4:20 – The Case of Magdi Allam: What Does it Mean to “Leave the Church?”
Magdi Allam, “a prominent Muslim-born journalist baptized by Pope Benedict XVI” has now blogged about “leaving the Church because it is too ‘weak with Islam.’” Canon lawyer Ed Peters says he doesn’t know why some folks are so quick to assume that (a) Allam was not ‘really’ a Catholic, or (b) he was not adequately catechized, or (c) Allam’s abandonment of the Faith must be an embarrassment to Abp. Fisichella who shepherded Allam into the Church. We talk to Ed about what it means to “leave the Church.”

5:20 – Pope Francis, Holy Thursday and the Washing of Feet

Now he has done so as Pope, as well as washing the feet of non-Christains. It has caused much discussion and analysis of the Holy Thursday ceremony. Jimmy Akin offers some thoughts on Pope Francis's decision and what it means.
