EPISODE#277: FR. ROBERT SPITZER ON “THE MORAL WISDOM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH”
Show Notes

Host Rick Howick interviews guests on a variety of topics. On today’s episode of OC Catholic Radio, Rick welcomes our neighbor at the ‘Tower of Hope’ on the campus of Christ Cathedral. It’s none other than Fr. Robert Spitzer, president of the Magis Center and host on EWTN’s popular TV show, “Fr. Spitzer’s Universe.” On this episode, the discussion centers around his recent and enormously popular book, “The Moral Wisdom of the Catholic Church – A Defense of Her Controversial Moral Teachings.”

Many people today, particularly the young, are embarrassed by the Church's moral teaching. For them, it is only an outdated expression of hatred or disgust. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Sin is what degrades man and kills his joy, and a moral life is a life of love. Jesus said, "The truth will set you free." With scientific clarity, this work provides readers everything they need to know to speak credibly, effectively, and persuasively about the most controversial moral issues.
