Good show especially covering that ‘big topic’ with respect. Christopher West has a few books that are a great resource on Sex topics as well.

As always, thanks for the tip on the resources.
I don’t think you guys get as much good feedback as you deserve. In the last year, I’ve really seen you guys find a good pace to your show – the interaction, jokes, use of media clips, skits. It has become very fun. Somehow, you guys also pull off the fun discussion of some topics that can potentially incite alot of affect. I hear you joke frequently about your listenership (or lack thereof). You guys pick a tough audience – young Catholics. As you’ve said before, they often stray as adolescents (though they later come back). What you do may not have a lot of numbers, but it is a necessary. If you just keep one from straying, then it’s all worth it. And DON’T back off on the discussion of sex. If the Church doesn’t make its teachings clear on sex, someone else is guaranteed to come along and mislead. There needs to be more of a frank discussion about the Churches teachings on sex. The teachings on sex are beautiful and to be celebrated. If we act embarrassed about the topic, we send the message that the Church is prudish. And it is not – from the Bible all the way up to John Paul II there has been an explicit and well developed theology. Not only are there plenty of folks out there offering incorrect messages, but they also offer misinformation about the Churches teachings. Given the target audience of your ministry, I truly think you should have a brief 5-10 minute segment on a Church teaching about sex for every show. If the mainstream media is hitting teens and young adults over the head every day with the topic, you can set it right at least once a week. I am a research psychologist and human sexuality teacher, so if you ever want research articles that support the Catholic churches position on sex, let me know. Keep up the good work and God bless you boneheads

Wow Jason, thanks for that, it made my day!!! You’re right, there’s so much beauty that can be brought out in the Church’s teachings on sexuality, it really can warrant a segment every week.
I’ve just sent you an email–we would love to see what you’ve got! Thanks again….
thanks Jason!
