As you have probably heard in the news over the past month or so, the Trump administration has frozen foreign aid programs and essentially dismantled USAID, which is the federal government's overseas humanitarian relief agency. These decisions have had an enormous impact on the work of both faith-based and secular nonprofit organizations doing humanitarian work, including Catholic ones. Our guest today, Bill O'Keefe, is one of the top executives at Catholic Relief Services, which is the official overseas humanitarian agency of the American Catholic community. Since their founding over 80 years ago, CRS has grown to serve communities in poverty in more 100 countries around the world. Bill has served at CRS for 38 years, and today he is the agency's Executive Vice President for Mission, Mobilization and Advocacy. In addition to advocating on in Washington, DC, for robust U.S. foreign aid funding, Bill mobilizes CRS' supporters across the country in a shared mission to support the world's most vulnerable people. There is probably no single person in the country who knows as much as Bill does about how the gutting of the US government's foreign aid programs will affect the US Church's ability to help people across the globe. Host Mike Jordan Laskey found it so informative and helpful to talk to Bill. But it was also incredibly upsetting. People will die because of these decisions. The US Catholic Church's immense humanitarian network is being hollowed out. It's hard to know what we US Catholics can do in response. Bill hasn't given up hope, though, and he and his team are working hard to figure out how to keep doing their essential, life-saving work around the world. He also shared some practical ways we can all pitch in to help support the mission.

The Catholic Leadership Institute is a lay association of the faithful that helps individuals discern their purpose and put their gifts and talents at the service of the Church. They provide leadership training, help parishes and dioceses cast vision, and facilitate conversations about the future of the Church. Vision plays a crucial role in inspiring and mobilizing people to draw out the best in others. However, leading through the danger zone, where there is pushback and resistance, is essential for significant growth and change. It is important to have honest conversations and provide feedback with love and trust in order to foster growth and improvement. The challenges facing the Church, such as declining vocations and financial constraints, require difficult and complex conversations to ensure a vibrant future for the Church. In this conversation, Ron Huntley and Dan Cellucci discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the Catholic Church today. They emphasize the importance of having a clear vision and mission, as well as the need for strong leadership and a willingness to adapt to change. They also discuss the role of laypeople in the Church and the importance of building relationships and community. Overall, they highlight the need for a renewed focus on making new disciples and sharing the faith with others. You can also listen to the podcast weekly on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

This week, we have an OG Episode from our first season. We're releasing it again because last week was NFP Awareness Week in the US Church. We talk about NFP in light of the Church's teaching about the individual consciences and the law of gradualism. Paul also shares some of his personal experience with NFP and being a part of the NFP subculture. A content warning, this episode will include discussion about sexuality. “We have long thought that simply by stressing doctrinal, bioethical and moral issues, without encouraging openness to grace, we were providing sufficient support to families, strengthening the marriage bond and giving meaning to marital life. We find it difficult to present marriage more as a dynamic path to personal development and fulfillment than as a lifelong burden. We also find it hard to make room for the consciences of the faithful, who very often respond as best they can to the Gospel amid their limitations, and are capable of carrying out their own discernment in complex situations. We have been called to form consciences, not to replace them” (Pope Francis, Amoris Latitia).

They discuss the disconnect between the US Church and the rest of the world. Finally, they discuss areas where the institutional Church needs to improve its approach to communication.

The pandemic, lockdowns, and quarantine caused many to find themselves struggling in different ways, including those in our Catholic Church. Is in person Mass attendance still on decline, or will attendance go back to pre-pandemic levels? On this episode Father Agustino, Solanyi and their Guest Father Paul Shelton, SJ, who is one of the priests selected to travel and preach for the National Eucharistic Revival, will discuss: how the pandemic could have weakened or strengthened family dynamics; if the US Church is having difficulty regaining in person-attendees; and, on a fun note, what it was like experiencing parking lot and virtual Masses.  Father Agustino Torres Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oralecp/?hl=enSolanyi Rodriguez Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solgotsoul/?hl=enFather Paul Shelton- https://beajesuit.org/Fr.

