Carolina Catholic and friends react to the Dobbs' decision which overturned Roe v. Wade

For our second August show, Judi Paparozzi and Tara Lewis talk to local pro-lifers, including the Knights of Columbus, about how we as Catholics should react to the Dobbs' decision, now that it has been released reversing Roe v. Wade, with the realization that many states around NC will be abortion free; this concerns many of us who fight for the rights of the unborn, as we may soon see an increase in the number of women coming from other states to have abortions here in Wilmington. We as Catholics believe we must work to help women in crisis pregnancies including helping them long after the baby is born, and it is now more important than ever to vote pro-life fighting for the rights of all children, born and unborn, and assisting moms in crisis pregnancies. Catholics must show the world that we love both the mom and the child.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the second two weekends of August.  You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab.  Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.

August's Teaching Moment

Many Catholics seem to be unaware of the fact that talking poorly about someone, namely, the sin of detraction, violates the Eighth Commandment. What is this sin? Detraction is the sin of revealing another person's real faults to a third person without a valid reason, thereby lessening the reputation of that person. The seriousness of the sin of detraction depends upon the gravity of the injury done to the other party. The sin can be either venial or mortal, depending on the circumstances. The Catechism of the Catholic Church notes in paragraph 2477 that, "Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury." What is in our minds is eventually uttered by our tongues. The tongue is a small member of the body, but it possesses great power — either for good or for evil.

TAN Academy offers programs from kindergarten through high school.
