Christmas bells and whistles

The music on yesterday’s show was from two of the Passionist Community’s CDs:

“Here in the Heart of the Lord” (instrumentals)

and

“Every Knee Shall Bend: Music for Advent and Christmas”

(The music on the previous show was from the above two and one more, “Between Heaven and Earth.”)

These CDs and others are available as thank-you gifts for pledging $25 or more to WESU-FM. Just go to http:wesufm.org/pledge. And on behalf of the station which makes Reasonably Catholic possible, thanks!

Here’s the link to the LA Times story, mentioned yesterday, about the young man in Ohio who’s been refused confirmation for supporting same-sex marriage.

And finally, a picture of my Aunt Rosina. God rest her soul.

Put your Catholic Guilt to Good Use: Pledge a gift to WESU!

Listen to the episode

Mark Silk, director of Trinity College’s Center for Religion in Public Life:

“The last time we talked, I said if you tell me how the Catholics voted, I’ll tell you who was elected president.”

Was he right?

Prof. Silver returns to Reasonably Catholic to analyze the election results.

Let’s show WESU-FM some love! What other radio station would say yes to putting a progressive Catholic show on the radio — during drive time!? WESU’s driving mission has always been to give air time to views not heard anywhere else! Please be as generous as you can during the station’s winter/holiday pledge drive. Call 860-685-7700 or download a pledge form at wesufm.org.

For a pledge of $25, we’ll send you any of these three premiums. Special thanks to the Holy Family Passionist Community, Today’s American Catholic, and Rosemary Radford Ruether for generously donating them to the cause!

WESU bumper stickers, long-sleeved and short-sleeved t-shirts and hoodies are also available, as are music CDs and a DVD of the documentary film Heist: Who Stole the American Dream?.

Thanks for doing your part to keep WESU going!
