The atrocities being committed by radical groups such as ISIS and Boko Haram have brought the discussion on religious persecution and intolerance to the forefront of the news cycle.

The one-hour special will air live at 2:00 pm ET on The Catholic Channel, which is available to listeners nationwide on satellite radios (channel 129) on the SiriusXM app and at SiriusXM.com.
