When is it appropriate to refuse someone Communion? Has Bishop Frank ever fired a priest? What do we know about the Marian apparition "Our Lady of America"? What would you say to God, in 10 or fewer words, to explain why you should go to Heaven? How about the Connecticut teacher who was removed from the classroom for displaying a cross? These are just some of the excellent listener questions that Bishop Caggiano answers on Let Me Be Frank. Tune in and enjoy!

If Bishop Frank were to write a book, he says it would be about rediscovering the charism for Christian friendship. Friendship also happens to be the key to reaching and evangelizing young adults. That is the consensus among Bishop Frank, Fr Sam Kachuba (Vicar for Young Adult Ministry), and Paola Pena (Director of Evangelization at St Pius X). The culture has been offering empty promises to young adults... instead of the authentic freedom, relationship, and fulfillment that young adults (& all of us) truly desire. This was really a fantastic conversation. Enjoy! By the way, you can still squeeze in and join us as we celebrate the seven years that Veritas been on the air...

We pray in the Creed that the Holy Spirit, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified. I, for one, know so much less about the Holy Spirit... that I'm not sure I can say I adore and glorify Him the same way as the Father and the Son. So Bishop Frank gives us (me) some teaching and reflection on who the Holy Spirit is, and what He does in our lives, and the gifts He gives us and the fruits of living with Him. Enjoy!

Charlene Howard, executive director of Pax Christi USA, the national Catholic peace movement, is our special guest on this episode of Deacons Pod. "Peace is not a destination. It's a way of life," she tells Deacon Mike Berstene, one of the Paulist Deacon Affiliates, as she describes Pax Christi's work to promote peace, non-violence, and justice in the model of Jesus Christ. Deacon Mike asks Charlene what she hopes Catholics are considering now about the war with Iran. He also asks her about growing up Catholic in Washington, D.C., her previous work as a teacher, and her Easter Sunday reflection at Catholic Women Preach. Pax Christi USA has chapters around the United States, individual members, and a young adult caucus. It is a section of Pax Christi International.

Meet Maria.  She's the newest fundraising officer in the Diocese of Bridgeport... and she is a work of autonomous artificial intelligence. Bishop Caggiano is at the tip of the spear, as we become the first diocese in the country to incorporate an AI fundraising officer. Why are we doing this? How will it help? Emily Groccia, of Givzey, and Deacon Pat Toole join Bishop Frank to discuss the plans and implementation, the benefits and drawbacks, of Maria. My input? "I'm perpetually worried about our future robot overlords." (Please don't tell my computer or my phone that I said that.)

Happy Easter! Alleluia!  We are in the octave of Easter and just at the start of the 50-day Easter season! We celebrate this joyous season with some fun... opening up the mailbag so Bishop Frank can answer listener questions, like: ...where was the Garden of Eden? ...has there been a recurring theme in your homilies throughout your priesthood? ...what is the protocol for meeting a pope? ...what are the signs of possession?

Robert Misik im Gespräch mit Linda Kreuzer und Wolfgang PalaverDONALD TRUMP UND DIE GOTTESKRIEGERPolitische Theologie 2.0„Trumps Gotteskrieger“ titelte der „Spiegel“ vor einigen Wochen. Tatsächlich bildet sich in den USA eine eigentümliche neue Allianz aus High-Tech und einem neuen christlichen Fundamentalismus, der nicht nur die üblichen evangelikalen Milieus umfasst, sondern auch den Neo-Katholiken und Vizepräsidenten J. D. Vance. Der Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel wiederum beschäftigt sich im Nachklang an Carl Schmitts „politische Theologie“ und andere Quellen zunehmend mit Apokalyptik und spricht vom „Katechon“, der den „Antichristen“ aufhält.Wolfgang Palaver, Innsbrucker Theologe, ist als ebenso kritischer wie intensiver Gesprächspartner Thiels bekannt – und ein guter Kenner des neuen „Denkens des Silicon Valley“.Linda Kreuzer wiederum beschäftigt sich mit der Ästhetisierung des Ideologischen, insbesondere etwa am Beispiel der „US-amerikanischen katholischen Trad-Wives“, also Frauen, die auf moderne Weise einen traditionellen, frommen Lebensstil propagieren.Geht das alles über die gewohnte „Religiösisierung“ der US-Politik hinaus? Welche Bedeutung haben autoritäre Ideologien, welches Gewicht ihre theologische Grundierung? Was hat es mit dem christlichen Fundamentalismus auf sich? Und wie denkt das Valley? Linda Kreuzer, Universitätsassistentin an der katholisch-theologischen Fakultät der Universität Wien, Fachbereich SozialethikWolfgang Palaver, Professor em. für Christliche Gesellschaftslehre an der Universität Innsbruck und Präsident von Pax Christi Österreich; als Lehrbeauftragter an der PTH Brixen in den theologischen und religionspädagogischen Studiengängen sowie im USG Angewandte Ethik tätig; seit April 2025 Sonderbeauftragten gegen Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Diskriminierung der Organisation für Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit in Europa (OSZE).Moderation:Robert Misik, Autor und Journalist

