Catholic Patriotism - The Inner Life - July, 02 2026

Father Peter Pomposello joins to discuss Catholic patriotism.   Theresa - I've designed a crystal red, white and blue rosary. How do I go about giving this to our military veterans?   Nick - We have to distinguish ourselves as Catholics before we're Americans. God comes first. Everything belongs to God. Look at the precepts of church.   Break 1   More comments on Catholic patriotism   Walter - It goes straight to the gospel. In John, he says the light of God is the life of man. God is guaranteed to give light. Evangelizing. It takes faith.   Break 2   Dave - Patriotism and the Convention of State. We the people would propose amendments to the constitution. This has never been used. Educating people about this and getting involved by petitioning state legislators is essential. I think this is part of the Catholic cause.   Tony - I'm a retired engineer who worked on radar and missile systems. I have had my doubts because I didn't want to work on weapons that kill. Glad to be part of it and in service to our country.
