4:20 – Document Leaks, Arrests, and Intrigue at the Vatican
Pope Benedict is “suffering” but serene, despite the prosecution of his butler for stealing sensitive papal documents and the continuing police hunt to find any accomplices. Paolo Gabriele is still in custody after being charged on Saturday with the “aggravated theft” of confidential Vatican documents found in his apartment. The 46-year-old Italian, a father of three, has worked in the Papal Household under both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. He is one of very few individuals who have daily access to the Pope. While the criminal investigation continues, Fr. Lombardi played down speculation in the Italian media that Vatican police are about to swoop in on a wider network of conspirators, of which Gabriele is only a junior member. Vatican watcher Matthew Bunson is here to discuss this story which seems closer to a spy novel than real life.

4:40 – Exposed: Planned Parenthood Encourages Woman to Get Sex-Selection Abortion
The investigative pro-life group Live Action, which has released videos exposing the abuses at the Planned Parenthood abortion business across the country, has released a new video today showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, Texas encouraging a woman to get a sex-selection abortion. The video shows a Planned Parenthood staffer encouraging the woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled “Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America,” that Live Action says will be exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb. We talk to Lila Rose, founder of Live Action.

5:00 – “For Greater Glory”
What would you pay for the price of freedom? In the exhilarating action epic “For Greater Glory,” an impassioned group of men and women each make the decision to risk it all for family, faith and the very future of their country, as the film’s adventure unfolds against the long-hidden, true story of the 1920s Cristero War,¬ the daring people’s revolt that rocked 20th Century North America. Today we celebrate feast of St. Cristóbal Magallanes and Companions, martyrs of the Cristero war and discuss the film with Kathy Schiffer, who represented Ave Maria Radio at the film junket.
