Kresta Comments: Political Power Cannot Accomplish what the Gospel Can

Our chief political responsibility as Christians is to bear witness to the King – and not an earthly king. We have access to a different kind of power than regular politicians. Al discusses.

Christ’s Plan for Priests

Most priests are devout men who have sincerely committed their lives to Christ and His Church, but they are also human beings with faults and failings. Some are cranky and stern, and others can be weak or indifferent. Some grapple with sins of the flesh, and others are controlled by money. We’ll talk with Fr Mitch Pacwa.

Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ is the author most recently of Commentary on the Book of Isaiah: An In-Depth Look at the Gospel of the Old Testament. He’s the founder and president of Ignatius Productions, a host on EWTN television and radio, and the author of more than twenty other books. Fr. Mitch received his B.A. in Philosophy and Theology from the University of Detroit, summa cum laude. He was ordained a Jesuit Catholic priest in 1976 with the Society of Jesus and then continued his studies. He received his Master of Divinity and S.T.B. from the Jesuit School of Theology of Loyola University, magna cum laude. At Vanderbilt University, he received his Master of Arts, Ph.D. in Old Testament. He has taught at the high school, university, and seminary levels and has lectured at hundreds of conferences and churches around the world. Fr, Mitch is fluent in twelve languages and has a unique understanding of the peoples and cultures of the Middle East and is respected for his knowledge on Islam and the Qur'an. He also serves as Senior Fellow of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology and has led thousands of pilgrims to holy sites around the world and has the privilege of being bi-ritual, which means he can also celebrate the Maronite Mass of the Eastern Catholic Church.
