June brings so many joys: Pentecost, Corpus Christi, first Sacraments, and summertime (at least here in the northern hemisphere)! One is easily engrossed with nature this time of year... praise God, from Whom all this beauty flows!
This month True Restoration will continue with the series The Second Vatican Council which debuted last season. Host Stephen Heiner is joined by Father Arnold Trauner in a discussion of the council which is based on the book The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber by Fr. Ralph M. Wiltgen, S.V.D. Affordable hard copies of the book are available for purchase in the True Restoration Bookstore here. This season’s topics will include the documents Gaudium et Spes, Dignitatis Humanae, and Lumen Gentium, along with schools, religious life, jews, and marriage, amongst others. There will be 10 episodes released throughout the month, beginning on June 4th.
All of the most recent episodes of True Restoration programming are accessible only to our members. In an effort to bring quality Catholic content to all who seek it, we will continue to offer Monthly Memberships. This season, these inexpensive memberships include access to all of the current season’s releases (please note that the previous season is no longer included).
