Episode # 634 - We Look at the News & the Feast of St. Mark

Father Anthony, Tony and Cristina and Gerri are on the program today. We talk about Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard who  is doused with water while topless gay activists shout curses and douse him with water. Father Anthony talks about an article form the National Catholic Register about the incredible raft of bad news and what we can do to pull ourselves out of the depression that often ensues. There are 10 things we can do: 1. Turn off the news from whatever source and remove yourself from the latest dire consequences, 2. Clean something or fix something. 3. Go outside, talk a walk, get some fresh air, 4. Say yes to the next person who askes you something, 5. Read out loud, 6. Plan something, 7. Write a letter, 8. Take the long view, 9. Pray, 10. Eat properly. We talk about the latest from Pope Francis and notes that the Church is not an NGO (a non-government organization), but a love story. We talk about Mark and his gospel, to convey the suffering Jesus and his relationship to Peter.
