Father Anthony with Tony today gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father offers prayer at the opening of the show.  After prayer Father talks about seven catholic traditions that are quietly coming back as we happily continue to see growth in the number of persons joining the Catholic Church.  Father shares an article, “Are We in the End Times?”, by Father Joseph Gill.  Father reads from the article as they discuss and contemplate its applicability.  The author references differences that he points to that are impacting our times.  He identifies seven differences that impact our culture, our world, our times. Father goes through each difference and along with Tony, they concur with the author that these seven differences are definitely causing major shifts in our world.  Will these lead us to the ends of time?   St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]

Episode #4820 Fr. Koys Tackles Birth Tourism and Just War Theory

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles Birth Tourism and Just War Theory. Father Koys discusses what Birth Tourism is and how it ends up affecting who votes and who we are as a nation pointing out that we are a nation searching for identity as we suffer through an identity crisis.  In discussing this he makes relational connection between how we become a citizen and how we become a catholic: vowing fidelity to the US and accepting Baptism being born into Catholicism. Later he discusses the 5 aspects of the Just War Theory.  He reviews each aspect of the theory and discusses his interpretation as to how they apply to the current war.   After the final break he delves into his analysis of the application of the Just War Theory in the war with Iran.    St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]

Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony regroup today after the Tridium and Easter Sunday.  They chat about the current times we're living in and the state of the world; war and fear of escalation. They try to turn to the better topic of Easter and Father recounts the story of the young man coming to terms that there is a God and he needs to accept this and stop living in denial.  Father comments on the beauty of that acceptance and discusses how the gospel calls us to love and obey God.  His hope is that ALL come to this realization and live a life according to God’s Law.
