Summary
Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer shares his incredible month-long journey in Rome. From attending the general chapter meetings for the Oblates of St. Joseph to an awe-inspiring personal encounter with Pope Francis in the historic Sala Clementina, it was truly unforgettable. We also discussed the mesmerizing art of St. Peter's Basilica and how beauty can be such a powerful tool for evangelization. (00:30)
- Melissa - Our Daughter has had some children using NFP. Now she wants to do artificial contraceptives to prevent kids. How do I talk with her about this? I used to use artificial contraceptives and am not sure if I should tell her that sin of mine from my past. (19:48)
- Ronnie - Some of Pope Francis’ teachings are confusing regarding homosexuality. (29:05)
- Maria - My husband and I were asked to have his brother, who is going through alcohol treatment, to live with us. I was thinking about the golden rule and in the readings that day were about that. Could that be a sign that we are supposed to take in my brother? (40:18)
