The Catholic Morning Show – 06/30/2026

On today's show, Bo Bonner leads two conversations at the heart of the Catholic intellectual and spiritual life — the renewal of authentic Catholic education and the witness of a future saint. Catholic Liberal Education Reborn — Fr. Dcn. Kyle Washut Fr. Dcn. Kyle Washut, president of Wyoming Catholic College [https://wyomingcatholic.edu/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], discusses his new introduction to the reprint of Truth on Trial: The Rise and Fall of the Integrated Humanities Program at the University of Kansas by Dr. Robert K. Carlson. He traces how the 1970s "Great Books" program led by professors John Senior, Dennis Quinn, and Franklyn Nelick instilled wonder through poetry, song, Latin, friendship, and the outdoors — fueling more than 300 conversions (including Bishop James Conley), inspiring religious vocations, and helping seed Clear Creek Abbey, Wyoming Catholic College, and today's Catholic classical education movement.

Born in Wonder: How a Kansas Great Books Program Sparked a Catholic Education Revival – Fr. Dcn. Kyle Washut – 06/30/2026

The Book Fr. Dcn. Kyle Washut, president of Wyoming Catholic College [https://wyomingcatholic.edu/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], wrote the new introduction to the reprint of Truth on Trial: The Rise and Fall of the Integrated Humanities Program at the University of Kansas, authored by Dr. Robert K. Carlson — founding dean of Wyoming Catholic College and a student and friend of John Senior. The reprint appears in The Adeodatus Series on Catholic Education and Culture and is available from CUA Press [https://www.cuapress.org/9781949822588/truth-on-trial/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. What Made the IHP Different The Integrated Humanities Program (IHP) ran at the secular University of Kansas in the 1970s, led by three professors — John Senior, Dennis Quinn, and Franklyn Nelick. Rather than deconstructing the classics, students read Homer and Virgil to be moved by them, memorized poetry, sang songs, learned Latin, waltzed, told stories, and stargazed under the night sky. Washut explains how this immersion in authentic human culture — what John Senior called the recovery of a "hearth culture" — produced more than 300 conversions to the Catholic faith. The Fruits Among those formed by the program: Bishop James Conley (who writes a foreword to the reprint) and Archbishop Paul Coakley. The IHP's influence rippled outward to Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma, St. Gregory's Academy, St. Martin's Academy, and the founding of Wyoming Catholic College itself — a vision Washut says is carried forward today through John Henry Newman's principle of "personal influence" and the friendship between professors and students rooted in the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.

The Catholic Morning Show – 06/29/2026

Bo Bonner is back. After roughly six weeks away — including travel in the UK during the World Cup — Bo Bonner returns to the host chair alongside Alexia Baker, Brady Grimm, and Ayden Pugh on the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. Segment 1 – The Value of Sports with Fr. Reed Flood. Dowling Catholic High School chaplain and Diocese of Des Moines assistant vocations director Fr. Reed Flood joins the show to unpack Pope Leo XIV's June prayer intention "for the values of sports," timed to the FIFA World Cup. Fr. Flood reflects on sport as a school of virtue, the Greek idea of eutrapelia (good play), the link between play and the liturgy (drawing on Josef Pieper and Romano Guardini), and practical ways families can pray through their fandom — including praying for athletes to become saints. He also points listeners to the upcoming Ad Astra high school youth conference hosted by Serva Fidem: servafidem.org [https://www.servafidem.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. Learn more about the Holy Father's monthly intentions through the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network. Segment 2 – Catholic Saints of America with John Paul Brissette. John Paul Brissette, director of communications for the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin — the first and only approved Marian apparition site in the United States — previews the Catholic Saints of America exhibit, July 1–9, honoring 76 saints, blesseds, venerables, and servants of God for the nation's 250th anniversary. Highlights include 14 relics available for public veneration, daily speakers, a children's scavenger hunt, an All-American picnic hosted by the Knights of Columbus (July 5), and a Novena for Our Nation beginning July 1. The shrine is about four to six hours from most of Iowa, roughly 20 minutes outside Green Bay.
