Episode # 988 - TGIF and The Church

Due to scheduling conflicts, Father Koys is unable to be in studio today and normally he would be on air, but this is a show from last Friday: September 5th, 2014.  Thank you and we apologize for any problems. 

TGIF once again loyal listeners and the gang's all here today for the show and to start off the show, Father Anthony talks about the Church itself today and getting over the negativity in the Church.  He also brings up the notion of talking about women with the Church or within the Church, dealing with many issues and things.  A little off topic, but after the first break, Father Anthony focuses the show on what he wants to talk about at the start, and that is the negativity of the Church, of to be more precise, the idea of Self-Loathing with the Church, bringing up some articles and books he has read or looked at on this subject, as well as being controlled by things, such as our feelings.  Famous figures are brought up here during this discussion and Gerri points out forgiveness and mercy is important with people, especially for the Church, with Father Anthony asking everyone in studio on the show today the question of "What is the importance of the Church?" leading to or around the idea of forgiveness and mercy Gerri pointed out.  The answer that Father Anthony says is to make disciples, but also points out what the Church isn't for those who consider it to be things that it isn't at all and that the World needs the Church, in more ways than one mentioned, with the words, "I'm sorry" involved here.
