Olaf's Self-Reliance

In this week's episode, Father Mike and Father John take up the concept of self-reliance, one that has made its way into the Catholic spiritual lexicon but not found in the tradition.

As a male companion to "Kristin's Resentment" (episode #288, May 2017), their hope is to draw out the deeper meaning of self-reliance in Undset's Olav Audunssøn without spoiling the plot!

Carol Egan-Davis

Fr John promotes disunity snd seems to be unaware of differing views within the American Catholic Church. The number of seminarians has been declining for decades. Also, thousands of Catholics have returned to the church because of Pope Francis. The arrogance of the young priests on this podcast, especially Fr. John’s arrogance, is stunning. Fr. John needs to be humbled, and I pray that he will be.
