This week’s episode:
“Blessed are They”: St Mary of Cerevellon
“Among Women” Guest: Angela Franks, PhD
This week we look at the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraception in detail with a moral theologian, Angela Franks, PhD. Dr Franks is a wife, mother,
author, and professor at the Theological Institute of the New Evangelization at St John’s Seminary in the Archdiocese of Boston. Dr Franks’ expertise and advice on this important subject is both pastoral and consoling. Her teaching is grounded in the truth that God really does want us to be happy, and that the moral life is always possible for us — with God’s grace!
I’ll also be looking at the life of St Mary of Cerevellon, a 13th century native of Barcelona, Spain and her ministry among slaves and others, earning her the nickname, “Mary of Help.”
