Welcome to "Week in Religion with Fred Bodimer" on KMOX. This week's religious landscape witnessed pivotal moments globally.
Pope Francis's decision to relieve Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, amid disputes over LGBTQ+ inclusivity sparked attention. Contrasting rallies unfolded: Paris stood against anti-Semitism while Washington D.C. rallied in support of Israel during the Hamas conflict.
The tensions escalated in D.C. with a violent anti-Israel rally leading to the Capitol's lockdown. Meanwhile, preparations for a Broadway musical on Tammy Faye Baker's life and London's Albert Hall hosting Handel's Messiah concert marked significant cultural moments.
