Carolina Catholic chats with Sophia Institute Press' author, Bishop Athanasius Schneider and editor Michael Lichens

For our second July show, we have the incredible privilege to speak with Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, about his newest book, Salve Regina: A Rosary Crusade to Plead for Holy Popes. In this Rosary Crusade that he began in 2024, His Excellency asks that when we pray, we ask God to grant us holy popes, now and in the future, who preserve, strengthen, and defend the Catholic faith. His Excellency also shared his thoughts about the papacy of Pope Leo XIV. In addition, we speak to Michael Lichens about the last book written by Father Gabriele Amorth, God Most Powerful: An Exorcist's Testament to God's Victory Over the Devil, a book-length interview of Father Amorth in which he tells us how to keep the devil far away from us.

Carolina Catholic learns about Pope Leo XIV from EWTN's Vice President, Dr. Matthew Bunson in his book, Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope

For our first show in July, we get the incredible opportunity to chat about the first biography in English on our new pope called Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope! Written in the two weeks between Pope Leo's election on May 8th and its publication, this amazingly detailed biography is a joy to read and contains so much information about the man just elected our 267th pontiff. In this book that Dr. Bunson calls a "portrait," we learn about the pope's childhood in the suburb of Chicago, his beautiful family and its history, his lifelong love of the priesthood, his years in Rome and Peru, and his Augustinian spirituality. From stories of him riding donkeys or horses to meet with his flock, to the reasons he took the name, Leo, to the meaning of his beautiful Papal Motto, In Illo unum uno (In the One, we are one), this book gives us a compelling narrative of Pope Leo's life, beliefs, and journey to the papacy.  Dr. Bunson is well-known as a papal authority having written award winning books on the papacy, the history of our Church, and the saints.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of July. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.

Carolina Catholic chats with Catholic author, Kevin Wells, about his newest book, Coached by the Curè: Lessons in Shepherding with St. John Vianney

For our second show in June, we chat with Kevin Wells who writes as the "tongue of St. John Vianney," the patron saint of parish priests, in his book, Coached by the Curè. In this book, the Curè urges both priests and parents to follow the example of his example to bring lost souls back from modern ideologies, indifference, and confusion. This book serves as a powerful guide for those who are eager to help others return to the light and be willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of even a single soul. Saint John Vianney, as pastor, sacrificed his life for sinners with his humility, fortitude to overcome Satan’s relentless assaults, Eucharistic love, devotion to Mary, courage, prayer, and commitment to penance. In Kevin's book, we are guided to do the same as parents and grandparents.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the third and fourth weekends of June.
