George Cardinal Pell (w/ his personal friend Tess Livingstone) 59:33

4 days ago59:33

59:33

George Cardinal Pell was a faithful, formidable, and fearless prince of the Church who lived a remarkable life… as a seminarian in Rome during Vatican II, as a reformer of Australia’s seminaries, in his years in China (in disguise!), at the Secretariat of the Economy (where he uncovered 1billion euros off the books), and the years spent wrongfully imprisoned before his acquittal and vindication… Tess Livingstone has written a wonderful biography of the rugged and resilient Australian, and she joins Bishop Caggiano to talk about Cardinal Pell (who Bishop also knew!)… I really enjoyed listening to this conversation and learning about His Eminence, who passed away just over two years ago. Also, please allow us to highlight two important (and fun) events coming soon to our area: 1) Mark Schultz concert at Fairfield University on Fri, March 14th to benefit Malta House and 2) March for Life in Hartford on Wed, March 19th LINKS Email List: https://www.veritascatholic.com/ Tess's Book: https://ignatius.com/george-cardinal-pell-gcpbh/ Malta House Event: https://www.maltahouse.org/event/2025-mark-schultz-concert-to-benefit-malta-house CT March: https://marchforlife.org/connecticut/…

What Happens at Mass, with Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, OSB 57:49

11 days ago57:49

57:49

Sacrosanctum Concilium says "the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows"... Abbott Jeremy Driscoll, OSB, literally wrote the book on what happens at Mass , and the more we can understand the Mass... the better and more actively we all can worship. Father Abbott also serves as a member of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, having first been appointed by John Paul II, and then renewed by Benedict XVI and then Francis. This is an excellent discussion which just scratches the surface, but Bishop Caggiano asks Father Abbott questions like: What is monastic life like? What is liturgy? What should the homily do? And how should music be during Mass? I'm obviously neither a bishop nor a liturgical expert, but it seems like a few simple elements would really elevate our worship at Mass... distinct periods of silence, use of chant & polyphony, some prayers in Latin, lots of incense, communion at the altar rail, and the priest facing ad orientam...…

On Saturday, April 12th, Kitty Cleveland is coming to St Matthew Parish to help present a conference for women of all ages and stages to refresh their hearts. The theme, inspired by John 4:10 & John 7:37-39 is "A Spiritual Spa", an invitation to be renewed and refreshed in the Living Waters. Kitty joins Bishop Caggiano on Let Me Be Frank to talk about her life as a singer & songwriter, her Broadway dreams giving way to the Lord, and how the Divine Mercy carried her through her life – even when she didn’t realize at the time. This was a fantastic conversation, and the women’s conference promises to be a wonderful event!

Life, for young adults these days, is full of unique challenges that previous generations didn’t have to navigate. To help, Anna Moreland has co-authored The Young Adult Playbook , drawing on her years of experience teaching college students at Villanova University and her background in theology. Undergraduates, she says, are “overprepared for academics yet underprepared for questions like ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who do I want to become?’”. She’s our guest this week on Let Me Be Frank , as she talks to Bishop Caggiano about guiding young people through work, leisure, and love. LINKS Veritas Email List: https://www.veritascatholic.com/…

Feast Days, Our Lady of Lourdes, and Suffering, 55:37

55:37

It’s just Bishop Caggiano and me this week on Let Me Be Frank , and we’re talking about… well, stuff. There are a few feast days on Bishop’s mind this month: the Presentation of the Lord & Candlemas, Our Lady of Lourdes, and the Chair of St Peter. Our Lady of Lourdes relates to World Day of the Sick, and Bishop Caggiano points out that both days remind us that this life is not going to be easy. On the topic of suffering, may I humbly present to you this short video on suffering we (Veritas) released last year? I’ll also mention that, on Feb 11th, the Order of Malta is hosting a Mass and blessing at St Aloysius for Our Lady of Fatima & World Day of the Sick. We wrap up this week’s discussion with thoughts on Catholic schools and how to make them even more effective for students & families. And then Bishop Caggiano’s tip for evangelization.

Why and HOW You Should Study Scripture (w/ Curtis Mitch) 55:27

6 weeks ago55:27

55:27

Why should we read Scripture? And how should we read the Bible? And, as the Ethiopian eunuch asked Philip in Acts 8, how can we understand unless someone guides us? A team of Biblical scholars, led by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, have put together the Ignatius Study Bible – with notes, context, themes, and more – to help us understand the grand arc of salvation history as the Lord unveils it to us through Scripture. Curtis Mitch, who worked on this project for 21 years, joins Bishop Caggiano on Let Me Be Frank to talk about the Bible and seeing the metanarrative of Scripture.…

Mike Aquilina on the Life of St. Joseph 54:32

10 weeks ago54:32

54:32

In the dark days of the reign of Herod, the descendants of King David lived under the radar in humility even as they awaited the imminent arrival of the Messiah. A (probably young) man named Joseph lived in the town of Nazareth and would become the earthly father of Jesus - the child of Mary & the Holy Spirit. Mike Aquilina has written a book that places us in Nazareth, Jerusalem, and the region to see what day-to-day life was life among David’s descendants. Mike and Bishop Caggiano talk about St Joseph and His World on Let Me Be Frank… detailing Joseph’s four interactions with angels, his silence, the 1000-mile flight to Egypt, his life as a carpenter in Nazareth, and much more. As the Feast of the Holy Family approaches, this is a fascinating conversation about Joseph and his relationship with Mary & Jesus.…

Bishop Caggiano's Reflection on Thanksgiving & Advent 58:22

15 weeks ago58:22

58:22

As the weather cools, Bishop Frank’s thoughts turn to… Thanksgiving. Since Thanksgiving’s my favorite holiday, I am always happy to talk about Thanksgiving. Much of what I’d like to talk about is food, but Bishop Frank gets us back on track by asking, “What are you thankful for?” Our conversation goes from Thanksgiving to Advent, which begins on December 1st. Many people (including me) don’t use Advent adequately as a time to prepare well for Christmas, so Bishop Caggiano offers us some questions to reflect upon throughout Advent… to prepare us for the three-fold coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. And Bishop also asked me, “Where do you see God’s presence actively in your life?” Enjoy the podcast or watch us on YouTube ! Also… before we head off for Thanksgiving, we are in the midst of our “Thanks for giving” pledge drive. Veritas Catholic Network is listener-supported, so we rely on your support to keep our work of evangelization going. Please partner with us .…
