Thursday; Fr. Alan on super heroes, John Allen, Jr. on the Pope's new spokesman

On Thursday's show, the second hour guests are Fr. Alan Carter, bemoaning a change in super hero ethics (7:30am ET), and John L. Allen, Jr., veteran Catholic journalist, on the Vatican's newly announced successor to Fr. Federico Lombardi, American Greg Burke (7:45am). Also, a strange controversy that says more about the critics, the rest Jesus offers, and the kind of autism no one talks about.
