Once again, I get to step outside the box and guest host on Relevant Radio’s Drew Mariani Show from 3-6 ET today! The Catholic talk-radio network is heard nationwide on the air after its merger with Immaculate Heart Radio, as well as online and through their free mobile app that plays live and podcasted shows.

Today’s Relevant Radio show includes:

• Hurricane Harvey gets lots of attention in our show today. We’ll speak to Michael Dunn of the Knights of Columbus in Dickinson, Texas; Peter Fontana of Adore Ministries; and Matt Johns of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Follow these links to find out how you can help.
• A recent book by Fr. James Martin about the lack of welcoming for LGBT Catholics has stirred up a debate. Cardinal Robert Sarah wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed last night rebutting Fr. Martin. We’ll have Daniel Mattison, author of the recent book Why I Don’t Call Myself Gay (Ignatius Press), on to discuss the issue.
• Conservatives and Catholics are wondering why the Trump administration is still defending the HHS contraception mandate. We’ll discuss what progress has been made, and what progress is still yet needed.
• Andrew Malcolm helps me wrap up the week in politics as our final guest. We’ll talk about his Hot Air posts, especially regarding the politics of Harvey relief

We may add more before the show starts today, plus we will have the chaplet of Divine Mercy — today with the First Mate as my prayer partner in studio. We will also take your calls at 1-877-766-3777. You can also listen on the Relevant Radio app no matter where you are in the world, so download it now. I’ll look forward to talking with you!
