## Resource

Canon Stephen Sharpe, ICKSP, serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Joseph Shrine in Detroit, Michigan. He was ordained in 2020. In Today's Show: If someone we know is in sin, should we rebuke their actions instead of showing false kindness? Do priests need to drink out of the chalice? Are Catholic disciplines too legalistic? How can we defend the Catholic church against governments that are conspiring to harm the faith? How can we get ahead in this world without usury? Was the illness St. Therese had a sign of possession? Should the laity be distributing Holy Communion to the homebound? What do ICKSP priests do when they want to swim?
