The Simple Truth

Time Is Running Out: A Final Warning to Pro-Life and Political Leaders (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 1/30/26

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 22:23:11 +0000

1/30/26 - In our final episode, Jim and Father Stephen Imbarrato confront what may be the most critical question facing the pro-life movement today: Is the window rapidly closing for our leaders to stand unequivocally for Constitutional personhood for the preborn? With abortion embedded in law, compromise strategies dominating the political landscape, and another election cycle approaching, the pressure is mounting on figures like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis—as well as prominent pro-life leaders such as Lila Rose and Kristan Hawkins—to move beyond half-measures and publicly defend the self-evident truth that every human being is a person from conception. This conversation challenges the moral failures of incrementalism, exposes the danger of political calculation over principle, and calls Catholics and Christians to demand clarity, courage, and consistency from those who claim to lead the pro-life cause. History is being written now. Silence and delay are no longer neutral. The question remains: who will rise to meet this moment before it’s too late?

Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity (Dr. Carrie Gress) - 1/29/26

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 22:28:27 +0000

1/29/26 - Jim sits down with author, philosopher, and scholar Dr. Carrie Gress to unpack her book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity from Sophia Institute Press, examining why modern feminist ideology—despite often appealing language about equality and empowerment—ultimately conflicts with the Christian understanding of the human person, vocation, marriage, and family. Drawing from history, philosophy, theology, and cultural analysis, Dr. Gress traces the roots of feminism, explaining how it reshaped ideas of womanhood, motherhood, sexuality, and power, and reveals why attempts to create a “Catholic feminism” fall short by substituting autonomy and resentment for truth, sacrifice, and love. The conversation also explores how feminist assumptions have quietly influenced Church life, education, and pastoral practice, why the ideology has become so persuasive even among believers, and how Catholics can respond with clarity and charity while remaining faithful to authentic Church teaching on dignity, equality, and true freedom. Dr. Gress challenges viewers to think critically about the cultural narratives shaping society today and invites them to rediscover the beauty and coherence of the Catholic vision for men and women rooted in Christ and ordered toward genuine human flourishing.

Blessed Jordan of Saxony: The Saint Who Rebuilt the Dominicans (Joanne Wright) - 1/28/26

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 22:19:38 +0000

1/28/26 - When St. Dominic died in 1221, the future of the newly founded Dominican Order was far from secure—but the man elected to succeed him, Blessed Jordan of Saxony, would prove decisive in shaping its destiny. We’ll examine how Jordan, a brilliant Paris-trained theologian and gifted preacher, preserved Dominic’s original vision while leading the Order through unprecedented growth, expanding Dominican houses across France, Italy, Germany, and beyond. Renowned for his warmth, clarity, and personal holiness, Jordan drew countless vocations—including future saints—by uniting doctrinal precision with genuine pastoral charity, especially among university students. Through his letters, preaching missions, and careful formation of friars, he defended religious discipline against laxity, resisted worldly pressures, and ensured that truth, study, and preaching remained at the heart of Dominican life. His leadership demonstrates that lasting renewal in the Church comes not from novelty or compromise, but from fidelity to tradition, courage in leadership, and holiness lived publicly and persuasively.

I’m a Man, and Abortion Nearly Destroyed Me (Sean Corcoran) - 1/27/26

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 22:47:17 +0000

1/27/26 - Abortion is often framed as a woman’s issue. In this raw and unfiltered Catholic testimony, Sean Corcoran, CEO of Men for Life, explains why that story is incomplete — and dangerously false. At 19 years old, Sean lost his first child to abortion. What followed wasn’t freedom or closure, but years of buried grief, guilt, and self-destruction. He speaks candidly about the silent damage abortion inflicts on men: the loss of fatherhood, the pressure to stay quiet, and the lie that men can simply “move on.” Sean shares how this unresolved wound contributed to addiction, instability, and spiritual collapse — and how God met him in that darkness with mercy, not condemnation. Through repentance, healing, and a return to the Catholic faith, Sean discovered that men are not bystanders in abortion, but participants who also need truth, responsibility, and redemption. Now a husband, father, adoptive father, and national pro-life leader, Sean challenges men to stop outsourcing abortion to women and start reclaiming their role as protectors of life. His testimony is a call to courage, accountability, and healing — for fathers, husbands, and sons who were never told this pain had a name.

They Said the Abortion Pill Was “Safe.” Here’s the Truth. (Pam Stenzel and Rachel Owen) - 1/26/26

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 22:34:41 +0000

1/26/26 - As chemical abortion pills rapidly replace in-clinic procedures, abortion is being reframed as a private, at-home “solution” that often leaves women physically vulnerable, emotionally overwhelmed, and cut off from real medical care. We're joined by friend of the show and longtime pro-life advocate Pam Stenzel and Rachel Owen, founder of Infinite Worth, for an unfiltered discussion on the realities of chemical abortion and the urgent need to reach women who take it. Drawing from firsthand experience walking with women before and after abortion, Pam and Rachel expose the misleading claims of safety and empowerment used to promote abortion pills, explain how the abortion industry profits from women’s isolation, and address the real risks, trauma, and regret many women experience in silence. They'll also examine how pro-lifers, families, clergy, and healthcare professionals can respond with clarity, courage, and authentic compassion, offering truth without compromise and mercy without judgment to women who are searching for help, healing, and hope.

How I Knew God Was Calling Me to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (Fr. Joseph Duffy, FSSP) - 1/20/26

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:00:00 +0000

1/20/26 - Fr. Joseph Duffy shares a candid and personal account of how God led him to the Catholic priesthood and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. Raised in a devout Catholic family in Massachusetts and educated at a small Catholic school run by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr. Duffy reflects on the formative years that quietly shaped his faith. He speaks honestly about the tension he experienced for years—imagining life as a husband and father while sensing a deeper call to the priesthood—and the unmistakable moment when God made His will clear. Now serving as Parochial Vicar at Corpus Christi Chapel in Naples, Florida, Fr. Duffy offers thoughtful, hard-won advice to anyone struggling with vocational discernment, sharing what helped him listen, wait, and finally say yes to the path God had prepared for him.

