14 SET 2024 · In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Frank Fraser on his book Already There.
Are you ready to come home? A place where no one is ever hungry, afraid, or alone. A golden land of beauty, laughter, and joy. Could there really be such a place? This is the question our protagonist, a little lamb, asks when a mysterious kindly Shepherd appears, promising eternal happiness in a world to come. Yes, our home is indeed a paradise, and the Father has prepared a place for each of us. As the lamb grapples with this joyous revelation, he learns to ignore the scoffing of worldly leaders, who boast of their own plans and claim that Heaven is a myth. The lamb believes the Shepherd and is determined to find the way to this wonderful place. The way is simple. The Shepherd tells him: “I am the Way.” And the lamb eagerly follows Him. But while simple, the way is not easy. The lamb faces many obstacles on the path to happiness, including his own weakness and temptations. As his memory of the Good Shepherd fades, will he overcome the allure of the world to follow the true path once again? With whimsical storytelling and colorful imagery, this picture book gently introduces children to the challenge all Christians face during their lives. Parents and children alike will ask whether they have the courage to follow Jesus when the path before them becomes steep and rocky. Inspired by the parable of the Good Shepherd, who goes into the wilderness to rescue the sheep that strays, this tale of faith and forgiveness is sure to inspire greater love and devotion for the kindly Shepherd, who is always ready to find us and lead us home.

9 SET 2024 · In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews John Carpay on his contribution entitled "COVID and the Demise of Constitutionality in Canada" in Politics, Law & Religion in Times of COVID, edited by Jane F. Adolphe, Fulvio Di Blasi, and Robert L. Fastiggi.
After two years of anti-COVID-19 policies, an international group of Catholic scholars and lawyers gathered in Rome under the auspices of the International Catholic Jurists Forum to reflect on how society has handled the crisis in the fields of law, politics and religion. The purpose of the meeting was to highlight what needs to be done in the future to better safeguard subsidiarity, fundamental human rights, especially freedom of religion and conscience, expression, assembly and movement as well as democratic processes per se and the unity of family life. Scholars and jurists, authors of this book, discussed how the pandemic has affected the functioning of Western political systems, how it has changed our thinking about democracy, and how it has affected the life of the Church.
The publication of this book comes at a time when United Nations Member States are set to complete negotiations on the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Treaty, and on the WHO International Health Regulations. Both documents raise a number of concerns related to the global biosecurity governance regime that is envisioned and the correlative limits on fundamental human rights that it entails. This book offers an examination of a number of related issues and concerns that reflect upon and bravely engage the evidence to offer clear thinking for scientists, politicians, and clergymen in light of faith and right reason with respect for the natural moral law and for religious believers, with assistance from divine revelation.

28 AGO 2024 · In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Fr. Julius Leloczky, O. Cist. on his book All is Grace: My Life.
Son of a baker, Julius Lelóczky was supposed to continue the family business, the French style patisserie. He instead felt he was called to be a monk and priest, during a time when in communist Hungary all religious orders had been suppressed. By God’s grace, he was able to join the Cistercian Order which continued to operate underground. After living as an underground monk for three years until the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against the mighty Soviet Union, since at that time the western border was open, he (with other young Cistercians) was sent to Rome to study, then to Texas at the Our Lady of Dallas Cistercian Abbey, founded by refugee Hungarian monks during the 1950s. Fr. Julius has been living at this monastery and teaching at the Abbey’s prep school for nearly fifty years. Read about the exciting and perilous young life of this Hungarian American priest and the interesting transformation of a refugee ethnic religious community into a flourishing American monastery.

24 LUG 2024 · In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Annette Wilcox on her book Bumping the Dock: A Story of God’s Grace and an 18-Wheeler (July 24, 2024)
I am an unlikely person to be a long-haul trucker. People comment that I look more like a librarian or an English teacher than a trucker. And I have been both. Trucking is physically a little too hard for me. Perhaps for this reason, my life as a trucker has been one of radical dependence on God. The truck runs, after all, by grace, and I’m on the road only as long as God wants me to be. I have truly experienced that God’s mercies are new every morning and are inexhaustible. He always helps! That’s what this story is about.
