Convo with Kyle: The Church is honoring a few especially well-known saints this week, and on this episode, Bishop talks about the lives of Saint Dominic (feast day: August 8), Saint Lawrence (Feast Day: August 10), and Saint Clare (Feast day: 11). Then it’s on to the Gospel reading for today which tells the story of a Canaanite woman pleading with Jesus to heal her daughter. Bishop reflects upon the woman’s humility and great faith. Listener Questions: - 28:53 - I thoroughly enjoy listening about the history of the Catholic Church in the United States, I would like to know if there are any books available that contain the history, as Bishop explained on the July 4 episode that I could buy or read? - 31:07 - A Protestant friend insisted recently that Jesus said a marriage was dissolved when one of the partners committed adultery, my research took me to the King James Bible, Matthew 19, and in order to find such a passage, however, the New American Bible doesn't say this. Instead, it says "unless the marriage is unlawful...", could you please explain this? - 34:37 - What is the purpose of a Spiritual Director? Should Everyone have one? - 36:55 - If I have a rosary that has not yet been blessed, are my prayers as efficacious if it prayed with the same devotion using a blessed rosary? 38:37 - What process is Mother Angelica in for Sainthood? Do you think that she will be able to become a Saint someday? Are there any known miracles associated with her? - 39:34 - Is it consistent with Catholic teaching to believe that life exists on other planets? and that aliens have visited ours? - 41:51 - Do you have any fears or phobias? ------ RESOURCES: - July 4 episode of Truth in Charity (https://soundcloud.com/askbishop/2018-july-4) - American Catholics: A History of the Roman Catholic Community in the United States, by James J.
