Patrick Marrin is the director of synodal life at Saint James Catholic Church in Midtown, Kansas City, Missouri. In this episode, he shares insights on how synodality can be lived in our churches today. From the first ecclesial council in Jerusalem, as the neophyte church was formed, to others that led up to the Second Vatican Council sixty years ago, the universal Catholic community continues to unfold according to Christ’s mission.
Pat understands well the history and tradition that brings us to our twenty-first-century way of moving forward together, guided by the Holy Spirit. You will learn about the kind of church that popes and saints yearned for and is now being actualized.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