Boston Nativity Scandal: Priest Defies His Bishop, Police Remove Rosary-Praying Catholics, & More! (CJ Doyle) - 1/19/26

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 22:21:33 +0000

1/19/26 - The Archdiocese of Boston finds itself once again at the center of national controversy following a Dedham parish’s decision to remove the figures of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph from its Nativity scene and replace them with a political sign reading “ICE WAS HERE,” implying the Holy Family would have been detained by federal immigration authorities. In this interview, C. J. Doyle, Executive Director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, joins us to walk through the unfolding scandal at Saint Susanna Parish, where Pastor Fr. Stephen Josoma refused a direct order from Archbishop Richard Henning to remove what the archdiocese itself called “divisive political messaging,” demanded dialogue instead of obedience, and was ultimately permitted to leave the display in place throughout the Christmas season. The situation escalated when a small group of faithful Catholics—some elderly—gathered quietly to pray the Rosary in reparation near the church, only to have police called on them by parish staff, while the politicized Nativity display remained untouched. Doyle examines what these incidents reveal about disobedience, sacrilege, unequal enforcement of Church discipline, media pressure from secular outlets, and the long-standing influence of Boston’s political and cultural establishment on ecclesiastical decision-making. The conversation also widens to cover other significant developments affecting the Catholic Church in the Boston area, as Doyle explains the recent efforts of the Catholic Action League to defend orthodoxy, protect the faithful, and hold Church leadership accountable amid ongoing cultural and institutional challenges.

Why Not Personhood Now? The Question the Pro-Life Movement Avoids (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 1/16/26

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 22:28:17 +0000

1/16/26 - What does it really mean to defend life, and where, exactly, is the line being drawn? Jim Havens and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato offer a direct and unfiltered examination of the question many avoid asking: Why not personhood now? Moving beyond slogans and incremental talking points, they analyze specific clips and public statements from political leaders such as Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis alongside religious voices, including Pope Leo XIV, to expose how ambiguity, compromise, and strategic silence continue to shape the public conversation on abortion. Grounded in Catholic moral theology, natural law, and the Church’s consistent teaching on life from conception, the discussion presses into whether delayed personhood is a prudential strategy or a moral failure. With concrete examples, hard distinctions, and pastoral urgency, we challenge Catholics to examine whether defending the unborn “eventually” is compatible with proclaiming their full dignity now.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary & God’s Plan for America: Why the Message of Fatima Matters Today (Rex Teodosio) - 1/15/26

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 22:19:50 +0000

1/15/26 - One hundred years after the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima, the world is facing wars, moral collapse, and global upheaval exactly as she foretold, yet the core message of Fatima remains largely unknown and ignored. In this interview, Rex Teodosio discusses the TFP booklet The Immaculate Heart of Mary and God’s Plan for America, explaining the true meaning of Fatima, Our Lady’s warnings and promises, and the Heaven-sent solution she gave to restore peace and order in the world. We also examine why devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is essential today and what God’s plan for America may be in these critical times.

Fulton J. Sheen: Life, Legacy & the Road to Beatification (Joanne Wright) - 1/14/26

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 22:27:19 +0000

1/14/26 - We’ll tell the remarkable story of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, tracing his journey from a brilliant Midwestern seminarian to one of the most recognizable Catholic voices of the 20th century, and now a man on the brink of beatification. We look at Sheen’s years as a professor and preacher, his groundbreaking radio work on The Catholic Hour, and his Emmy-winning television program Life Is Worth Living, which drew millions of viewers each week with nothing more than a chalkboard, sharp wit, and unapologetic Catholic truth. We’ll also explore his deep interior life, including his lifelong commitment to daily Eucharistic Holy Hours, his service as a bishop and auxiliary to Cardinal Spellman, and the suffering he endured in fidelity to the Church. Finally, we’ll look at the key moments in his cause for sainthood, including the recognized miracle attributed to his intercession and the recent news renewing anticipation for his long-awaited beatification, explaining why Catholics around the world continually turn to Fulton Sheen today as a model of courage, clarity, and joyful evangelization in confusing times.

Don't Forget: Church History DIDN’T Start in the 1960s! (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 1/13/26

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:28:46 +0000

1/13/26 - Bishop Joseph Strickland issues a timely reminder to Catholics who may have been taught, implicitly or explicitly, that Church history effectively began in the 1960s. Drawing from his recent podcast episode titled “When the Council Becomes the Compass,” he challenges the tendency to treat Vatican II as a reset button rather than what it truly was: a moment within a living, continuous tradition stretching back to Christ and the Apostles. Bishop Strickland warns that when councils are treated as starting points instead of reference points, the Church risks losing her memory, her confidence, and her doctrinal clarity. With pastoral urgency and historical grounding, he calls the faithful to reclaim the fullness of Catholic identity rooted in Scripture, Tradition, the saints, and the enduring Deposit of Faith, reminding us that the Church does not reinvent herself every generation, but faithfully hands on what she has received.

Americans United for Life (John Mize) - 1/12/26

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 22:24:03 +0000

1/12/26 - The fight for life in America is increasingly being decided in courtrooms, legislatures, and the public square. We’re joined by John Mize, CEO of Americans United for Life, to discuss how pro-life laws are crafted, defended, and advanced across the nation, and why the legal system remains one of the most critical battlegrounds in protecting the unborn and the most vulnerable. Americans United for Life works to advance the human right to life by influencing culture, crafting law, and shaping public policy, equipping lawmakers and advocates with the tools needed to defend life at every stage. From the role of the Supreme Court to the long-term strategy required to build a culture that values every human person, this episode offers clarity, insight, and hope for those committed to restoring a culture of life rooted in dignity, solidarity, and love.

Our Mainstream Pro-Life Leaders Are STILL Getting It Wrong… (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 1/9/26

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 22:34:33 +0000

1/9/26 - Jim and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato examine the growing divide within the pro-life movement and to ask a question many are thinking but few are willing to say out loud: will mainstream pro-life leaders finally wake up? In the wake of Dobbs, abortion did not end - it was decentralized, entrenched in state law, expanded through chemical abortion, and increasingly protected by politicians who still receive support from major pro-life organizations. Jim and Fr. Imbarrato scrutinize the strategies, messaging, and moral frameworks embraced by national pro-life leadership, including incremental legislation, political endorsements, and the reluctance to clearly name abortion as an intrinsic evil demanding immediate abolition. Rooted firmly in Catholic moral theology, natural law, and the Church’s consistent teaching on the sanctity of human life, this conversation calls for repentance, reform, and renewed prophetic courage. Rather than settling for political access or partial victories, the hosts challenge Catholics to demand moral clarity, hold leaders accountable, and recommit to an authentic, uncompromised defense of the unborn.

