Talking about the "things that matter
most" on October 18
4:00 – Writing from Left to Right:
My Journey from Liberal to Conservative
Engagingly, writing as if to
old friends and foes, in his memoir,
Writing from Left to Right:
My Journey from Liberal to Conservative, Michael
Novak shows how Providence (not deliberate choice) placed him in the
middle of many crucial events of his time: a month in wartime Vietnam, the
student riots of the 1960s, the Reagan revolution, the collapse of the Berlin
Wall, Bill Clinton's welfare reform, and the struggles for human rights in Iraq
and Afghanistan. He also spent fascinating days, sometimes longer, with
inspiring leaders like Sargent Shriver, Bobby Kennedy, George McGovern, Jack
Kemp, Václav Havel, President Reagan, Lady Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II, who
helped shape—and reshape—his political views. Yet through it all his focus on
helping the poor and defending universal human rights remained constant; he
gradually came to see building small businesses and envy-free democracies as
the only realistic way to build free societies. Without protections for
liberties of conscience and economic creativity, democracies will fail. Free
societies need three liberties in one: economic liberty, political liberty, and
liberty of spirit. Michael tells us his story.
5:00 - Making Sense of Mary
The world is full of nonsense when it
comes to the Blessed Virgin Mary from simple confusion and ignorance to
disrespect and blasphemy. Gary Michuta
has done us a great service by blowing away the fog and shining the light of
clarity on a matter so important to the story of God's salvation. Drawing from
Scripture, Sacred Tradition, Councils and the Fathers of the Church, Gary helps
scholars and beginners alike to understand the ABC's of the person and role of
Mary. Gary joins us today.