"Death is not a lightswitch. It's a process; it happens in stages." That was the theme of Bishop Frank Caggiano's conversation with Mike Carlon. Mike wrote The Waiting Room, a novel about two families who are in the hospital with their dying loved ones on Christmas Eve. After losing both his brother and his mother in the course of 13 months, Mike woke up in the middle of the night and began writing this book. Bishop Frank & Mike dive deep in to many topics, including:  ...how do we confront and handle the end of life of a loved one? ...where are the dead, and what is the veil that separates the living and the dead? ...what are the stages of the process of death? ...how is an author born, and how do you tell a good story?

Proclaim the good news of the peace of Jesus Christ!

What Christ Suffered examines the passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ through the eyes of a physician, detailing Jesus's suffering from a physiological and medical point of view.   And... the book is even more than that. It is also a reflection on Paul's words to the Colossians: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church." In other words: how can we suffer well and how can we suffer for the benefit of others?   Dr McGovern is Bishop Caggiano's guest this week on Let Me Be Frank, and I'm confident that this book would be a tremendous resource for you this Lent.   Oh, and what prompted Bishop Frank to say: "Harvard... we don't talk about them"?   Pax Christi,   Steve Lee The other guy on Let Me Be Frank

Blessed Ash Wednesday to you. Bishop Caggiano helps us begin Lent on the right foot, as he reflects on: ...what are the two focuses of Lent for each of us personally? ...what is the purpose of this season of penance? Where is the journey heading? ...what can we expect to see in our churches over these 40 days? We also talked about Archbishop Fulton Sheen, whose upcoming beatification was confirmed by the Vatican, as well as about Bishop Caggiano's recent audience with Pope Leo XIV. By the way, this diocesan Lenten pilgrimage is a fantastic way to spend your Lent and prepare for Easter.

"My parents loved me..." That's how Fr Gregory Pine OP began his testimony when Bishop Frank asked about his journey of faith.  Fr Gregory joined us on Let Me Be Frank to talk about his new book: Training The Tongue And Growing Beyond Sins of Speech... which details how we can elevate our speech, enhance conversation, and (most importantly) cultivate communion. Fr Gregory & Bishop Frank also talk about: ...are there times when you should withhold the truth? ...can reading the classics enhance our speech and communication? ...what role does humor play in conversation and interaction? ...how do Millennials & Gen Z differ in their relationship with Truth? You will certainly enjoy this conversation! And be sure to pick up a copy of Training the Tongue for Lent. Pax Christi, Steve Lee The other guy on Let Me Be Frank

The Holy Spirit is on the move. Bishop Caggiano has observed that there is a turning of the tide, a window of opportunity, a newfound openness to the Catholic faith in people who were not open just a few years ago. There are quantitative and qualitative signs… a perfect storm of events and circumstances coming together that bode very hopefully for the growth of the Catholic faith. What does this perfect storm mean? What caused it? How do we take advantage of it? Bishop Frank looks at a number of factors, including: demographic shifts, the strength of the Church on the continent of Africa, and economic realities in the US… how should we respond to this window of opportunity?

What is one great success Bishop Frank is proud of?  What is one regret that he carries with him? Where does the money from Sunday collections go? Why don't all the parishes in the diocese follow the same rituals? Yup, it's another mailbag episode of Let Me Be Frank! Bishop Caggiano answers the questions above, plus many more. Enjoy!

It's our 2025 year in review... the three biggest takeaways in the Catholic Church, in the Diocese of Bridgeport, and in the personal life of Bishop Frank Caggiano.