Sexual Integrity Isn't Outdated... Young People Are Being Lied To (Pam Stenzel) - 1/8/26

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 22:53:25 +0000

1/8/26 - In a culture that relentlessly pushes confusion about love, sex, and identity, many young people are left wounded, disoriented, and searching for meaning. National speaker and author Pam Stenzel calls young people back to God’s original design for love, sexuality, and the human person. Drawing from decades of experience speaking to teens and young adults across the country, Pam addresses the real-world consequences of the sexual revolution, the false promises of hookup culture, and why chastity is not repression, but freedom. With clarity, compassion, and conviction, she explains how sexual integrity protects the dignity of the person, strengthens authentic relationships, and prepares young people for lifelong love. Pam challenges parents, educators, and youth alike to reject cultural lies and rediscover the beauty and purpose of God’s plan for sexuality.

St. Dominic Savio: A Saint for Young Catholics! (Joanne Wright) - 1/7/26

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 22:34:49 +0000

1/7/26 - St. Dominic Savio was not a monk, priest, or martyr: he was a joyful Italian teenager who believed sanctity was possible even in the noise and temptations of youth. Born in 1842, Dominic entered St. John Bosco’s Oratory of Valdocco at just 12 years old, where his cheerfulness, discipline, and deep love for God quickly set him apart. Known for his simple but demanding motto “Death, but not sin,” Dominic formed the Company of the Immaculate Conception, encouraged his classmates toward virtue, practiced frequent confession, and lived with an intense devotion to Our Lady and the Eucharist. Despite his short life, dying at only 14 years old from illness, St. Dominic Savio’s holiness left such a profound impression that St. John Bosco wrote his biography, paving the way for his canonization as one of the youngest non-martyr saints in Church history. We’ll examine how Dominic’s pursuit of holiness in everyday life challenges modern Catholics, especially young people, to aim higher, live joyfully, and take sainthood seriously.

How the Adoratio Foundation Is Leading A GLOBAL Eucharistic Adoration Movement! (Andrew Niewald) - 1/6/26

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 22:52:30 +0000

1/6/26 - A worldwide renewal is taking place through Eucharistic Adoration, and the Adoratio Foundation is helping lead that movement by placing Jesus truly present in the Eucharist at the heart of parish and diocesan life. In this conversation, Andrew Niewald, President of the Adoratio Foundation, explains how the Foundation works directly with parishes and dioceses to establish perpetual adoration chapels, expand weekly and extended adoration hours, and provide hands-on guidance, planning, and funding to ensure long-term sustainability. Andrew shares how Adoratio’s model emphasizes measurable growth in participation, spiritual accountability, and lay leadership, all aimed at fostering deeper conversion, renewed parish vitality, increased vocations, and a culture of peace rooted in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. This discussion highlights how Eucharistic Adoration is becoming a global force for renewal in the Church and how faithful Catholics can take part in this growing movement.

From Brokenness to Peace: A Catholic Guide to True Healing (Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR) - 1/5/26

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 22:32:36 +0000

1/5/26 - Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR, reflects on the Catholic understanding of healing as a journey that engages the whole person—heart, mind, body, and soul. He explores how wounds formed by sin, suffering, trauma, and regret can leave lasting effects, and how Christ patiently draws the wounded into truth, mercy, and restoration. Drawing from Scripture, the sacramental life of the Church, and pastoral experience, Fr. Francis Mary explains why healing often unfolds gradually and how surrender, honesty, and trust in God open the way to lasting peace. This episode offers encouragement to anyone seeking renewal, hope, and deeper freedom in Christ.

Servant of God Julia Greeley: From Slavery to Sainthood (Joanne Wright) - 12/31/25

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 22:23:58 +0000

12/31/25 - Born into slavery in Missouri, scarred for life by violence, and left with only one working eye, Julia Greeley arrived in Denver with nothing the world would call success. What she did have was an unshakable love for Jesus Christ, especially present in the Blessed Sacrament, and a tireless devotion to the poor. Known for walking the streets at night so she wouldn’t embarrass those receiving her help, Julia quietly gave food, clothing, and comfort to families who had nothing to offer in return. Her deep love for the Sacred Heart and her daily presence at Mass shaped a life of hidden holiness that transformed an entire city. In this episode, we reflect on the extraordinary faith, suffering, and charity of Servant of God Julia Greeley, a woman the world overlooked, but heaven did not.

What Is Marriage According to the Catholic Church? (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 12/30/25

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 23:11:41 +0000

12/30/25 - Bishop Joseph Strickland joins us to unpack the truth about marriage in light of his pastoral reflection “Una Caro, One Flesh: A Shepherd’s Word on Marriage,” responding to confusion surrounding the Church’s witness to this sacred vocation; he reaffirms that marriage is not a cultural construct or merely a stable relationship, but a divine institution rooted in Genesis and raised to the dignity of a sacrament by Christ, where a man and woman freely give themselves to become “one flesh,” reflecting the exclusive, lifelong, indissoluble, and fruitful union instituted by God, and warns against subtle shifts that emphasize relational stability or pastoral accommodation over the supernatural reality and sacrificial demands of Christian marriage; with Scripture, magisterial teaching, and pastoral clarity, Bishop Strickland calls the faithful to embrace the fullness of Church teaching — fidelity, openness to life, and sacrificial love — not as burdens, but as the path to holiness and true human flourishing in Christ.

Entering Canaan: Healing Hearts After Abortion (Theresa Bonopartis) - 12/29/25

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 22:43:46 +0000

Rooted in the mercy of Jesus Christ and faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church, Entering Canaan provides compassionate support for women and men who are seeking healing, reconciliation, and spiritual restoration. Theresa explains how Entering Canaan offers hope through retreats, spiritual accompaniment, pastoral counseling, and a faith-filled community that walks with individuals on their journey toward peace. The discussion highlights the Church’s mission of mercy, the power of forgiveness, and how authentic healing is possible through God’s grace.

12/11/25 - Join us for an inspiring conversation with Derek Rotty, author of Praying with Sacred Art: Pondering the Mystery of Redemption Through Visio Divina, as we explore how beauty draws the soul to Christ and how sacred art can become a powerful doorway into contemplative prayer. In this interview, Derek explains the roots of visio divina, the harmony of truth, goodness, and beauty in the Catholic spiritual life, and how sacred images can shape the way we enter into the mysteries of the liturgical year. He shares practical guidance for praying with art, approaching Scripture through visual meditation, and allowing sacred masterpieces to form the imagination toward holiness. Whether you’re seeking a richer prayer life, a deeper appreciation of beauty, or a new way to encounter the Lord, this conversation will help you see how sacred art can transform your devotion and open your heart to Christ.

