re catholic radio,
1260am,
www.ihradio.com

I enjoy some of the Catholic radio resources around California...there's also a station at 930am (southern Cal) ...however I get a bit turned off when they make it TOO MUCH about becoming "catholic" rather than becoming "CHristian" (ie being "in Christ", regardless of the "brand") or about the "superiority" of catholicism over other brands of Christian faith (ie the various protestant denominations, as well as orthodox et al). ...but when they stick to simply being Biblical and encouraging and positive and non-worldly they are a great inspiration.

"Pope Francis preaches “Gospel of the Marginalized,” calls for open church" - Religion News Service

"Throughout his homily — at 15 minutes unusually
long for him — Francis repeatedly slammed the
"narrow and prejudiced mentality" of believers who
cling to religious laws out of fear. They wind up
rejecting the very people they should be ministering
to first, he said, which means anyone on the margins
of society "who encounters discrimination."
"Total openness to serving others is our hallmark, it
alone is our title of honor!" Francis said at the Mass
to mark his appointment of 20 new cardinals the day
before..."
