Episode# 5686 - Father Koys On The Works Of Justification

Father Koys is back with us loyal listeners and today he's ready to wrinkle your brains as usual.  Mainly, his focus is on a dilemma that has been around for a very long time and that is, The Protestant Position on the Works of Justification.  To examine this age old dilemma, he looks at the works vs. the faith area and Father Koys turns to various works and sources from numerous people within the church, as well as to look at other interpretations on this subject.

The Two Tony’s are here and back loyal listeners.  Father Anthony tells Tony, as well as all of you, how his visit in Florida last week went with visiting his family.  It was a good time, but the damage from Hurricane Elsa could be seen and he describes what he saw.  The main topic of discussion for the Two Tony’s is on what Pope Francis has said and talked about regarding the Latin Mass.  The Two Tony’s discuss its importance, not only as a mass, but to people and its significance.

Episode # 5682 - The Words Of The Founding Fathers

Due to Father Anthony being in Rochester and returning at the end of the week, this is a re-air from July 1st.  Thank you.

The Two Tony’s are back and they are excited on this beautiful day in Chicago.  After the opening prayer, the Two Tony’s discuss how things are getting ready for the 4^th of July and because of so many funerals this week, Father Anthony stresses the importance of faith in God, as well as how life continues after we pass and await the final journey, which he once again uses The Lord of the Rings to compare to that.  They also take a look back into history, at the words of our Founding Fathers due to Independence Day this Sunday.    

Episode# 5681 - Father Koys On Branding Within The Church

Father Koys is here once again loyal listeners and he's very excited today.  His discussion this time brings to mind the idea and concept of branding, only not as we usually see it, that is in clothes, companies, food services, and other things that people love or hate, but this particular form of branding Father Koys discusses is within the church and looks at significant aspects of our faith and getting on the same page as the church.  To help examine this, Father Koys talks about the Pope John Paul II Institute on Marriage and the Family and how changes made by Pope Francis leads to problems with morals and ethics. 

Episode # 5680 - Has The Past Year Changed Your Life?

Due to Father Anthony being in Rochester this week, this is a re-air of one of our most popular shows, from June 8th.  Thank you.

Tuesday with the Two Tony’s and they have much to discuss.  For one thing, the kindergarteners graduated at the school this morning and much to get ready for that.  Father Anthony also has a gift for Tony today on the show, a letter from Camille, specifically to Tony, talking about what they can use on the program, as well as understanding of the loss of a pet and other things.  But the real gift is a book titled: I Will Wait For You In Heaven.  After the first break, Father Anthony asks Tony, as well as all of our loyal listeners if this past year has changed you psychologically and faith, in terms of the Pandemic, the Lockdown, and other things affected by the Pandemic.  This in turn raises key points on trust, confusion, concern, and worry.
