Faith, Register Stories and the Super Bowl

More 'Seize the Day'

After giving Gus such grief about the “insufferable hour,” “Seize the Day” shifted my radio time to the less-sufferable hour of 8am EST.

On Feb. 4 I spoke about my conversion from Lutheran to Catholic, and provided a very brief thumbnail version of my journey of faith. We also talked about the upcoming Super Bowl and a faithful counterpart, “Faith Bowl III,” a program featuring prominent baseball players talking about their Catholic faith that’s airing on EWTN on Super Bowl Sunday. Find our coverage here.


I also spoke about two recent stories I wrote for the National Catholic Register. One takes a look at how the apostolic constitution allowing Anglicans to come into the Catholic Church might play out in the U.S. The other story takes a look at a recent federal study that demonstrates an increased risk of breast cancer by women who take oral contraceptives, particularly those who begin taking the pill at young ages.


Finally, I gave Gus my Super Bowl prediction. To find out who I chose, you’ll have to listen to the broadcast.

Tim, I’m glad to find you here so I can thank you for your book, “There We Stood, Here We Stand” that literally pushed me over the edge . . . into the Catholic Church about 9 years ago. I was raised solidly Lutheran (LCMS)and had spent most of my adult life working for the LCMS. My first step toward the Catholic Church came by reading Robert Sungensis’ book, “Not Be Faith Alone” and I walked over the threshold after reading yours. So, here’s a great big, THANK YOU!