Gladiator. I can't believe I forgot to mention Gladiator. Bishop Caggiano and I were at St Joseph's High School to take student questions for this episode of Let Me Be Frank, and they asked some excellent questions, like: “When someone says the Holy Spirit revealed something to them; how do we know they're telling the truth?” “In God's eyes, is the Pope holier than I am?” “How do you stay open to the Holy Spirit's guidance, especially when Jesus seems to be absent?” …and when one student asked “What's your favorite movie?” Bishop gave his answer and then turned to me. I blanked. I named three excellent movies, but I forgot to mention Gladiator. Anyway, happy New Year! Enjoy this fun and informative conversation with St Joseph HS seniors!

Merry Christmas! As you celebrate today (and throughout the Christmas octave), Bishop Caggiano's suggestion is to take some time in front of the image of the nativity... ponder that image in silence and realize the enormity of God's love for you. To help, he offers his reflections on the mystery of God's incarnation. And... why does Christmas feel different?  In the second segment, Bishop Frank looks at the saints' feast days in the Christmas octave. Stephen, John the Apostle, the Holy Innocents, Thomas Becket, and Pope Sylvester. Why are they each celebrated during Christmas?   Pax Christi, Steve Lee The other guy on Let Me Be Frank NOTES

Since the mailbag was getting fuller than Santa's sack of gifts, we thought Bishop Caggiano should answer some listener questions. Among them are some serious ones, like:   …can someone who has committed suicide still go to Heaven? …why do priests wear different colored vestments throughout the year? …what was the most important question that Jesus asked in the Gospels?   And there were a couple that were more my speed, like: What is your favorite scary movie?   Yeah, I can answer that! Good thing we have the bishop for the toughies.    Pax Christi, Steve Lee  

Some folks today hear the word "immigration" and immediately take sides and prepare for a fight... But the conference of US bishops, at their fall meeting, issued a comprehensive and balanced "Special Pastoral Message" with near unanimous unity... on immigration - looking at human dignity and the orderly regulation of borders. Bishop Caggiano walks us through the important statement by the USCCB on Let Me Be Frank, and he also gives us a look at the history and function of the conference itself. Bishop stresses that we need to be able to dialogue about things like immigration, in order to come up with realistic solutions that protect both human lives and a nation's borders. So I ask you to please listen to, or watch, the entire conversation before you form your opinion of the USCCB's statement.

Bénédicte Kusendila is afkomstig van Sint-Niklaas, heeft een Congolese vader die diplomaat was, werkt voor Pax Christi, is vrijwilliger in de Brusselse Begijnhofkerk, ook bekend als het House of Compassion van roerganger Daniël Alliët. Ze studeerde aan de universiteit van Leuven en aan die van Kaapstad (Zuid-Afrika). Ze was onderzoeker, directeur van een taleninstituut, leerkracht, geluidstechnicus. In 2017 debuteerde ze met de dichtbundel Sewn In Red, in rood geweven. Ze toerde en trad op en haar in het Engels en het Zuid-Afrikaans geschreven kortverhalen en poëzie werden gepubliceerd in Europa, Zuid-Afrika en de Verenigde Staten. Overal viel haar werk in de prijzen. Bénédicte - Bene voor de vrienden - houdt van haar kinderen, is muzikant en ze houdt van de natuur. Oog in oog met onrecht, geweld en conflict valt er een keuze te maken, vindt ze, wat haar betreft een moeilijke en niet de meest comfortabele keuze, een keuze die moed vraagt. De keuze houdt in dat je geweld niet met geweld beantwoordt, onrecht niet met stilzwijgen en conflict niet met ontwijking. Het is een keuze voor de Zachte Kracht, niet die voor oog om oog, tand om tand, want die laat alleen blinden achter. Het is een keuze die vandaag ondergesneeuwd is geraakt door een oorlogsnarratief, maar nog altijd overeind staat. Het is de levenskeuze van Bénédicte Kusendila. Leo A. De Bock praat met haar over haar leven en keuzes, over poëzie, over de Zuid-Afrikaanse zanger en anti-apartheidsactivist Johannes Kerkorrel, over oorlog en vrede, over pacifisme versus het oorlogsopbod van vandaag, over de waarheid als enige waardige uitkomst en toekomst.

On Friday Oct. 3, shortly before dawn, 100 protestors disrupted Maersk's and ZIM's operations at the port of Elizabeth, New Jersey. This site exports weapons used by Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza, shipped by Maersk and ZIM. In addition, it is one of the largest weapons exporters on the East coast. Supplying these weapons for Israel's genocide is a blatant violation of the U.S. War Crimes Act, the Leahy law, The Foreign Assistance Act, Arms Export Control Act, and The Genocide Convention Implementation Act. John Amidon of Veterans for Peace and Pax Christi talks about the event.