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 21:00:00 +0000

12/9/25 - Nathan Loyd shares the remarkable journey that carried him from a childhood fascination with science to studying aerospace engineering at the University of Notre Dame, serving in the United States Air Force (where he continues to serve in the reserves), and ultimately becoming a lawyer defending life and religious liberty with the Thomas More Society. Nathan reflects on how God pursued him through each stage of his life, how his love for truth and the order of creation deepened his Catholic faith, and why he now uses his gifts to protect the Church and the most vulnerable. His story weaves together science, service, and steadfast faith, offering a compelling witness for anyone discerning God's call in their own life.

Pro-Lifers Betrayed: The Leadership Crisis No One Wants to Admit (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 12/5/25

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 21:00:00 +0000

12/5/25 - We take an honest look at the crossroads facing the pro-life movement and why bold, unflinching leadership is now more critical than ever. With the Trump administration showing a willingness to cast pro-lifers aside, the need for powerful voices like Lila Rose and Kristan Hawkins has never been greater; voices willing not only to lead, but to lead loudly, consistently, and publicly without fear of political backlash. We discuss why their platforms, courage, and clarity are essential in a moment when many are staying silent, and why the pro-life movement cannot win without leaders who step forward, speak plainly, and refuse to back down. This is a call for the strongest advocates in the movement to amplify their voices even more, because the side with the boldest and most principled leadership will ultimately shape the future.

Abortion Is Unconstitutional: Making the Legal Case (Allan Parker) - 12/4/25

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 22:26:12 +0000

12/4/25 - Allan Parker, President of The Justice Foundation and former legal counsel for Norma McCorvey ("Roe") and Sandra Cano ("Doe"), returns to unpack the argument that abortion is fundamentally unconstitutional. Parker lays out the original meaning of the Constitution, explains how Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton were built on legal and historical distortions, and shows why the Supreme Court's own later rulings expose the weaknesses of those decisions. He also discusses the roles of due process, equal protection, and the rights of the unborn in building a clear legal case for life, while sharing The Justice Foundation's ongoing work to defend the most vulnerable.

Who Is Brother Marcel Van? The Hidden Saint of Vietnam (Joanne Wright) - 12/3/25

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:34:26 +0000

12/3/25 - Brother Marcel Van, a Vietnamese Redemptorist known as the "Apostle of Love," grew up in a small Catholic village in northern Vietnam, where he experienced a profound personal conversion to Christ as a child. Embracing radical humility and mystical intimacy with God, he followed St. Thérèse of Lisieux's "Little Way," dedicating himself as the "heart of priests" through prayer, suffering, and love for the spiritual growth of others. Imprisoned after voluntarily returning to communist‑ruled North Vietnam, Marcel ministered to fellow prisoners and maintained unwavering faith under persecution until his death in 1959. His mystical visions, writings, and heroic witness continue to inspire, and his cause for beatification highlights a life of simplicity, love, and total self‑surrender.

When Expecting Doesn’t Happen: Turning Infertility into a Journey of Hope (Dr. Marie Meaney) - 12/2/25

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 22:43:57 +0000

12/2/25 - Jim sits down with Dr. Marie Meaney to discuss her book "When Expecting Doesn't Happen: Turning Infertility into a Journey of Hope." As a bioethicist, Dr. Meaney brings a wealth of knowledge on the ethical, medical, and spiritual dimensions of infertility and reproductive technologies. In this episode, she explores the journey of infertility and secondary infertility, how couples can navigate emotional and spiritual challenges, and ways friends and family can provide meaningful support. We'll also discuss natural fertility treatments, including NaProTechnology, and the potential risks and ethical concerns surrounding in vitro fertilization. Dr. Meaney offers insight into the theology of reproductive medicine, shares practical strategies for maintaining hope and resilience, and highlights how couples can find grace and spiritual growth even amidst the disappointments of infertility. This conversation provides a comprehensive guide for couples and supporters seeking understanding, guidance, and hope on the path toward parenthood.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (Dr. Joseph Meaney) - 12/1/25

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 22:36:15 +0000

12/1/25 - Dr. Joseph Meaney, Senior Fellow of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, examines the growing threats posed by artificial intelligence to human dignity, conscience, and the moral order. He warns that AI-driven technologies, if left unchecked, risk reducing human life to data, replacing personal responsibility with automated decision-making, and undermining the ethical foundations of medicine and society. Drawing on Catholic teaching, Dr. Meaney explains why a strong bioethical framework is essential to confront these challenges, defend the sanctity of life, and ensure technology serves humanity rather than dominates it.

Who Was Maria Esperanza? Visions, Miracles & Catholic Mysticism (Joanne Wright) - 11/26/25

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 23:02:37 +0000

11/26/25 - Maria Esperanza de Bianchini was born on November 22, 1928, in Barrancas, Venezuela, and from the age of five experienced mystical visions, including Thérèse of Lisieux appearing from the Orinoco River and giving her a red rose. At twelve, gravely ill, she saw the Our Lady of the Valley, who foretold her mission to "help save this world," after which her health was miraculously restored. Though she entered a convent in 1954, a vision involving a rose and the stigmata revealed her true vocation as a wife and mother, and she later founded Finca Betania, where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared publicly beginning in 1976. Credited with extraordinary gifts—mystical visions, reading hearts, bilocation, and roses spontaneously emerging from her chest—she also founded the Betania Foundation to promote evangelization, family unity, and spiritual renewal. Maria Esperanza died on August 7, 2004, and in 2010 the Church formally opened her cause for beatification, granting her the title "Servant of God," leaving a legacy of faith, prayer, and divine intimacy that continues to inspire believers worldwide.

The USCCB Incident and the Truth About Vatican II (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 11/25/25

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 22:23:06 +0000

11/25/25 - Bishop Joseph Strickland unpacks his pastoral letter, "The Truth About Vatican II", revealing that while the Council was born from holy intentions, it was also shaped by human frailty and deliberate infiltration that has contributed to widespread confusion in the Church. He explains how many of Vatican II's ambiguous teachings have been twisted into a "spirit of rupture" that undermines the Church's timeless doctrine and calls for a hermeneutic of continuity, reading the Council through the lens of Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium rather than as a break in the Deposit of Faith. Bishop Strickland also reflects on his recent interactions at the annual USCCB meeting in Baltimore, where he boldly spoke out on pressing issues facing the Church and called for episcopal clarity on matters of faith, liturgy, and moral truth. Throughout the discussion, he emphasizes the need for reverent worship, fidelity to doctrine, and courageous leadership in an age of confusion.

