Real Name of God & Fr. Roy Bourgeois




Sex, Religion, Power and Politics show

Summary: Opening tonight's show, Rabbi Wayne Dosick, acclaimed best selling author will discuss his new book, The Real Name of God, that answers the question "Who is God?" and postulates vastly different and more expansive understandings of God so that we might transcend our modern divisive world.  He is the award-winning author of 8 books, including Living Judaism, Soul Judaism, 20-Minute Kabbalah and Golden Rules.  Rabbi Dosick has been described as "a rational intellect with the soul of a mystic." Crossing the threshold into the second half of the show, we have returning to the show, Fr. Roy Bourgeois.  If you haven't heard of him, you'll want to know him.  Fr. Roy has courageously supported a woman's right to ordination and for that belief he's finally been excommunicated by the Vatican after being a Maryknoll priest for 45 years.  We'll discuss this decision which came down last November now that Roy is granting interviews once again.  We'll discuss the Womanpriests Movement and why he felt it was so important to stand on the side of the rightsof women,  equality and dignity than risk being de-frocked.  I'll also get his insights on how the Vatican can allow priests known to have molested children retain their position in the Church, while supporting women's rights is intolerable.  That's a question I'd love to lay at Pope Francis' door step.