In a provocative article for Christianity Today, Daniel K. Williams, a professor of history at the University of West Georgia, charts the decline of the church in the South by focusing on the mass exit of white southern evangelicals. Though hardly representatives of the entire southern church, this group does point to a sea change in the spiritual life of this region. Is this further evidence of the church's waning powers in North America? Is the church dying? We're not convinced. Take a listen and see what you think.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis described Russia's use of mercenaries in the Ukraine war as “monstrous” in an interview published on Tuesday. Speaking to the editors of Jesuit journals, the pope also suggested that the war, which began with a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, was “perhaps somehow either provoked or not prevented.” Commenting on Ukraine, the pope said: “What we are seeing is the brutality and ferocity with which this war is being carried out by the troops, generally mercenaries, used by the Russians. The Russians prefer to send in Chechen and Syrian mercenaries.” The pope added that he hoped to meet with Russian Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill in Kazakhstan in September. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251535/pope-francis-deplores-russia-s-monstrous-use-of-mercenaries-in-ukraine US bishops are pleading for an end to violence following the ongoing attacks on Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers. The bishops have tracked 139 church attacks since 2020 — a number that has increased significantly since the May 2 leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion in the abortion case Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization. In recent months, “charities that support pregnant mothers in need have been firebombed, and pro-life organizations have been attacked almost daily and terrorized, and even the lives of Supreme Court justices have been directly threatened,” the US Church leaders noted. The bishops explained that the Catholic Church provides a great service to all in need, and, quote, “consistently bears witness in word and deed to the beauty and dignity of every human life.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251533/title-bishops Pope Francis will not preside at a Mass and procession on the feast of Corpus Christi, the Vatican announced on Monday. The Holy See press office said on June 13 that the decision was taken “due to the limitations imposed on the pope by gonalgia,” or knee pain, “and the specific liturgical needs of the celebration.” The announcement came the day after the 85-year-old-pope apologized for having to postpone a scheduled trip to Africa in July because of his knee problem. The pope is still scheduled to visit Canada on July 24-29. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251526/pope-francis-won-t-preside-at-corpus-christi-mass-and-procession-due-to-knee-pain Today, the Church celebrates Saint Methodius of Constantinople, who worked for unity and reconciliation in the Eastern Church and served as the Patriarch of Constantinople the last five years of his life. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-methodius-of-constantinople-506

The church in the US is in a freefall decline. The decline is unprecedented. The majority of church membership is held in churches of under 100 in attendance. At the same time, the megachurches are growing while "mom and pop" small churches are closing their doors. The problem is very, very dire. So where does this leave our children who are being raised in the church today? Are they more at risk or is abuse going to see a decline as churches decline? We unpack this and more in this episode.

This week, Martin Tibbert shares a new talk for our Church Rebooted series titled "God Has a Plan For Us". If you missed any of the talks from the "Church Rebooted" series then you can catch up via our podcast, and we highly recommend that you do! God has been speaking to us about a reboot; some of which is already beginning to happen. In this series Martin unpacked how a fresh look at Ephesians 4 (v 7-16) gives a framework for this.

Justin highlights the hypocrisy at the border.Also, Pastor Joe Bevelacqua, New Chapel, joined in to talk about a new poll that says less than half of Americans are members of a church.

Following the pro-Trump riots and storming of Congress at Capitol Hill, many fear white evangelicals in the USA are in the grip of political idolatry in their support of the outgoing president. Justin is joined by Johnnie Moore who chaired Trump’s Evangelical Executive Council and defends Trump’s administration, and Christian justice activist Shane Claiborne who has been an outspoken critic of the president.

An issue this podcast keeps returning to is bishops' accountability. Are the reforms of Vos estis lux mundi being applied in the US Church? This episode features Cardinal Timothy Dolan, reporters Harriet Ryan of the L.A. Times and Christopher Altieri of the UK Catholic Herlald, and canon lawyer Tom Doyle.

In this Episode, two guests - Rev Norman Dowe, and Akosua Agyire - talk to me about their concerns regarding the state of the Church in the USA. This is an unabashed look at where the church is today in her attempt at representing Jesus Christ. While not exhaustive, the insights laid out in this conversation is a good start at looking further into this important issue.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sbrobbeyjr)

The 450-page report includes testimonies and dozens of letters and transcripts from Vatican and US Church archives. Mr McCarrick is alleged to have assaulted a teenager in the early 1970s, while working as a priest in New York. Also: a new species of monkey is found in the remote jungles of Myanmar, and the co-creator of the TV cartoon character Scooby-Doo Ken Spears has died at the age of 82.

The Australian church often looks to the US church for what's next – you can think of them as our big R&D department over the other side of the pacific. Today's special guest, Daniel Im, is here to help us get a handle on how the North American church is going, and what's worth taking note of.
