Today\u2019s topics: Missionary Bishop from Boston in Honduras\nSummary of today\u2019s show: Bishop Maurus Muldoon, OFM, the retired bishop of Juticalpa, Honduras, joins Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams to talk about growing up in Dorchester, becoming a Franciscan, and then being sent to Central America in 1966 where he served until retiring as bishop in 2012. Bishop Muldoon tells our listeners about traveling with Pope John Paul II on his first pastoral visit around Central America soon after the bishop\u2019s episcopal ordination and thereafter always being known to the Pope as \u201cthe Franciscan bishop from Boston in Honduras\u201d; the tense political and social conditions in Honduras and El Salvador that several times required he leave an assignment for his own safety; and the development of the Church in Juticalpa from near non-existence to relatively thriving with priests and seminarians, religious orders, a hospital, schools, and other institutions when he left. Along the way, we also hear some anecdotes about Christopher Columbus High School in Boston and Pope John Paul II\u2019s pastoral opinion on a dispute over First Communions at St. Joseph Parish in Holbrook.\nListen to the show:\n\nToday\u2019s host(s): Scot Landry and Fr.