The Truth About Post-Abortion Trauma — And God’s Plan for Healing (Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR) - 11/24/25

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 22:35:01 +0000

11/24/25 - Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR, joins us to address the deep wounds and hidden suffering experienced by women and men after abortion. With compassion, clarity, and the heart of a true shepherd, Fr. Roaldi explains why no sin is beyond God's mercy, how Christ longs to restore every soul, and what the Church offers for real healing—from the Sacrament of Confession to ministries like Rachel's Vineyard and post-abortion counseling. Whether you are seeking healing yourself or hoping to support someone you love, this conversation will remind you that God never abandons His children and that peace, forgiveness, and restoration are truly possible.

Personhood Rising: A Catholic Call to Defend Every Human Life (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 11/21/25

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 22:38:21 +0000

11/21/26 - We explore the growing movement for legal and spiritual recognition of every pre-born child as a human person made in the image of God. As personhood becomes an increasingly urgent topic in the public square, we reflect on the Church's clear and unwavering teaching that human life must be protected from the moment of conception. We also highlight recent signs of hope, such as the National Men's March in Boston, where faithful men gathered to pray, repent, and publicly witness to the dignity of unborn children. We examine why personhood matters, how Catholics can effectively articulate the truth in a culture confused about the value of human life, and what concrete steps believers can take to build a society that recognizes, protects, and cherishes every human person, no matter how small.

Embryo Adoption Explained: Moral Questions Every Catholic Must Understand (Dr. Elizabeth Rex) - 11/17/25

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:32:25 +0000

11/17/25 - Dr. Elizabeth Rex, president and co-founder of the Children First Foundation and one of the nation's leading advocates for "snowflake" embryo adoption, joins us for an in-depth Catholic examination of the moral questions surrounding the rescue and implantation of frozen embryos. Drawing on decades of pro-life research and testimony, Dr. Rex explains how embryo adoption developed in response to the explosion of IVF practices that left hundreds of thousands of tiny human beings abandoned in cryogenic storage, and she walks through the key points of contention within Catholic moral theology, including debates sparked by Dignitas Personae, concerns about whether adoption constitutes illicit "heterologous procreation," and the moral distinction between creating embryos versus rescuing already existing ones. She discusses real cases of families who have adopted embryos, the pastoral questions couples face, the urgent need for clarity as IVF expands in the United States, and why she believes embryo adoption represents a life-affirming and morally defensible response to the crisis of frozen human persons.

Bishop Joseph Strickland Speaks Up to the USCCB… And Gets Ignored (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 11/14/25

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 22:37:04 +0000

11/14/25 - We examine Bishop Joseph Strickland speaking out during the USCCB fall assembly about a confirmation liturgy on 8 November in which Gio Benítez - in a civil same‑sex marriage - was confirmed, his spouse acted as sponsor, and both received Holy Communion at a Mass concelebrated by James Martin, S.J. Bishop Strickland told the Committee on Doctrine, "Since we're in the area of doctrine… priests and others gathered celebrating the confirmation of a man living with a man openly. And it just needs to be addressed." Despite his appeal, the panel offered no response and moved on, leaving many observers concerned about the silence on such a serious doctrinal matter. We'll explore the theological and canonical issues raised, why faithful Catholics may feel persecuted from within, and what this could mean for bishops, sacramental integrity, and accountability in the Church.

We discuss the emotional, spiritual, and even marital challenges that accompany infertility, and how faith transforms that suffering into a path toward deeper intimacy with God. Ann explains how Springs in the Desert creates community through retreats, podcasts, and resources that affirm the dignity of couples and remind them that their fruitfulness isn't limited to biological parenthood but can flourish in countless spiritual and creative ways.

Venerable Patrick Peyton: How One Priest’s Rosary Revolution Changed the World (Joanne Wright) - 11/12/25

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

11/12/25 - Venerable Patrick Peyton was a priest whose devotion to the rosary reached millions worldwide. Born in 1909 in Ireland and later emigrating to the United States, Fr. Peyton experienced the hardships of immigrant life, which shaped his mission to strengthen families through prayer. As the founder of the Family Rosary Crusade, he used radio, television, and film to bring the rosary into homes, emphasizing that daily prayer can unite families and communities. His famous motto, "The family that prays together stays together," reflects his belief in prayer as a foundation for family life. We'll follow his journey from humble beginnings to global ministry, highlighting his faith, perseverance, and innovative approach to evangelization, showing how his message continues to inspire Catholic families to make prayer a central part of daily life.

Inside the National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion: Boston 2025 Recap (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 11/7/25

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 22:24:40 +0000

11/7/25 - Jim Havens and Father Stephen Imbarrato, co-founders of the National Men's March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood, look back on a powerful weekend in Boston, Massachusetts — a gathering of thousands of men of faith who marched, prayed, and publicly witnessed to the truth that abortion is the preeminent moral crisis of our time. Jim and Father Imbarrato share firsthand accounts from the event, including moments of deep prayer and repentance and bold preaching on the streets of Boston. They reflect on how the men's public witness is awakening hearts, inspiring conversion, and calling the Church to greater courage in defending the unborn. From the opening prayers outside the Planned Parenthood clinic to the mass march and the rally in Boston Common, this recap captures the energy, unity, and spiritual conviction that marked the weekend. The hosts also discuss what's next for the Men's March movement and issue a call to action for men across the country to rise up, take responsibility, and lead their families and communities in the defense of life.

Settling Differences Between Catholics and Protestants (Dr. Adam Van Wart) - 11/6/25

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 22:45:45 +0000

11/6/25 - Many of the sharpest divisions between Catholics and Protestants trace back not to Scripture itself, but to how words and ideas have been interpreted across centuries of separation. Dr. Adam Van Wart, professor of theology at Ave Maria University, unpacks the roots of these misunderstandings and offers a path forward rooted in truth and charity. Dr. Van Wart explains how key debates - such as faith alone versus faith and works, Scripture alone versus Sacred Tradition, and the role of the Church's magisterial authority - often stem from differences in emphasis and historical context rather than outright contradiction. Drawing upon the writings of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and early Reformers like Luther and Calvin, he demonstrates how theological language developed in response to real pastoral concerns, and how those differences became hardened into divisions over time. If you've ever wondered why Christians still struggle to understand one another after 500 years of dialogue, or how we might finally move toward genuine unity in Christ, this episode offers a thoughtful, hopeful vision rooted in history, theology, and the enduring witness of the Church.

