  • What refreshing conversations with a wonderful Catholic Bishop

    I am not from Diocese of Bridgeport, but I love this pod. Bishop Frank enjoys the unique qualifications of a true leader with vision, clarity of faith, and simple candor. He sees it and he says it. But always in a loving and often humorous way!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Glorifying the Holy Spirit
Q: Will you be attending World Youth Day in Korea?
The bishop is considering it but has not decided yet, noting age dynamics and the need for coordination with other dioceses due to costs.
Matthew Hennessey from the Wall Street Journal
Q: Where does the concept of purgatory come from? Is it mentioned in the Bible?
Purgatory is presented as a merciful, mercantile-like purification rather than a punishment, a theological idea inferred from Scripture and tradition; it is not directly named in the Bible, but its concept is supported as a cleansing process before entering God's presence.
The Franciscan Jubilee
Q: How should listeners commemorate the Franciscan Jubilee in their own lives?
Listeners should study Francis's life in greater detail, focus on at least one of the five guiding elements, and consider visiting Assisi to gain a fresh perspective, then apply these principles in their own daily lives.
Answering Your Listener Questions
Q: Why is the Apostles' Creed changed to the Nicene Creed?
The creeds evolved as a safeguard against heresy; the Apostles' Creed originated in the second century and the Nicene version was shaped to address expanded doctrinal debate, particularly the divinity of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and to reaffirm the Church's teaching.
Answering Your Listener Questions
Q: Next question: Where did all the water go after Noah's flood?
Scripturally grounded explanation that waters receded over roughly five months and eventually drained back into oceans and ground basins, emphasizing that sacred scripture focuses on faith rather than scientific detail and that the dove returning marked a turning point in the receding waters.
