This is a Pivotal Moment

The obligation to attend Sunday Mass will be reinstituted this Sunday at Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. As we mark our "re-birth" what are we going to do with it?
 
Some reflections on that, as well as a deep dive discussing Pope St. Paul VI, Vatican II, and Humanae Vitae.

John Grosso, Director of Digital Media for the Diocese of Bridgeport joins me to discuss the divisions and fighting we see on social media, particularly Catholic social media. If you frequent Catholic Twitter, you'll want to listen to this episode!
