Today on Kresta - September 1, 2010

Talking about the "things that matter most" on Sept. 1

4:00 – What About the “Catholic Church at Ground Zero”?
Supporters of a Greek Orthodox church destroyed on Sept. 11 say officials willing to speak out about a planned community center and mosque near Ground Zero have been silent on efforts to get the church rebuilt. Though the projects are not related, supporters — including George Pataki, New York's governor at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks — have questioned why public officials have not addressed St. Nicholas' future while they lead a debate on whether and where the Islamic cultural center should be built. We talk with Nicholas Karacostas of the American Hellenic Education Progressive Association.

4:20 – No Greater Ally: The Untold Story of Poland's Forces in World War II
There is a chapter of World War 2 history that remains largely untold: the story of the fourth largest Allied military of the war, and the only nation to have fought in the battles of Leningrad, Arnhem, Tobruk and Normandy. This is the story of the Polish forces during the Second World War, the story of millions of young men and women who gave everything for freedom and in the final victory lost all. In a cruel twist of history, the monumental struggles of an entire nation have been largely forgotten, and even intentionally obscured. Ken Koskodan is here to tell that story.

5:00 – New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy
With the incredible popularity of recent books championing agnosticism or atheism, many people might never know that such books almost completely ignore the considerable evidence for theism uncovered in both physics and philosophy over the past four decades. Fr. Robert Spitzer responds to these glaring omissions. From universal space-time asymmetry to cosmic coincidences to the intelligibility of reality, Fr. Spitzer tackles a wealth of evidence. He considers string theory, quantum cosmology, mathematical thoughts on infinity, and much more. This fascinating and stunning collection of evidence provides solid grounding for reasonable and responsible belief in a super-intelligent, transcendent, creative power standing at the origins of our universe.

5:40 – “The Lord’s Prayer”
Fr. Robert Barron of Word on Fire Ministries and the Catholicism Project is here for his bi-monthly segment. Today he addresses the “Lord’s Prayer.”
