MercyMe's Legacy. No Team Canada Chaplain. Bill C-260 Tabled. St. Mary's Kingston Restoration.

In this episode, host Mickey Conlon is joined by correspondent Luke Mandato and associate editor Quinton Amundson in an episode brought to you by the digital edition of The Catholic Register. The show opens with MercyMe’s iconic five-time platinum hit “I Can Only Imagine,” as Amundson shares his conversation with lead singer Bart Millard about the song’s enduring spiritual impact and lasting legacy. After the team reflects on the devoted following of Christian music, the discussion turns to the Winter Olympics in Italy, where Mandato reports on the surprising absence of a chaplain accompanying Team Canada this year, exploring what this means for the spiritual support of our athletes amid high-stakes competition. In the political sphere, the Registered team discusses Mandato's coverage of Conservative MP Garnett Genuis's new private member’s bill aimed at strengthening safeguards in the ongoing MAiD debate. Finally, the episode heads east to the Archdiocese of Kingston, which is marking its 200th anniversary with major renovations to St. Mary’s Cathedral. Mandato reveals what historic discoveries and beautiful renovations have been uncovered during the work. Music on this episode of Registered courtesy of MercyMe. Read these related stories from catholicregister.org:New bill targets MAiD coercion | The Catholic Register - Conservative MP Garnett Genuis tabled Bill C-260 today, a new piece of legislation that would prevent people in positions of authority from initiating conversations about medical assistance in dying (MAiD) with individuals who haven't requested it.Chaplains won't accompany Canada's Olympians | The Catholic Register - As the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics officially kicks off today, Canada's Olympians enter the games without a designated chaplain on its mission team.MercyMe hit song a lifetime in the making - Five-times platinum hit the best-selling Christian song of all timeAbout the Hosts:Mickey Conlon: Is the Editor of The Catholic Register and has been a reporter and columnist for the Register.Luke Mandato: Is a reporter for The Catholic Register.Quinton Amundson: Quinton is Associate Editor at The Catholic Register.
