On this special Faith-in-Culture Thursday, we are pleased to welcome Hollywood film director and writer Tom Shadyac, the man behind such iconic comedies as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar, Liar, and Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey, The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy, and Patch Adams starring Robin Williams. A recent brush with death compelled Tom Shadyac to make his most recent film I AM, a documentary that asks some of today’s most profound questions: “What’s wrong with the world?” and “What can we do about it?” I AM won the 2012 Humanitas Prize, an award honoring works in film & TV that which affirm the dignity of the human person founded by one of my brother Paulist priests.  Here with us to discuss his new book Life’s Operating Manual: With the Fear and Truth Dialogues is Tom Shadyac!

Two great questions today on the program - one modern, on ancient. The first is about the use and possible misuse of gadgets like iPhones and iPads at mass. The second is about why the parables are sometimes so tricky instead of straightforward. We like to cover all issues old and new on the show!

Father Dave takes on three different but all significant issues from three different call-in listeners on the show. The first was curious if we ever skip the Creed, the second wondering if gambling is okay in the eyes of the church (which includes a funny helpful explanation of fantasy football to padre), and the third caller wants to know how to help her teenage daughter hear God's voice in her life.

Father Dave answers some great questions and offers some strong advice and counseling for two totally different listeners. The first caller wants to know when and how our concept of saints and sainthood came about as Catholics. The next caller was concerned about his standing as a Catholic if his wife moves forward in applying for a divorce from him.
