June 24, 2020 - Overcoming Racism

In the wake of the tragic killing of George Floyd and others, Bishop talks about the social evil of racism in this episode…..including Church teaching and how his time as pastor of an inner-city parish in Harrisburg, PA gave him first-hand experience with practical ways to unite cultures. Then it’s on to two recent Supreme Court decisions…one that re-defined sex and the other on DACA. The show wraps up with St. John the Baptist…whose birthday we celebrate today.
