Talk:Relevant Radio

Does this piece address the controversy of church organizations who claim loyalty to the vatican - but only selective loyalty

I think this article should be expanded in some way to discuss the stations use of loyalty to the Vatican as a cover for political and social ideology which runs contrary to the historical church and in some way serves the purpose not of catholic truth, but of historical revisionism about the faith and what it truly means to be a catholic by only presenting one-side of it. Opposition to abortion is frequently discussed, however, opposition to the death penalty is not.

Relevant Radio aimed at orthodox Roman Catholics

I think this article should be expanded in some way to discuss the stations use of loyalty to the Vatican as a cover for political and social ideology which runs contrary to the historical church and in some way serves the purpose not of catholic truth, but of historical revisionism about the faith and what it truly means to be a catholic by only presenting one-side of it. Opposition to abortion is frequently discussed, however, opposition to the death penalty is not.

Relevant Radio is aimed at orthodox Roman Catholics, not “conservative” Catholics. "Conservative" is a political term, and a misnomer when applied to the Church. The Catholic faith is not governed by "right" or "left," "conservative" or "liberal." She walks the line of Truth, which generally lies in the political middle.

Opposition to abortion is frequently discussed, as are many non-negotiable Church teachings, but the death penalty is discussed as well. It is probably not discussed as much as abortion, of course, most likely because Catholics can, in good faith, disagree with Church teaching on the death penalty, but not on the killing of an innocent human life.

While most Catholics who are faithful to the Magisterium agree with the current teaching on the death penalty(that it is rarely if ever necessary), Catholics are not bound by this teaching.

Relevant Radio Continues To Amass Debt=

With a recent pledge drive not reaching a goal (as stated by their afternoon announcer), Relevant Radio continues to jettison long-time employees, often gutting staff of local stations. This has impacted local news and community contact to a great degree. The apparent focus is now on "big cites' where "big revenue" can hopefully be found. But at the same time, the number of people in key positions with actual experience in radio broadcasting has been slashed. This raises the question of whether Relevant Radio will be able to identify trends in listeners and adapt to changing listening habits. In a sense, those in charge are not broadcasting, they are "narrowcasting" to a small segment of American Catholics who would prefer more Latin and less Vatican II influence. Whether this shrinking base will be enable to support the efforts of the network is in question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.91.71.67 (talk) 20:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC) This Radio Station is a fraud!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.235.5.148 (talk) 13:15, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit request

• What I think should be changed: Adding in a section about the Relevant Radio App like this one below:

Relevant Radio App The Relevant Radio app offers on demand access to the live content heard on air, video live streaming, podcasts of past shows, articles on the latest news in the Church and around the world, music access, audio prayers and a collection of text prayers.

Catholic faith resources are also available in the app such as a confession guide (a preparation guide for Catholics participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation), daily readings, novenas and more. Live interactive prayer can be accessed through the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Daily Rosary. The app is marketed as a digital guide to “explore truth, hope, and meaning.”

The logo of the Relevant Radio app shows a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe because of the station’s official launch date on December 12th being the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

• Why it should be changed: The app is a main part of the company and brand itself. The app is a main outlet where the company has their shows and different tools so I think it would be important to include a section on it.

Not done: A majority of the requested changes are currently written in a promotional tone. Please review WP:Neutral point of view and ensure you follow this before submitting any edit requests. This is excessive information about an app without any supplied independent secondary sourcing. However, a casual mention that Relevant distributes its programming digitally is relevant, and I have added it to the lead section. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 06:25, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

The Lincolnshire headquarters was previously the United Auto Workers Region headquarters, but is now remodeled to include modern recording studios, offices, and meeting spaces. Additionally, the headquarters houses a 70-seat chapel, The Chapel of the Proclamation, where the daily Masses are televised and adoration occurs throughout the workday.

25 Year Anniversary Celebration In the year 2025, Relevant Radio celebrated their twenty-five-year anniversary. Relevant Radio marked its 25th anniversary at a commemorative event on December 12, honoring both the feast of its patroness, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the day it obtained its first broadcast license in 2000.

Event attendees gathered for Solemn Mass at the historic St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church in Chicago followed by a formal dinner at the Hilton Chicago. The evening celebration brought together friends, loyal benefactors, and staff from all over the country to offer gratitude to God, share memories and uplifting stories, and raise a toast to the next 25 years of broadcasting hope. More than 1100 people attended, and the event raised $3.2 million.

The distinguished guest of honor, Monsignor James Shea, was named the 35th recipient of Relevant Radio's Christ Brings Hope Award, an honor bestowed upon an American Catholic who has worked with extraordinary dedication to bring hope and the good news of Christ to countless souls.

Conference Event Presence Relevant Radio has attended and sponsored major Catholic conferences, including the National Eucharistic Congress in 2024 and multiple SEEK conferences. The National Eucharistic Congress had over 60,000 attendees and Relevant Radio served as the top presenting partner where they had a booth offering live broadcasting and did a live Family Rosary Across America prayer every morning of the conference. This event took place in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Lucas Oil Stadium.

Since the year 2023, Relevant Radio has sponsored the SEEK Conference, an annual Catholic event for young adults with up to 25,000 attendees. SEEK is organized by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, or FOCUS, an organization that forms Catholic missionaries.

Relevant Radio broadcasts the keynote sessions and additional speakers on their streaming service, Relevant Radio+, where they can be accessed.

• Why it should be changed: The company has made a lot of substantial additions which I feel would help readers understand the company more, in a way that is factual and not promotional as it adheres to Wikipedia.

Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly. Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.) In addition, you will need to provide independent third party sources (WP:RS).

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

Request edit examples

N  INCORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the article. Additionally, ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Y  CORRECT
