Episodes
Will Only a Few Be Saved?
The question of how many souls will be lost is a perennial question in Church history, with a variety of answers. But is it the right question to ask?
The Fate of Traditionis Custodes
Pope Leo and other Church leaders have been sending mixed signals regarding the future of the TLM. Will Traditionis Custodes remain the law of the Church, or will we return to the days of Summorum Pontificum?
A Golden or Gilded Age? Part II
Here's the completion of the last podcast (which was interrupted by a tornado) in which we give practical advice to both young and old on how to survive—and thrive—in an era of rising prices.
A Golden or Gilded Age?
In spite of claims that we’re entering a “Golden Age,” many young people are struggling under the weight of rising prices. What can Catholics—both young and old—do to help?
Arrested for Life
Almost forty years ago thousands of Christians were being arrested throughout the country for blocking abortion clinic doors. Here’s my first-hand account of what we did and why we did it—and how it changed the pro-life movement for both good and ill.
The Problem of Gay Priests
Fr. James Martin recently argued that “gay” men should be ordained priests, in spite of explicit Vatican guidelines against the practice. What are the problems of ordaining even celibate men with same-sex attraction as priests?
How Much Should a Catholic Tithe?
When it comes to giving to the Church and to charity, how much of one’s income should Catholics give? We’ll look at what the Church has said over the years.
Deliver Us from Black-Pilling
For those who recognize the severe crisis in the Church, there’s a temptation to black-pill: to see only the chaff and none of the wheat. But that’s another way Satan pulls souls away from God.
10 Pillars of Catholic Family Life
In today’s world, creating a sane and sanctifying home life is incredibly difficult. Here are ten pillars to increase your chances of success.
Candace Conspiracy Craziness
Candace Owens has created a podcasting empire based on wild conspiracy theories, but the Tyler Robinson trial is revealing cracks in the facade. We’ll look both at her and the problem of internet “personalities.”
Can We Still “Unite the Clans”?
For years the “Unite the Clans” movement tried to bring all traditional Catholic groups together under a common cause. Is this still possible after the SSPX consecrations?
Explaining the Vatican’s SSPX Decrees
The Vatican issues two decrees related to the SSPX episcopal consecrations, one on the penalties imposed and another on the procedures for those who wish to leave the SSPX. Who exactly is excommunicated, and does this mean a Catholic can’t attend an SSPX Mass?
The Crisis in the Church
The key issue surrounding the upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations is whether they are justified by a “crisis” in today’s Church. Is there a crisis, and if so, what is its nature and what responses are legitimate?
Disclosure Dud
Stephen Spielberg’s big-budget movie “Disclosure Day” is a failed attempt to capture our fascination with aliens and the spiritual consequences their disclosure might bring.
Why Catholic Bishops Love Islam
Recently the Archbishop of Detroit spoke of Islam as if he were himself a devout Muslim. Sadly, this is just the latest example in a decades-long love affair between the Catholic hierarchy and Islam.
What SSPX Supporters and Critics Each Get Wrong
The upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations have revealed the woeful state of Catholic catechesis, both from its critics and its supporters.
Is the SSPX Still Needed?
The SSPX says it needs to consecrate new bishops in order for it to survive. But that raises the question: does it really need to survive?
AI, Aliens, and Demons
Non-human intelligences including AI, aliens, and demons are in the news, and now a well-known exorcist has been removed from office for suggesting that alien sightings might actually be demonic in origin.
Initial Thoughts on Magnifica Humanitas
We take a look at Pope Leo’s highly anticipated encyclical on AI, which was released with much fanfare this week.
The Betrayal of MAGA
Thomas Massie’s defeat in his primary election shows that the Republican Party is Trump’s Party. But is that a good thing?
Against Catholic Zionism
A Catholic Zionist organization recently released a theologically-confused manifesto titled “For Zion’s Sake: A Catholic Appeal in Support of Israel.” We’ll break down what it got wrong, and what Catholics should—and should not—believe about the modern state of Israel.
How Catholic is the SSPX?
As the SSPX episcopal consecrations approach, both the Vatican and the Society are issuing battling statements. Is there hope for a reconciliation?
Pope Leo After One Year
Pope Leo just celebrated his first anniversary in the papal office. How’s he doing? How should Catholics evaluate a pope’s time in office? Should they even do so?
Two Religions in One Church
Since the 1960’s two separate religions—progressive Catholicism and traditional Catholicism—have co-existed within the one Catholic Church. What does this mean for the future of the Church?
Can Being Nice Save the World? (Guest: Robert Greving)
In an era of bombastic politicians and online personalities, being polite, nice, and courteous has taken a back seat. But today’s guest believes it should be front-and-center again, and that it’s essential to the Church’s mission to save souls.
