MP 030 : Pope Francis, Controversy, and the Family




Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family show

Summary: “Where there is a family with love, that family is capable of warming the heart of a whole city with its witness of love.”<br> – Pope Francis<br> Our Holy Father has a pastor’s heart, but often his quotes become controversial. He speaks directly to families, those suffering, and to those in power in a frank, honest fashion. With the Holy Father coming to the United States and the upcoming Synod on the Family, we are taking time in this podcast to discuss his words, some of his challenging comments, and why some of the things he says are taken in a negative light. We all have a responsibility to prayerfully reflect on his words with the knowledge that they are spoken by the Vicar of Christ. We welcome you to listen to our thoughts and share your opinions with us.<br> Show Links<br> <br> * Live Stream of <a href="http://www.worldmeeting2015.org/category/world-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">World Meeting of Families and Papal Visit</a><br> * <a href="http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/marriage-and-family/2014-2015-synods-of-bishops-on-the-family.cfm#prayer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prayer for the Synod on the Family</a><br> * <a href="http://amzn.to/1FWqdCt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Love is our Mission: The Family Fully Alive</a><br> <br>
