Catholic Spotlight

In this interview, Tajci, aka Tatiana Cameron, tells her amazing story about becoming a pop star in Europe, living the life of the rich and famous, and giving it all up to come to America and find meaning in her life. At age 19, she represented Yugoslavia in the EuroSong contest (a European precursor to American Idol) and was propelled to star status with her performance of Hajde da Ludujemo.  For 2 years, she lived the rich life, but felt plagued by her stardom and her inability to walk out the door without bodyguards and paparazzi.  At age 21, she gave away all but a few hundred dollars of her money and headed to America where she could be anonymous again.  She spent several years working and going to school, and eventually started touring again delivering the message of Christ to her concert goers.

In this interview, Roberta Gilbert explains how an understanding of Bowen Theory has helped ministers across the country become more effective in managing their ministries and family lives.  Roberta tells the basics of what Bowen Theory is and why it is so effective in improving relationships.  She tells about how when she started using Bowen Theory in her private practice, she saw the 95% divorce rate in clients take an astounding nosedive to 5% or less.  Her efforts became so effective that a large minister association came to her and asked her to develop a ministry training program to help them deal better with their congregations.  Listen in and find out what Bowen Theory has to offer not just pastors, but everyone who wants to improve their family and social group interactions.

In this interview, Steve Kellmeyer discusses the history of Catholic Indulgences and why most people have a mistaken understanding of what indulgences are and what they do.  He talks historically about what Martin Luther’s real beef with indulgences was and how sale of indulgences had been put to rest long before Luther came around to complain.  He talks about the differences between Pleanry and Partial Indulgences and why they are still necessary in a proper understanding of the Catholic Church. He explains how to receive an indulgence properly, and lists some of the ways that anyone can receive the graces of indulgences today and throughout their lives.

In this interview, Fr. Peter Mitchell talks about his new book, John Paul II - We Love You.  He shares about his experience of being in Rome during the death of Pope John Paul II, and how his chronicles of the events of those days (originally in email) were transformed into a large portion of this book.  He talks vividly about the day before JPII died, the emotions at the prayer vigel, and the general feelings of those in Rome during those historical days.  He recounts his part in the funeral procession, and the stories of the 2 million pilgrims who decended on Rome.  He also tells about the absolute joy in Rome at the announcement of Pope Benedict XVI.  Finally, he share stories from many of the youth in the JPII generation who grew up in their faith as a result of World Youth Days and other influences of JPII.
