Grand Master Fra Festing's Interview on The Catholic Cafe

Earlier this Spring in Lourdes, the Grand Master of the Order of Malta, Fra' Matthew Festing dropped by The Catholic Cafe for an interview. He talks about the history and nature of the Order and gives an interesting lesson on the actual meaning of the motto 'Tuitio Fidei' as being more than just "Defense of the Faith" but more accurately as "nurturing or teaching the Faith."

The Catholic Cafe, Inc. is incorporated in Tennessee as a not-for-profit corporation, under the umbrella of the Diocese of Memphis for tax-exempt purposes. It’s board members and officers are all members of the Order of Malta serving with the approval of the Bishop of Memphis. The mission of The Catholic Café, Inc. is to reach out to non-Catholics and fallen-away Catholics with positive, high quality radio and Internet programming to faithfully present Catholic teaching and follow up with personal outreach when requested. We wish to invite all people to consider joining us in the Catholic Church.

The interview lasts about half an hour and can be heard by clicking here.
