Two new saints for youth. Censorship grows in Canada.
In the inaugural episode of Registered, Catholic Register editor Mickey Conlon, along with correspondents Luke Mandato and Quinton Amundson, dive into three powerful stories about faith, freedom, and public expression. The Register staff explore the inspiring lives of Blessed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, two soon-to-be saints whose charity and courage speak to today’s youth. Luke, Quinton and Mickey then unpack the controversy surrounding Quebec’s proposed restrictions on public prayer before discussing ‘cancel culture’s’ attack on Sean Feucht and where it leaves religious freedom in the country.
