Controversy Continues in the Church (01/05/2019)

The new year has just begun, and controversy continues in the Church. The Vatican loses its two key spokespeople, and a new letter reveals the depth of the challenges within the Church over holding bishops accountable in the clergy sexual abuse crisis. This week on Register Radio we talk to Register Rome correspondent Edward Pentin. And then, looking back at 2018, was there a way that good could come out of such a terrible year? We hear from Dr. Janet Smith.

Palestinian Christians celebrate Easter Sunday Mass at Holy Family Church in Gaza City on March 31, amid the ongoing battles Israel and the Hamas militant group.

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