Von der Schuldzuweisung an Russland zur Kritik am kollektiven WestenEin Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Die deutsche Friedensbewegung durchläuft einen bemerkenswerten Wandel. Jahrelang galt Russland als der alleinige Aggressor im Ukraine-Konflikt, während die westlichen Staaten – insbesondere die USA, die NATO und die EU – als Verteidiger der Demokratie und des Völkerrechts gefeiert wurden. Selbst Parteien und Organisationen, die sich als „links“ bezeichneten, wiederkäuten gedankenlos das westliche Propaganda-Narrativ vom „brutalen, unprovozierten, völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg“ der bösen Russen gegen die unschuldige Ukraine.Doch die jüngsten Äußerungen traditioneller und linker Friedensorganisationen wie der Deutschen Friedensgesellschaft – Vereinigte Kriegsgegner (DFG-VK) und des Bündnisses „Rheinmetall Entwaffnen“ zeugen von einer tiefgreifenden Neuorientierung. Plötzlich wird die These, dass Russland die alleinige Schuld am Krieg trägt, infrage gestellt, und die Verantwortung des kollektiven Westens rückt in den Fokus. Dieser Wandel verdient eine genauere Betrachtung.Seit Beginn der russischen militärischen Sonderoperation (SMO) am 14. Februar 2022 stand unbegreiflicherweise der Großteil der deutschen Friedensbewegung weitgehend geschlossen hinter der offiziellen Linie der Bundesregierung: Russland führt einen völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg, und der Diktator Wladimir Putin trägt die alleinige Verantwortung. Dies spiegelte sich in den Aufrufen von Organisationen wie der DFG-VK, der Ärztevereinigung IPPNW und Pax Christi wider. Ein Aufruf von 2024 verdeutlichte dies exemplarisch: „Die mehr als zehn aufrufenden Gruppen verurteilen den völkerrechtswidrigen Angriff Russlands auf die gesamte Ukraine“. Noch im Vorjahr betonte die Brandenburger Sektion der DFG-VK in ihrem Aufruf[i] „Pazifismus statt Putin-Propaganda“: „Die Kriegsursache sitzt in Moskau“, usw.Doch im Vorfeld der großen Friedensdemonstration am Antikriegstag in Köln am 30. August 2025 zeigt sich ein radikaler Paradigmenwechsel. Die DFG-VK stellt nun die Narrative infrage, die sie selbst lange unterstützt hat. In ihrem Aufruf vom 17. August[ii] heißt es:„Mit der Begründung einer angeblichen Bedrohung durch Russland, haben viele Staaten, darunter Deutschland, massive zusätzliche Ausgaben für Waffen, militärische Infrastruktur und Maßnahmen zur Kriegsvorbereitung in allen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen (Wirtschaft, Bildung, Gesundheitswesen u.v.m.) eingeleitet.“...https://apolut.net/traditionelle-deutsche-friedensbewegung-beginnt-umzudenken-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

"Salvation is of the entire person, not just the soul. If we involve the body in the spiritual life, we are completing that which the Lord wants." Bishop Frank made that observation during his conversation with Jamie Baxter, founder of Exodus 90. Exodus 90 is an outstanding program for men to lean on prayer, asceticism, and fraternity as a means to the goal of freedom. This was a really, very edifying conversation for me to listen in on. I've been afraid to give Exodus 90 a try, despite many invitations from dear friends... perhaps this episode is a sign I should not ignore any longer...

Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the conclave has given us Pope Leo XIV… Chicago-born, Augustinian educated, formed in the dry climate of Peru, and given a red hat to head up the Dicastry for Bishops. Bishop Caggiano talks all about Pope Leo XIV - his background, his experience, and his (so far) stated vision for his papacy. This is an important week for Veritas… we spend two weeks in pledge drive so that we can fund the other 50 weeks of the year.

Has Bishop Caggiano ever been in a fight? Yes, you guessed it… it's time to dive into the mailbag! On Let Me Be Frank this week, Bishop Frank answers questions like: Should we receive communion standing or kneeling? On the tongue or in the hand? How many approved Marian apparitions have there been? How does the Church evaluate reported apparitions? What is the sin of pride? What would Bishop Frank's (& Steve's) final meal be?

