The Unchanging Heart of the Priesthood
Fr. Thomas Acklin

As a young attorney, Jack Nelson became interested in a variety of legal issues just beginning to confront Catholic health care institutions.  Now, from the vantage point of thirty years as a law professor and specialist in health care law, Nelson’s Diagnosis Critical provides a sobering look into the future of the American medical system and its impact on Catholics.  Among the concerns which Jack and Doug  discuss in this absorbing and important interview include the ethics of nationwide health care, morally and legally speaking, and  the right of conscientious objection for Catholic medical personnel. more

The Gospel Truth

Benedictine monk, priest, and professor of theology and psychology at St. Vincent College and Seminary, Fr. Thomas Acklin’s message on the priesthood couldn’t be more timely, Doug observes, in view of Benedict XVI’s recent opening of the year of the priests. Among the many opinions offered on the state of the priesthood, The Unchanging Heart of the Priesthood, with Foreword by Fr. Benedict Groeschel, is certainly among the most honest and authentic. more

 
Embracing Dementia
Ellen Edmonds

Ellen Edmonds’ husband suffered from the ravages of dementia the last few years of his life. Ellen joins Doug to share with viewers her experience in rising to the unexpected challenge of losing a loved one, navigating the waters of medical care for Alzheimer’s patients, and resolutely relying on her Catholic faith in the midst of bewilderment and pain. Embracing Dementia:a Call to Love, Doug observes, will be a welcome resource for many. more

If all you know about John XXIII is that he was plump, jolly, Italian, and that it was his idea to call a Second Vatican Council, join author Patricia Treece and Doug as they fill in the rest of the story about this wonderful pontiff of the mid-20th century. Warm, unpretentious, a “stress eater” like many of us, John understood non-Catholics as no pope had before him, and was called ‘the good pope’ even by non-believers. Patricia was inspired to research his life, and Meet John XXIII: Joyful Pope and Father to All will inspire you to follow his holy, humble way to sanctity. more
