An apology, a clarification, and a conclusion.

Focusing on the work of Ecumenism, the DVP hosts consider the issue of "Communicatio in Sacris," that is, the act of a Catholic taking part in the worship of non-Catholic Christians, particularly Protestants. The main question to consider: Is it possible for a Catholic to attend Protestant worship services and only participate passively? Here are the articles relevant to the episode. Catholic Answers: https://www.catholic.com/qa/are-catholics-required-to-attend-non-catholic-services-instead-of-mass-for-the-sake-of-ecumenismThe Fr. Thomas Crean O.P. article: http://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/thomas-crean/praying-with-non-catholics.htmFurther Reading:https://onepeterfive.com/worship-non-catholics/https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19641121_unitatis-redintegratio_en.html

The Strobels share their twisting, turning, Divinely Provided-for path to Catholicism with the DVP hosts. Their story stands as a witness to the true need for the parish community to be a true family, as co-heir Children to the Heavenly Father.

Remember, O Christian, the world is thy vessel not thy home.

In the 13th Installment of The Screwtape Series, the DVP hosts consider Lewis's understanding of enjoying pleasures and the good of leisure.

The DVP priests discuss the curious case of the Marriage between Mary and Joseph.
