Talking about the "things that matter most" on Sept. 27
4:00 - Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell – The Evolution of A Policy
In what's being seen as a legal chipping away at don't ask, don't tell, US District Judge Ronald Leighton ruled Friday that former Air Force Reserve Maj. Margaret Witt, a lesbian military nurse, should be "reinstated at the earliest possible moment." The ruling comes just weeks after a federal judge in California struck down as unconstitutional the 1993 law banning openly gay men and women from serving in the US military. But changing the law through Congressional means hasn’t been so easy. Senate Democrats tried unsuccessfully this week to attach a repeal of don't ask, don't tell to the annual defense spending bill but it was blocked by Senate Republicans. We talk with Dean of Ave Maria Law School Gene Milhizer.
4:20 – Confessions of a Mega-Church Pastor
Tens of thousands of American adults join the Catholic Church every year. Why? What is it that attracts them to Catholicism? In Confessions of a Mega-Church Pastor, Allen Hunt unveils the treasures of Catholicism that many life-long Catholics are simply unaware of. At the same time he demonstrates the genius of Catholicism and encourages us to move beyond taking our faith for granted. With a personal touch that is profound and disarming, Hunt takes his readers on a journey that is sure to change the way we experience our faith. At a time when so many are disillusioned about where the Catholic Church is and where it is going, Allen Hunt brilliantly reminds us that personal holiness is the key to the bigger future God wants to leads us to both as individuals and together as a Church.
5:00 – DUPES: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century
In this startling, intensively researched book, bestselling historian Paul Kengor shines light on a deeply troubling aspect of American history: the prominent role of the “dupe.” From the Bolshevik Revolution through the Cold War and right up to the present, many progressives have unwittingly aided some of America’s most dangerous opponents. Based on never-before-published FBI files, Soviet archives, and other primary sources, Dupes exposes the legions of liberals who have furthered the objectives of America’s adversaries. Kengor shows not only how such dupes contributed to history’s most destructive ideology—Communism, which claimed at least 100 million lives—but also why they are so relevant to today’s politics.
