Hello faithful listeners! Sexual
abuse in the church is a serious issue which continues to persist. There are no
easy resolutions. Even so, it seems as
if the church is slow to satisfactorily work towards ending these despicable
crimes, slow in punishing those who perpetrate them, and also in preventing
them from happening in the future. This
month’s film, Calvary, shines a light
into the dark heart of this problem. While
this movie focuses on a negative event that the Catholic Church is dealing with
right now, our TV Corner looks at the positive aspects of a prominent Catholic
family on the CBS procedural show “Blue Bloods”
Next month, we look at the film we
told you not to watch, Left Behind (2014)
starring Nicholas Cage. And in TV Corner we will examine the new Amazon
series “Hand of God.” After that, we are going to close out the year with a
three episode series covering the religious and mythological aspects of The Star Wars Saga, culminating with a
review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It
will be our Star Wars trilogy, if you will.
Finally, a quick note about the
sporadic nature of our podcast in the last year. Mike and I had various health issues and
family tragedies hinder us; I (Robert) had to have eye surgery to correct a
detached retina this summer. We are both
feeling fit and eager to get back on schedule and will endeavor to stay on
target going into 2016. Blessings!
