Those Darn Jesuits . . . Provoking Radio

The Washington Times has a piece on the radio ministry of Jesuit Father Steve Spahn:

He is like a lot of other talk-radio hosts: 35, single, friendly, a smooth talker. But the Rev. Stephen Spahn is also a Catholic priest. Father Spahn holds forth every Sunday at 10 a.m. on WBAL-1090 AM, inviting religious leaders of all faiths to weigh in on everything from poverty to prison. A Jesuit priest serving for the past two years as associate pastor at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown, Father Spahn dislikes "shrill, call-in radio," he says, but has dubbed his program "Provoke Radio" to "provoke" listeners to action on social justice issues. Radio Mass of Baltimore Inc., a Roman Catholic ministry to the homebound, sponsors the show, which is taped in a confessional in Baltimore's St. Ignatius Apostolic Center.
