The Conscience Project and the National Catholic Register have teamed up on Religious Freedom Matters – a podcast that offers a voice for religious believers in defense of liberty. The season 1 (our pilot series) delved into the challenges faithful Americans face from a dominant cultural force that has unmoored many in society from moral and religious roots.  Our newest podcasts in season 2 focus on education and the ways religious freedom in America is under attack in the very places that should be upholding it – our schools and universities.

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Next week, the Bishops of the United States will meet in Orlando and consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Bishop Kevin Rhoades to explain the importance of the consecration and how we can all take part and then Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell tells us about the remarkable phenomenon of diocesan priests living in community.
