Thanks for listening! Let us know what you think. God bless!
Gina Christian of OSV News. catches you up on the Catholic news of the day for June 5, 2025. In this episode: The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the Catholic Charities Bureau of the Diocese of Superior, Wisconsin in a case affirming the agency's religious identity. Amid the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, scholars at a conference in Rome say the continued profession of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, not just liturgically but as a statement of orthodox Christian belief, means it's still a continuing source of Christian unity. In Russia, religious liberty continues to decline as that nation's use of blasphemy laws silence freedom of expression, even while the overall society itself is not markedly religious. With one of their own now Pope Leo XIV, the Augustinian Order is seeing a surge in interest around religious vocations. In Ireland, three teenage brothers are turning LEGO into a tool for evangelization, creating a five-minute stop-motion animation film called "The Incredible Life of Carlo Acutis."
