How one bishop’s experience of suicide loss led him to start a mental health ministry

This week, Ashley and Zac are joined by Bishop John Dolan of the
Diocese of Phoenix to talk about losing several members of his
family to suicide, a groundbreaking new mental health ministry in
his diocese and how the church can better support those struggling
with mental health issues.  They are also joined by America
colleague James Martin, S.J., who serves as a consultor for the
Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. They discuss the dicastery’s
new document “Towards Full Presence: A Pastoral Reflection on
Engagement with Social Media.” Finally, Zac brings a question to
discuss: Does God take bribes?  Links from the show:
