Carolina Catholic learns about the book:
From the Depths of Our Heart:
Priesthood, Celibacy, and the Crisis in the Catholic Church

For our second show in February, we learn about the first book Pope Emeritus Benedict has co-written since stepping down in 2013, with his co-author, Cardinal Robert Sarah. This book, From the Depths of Our Heart: Priesthood, Celibacy, and the Crisis in the Catholic Church, will be released on February 20 in English by Ignatius Press. In this show, we speak with the founder of Ignatius Press, Father Joseph Fessio, SJ, a personal friend of Pope Emeritus Benedict, Mark Brumley who is the book's publisher, and Edward Pentin, the Rome correspondent for the National Catholic Register. We learn about how these two theologians address the spiritual challenges faced by priests today including struggles of celibacy. They point to deeper conversion to Jesus Christ as the key to faithful and fruitful priestly ministry and church reform. 

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's four stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM in Wilmington and 100.7 FM in Southport the third and fourth weekends of February, Saturdays at 11 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m.