The Schoolteacher Who Bore the Wounds of Christ: Teresa Higginson’s Hidden Holiness (Joanne Wright) - 11/5/25

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 22:42:51 +0000

11/5/25 - Teresa Helena Higginson (1844‑1905), born in Holywell, Wales, spent her life as a humble schoolteacher while living a remarkable hidden sanctity. From her childhood in a devout Catholic family to her work in schools across Wigan, Bootle, and Edinburgh, she quietly bore suffering, illness, and the challenges of teaching with unwavering faith. On Good Friday 1874, she received the first of her mystical stigmata (bleeding wounds in her hands and feet), and experienced repeated ecstasies in which she shared in the Passion of Christ. Teresa also promoted a deep devotion to the "Sacred Head of Jesus, Seat of Divine Wisdom." Declared "Servant of God" in 1937, her life shows the extraordinary ways holiness can exist in ordinary daily work, patient suffering, and total union with Christ.

How One Catholic Theologian Found God Through Augustine and Thomas Aquinas (Dr. Gerald Boersma) - 11/4/25

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 22:44:39 +0000

11/4/25 - Dr. Gerald P. Boersma, Professor of Theology at Ave Maria University and Humboldt Fellow at the University of Tübingen, shares his personal journey of faith, scholarship, and conversion of heart through the wisdom of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. In this conversation, Dr. Boersma reflects on how studying the Church Fathers and the great scholastics deepened his love for Christ and the Catholic Church, transforming theology from an academic pursuit into a lived encounter with Truth Himself. From his work as a Catholic systematic theologian and author of Augustine's Early Theology of Image (Oxford, 2016) to his reflections on faith, reason, and the image of God in man, this testimony reveals how intellectual formation and spiritual devotion can beautifully unite in the pursuit of holiness.

How Frank Duff and the Legion of Mary Transformed the Catholic Church (Joanne Wright) - 10/29/25

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 21:31:41 +0000

10/29/25 - Servant of God Frank Duff (1889–1980) was an Irish layman whose deep love for the Blessed Virgin Mary led to the founding of the Legion of Mary in Dublin in 1921. Rooted in the spirituality of St. Louis de Montfort, Duff encouraged ordinary Catholics to become apostles through prayer, humility, and personal outreach. His vision transformed lay involvement in the Church, inspiring millions across the world to serve Christ through Mary. Duff worked tirelessly among Dublin's poor, homeless, and marginalized, seeing in each person the image of God. His collaborators, Venerable Edel Quinn and Servant of God Alfie Lambe, carried the Legion's mission to Africa and Latin America, helping it spread to nearly every corner of the globe. Frank Duff later attended the Second Vatican Council as an observer, where his vision for the laity was affirmed by Church leaders. His cause for canonization continues, honoring a man whose quiet faith reshaped the modern Catholic apostolate.

Cardinal Cupich, Pope Leo & the Fight for Life (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 10/28/25

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 21:53:54 +0000

10/28/25 - Join us for a powerful and timely conversation with Bishop Joseph Strickland as he addresses the Catholic Church's moral duty to speak clearly and forcefully against abortion. Drawing from his recent pastoral letter, "Before I Formed You in the Womb, I Knew You," Bishop Strickland responds to Pope Leo XIV's recent remarks and the controversy surrounding Cardinal Cupich's decision to honor Senator Dick Durbin despite Durbin's well-known support for Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion entities. Bishop Strickland underscores why abortion remains the preeminent moral issue of our time and why silence or ambiguity from Church leaders endangers both souls and society. With conviction and pastoral charity, he calls all Catholics to stand firm in truth, hold leaders accountable, and courageously witness to the Gospel of Life in a culture increasingly hostile to it.

Meet the Lawyer Who Helped ”Roe” Find Redemption — and Changed History While Doing It (Allan Parker Jr.) - 10/27/25

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 21:41:37 +0000

10/27/25 - We're joined by Allan Parker Jr., President of The Justice Foundation, as he shares the history, mission, and spiritual conviction behind one of America's most influential pro-life legal ministries. Founded in 1993, The Justice Foundation provides free legal representation to protect life, faith, and family while defending the constitutional and moral foundations of our nation. Parker, who served as lead counsel for Norma McCorvey ("Roe" of Roe v. Wade) and Sandra Cano ("Doe" of Doe v. Bolton), discusses his efforts to overturn the rulings that legalized abortion on demand, and how those cases shaped the pro-life movement for generations. The conversation explores the Foundation's ministries, including Operation Outcry, which gathers testimonies from women hurt by abortion to influence courts and legislatures; The Moral Outcry, a national petition campaign to awaken America's conscience; and the Center Against Forced Abortion (CAFA), which equips and defends mothers pressured into abortions, saving an estimated 1,000–2,000 babies each year. Parker also reflects on his background as a law professor and human rights advocate, and how The Justice Foundation's work unites faith, law, and culture in the pursuit of justice and truth.

Tucker Carlson GOES OFF on Abortion At Turning Point USA Event at Indiana University! (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 10/24/25

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 21:24:19 +0000

10/24/25 - Jim and Father Imbarrato faithfully unpack remarks made by Tucker Carlson at a Turning Point USA campus event at Indiana University, in which he characterized abortion as "murder… the same ritual that every civilization ever studied has engaged in… human sacrifice," and asserted that "the only thing that matters is having children" in contrast to pursuing career ambitions. We'll examine how his sharp language, inviting students to watch an abortion video, calling termination "the most crazed level of fanaticism I've ever seen," and challenging the "my body, my choice" rationale, intersects with Catholic teaching on the dignity of human life. Could blunt but honest remarks such as these be the answer to a culture increasingly desensitized to violence of all kinds?

Incorruptible: The Life and Faith of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster (Royce Hood) - 10/23/25

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0000

10/23/25 - Catholic filmmaker Royce Hood shares the extraordinary story behind Incorruptible: The Life and Faith of Sister Wilhelmina, a new Catholic film that explores the miraculous discovery and profound holiness of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, foundress of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. When her body was discovered remarkably preserved four years after her death in 2019, the world turned its attention to the quiet Missouri abbey she founded, but this film reveals that the true miracle began long before then in a lifetime of joy, humility, and fidelity to the traditional religious life. Born in 1924 in St. Louis, Sister Wilhelmina's deep love for Jesus and devotion to the Blessed Mother led her to found a flourishing community dedicated to prayer and sacred song. Incorruptible traces her journey from a young Catholic girl hearing Christ's invitation, "Will you be Mine?", to becoming a spiritual mother whose witness continues to draw souls back to faith. Royce Hood discusses how the project began, what makes Sister Wilhelmina's story so timely, and how this film aims to honor her legacy and inspire a renewal of faith around the world.