40 Jahre lang engagiert sich die Pax-Christi-Gruppe Erftstadt jetzt schon für den Frieden. Dabei haben sie unruhige Zeiten erlebt, aber auch viel bewirkt. Heute sehen sie sich wieder mit Kriegen und Krisen konfrontiert. Denen begegnen sie weiter mit gewaltfreiem Protest, Info-Veranstaltungen und einer guten Vernetzung. Die neue Herausforderung ist, das Engagement lebendig zu halten und auch an die junge Generation weiterzugeben. Darüber haben die drei langjährigen Mitglieder Renate Zwicker Pelzer, Gerhard Pelzer und Rosa Schmitges mit unserem Autor Michael Hartke gesprochen. Diesen Beitrag produzierte Michael Hartke für die Medienwerkstatt Katholisches Bildungsforum Rhein-Erft.

All eyes have been on the Vatican for the past couple weeks, appropriately so as we are in the season of Easter.   On Let Me Be Frank, Bishop Caggiano reflects on the life of Pope Francis and prays for his soul . He also prays for the College of Cardinals, as they have an historic task ahead of them.   What is the task ahead? What is the schedule and program for the cardinals who have gathered in Rome for the conclave, which begins on May 7th?   Bishop Frank lays it all out for us, so we know (as much as we can know) what to expect in the weeks to come.   By the way, I recently read a beautiful tribute from Fr Raymond de Souza in The Catholic Thing about the liturgical rhythm of Pope Francis's death and his final days on earth. Fr de Souza pointed out that the past many popes have died “according to a liturgical rhythm”… Francis on Easter Monday, John XXIII on the day after Pentecost, John Paul II on Divine Mercy Sunday, Benedict XVI on the vigil of Mary Mother of God, and Paul VI on the Transfiguration.

Happy Easter! He is risen! Nota bene: Bishop Caggiano & I recorded this episode of Let Me Be Frank before the Holy Father passed away. In the next episode, we will certainly reflect on the pontificate, suffering, and death of Pope Francis… and perhaps talk about what lies ahead. In the meantime… did the Easter Bilby (yes, Bilby) visit your house? My guess is... no. Unless you're Australian. On Let Me Be Frank this week, Bishop Caggiano takes us on a voyage around the world to see how Easter is celebrated in Australia, France, Antigua, Greece, Sweden, Mexico, Bermuda, Poland, Philippines, New York, and Italy. Well, you have all of Easter Season (until June 8th) to try some of these traditions out yourself. Bishop Frank also gives a tip for evangelization... and I tell a story of mercy.

You gotta see this…    In something brand new for Let Me Be Frank, we recorded the show live in front of an audience at St Mary Church in Greenwich!   “What do you want to talk about?” I asked Bishop Caggiano before we started rolling the cameras.   “Let's see what the people in the audience have on their minds,” he smiled.   And so this week's episode is audience questions (and follow ups). We talked about: …why do pastors have term limits? …how do we get families of children in CCD to be more active? …how do we revitalize our Catholic schools? …how can we pray the rosary better? …can you help me forgive someone who continues to hurt me?   I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode… and please join us for the next live audience session on Friday, May 30th at St Rose of Lima in Newtown!   Pax Christi, Steve Lee The other guy on Let Me Be Frank   LINKS Email List: https://www.veritascatholic.com/ To Support Veritas: https://www.veritascatholic.com/donate Other Shows The Tangent on Veritas: https://www.youtube.com/@thetangentonveritas Daily Reflections: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyCatholicReflections Restless Catholic Young Adults: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1SbvGysG6C0mnQRAVcagkg  

Controversies in Church History returns to its ongoing series on the Latinization of the Eastern Churches. The tenth installment deals with the trials of the Armenian Catholic Church, which faced persecution within the Ottoman Empire but also suspicion from Rome, which led to a brief schism in the 1870s. Along the way we discuss the wider context of the Ottoman Empire, Vatican I and the calamity of the Armenian Genocide during WWI. Please spread the word about the podcast if you like what you hear.

Scottie reeve: Peace, Pax Romana vs Pax Christi - 8 December 2024 by Blueprint Church

Patrick has a profound discussion about the sacred bonds of marriage and the divine role of Mary as the spouse of the Holy Spirit. He distinguishes doctrines from customs in the Catholic faith, highlighting their significance and divine origin. For an insightful dive into this theological topic, he recommends exploring Pope John Paul II's encyclical, Redemptoris Mater.   Mary - What do you know about the group called Pax Christi? (03:05) Tony - Can I walk my bicycle inside the Church so it doesn't get stolen? (12:53) John - What are the ramifications of Mary being the spouse of the Holy Spirit? (15:30) James Earl Jones was Catholic (23:17) George - Can you talk about tonight's debate and the values we should look for as Catholics? (33:35) Jackie - Can a Catholic attend a Jewish Chabad ceremony? (41:56)

