On this episode of Catholic Forum, after a news update from The Dialog, we talk with Benjamin O’Brien, author of the new book, “The Proving Grounds: A Catholic on Ladder 17.” Ben, a former firefighter, shares lessons learned while trying to be a good Catholic in a work environment that is not always tolerant of people with different religious views or moral standards – lessons that people from most jobs can identify with. Watch a video of this interview on the Diocese of Wilmington’s YouTube channel.  Catholic Forum is a production of the Office of Communication of the Diocese of Wilmington.
