Radio Interview: Bishop Adam J. Parker takes more listener questions in ‘Ask a Bishop’

Bishop Adam J. Parker, auxiliary bishop of Baltimore, returns for another installment of Catholic Review Radio’s popular “Ask a Bishop” series. In this episode, Bishop Parker takes on a wide range of listener questions gathered from Catholic events across the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

He offers practical advice for college students on peer-to-peer evangelization, guidance on approaching friends struggling with underage drinking and tips for defending the Catholic faith with confidence and humility. A father of a seminarian asks how to encourage vocations — and Bishop Parker’s answer is both personal and pastoral. Other topics include whether Catholics should kiss the bishop’s ring, what drives Bishop Parker’s ministry and what he does on a day off (hint: pack your hiking boots).