(2:00) Bible Study: NA 2:1, 3; 3:1-3, 6-7 Father talks about the ethnicity cleansing of Nineveh MT 16:24-28 If there was nothing in it for you, would you still follow Jesus? (18:29) Break 1 Father answers when Jesus actually gave Peter the keys to the kingdom. (22:50) Letters: Father answers a whether or not confession is needed because the curtain was torn in the temple, what it means to have baptism for the dead and a visionary who saw visions of the life of Christ. (36:23) Break 2 (39:06) Word of the Day: Prophet (41:43) Phones: Daniel - Thank you for everything he's given, and that from the Catechism supports in the Kingdom of God.  In CCC 221, the whole idea of his kingly nature is love.   What do you think? Jackie - How do you get forgiveness from someone who's passed on? Mary - Does he know anything about Pax Christi, they're very leftist? Charles - Who knew and who didn't know and when that the Ark was in the Holy of Holies? Harriat – Can I see a relic if I am not in the state of grace?

In Wat blijft gaat Lara Billie Rense in gesprek met tekstschrijver en regisseur Joeri Vos over het fenomeen Maria. Met muziektheatergezelschap De Veenfabriek maakte Vos de voorstelling MARIA MARIA MARIA, over de bekendste moeder ter wereld. Hij laat daarin Maria het publiek rechtstreeks toespreken: Jacobien Elffers speelt Maria en vertelt, onder begeleiding van muzikanten, over haar leven en dat van haar kinderen. Vos deed onderzoek naar moederschap en liet zich inspireren door verhalen uit de Bijbel en de Koran, persoonlijke verhalen van de muzikanten en liederen over middeleeuwse wonderen. Wat leert Maria ons over menselijkheid en moederschap? Waarom is zij nog altijd zo'n enorme inspiratiebron voor kunstenaars over de hele wereld?  Verder in Wat blijft: gitarist Duane Eddy, econoom Bob Goudzwaard en theoloog Fred van Iersel. In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: Theoloog, ethicus, bijzonder hoogleraar en hoofdaalmoezenier van het ministerie van Justitie Fred van Iersel had gedurende zijn leven en loopbaan eigenlijk maar één onderwerp: oorlog en vrede. Of preciezer: de ethiek van de krijgsmacht. Hij was betrokken bij de vredesbeweging Pax Christi en promoveerde in 1993 in de godgeleerdheid op het proefschrift 'Vrede leren in de kerk' dat de polarisatie beschrijft die de kerken doormaakten als gevolg van vredesactivisme.Toen hij ongeneeslijk ziek werd, ging hij op bedevaart naar Lourdes en daarover schreef hij een boek. Peter Blom volgt zijn spoor terug: Wat blijft, na de dood van Fred van Iersel? ---- Redactie radio: Laura Iwuchukwu, Nina Ramkisoen, Geerte Verduijn, Jessica Zoghary.

Theoloog, ethicus, bijzonder hoogleraar, hoofdaalmoezenier van het ministerie van Justitie Fred van Iersel was zijn leven lang bezig met het onderwerp oorlog, vrede en de ethiek van de krijgsmacht. Hij was betrokken bij de vredesbeweging Pax Christi, verleende geestelijke bijstand aan militairen, schreef boeken en doceerde in Tilburg; alles wat hij deed was met een enorme betrokkenheid. Hij was als kind al gehandicapt – hij was halfzijdig verlamd– iets dat hem nog meer stimuleerde vooral zijn intellect in te zetten voor de goede zaak. Toen hij uiteindelijk ernstig ziek werd, ging hij op bedevaart naar Lourdes.  Peter Blom volgt zijn spoor terug: Wat blijft, na de dood van Fred van Iersel?

“I think there's a major concern for living more in harmony with creation, which is a result of conversion,” says Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv., “But I think Pope Francis is also, as our good shepherd, calling us to greater urgency to act because time is slipping away and we haven't done much.”  Bishop John Stowe is a Conventional Franciscan, the third bishop of Lexington, Kentucky and the bishop president of Pax Christi. Listen to Bishop Stowe's homily for the Fourth Sunday of Easter year B on this week's episode of “Preach.” After the homily, he shares with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J.—a Jesuit priest from South Africa, associate editor at America and associate pastor at the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Manhattan—how he connects the image of the Good Shepherd from the gospels to the climate crisis.
