Dcerninghearts.com presents Inside the Pages, insights from today's most compelling authors.

I'm your host, Chris McGregor, and I am delighted to be joined once again by Dr. Matthew Bunsen,

who is the vice president and editorial director of EWTN News.

For the past 30 years, Dr. Bunsen has been active in the area of Catholic social communications

and education, including writing, editing, and teaching on a variety of topics related

to church history, the papacy, the saints, and Catholic culture.

He is the author or co-author of over 50 books.
