MY SHOW “FREE EXPRESSION”
COVERS TOPICS THAT MATTER
I begin each episode of my radio show, “Free Expression,” by explaining…
“This program is all about conveying the Christian message — from a Catholic point of view — and defending the liberty which makes it possible to do that.”
A show that merely explained the mechanics of communicating would have limited appeal. So I interpret communication broadly, touching on a wide variety of topics addressed in the many messages with which we’re bombarded these days. And I try to demonstrate their importance to our lives as people of faith.
The “Catholic” point of view is mine, of course. Any topic is necessarily approached from a particular perspective.
And in the process of addressing such diverse subject matter, I’m trying to defend the liberty inherent in the show’s title, “Free Expression.” Sometimes I offer my defense explicitly, sometimes merely by exploring an issue that might be controversial or out of political favor.
In all of this, it’s content that matters.
Truth.
Which, after all, is the substance of the Christian message.
I hope this doesn’t sound too highfalutin’. The show is really quite down-to-earth. I discuss important things with intelligent people, and try to offer useful insight and practical information.
