Off The Shelf

Susan Muto and I discuss what it takes to live a truly grateful life. In her book Gratefulness: The Habit of a Grace-Filled Life, Susan tells us how to make that happen. We look to our gadget driven world for satisfaction and sometimes it seems we just are not happy with what we have. We need more, more, more stuff! We take a look at how gratitude is a grace from God and and how we can arrive at an attiutude of gratitude and thankfulness.

We take a look at Catholic social doctrine and it's principals. As Richard states in his book, “It is critical for us to accept and understand that each of us has been chosen by God to live our lives as Christians and to serve both Jesus Christ and our fellow man in ways that God has selected us.” Richard practices what he preaches in his own business life as an attorney and with a program he founded that answers the call of Catholic Social Doctrine and that is CaholicDentalPlans.com.

On this episode of Off the Shelf, Phil Lawler and I dive into his book Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis is Misleading His Flock. The book has been receiving considerable press lately mostly because of its subject, the pontificate of Pope Francis. In this genuinely, well thought out book Phil explains why he, like many others, have had concern over what has transpired in the five years since the election of Pope Francis. We take a look at some of the mixed signals and confusion that has arisen from the Pope's various interviews, homilies, and writings as well as what the future may hold under this one-of-a-kind pontificate and it's departure from what the Catholic faithful have become used to in the previous 30 years.
