bus, or we can stand up for human dignity and Ihe rights of conscience. When it comes to our precious heritage of religious freedom, we must either use it or lose it. Scot said this isn't just about contraception coverage under universal health care. Just a few years ago, in the Archdiocese of Boston Catholic Charities was forced out of adoption because a new law was passed that prevented them from doing so and abiding by their conscience. Greg said on some level we say to ourselves that they wouldn't really allow the Church to close hospitals and schools. It shows that the other side will go to almost any length to impose their beliefs. Scot said once the freedom is lost, it's tough to regain it. The best strategy is to defend it while you still have it. Susan said she loves all of the history that Duncan covers. She particularly enjoyed this part: Of course, we want to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's. But we must also render to God the things that are God's. Conscience, as the voice of God within, is distinctly a resident of Our Father's house. The top story in the Anchor this week is a story about the transition of the editorship from Fr. Roger, who has been editor of the newspaper for the past 7 years. Fr. Roger said he took over in the summer of 2005, three years after the clergy sex abuse scandals broke. There were a lot of beleaguered Catholics and lot of bad coverage of the Church in the secular media, so he wanted to pull the bushel baskets off all the very good work being done in parishes across the diocese. He wanted to show that the good news was ongoing. He also wanted to specialize in local news. He wanted to cover the whole diocese. He also replaced all the national columnists with local columnists to give the newspaper a diocesan paper. Fr. Roger said he will miss the newspaper team and the pulpit in front of 29,000 people. He won't miss the extra 30 hours per week he spent on the newspaper. He plans to write some books and continue to be a pastor in his new parish. Fr. Roger said he already started working on research for a book about Pope John Paul II and young people. No matter how young we are, he thinks John Paul's teaching to young people will buttress our faith. Many of his retreats are being converted into books by Catholic publishers. A book on the prayer of Pope Benedict is coming out. Fr. Roger has been asked to continue to write a column in the Anchor each week, which will be easier as a columnist than as the editor and official voice of the diocese. His successor, Fr. Rich Wilson, is a native of Quincy who worked on the Quincy Patriot Ledger. Greg said working on the Pilot was difficult for him when he first started there. He came from a marketing firm where he was used to more regular hours. He realized that it could suck up every minute of your day. People at secular newspapers keep asking how he produces a newspaper with the small staff he has. Greg said the staff is very dedicated to what they do. Susan said she still values the tactile sense of reading an actual newspaper in print, as much as she reads news online. Scot encouraged everyone to subscribe to the Pilot or Anchor to support their work. Even if you read it online, please got to their websites and make a donation. In the Pilot this week is a special edition for the ordination Mass this weekend, which includes profiles of the six men to be ordained, but also lots of information about the men celebrating their jubilees. The six men being ordained are Eric Bennett, Eric Cadin, Felipe Gonzalez, John Healey, Br. Michael Sheehan, and Adrian Milic. Scot identified them, their backgrounds, and where they will celebrate their first Masses. Scot asked Fr. Roger to point out a few things viewers should look for. Fr. Roger said the candidates laying on the floor is often very striking to observers. It symbolizes that the old man is dying so that a new man can rise in this candidate for the priesthood. It's always very moving as all kneel and chant the litany of saints, begging for their help for the men and for all of us. It's always important when the man's hands are drenched in sacred oil and a special towel. For Fr. Roger one of the most powerful moments is hearing the newly ordained priest recite his part of the Eucharistic Prayer for the very first time. We will hear Christ in their voice continue the prayer of the Church. No matter how many ordinations he goes to, he never gets tired of them. Watch the Mass on CatholicTV, Saturday at 9 am. Also in the Pilot, the June 30 deadline looms for the Choose Life license plates. They need to have people sign up by the end of the month in order for them not to lose their bond. Another story is that the Internet controlling authority has expended internet domains beyond .com and .org. The Vatican has stepped forward to put up the money and request control over .catholic and other versions of the word in Cyrillic, Arabic, and Chinese. In a few years, anything with the .Catholic domain extension will be known as an official organization or entity of the Church. Susan said that the problem of reviewing the authenticity of websites that claim to be Catholic. So this will be for any organization that is officially listed in the Kenedy Directory in the US or other official organizations elsewhere in the world. Greg said it comes at a significant cost, $185,000 each, and $25,000 per year. He said we probably won't see these until 2013. Fr. Roger can't wait for TheGoodCatholicLife.catholic web site. Greg suggests people read the story in the Pilot about three parishes in Salem working together to form a pro-life committee. Fr. Roger suggested the article on the Fortnight for Freedom activities in parishes through the diocese of Fall River.
