sorry I haven't heard of him. I've actually been listening to a Catholic radio station lately. Some stuff is really interesting, some stuff is just plain crazy! It can also be inspiring.
It inspired my husband to have faith in God again. Which is also how AA works - turning your will over to your higher power.
We heard something one day on the radio (www.relevantradio.com) about how alcohol or other addictions remove you from the state of God's grace. Alcohol is the enemy/evil. The devil wants us to be removed from our state of grace. And according to this one sermon, the rosary is the weapon against the devil. So I bought my husband a nice rosary made of jobe's tears (a seed in the middle east). The sermom says that Mary, the Mother of God protects us when we ask for her favour.
I'm opening to asking for favour from Mary, Guardian Angels and all the Saints in Heaven if it will help!
