Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. explores Pope Leo XIV’s teachings on lay participation in the Church, focusing on his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and address to synodal teams. Listen to Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. share more in this segment of the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio about true co-responsibility, the grace of Baptism calling every Christian to mission as priest, prophet, and king, and fostering collaboration across clergy, religious, and laity.
What does true co-responsibility look like for the lay faithful in the Catholic Church today, and how do we avoid a consumer mentality when participating in parish life?
On The Son Rise Morning Show, co-host Anna Mitchell welcomes back Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C., Founding Director of the Catholic Apostolate Center. Concluding their multi-part series on the laity, Fr. Frank and Anna examine Pope Leo XIV’s teachings on lay participation—particularly in his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and addressing synodal teams in Rome. They explore how the grace of Baptism calls every Christian to share in Christ's mission as priest, prophet, and king, the necessity of active parish consultative bodies, the application of subsidiarity and solidarity, and avoiding paternalism while fostering genuine collaboration across clergy, religious, and laity.
