Hagia Sophia, Catholic Schools and COVID (July 25)

With the school year only weeks away and with COVID-19 still a concern everywhere, parents across the country are waiting anxiously to find out if their children will be going back to class in person or online. And many Catholic schools are struggling to open their doors at all. This week on Register Radio, we talk to Register contributor Judy Roberts about Catholic schools and the crisis of COVID. And then, Turkey’s magnificent Hagia Sophia — once a cathedral and then. Mosque and then a museum — has been turned back into a mosque. What does this mean for Christian-Muslim dialogue, Christian persecution and the fate of what was once the grandest church in Christendom?

Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Gen-X Bishops

This week on RR, we go from Gen-X Bishops to Gen-Z interns. First, Register Managing Editor Jonathan Liedl tells us about the Gen X bishops who are a growing demographic leading the Church, and then EWTN News summer interns Katie Matt and Gemma Flores join us to share their experiences.

Sigrid Undset, renowned Norwegian author and Catholic convert, is being considered for sainthood in the Catholic Church.

Great Books

Great literature is the focus of Register Radio this week as Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell helps us explore the enduring legacy of the Odyssey by Homer, the opening of the cause of canonization for the writer Sigrid Undset, and the pioneering work of Sherry Waddell through her book Forming Intentional Disciples…And then, Should Exorcists Step Into the Spotlight? That’s the question posed by Register freelancer Jack Figge.
