Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:

It was the sacred scripture which brought St. Hilary to the faith as an adult. Born into a fourth-century French family, he was steeped in the pagan culture of Greece and Rome. His biblical studies changed the course of his life.

During this week in which Jews celebrate Passover, we talk to Roy Schoeman, born a Jew and now a Catholic. He discusses this feast and how he views and lives out his Jewish heritage along with his Catholic faith.

Franciscan Father Dan Kroger responds to e-mailed questions: Should my husband and I renew our marriage vows now that he has become Catholic? May my rosary group recite our prayers aloud during adoration of the Blessed Sacrament?

This program’s Minute Meditation is from Chosen and Cherished: Biblical Wisdom For Your Marriage by Kimberly Hahn.

Often, one of the honest points of difference between Catholics and other Christians is the relationship of the Bible to the Church. The Catechism tells us to “read the scripture within ‘the living tradition of the whole Church.‘” How do we understand that directive? What is the relationship of the Church to the sacred scriptures? Jesuit Father Daniel Harrington offers answers.

Rabbi Kenneth Kantor, director of the Rabbinical School at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, discusses what Catholics should know about Passover—for Jesus and his disciples, for the Jewish people today and for us as a Catholic faith community. Rabbi Kantor has authored many books and holds a doctorate in Divinity from Hebrew Union.