Meet John Bradburne: The Devoted Poet Whose Life Ended in Service to Lepers! (Joanne Wright) - 10/22/25

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 21:26:26 +0000

10/22/25 - John Bradburne's journey from England to the heart of Africa is a story unlike any other. A decorated World War II veteran and Oxford-educated poet, he spent years wandering through Europe and the Holy Land in search of God's will. His path ultimately led him to Zimbabwe, where he devoted himself to caring for men and women with Hansen's disease at the Mutemwa Leprosy Settlement. Living in a tin hut with a rosary in hand and the Eucharist at the center of his life, John restored dignity to those society had abandoned. When he refused to abandon the lepers during the Rhodesian Bush War, he was kidnapped and killed in 1979, dying as he had lived in fidelity to Christ. Today, with thousands of documented favors through his intercession, John Bradburne's cause for canonization is advancing, and he is remembered as a modern pilgrim-poet and martyr of charity.

This Catholic Bioethicist Traveled to 81 Countries Defending Life — Here’s What He Learned (Dr. Joseph Meaney) - 10/21/25

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 21:50:56 +0000

With over 25 years of pro-life missions in 81 countries, Dr. Meaney reflects on the moments that deepened his faith, shaped his worldview, and solidified his conviction that the Gospel of Life must be lived and proclaimed in every culture. This is the inspiring story of a Catholic scholar who chose to use his intellect and his heart to serve God and defend human dignity across the globe.

Virginia Governor Race 2025: What’s at Stake for the Pro-Life Movement (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 10/17/25

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 21:22:11 +0000

10/17/25 - Virginia's governor's race has become one of the most consequential political battles in the country, not just for partisan control, but for the future of pro-life protections in the Commonwealth. At the heart of the race is a stark contrast between candidates who promise to increase abortion access up to birth and those who have pledged to defend the unborn with concrete legislative action. We go beyond soundbites to examine the real policies at stake: late-term abortion legislation, taxpayer funding for abortion providers, parental consent laws, and conscience protections for medical professionals. We'll unpack how this race could either strengthen Virginia's emerging pro-life momentum or cement its reputation as a haven for abortion extremism. Drawing from Catholic social teaching and the witness of the faithful, we'll look at what faithful citizenship demands in moments like these, why this particular race is being watched nationwide, and how Catholics can engage not just with a vote, but with prayer, public witness, and courage. This isn't just another election; it's a defining moment for life in Virginia.

This weekend, the shrine will host a powerful event featuring the exposition of sacred relics and a 7-mile Eucharistic procession that invites the faithful to deepen their devotion and bear public witness to the Real Presence. Whether you're a local pilgrim or discovering this shrine for the first time, today's show will inspire you to encounter Christ in a place where faith was tested, proven, and forever remembered.

We'll explore what faithful Catholics can do to confront this cultural and legislative war with moral clarity, courage, and strategic action.

Cardinal Cupich Honors Pro-Abortion Senator and America’s Catholic Bishops Have Had ENOUGH! (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/26/25

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 21:28:08 +0000

9/26/25 - We'll unpack the growing backlash against Cardinal Blase Cupich's decision to honor Senator Dick Durbin, a politician with a long record of supporting abortion. With seven U.S. bishops now speaking out against the award, this controversy raises urgent questions about scandal, unity, and the Church's public witness. Jim and Father Imbarrato bring a strong pro-life perspective to the discussion, examining why honoring a pro-abortion leader undermines Catholic teaching, how the bishops are responding, and what faithful Catholics can do to defend life and truth in a culture of confusion.

The Shot That Shook the Church (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 9/25/25

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 21:29:35 +0000

9/25/25 - In this powerful episode, we sit down with Bishop Joseph Strickland to discuss his recent pastoral letter "The Shot That Shook the Church," published on Pillars of Faith. When a bold Protestant voice was suddenly silenced, many Catholics found themselves looking outside the Church for courage, and Bishop Strickland challenges us to ask why the Bride of Christ has grown timid and why the world now looks elsewhere for prophets and heroes. Together we explore the spiritual and cultural implications of this event, the Church's response and missed opportunities, the urgent need for renewed courage and bold Christian witness, and practical steps for rekindling the fire of faith in our time.

What Does it Really Mean to be a Christian Today? (Dr. Jim Papandrea) - 9/22/25

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 21:26:50 +0000

9/22/25 - What if the Church was never meant to stay frozen in time, nor blown around by it? In this conversation, Dr. Jim Papandrea unpacks his latest work The Original Church, cutting through the noise of "tradition versus trend" to rediscover what Jesus actually intended when He said, "On this rock I will build my Church." The earliest Christians weren't stuck in the past, nor chasing cultural relevance - they were rooted in Christ, growing in faith, and guided by a clear purpose. Dr. Papandrea reveals how the Church can develop without drifting, grow without losing its core, and how each believer today can live with conviction and clarity in a world that constantly shifts around us.

What Amy Coney Barrett’s Book Reveals About Roe, Life & the Constitution (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/19/25

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 21:33:52 +0000

9/19/25 - Jim and Father Imbarrato take a deep dive into Justice Amy Coney Barrett's new book, Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and Constitution. With sharp Catholic insight, they unpack what Barrett reveals - and what she leaves unsaid - about the sanctity of life, constitutional interpretation, and the future of the pro-life movement. Drawing on past public clips and speeches, we'll compare Barrett's earlier statements to her current writings, asking whether her messaging has shifted since joining the Supreme Court. Does her book provide real hope for ending abortion in America, or does it reflect the cautious language of judicial restraint?

Faith and Film: 100 Movies Every Catholic Should Watch! (Samuel Morales) - 9/15/25

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 21:38:28 +0000

9/15/25 - We sit down with Samuel Morales, one of the creators behind The Official List of 100 Movies Every Catholic Should See, a two-year project that brings together films from across genres, eras, and cultures to highlight stories that resonate with the Catholic imagination. More than just a "religious movie list," the project explores how both explicitly faith-based films and secular classics can reveal truth, beauty, goodness, and the drama of human virtue and vice. We discuss how cinema, through its art, storytelling, and emotional power, can form the imagination, spark deeper reflection, and even aid in evangelization by helping Catholics become discerning viewers rather than passive consumers. From timeless masterpieces like Star Wars to modern blockbusters like The Dark Knight, the list challenges audiences to see film not just as entertainment but as a way of encountering moral and spiritual truths that speak directly to the human heart.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated: The Grave Consequences of the American Culture of Death (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/12/25

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 21:20:56 +0000

9/12/25 - When Charlie Kirk was tragically shot in Utah, America witnessed more than a political assassination: we saw the devastating fruits of a culture of death that has been eroding the dignity of human life for decades. The culture that normalizes the killing of the unborn through abortion, that justifies euthanasia, and that numbs us to daily violence is the same culture that made such an act possible. As Catholics, we are called to recognize the spiritual roots of this crisis: when society rejects God and the sanctity of life, no one is safe. In this video, we reflect on how political violence is connected to abortion and other assaults on human dignity, why the Church insists on the inviolable worth of every person from conception to natural death, and how we must respond with both truth and charity. The tragedy in Utah is a sobering reminder that the pro-life mission is not optional - it is more urgent now than ever before.

