Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
St. Joseph Cafasso
This 19th-century Italian saint taught at a seminary in Turin, where one of his students—John Bosco—would also become a saint. There, St. Joseph Cafasso worked to counteract the extreme rigorism of the heretical movement known as Jansenism. He was also a popular preacher and ministered to those in prison, a corporal work of mercy.

Ask a Franciscan
Father Don Miller answers questions: How can I resist gossiping? What birth
control methods are accepted by the Church?
Minute Meditation

Portrait of Paul
Was Paul Married?
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, we bring you another “Portrait of Paul” from Father Norman Langenbrunner. Popular Catholic opinion sometimes gives St. Paul a “bad rap” when it comes to his writing about women. This begs the question: Was Paul married?
