Busted Halo Show w/Fr. Dave Dwyer

A listener named Randy asks Father Dave a question about the history of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "Could you explain the Baltimore Catechism?" Randy asks. "My dad would always talk about it, but never gave an explanation of what it was. Is it still in effect, or is there a new Catechism?"

As we share meals with those we love this holiday season, Father Dave welcomes Emily Stimpson Chapman to discuss her new book "Around the Catholic Table: 100+ Simple Recipes for Family and Friends."

The holiday season can be a lonely time for singles seeking marriage, and Father Dave welcomes back speaker and author Emily Wilson Hussem to discuss her new Catholic dating app SacredSpark.   

A listener named Kay asks a question about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. "When going to confession, do you have to detail every instance [of sin]?" She asks. "For example, if you tend to embellish the truth, do you describe every time you lie? Or if you have been promiscuous, do you have to detail every instance?"

Father Dave welcomes friend of the show Greg Willits to discuss how the writings of Saint Louis de Montfort have impacted Greg's mental health journey. He is the founder and executive director of RosaryArmy.com, as well as the host of the Rosary Army podcast with his wife, Jennifer. Greg is the author of "God Doesn't Hate Me, After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort's Love of Eternal Wisdom."
