Episode 275 debuts on April 21, at 8:00 PM Eastern. Rebroadcasts will take place according to the Crusade Channel programming schedule (note: all times listed are Central time). The topic is Joining a Catholic Culture to Permaculture. Our guest is Sister Maria Philomena, M.I.C.M.
DISCLAIMER: As was mentioned in the show, some of the permaculture sites out there are run by people who are political and social “progressives.” We assume our audience is mature enough to distinguish between the agricultural principles being promoted on these sites and other agendas that contradict Catholic morals.
