Carolina Catholic honors Pope Benedict XVI

For our first show in June, Carolina Catholic will honor the memory of our beloved Pope Benedict XVI as he is remembered by several who knew him or met him including these guests: Father Joseph Fessio, SJ, founder of Ignatius Press, who got his doctorate under the tutelage of then theologian and professor, Father Joseph Ratzinger; John Sonnen, Catholic pilgrimage guide, who met Pope Benedict eight times when John lived in Rome; St. Stan's parishioner, Ludi Lipari, who on a 2006 pilgrimage with St. Mary's with her husband, Charlie, had a special encounter with Pope Benedict; and Amanda Gandolf, St. Therese parishioner, who met him with her husband and her children. In 2023, Ignatius Press released a photo album called, Benedict XVI: Servant of Love, in honor of Pope Benedict. Photos of those who saw Pope Benedict in person will be on our webpage.

Carolina Catholic chats with Catholic pilgrimage guide extraordinaire, John Sonnen

For our second show in May, Carolina Catholic will get you ready to take a Catholic pilgrimage! The world has reopened to us, and a Catholic pilgrimage is the best way to travel while deepening our faith. Our guest, John Sonnen, has been in the Catholic pilgrimage business since 2004, and he is now presenting pilgrimages for both St. Charles Pilgrimages and Regina Magazine and its pilgrimages. In 2010, Judi Paparozzi met John Sonnen who gave her group the most phenomenal and informative tour on Rome ever. The pilgrimages John is offering include the Holy Land, Italy, Poland, France, Ireland, and other destinations. A priest is on every tour, and there is daily Mass as well. If you have ever dreamed of taking a pilgrimage, now is the time!

May's Teaching Moment

In the Third Commandment, God told us that we must keep holy the Sabbath. The Apostles fixed the Sabbath on Sunday, the first day of the week as well as the day great mysteries of our faith took place particularly the Resurrection. God gave this commandment because of original sin; due to their sin, Adam and Eve were sentenced by God to labor for their daily bread, but after six days, God gave them a day of rest. From the beginning of the world, that day of rest was set apart to praise God and offer Him gifts. As we read in Exodus 20:11, “For in six days, the Lord made Heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore, the Lord blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.” We are obligated to keep these days holy. How do we do this? We must abstain on that day from all unnecessary work, we must attend Mass, and we can read the word of God and guard ourselves from all sin. In doing so, we will make ourselves pleasing to God.
