They sued their daughters’ Catholic school

Don’t miss our podcast with Tony Scarpo, a modern Catholic hero

Tony Scarpo has fascinating stories! His autobiography, La Mia Famiglia: Never Let Them Steal Your Name, chronicles his family’s struggles against the mafia in Tampa. That hardship, it turns out, may have been God’s way of forming a soldier for Christ.

Tony later became a successful businessman and, with his wife Barbara, made a large donation to his daughters’ Catholic school. But as happens too often today, Tony and Barbara discovered this Catholic school was pushing radical ideology opposed to Catholic teaching on gender and human dignity.

So they sued to get their money back.

Their story gets even more interesting and inspiring. Hear it on The Cardinal Newman Society Podcast, hosted by Kevin Murphy, on our website and major podcast platforms. Moreover, I am excited to announce this is our first podcast episode with full video as well as audio! Thanks to your support, we purchased three cameras and the training needed for filming and editing. As our podcast grows in reach in popularity, this is an important step toward helping Catholics “see” the value of faithful Catholic education.
