"One day, on my way back from work, I tuned-in to what used to be my favorite station and started listening to Catholic Answers Live.

There have been several programs that have touched me very deeply, even to the point of tears."

"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."
