Catholic Connection – Sept 22, 2021 – Hour 2

Steve Weidenkopf talks about his new book, “Light From Darkness: Nine Times the Church was in Turmoil, and Came Out Stronger Than Before.” Jim Cavnar is back talking about the important Box of Joy.


Segment 1 – Intro and News


Segment 2 & 3 – Light From Darkness: Nine Times the Church was in Turmoil, and Came Out Stronger Than Before
“In his new book, Light from Darkness, Steve Weidenkopf shows how the Church’s past ages were no less tumultuous than our own. Yet, whether it was decadent hierarchs selling out the Faith for pleasure and power, or hostile princes, heresies, or ideologies (sometimes all three at once) menacing Christendom, the Catholic Church not only persisted during hard times but came through them stronger than before.”

Steve Weidenkopf is a Lecturer in Church History at the Christendom College Graduate School of Theology in Alexandria, Virginia. He has given numerous presentations and seminars on Church History, marriage and family life, human sexuality, and theology throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Segment 4 – Box of Joy Seeks to Bring Joy Amidst Pandemic Suffering

“Box of Joy is a fun, simple way for your parish, school or ministry to help children in developing countries experience the joy of Christmas. Organize a group and we’ll send you everything you need. Fill our boxes with toys, clothing, school supplies and more, then we’ll send them to poor children all over the world!” Jim Cavnar joins us!

Jim Cavnar is the President of Cross Catholic Outreach. Get more information on the Box of Joy here!
