A father’s spirituality is critical to a strong and faithful family life
When Bishop Thomas Olmsted set out to communicate with his “spiritual sons in the Diocese of Phoenix” last September, it’s hard to know if he anticipated the response that he received. In a few short months, his document, “Into the Breach: An Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic Men, my Spiritual Sons in the Diocese of Phoenix,” garnered attention around the globe for its challenge to Catholic men to become reengaged with the Church.
As the response indicates, the Church is hungering for such leadership, and Bishop Olmsted is to be commended for his clear and effective teaching. Even more impressively, the Diocese of Phoenix on Jan. 5 announced that it is continuing the conversation with the release of a short film called “A Call to Battle” — further proof of the priority and the urgency this subject has in Phoenix.
