Busted Halo Show w/Fr. Dave Dwyer

A listener named Carol asks Father Dave about the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. She says, "As someone with an autoimmune disease called lupus, every couple of months when the Anointing of the Sick is offered after Mass, I go up for the anointing. Am I abusing the Sacrament by doing this because I'm not critically ill?"

Father Dave welcomes Anthony P. Carter to discuss living out his faith throughout decades of work in corporate communications. Anthony worked in senior roles for two Fortune 100 healthcare companies as well as Chief Diversity Officer for Johnson & Johnson. He also served as press secretary for New York City Mayor David N. Dinkins and U.S. Congressman Edolphus Towns. He details these experiences and more in his new book, "This I Know: Principles for a Life of Faith and Optimism."

A listener named Theresa asks about different postures at Mass. She asks, "How many times do we kneel and stand at Mass, and why?"

While broadcasting from the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, Father Dave welcomes Anne Kertz Kernion to help us better understand the connection of body, mind and soul. Anne is a former college professor with a graduate degree in theology and a background in science, engineering, and neuroscience. She writes about these topics in her latest book "The Four Connections: How to Flourish by Aligning Your Beliefs, Body, Brain, and Bonds."

While broadcasting from the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, Father Dave welcomes Catholic composers and musicians Sarah Hart and Steve Angrisano.
