The Chaplain Is In

Fr. Hugh Barbour, a Norbertine priest and Catholic Answers chaplain, joins Cy to take questions of a more pastoral nature. Listeners with questions about the reasons for believing in the Catholic Church, the liturgy, the sacraments, family life, and much more are very welcome while the chaplain is in.

Questions Covered:
