Segment 1 – Intro and News
Segment 2 – You Shall Stand Firm: Preserving the Faith in an Age of Apostasy
“In this watershed book, you will find four fundamental facts of our existence and four ways to experience God’s healing, peace, and mercy. Challenging and enlightening, it exposes the horrors of Communism – the ideology that is visibly engulfing the West – and reveals what should be done about its proponents, including pro-abortion Catholic politicians. Shockingly, Fr. Bill Casey also reveals the truth about Critical Race Theory and its dark objective: to sabotage America’s foundation.” (Originally aired April 21, 2022)
