Lebanon Christians in the Crossfire/ Lumen Gentium at 60

The Catholic liturgical year draws to a close this weekend with the Feast of Christ the King, then Advent begins. We look at the Register’s Advent and Christmas guides to prepare for the season. Then, we turn to the hopes of ceasefire in Lebanon. With EWTN News contributing editor Alberto Fernandez, we get a glimpse of the conflict’s effects on Christians. And finally, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Second Vatican Council’s Lumen Gentium with Opus Dei priest Father Joseph Thomas.

Register contributor and Middle East expert Ambassador Fernandez joins us this week on Register Radio. And then, Faith and Reason are not – and cannot – be in conflict with each other. Bishop Earl Fernandez of Columbus, Ohio, tells us about efforts to help young people see the importance of that relationship.
