- Religie en spiritualiteit
This series is intended to reach out to Christians searching for new and creative ways to live their faith. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for something more than Sunday Mass or whether you've left the institutional church all together. We welcome you if you are appalled with the clerical sex abuse crisis, or perhaps feeling excluded due to being divorced and remarried, maybe a young adult who feels your life experiences in today's world are not being addressed, or you're simply seeking a more personal community.

Interview with Sr. Simone Campbell regarding voting as a Catholic Christian
So many Catholics have been taught that voting is a single-issue responsibility. But Pope Francis has advised voters not to ignore injustice or act as though one issue is more important than others. Pope Francis makes it clear: abortion is not the only issue that matters in choosing a candidate. Equally sacred, he says, are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned and the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and elderly exposed to covert euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new forms of slavery, and every form of rejection. After listening to this interview, you are encouraged to check out the Catholic Christian voting scorecard: https://networkadvocates.org/2020election/scorecard/

Interview with Sr. Simone Campbell, executive director of the Catholic social justice group NETWORK
In this episode, Sister discusses the coming 2020 presidential election. She points out the similarity of the healthcare plans proposed by the various candidates and how it is primarily cost that distinguishes them from one another. Understanding this will hopefully unite Democrats behind Joe Biden, the likely nominee for the Democratic party. She also addressed how Catholic Christians learn to make "prudential judgments" about applying the church's teaching to politics? it is not up to church hierarchy to tell Christians how to vote. With well-formed consciences, it is up to each of us to make that determination for ourselves as to the moral good of our country. Sister shares the need for us all to be multi-issue voters focused on the common good for all.

Interview with Virginia Saldanha about the issue of women in the church today
Virginia has worked professionally her whole life for the cause of women in the Church. In this interview, representing Voices of Faith, she invites all of us to participate in the March 8, 2020 Int'l Women's Day to stand in solidarity with women and the need for women to be treated with dignity and recognized for their significant contributions to the Church. It is well beyond time for women to be allowed to participate equally with men as ministers in the Church.

Interview with Reverend Tony Flannery
Fr. Tony Flannery, from Ireland, is a religious writer and Roman Catholic Redemptorist priest who was suspended by the Vatican in 2012. He was told by the Vatican that he would be allowed to return to ministry only if he agreed to write, sign and publish a statement agreeing, among other things, that women should never be ordained as priests and that he would adhere to church orthodoxy on matters like contraception and homosexuality. Our discussion centers around the future of the Church.
