Due to a technical glitch, we weren't able to get the full episode of last week's Register Radio posted until yesterday morning. The show was recorded live at the Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show/Catholic Writer's Guild/Catholic New Media Conference being held in Arlington, Texas. Here's what you missed.

In the first half of the program Thom Price and Dan Burke spoke with Ignatius Press' marketing director, Anthony Ryan, about the film "Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine," which premiered at the Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show on August 29.

Ryan explained how it was that Ignatius Press came to obtain the distribution rights to the film, and spoke about their...READ MORE

Homosexual advocates have long said that the redefinition of marriage will not lead to polygamous unions. Supporters of marriage between one man and one woman have disagreed. Well, recent efforts both at home and abroad seem to demonstrate that the supporters of traditional marriage are right.

Two recent stories, one from California and the other from Brazil, highlight the slippery slope of so-called same-sex "marriage." Both show that opening the door to homosexual unions and so-called same-sex "marriage," clearly paves the way for other alternative unions tomorrow.

On Monday, the California State Assembly approved legislation SB1476 allowing judges the ability to declare more than...READ MORE

Last night my wife and I ventured out for a rare date - 2 for 1 burritos and the documentary 2016: Obama's America, which, surprisingly, is playing at two movie theaters near our central Minnesota home. To find it near a theater near you, look at this list. The film performed extremely well this weekend and has opened at additional theaters across the country.

Imagine my shock, first of all, to find the theater three-quarters full on a Monday night, with people of all ages. When I asked the theater staff person how the movie has been doing, he replied, "This movie has been doing very well here."

Dinesh D'Souza's cautionary documentary, based on his book "The Roots of Obama's Rage," is...READ MORE

The epic film For Greater Glory opened in theaters this summer and told the largely unknown story of the Mexican Cristero war – the 1920’s fight for religious freedom against the oppressive Mexican government. The movie will be available on DVD from Ignatius Press beginning September 11. Mexican actor Mauricio Kuri portrayed Blessed Jose Sanchez del Rio in the film. He spoke with Register senior writer Tim Drake from his home in Mexico about the film, his role, and acting.

Did you know anything about Blessed Jose Sanchez del Rio prior to playing him?

No, I didn’t know anything about the Cristero war. When I got the script, I was really speechless that I didn’t know about this, about...READ MORE

A few years ago, Ignatius Press began partnering with various European production companies to obtain the licensing rights to distribute European-made films in North America. That partnership has resulted in high-quality made-for-television Italian films such as Claire and Francis, Padre Pio: Between Heaven and Earth, and St. Giuseppe Moscati: Doctor to the Poor being made available on DVD in the US. I spoke today with Anthony Ryan, director of marketing with Ignatius Press, about their latest film and effort - allowing organizations to host sponsored-theatrical screenings of their newest film, Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine. Ignatius had the film professionally edited so...READ MORE

A recent study, "How America Gives" by the Chronicle of Philanthropy reveals that states where religious participation is highest, particularly in the South, give the greatest percentage of their discretionary income to charitable organizations. Conversely, states that are less religious give less.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy based the study on IRS records of people who itemized deductions in 2008, the most recent year statistics were available.

The most generous states were Utah, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina. The least generous were New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Utah residents gave 10.6 percent of their discretionary income to...READ MORE
