Walk Humbly

On this episode of Walk Humbly, Bishop Burbidge speaks about the decree recently issued by the Holy See stating that the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX) is in schism and formally excommunicating its bishops. He explains what this means for the faithful of the diocese, and what we should do in response. Read his statement. Congratulations to the Arlington Catholic Herald and the diocesan Office of Communications on taking home 33 national awards from the Catholic Media Association! Bishop Burbidge also previews the Quo Vadis and FIAT summer camps for high school boys and girls respectively taking place later this month at Mount St. Mary's Seminary. Summer brings about increased need in the community; hear how Catholic Charities and our diocesan schools are stepping up to meet that need. Finally, Bishop answers a listener question from Maria in Front Royal: "What is one small habit that has helped you grow closer to God over the years?"
