277 Jennifer Allmon: Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops

In this episode of RED-C Roundup, host Thaddeus Romansky visited with Jennifer Allmon, Executive Director of the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops (TCCB).  Jennifer and Thaddeus discussed the history and purpose of the TCCB and she shared some personal information about her family and Faith background, as well as her career path to the TCCB.  Next, they spoke about some current topics of interest to the TCCB, specifically: their efforts to help the Catholic Church in Texas recover from abuse scandals and to protect the vulnerable; the upcoming vote on the parental choice bill and education; the life issues (abortion, euthanasia, IVF, surrogate motherhood); immigration (the Catholic witness and teaching which challenges both political perspectives); and marriage and family (marriage between one woman and one man; children having a right to their mother and father; developing a vocabulary and argument to convince non-Catholics of good will).  Tune in for an engaging and lively conversation on many critical issues of our time!
