Busted Halo Show w/Fr. Dave Dwyer

A listener named Bobbie asks Father Dave about what type of bread is allowed to be consecrated during Mass. "I went to Mass at a church in San Jose, California and received communion. The priest [presiding at] Mass consecrated a loaf of bread, and as we walked up to receive the Eucharist we were instructed to take a piece, albeit small," she says. "I have never seen [this practice] since — Is that actually permitted?"

We are called to care for the most vulnerable among us, and Father Dave welcomes Ashley Hufft, President and CEO of Unbound. Founded by lay Catholics grounded in the Gospel, the nonprofit is commemorating 45 years of walking with the poor as an expression of faith.

Some faith traditions can sound peculiar, and Father Dave welcomes writer and podcaster W. Tyler Allen to explore the beauty and mystery of Catholic mysticism. Tyler is the host of the "St. Anthony's Tongue" podcast and the author of "A Catechism of the Strange: Stigmata, Relics, and the Miracles That Shape the Soul."

A listener named Ed asks Father Dave about the Catholic Church's process of declaring someone a Saint. Ed says, "I see that [Archbishop] Fulton Sheen was just beatified. What's the difference between beatification and canonization?"

Father Dave and Brett joined Lino Rulli and Tyler Veghte of "The Catholic Guy Show" on SiriusXM's Catholic Channel for the "Lourdes, Lisieux, and Laughs" Pilgrimage. They traveled with 90 listeners to famous Catholic churches and cities across France, including Lisieux, Paris, Normandy, and Lourdes.
