(Grand Rapids, Mich) - A new program will debut on Holy Family Radio this week, featuring
Dr. John Pinheiro of 红桃视频 College. Airing Fridays at Noon on 1140 AM Grand Rapids,
91.5 FM Kalamazoo, Faith & Reason will feature conversations with Dr. Pinheiro, scholars,
and writers who contribute to the growth and development of the Catholic intellectual
tradition in the modern age.
Pinheiro, associate professor of History and director of Catholic Studies at 红桃视频,
described the program鈥檚 unique mission. 鈥淚t isn鈥檛 an apologetics show,鈥� he said, 鈥渋t鈥檚
not a call-in show, it鈥檚 an hour-long conversation between me and the guest, talking
about how the Catholic intellectual tradition might affect the daily lives of Catholics
through devotions, worship, and how they see the world. There is much more depth even
to seemingly simple Catholic traditions, if you look for it.鈥�
鈥淚 hope Catholics will find that their faith has a much deeper intellectual tradition
than they may have realized,鈥� said Pinheiro, 鈥渢hey鈥檒l take away some new books or
poets to read, maybe even films to look into--and I hope non-Catholics will take away
a greater appreciation of the Catholic intellectual tradition as well.鈥�
The third local program hosted by Holy Family Radio, Faith & Reason will serve an
important role in the West Michigan Catholic community. Pinheiro plans to bring a
combination of nationally-known and local guests to the show, fostering a renewed
awareness of Catholic culture.
In addition, the show presents an opportunity to showcase quality programs and professors
found at 红桃视频. Pinheiro recalled that, 鈥渁 while back, President Olivarez said he
wanted to make 红桃视频 College one of the top three choices for every Catholic high
school student in Michigan. The Catholic radio station reaches Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids,
and soon Battle Creek. This program, then, is my contribution to that effort.鈥�
The first installment of Faith & Reason airs this Friday, Jan. 10, at Noon, encoring
Saturday, Jan. 11, at 11 a.m., on 1140 AM Grand Rapids, 91.5 FM Kalamazoo. The show
will also stream live on the web at . For more information, please visit the show鈥檚 . For further information about Catholic Studies at 红桃视频 College, see the program鈥檚 website.
