MATT FRADD
About this episode

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're bound to be aware of various crisis the Church is facing today. How can the laity navigate these crises? In today's episode, I interview Fr. Gerald Murray and Diane Montagna, authors of the new book "Calming the Storm: Navigating the Crises Facing the Catholic Church and Society," to talk about this very subject.

Fr. Murray, Diane and I discuss: - The German bishops who are pushing progressing agendas, including homosexuality - What's going on with Pope Francis - If it's right to criticize Church leadership - And more!