Great Books for Good Men: Reflections on Literature and Manhood (Joseph Pearce) - 9/11/25

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 21:36:33 +0000

9/11/25 - Catholic author Joseph Pearce discusses his new book Great Books for Good Men: Reflections on Literature and Manhood, originally commissioned by Exodus 90. Pearce reflects on how the treasures of classic literature, from Homer and Dante to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, can shape Catholic men into virtuous, courageous, and holy human beings. He explains what inspired the book, how works such as The Odyssey, The Divine Comedy, Beowulf, and Hamlet remain relevant today, and why literature is a powerful guide for forming virtues like humility, courage, chastity, and wisdom. In a culture that often misunderstands masculinity, swinging between toxic extremes and weakness, Pearce shows how the great authors offer an alternative vision of authentic manhood rooted in the Catholic tradition. Great Books for Good Men is more than a literary reflection; it is a roadmap for men striving for virtue, holiness, and authentic self-giving.

Yvonne-Aimée of Jesus: Miracles, Visions, and Courage in World War II (Joanne Wright) - 9/10/25

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 21:35:31 +0000

9/10/25 - Yvonne-Aimée of Jesus (1901–1951) was a French mystic, visionary, and Augustinian nun whose hidden holiness shook the 20th century. From a young age she experienced mystical visions of Christ and the Virgin Mary, later becoming known for miraculous healings and the powerful prayer she received from Jesus: "O Jesus, King of Love, I put my trust in Thy merciful goodness." During World War II, she fearlessly hid members of the French Resistance and Jewish refugees from the Gestapo inside her convent, narrowly escaping arrest and torture. After the war, she became Mother Superior of the Augustinian monastery in Malestroit, where her life of heroic charity, extraordinary mystical gifts, and devotion to the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy inspired countless souls. In this episode, we explore her visions, miracles, prophecies, and her witness of courage in Nazi-occupied France. Yvonne-Aimée of Jesus stands as a radiant example of Eucharistic devotion, Marian consecration, and trust in God's mercy amidst suffering.

From Questions to Conversion: Why I Chose the Catholic Church (Rob Marco) - 9/9/25

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 21:31:49 +0000

9/9/25 - As a teenager, Rob Marco was restless and searching. Drawn at times to Buddhism, philosophy, and the hardcore music scene, he longed for answers to life's biggest questions: Why am I here? What is truth? Where can real peace be found? Yet every pursuit seemed to leave him empty. Then, through a few surprising moments, Rob realized that God was not distant, but present and personal. Those encounters began to stir something deeper, setting him on a path he never expected: toward Christ and the Catholic Church. Rob shares how God worked through restlessness, doubt, and even moments of fear to awaken faith in his heart, as what started as a search for meaning became a discovery of the One who is Truth itself.

UN Calls to Ban Surrogacy, Trump Abandons IVF, and Texas Cracks Down on Abortion Pills! (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/5/25

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 21:31:00 +0000

9/5/25 - UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem has released a major report urging all 193 UN member states to ban surrogacy, exposing exploitation in the billion-dollar industry where women often receive only 10–25% of fees and face serious health risks like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, as well as the trauma of being separated from their children. At the same time, the Trump administration is backing away from IVF mandates and promoting Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM), a controversial alternative that emphasizes lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and surgery; critics warn it delays effective treatment, while groups like the Heritage Foundation push new laws, with Arkansas already requiring insurance coverage. In Texas, lawmakers are cracking down on chemical abortion pill trafficking, stepping up enforcement as abortion access shifts online. Stay tuned for Catholic analysis and pro-life commentary on the latest developments shaping the future of life, family, and faith!

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 21:38:31 +0000

9/4/25 - Catholic author and journalist Kevin Wells returns to share two modern miracle stories shaking the Church today. First, the inspiring witness of Fr. John Hollowell, who in 2018 offered his sufferings for victims of abuse, enduring seizures, a brain tumor, and depression before experiencing a remarkable healing at Lourdes now under investigation. Then, Kevin tells the story of Fr. Jonathan Meyer, whose Indiana parish, once near closure, has been transformed into one of the most vibrant Catholic communities in America, modeled after the zeal of St. John Vianney. In this powerful interview, we explore how God is bringing renewal through both suffering and revival, and what these miracles reveal about the future of the Catholic Church.

My Journey to Becoming a Franciscan Friar (Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR) - 9/2/25

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 21:34:49 +0000

9/2/25 - Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal serving in the Diocese of Paterson, New Jersey, shares how his ordinary childhood in suburban Buffalo, once filled with simple dreams like Spider-Man and garbage trucks, slowly gave way to a restless search for meaning that ultimately led him to the priesthood. Though raised Catholic, faith wasn't central to his youth, and during college he drifted into depression and uncertainty until a providential conversation with a friend who "knew Jesus like a person" awakened him to the reality of God's love. From there, his journey took many turns: wrestling with relationships, questioning his place in the Church, and working as a caseworker in New York City before encountering the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. In the stillness of a chapel, he heard the life-changing invitation to "be a priest," a call he embraced after years of prayer and discernment. Now, with over seven years of priesthood and sixteen years as a consecrated religious, Fr. Francis reflects on God's faithful love and the unexpected path that transformed his life and vocation.

Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting: A Pro-Life Response (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 8/29/25

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 21:39:07 +0000

8/29/25 - In the wake of the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis where two children lost their lives and many more were injured during a school Mass, we pause to reflect as Catholics on the sanctity of every human life and the urgent call to build a true culture of life. We'll offer a pro-life response to the heartbreaking violence, reminding us that children are gifts from God entrusted to our care, and their loss wounds not only their families but the entire Body of Christ. As we grieve with the Minneapolis Catholic community, we also seek hope in the Gospel, turning to prayer, Scripture, and the witness of our faith to guide us through sorrow toward action. In the face of senseless tragedy, our call is not to despair, but to deeper our commitment to protect the innocent, defend human dignity from conception to natural death, and work toward a world where peace, compassion, and love prevail.

8/27/25 - What connects the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima (1917) in Portugal and Our Lady of Akita (1973) in Japan, and why are these messages so urgent for the times we live in? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the Marian warnings given to the world, exploring their striking similarities and what they reveal about prayer, penance, and the future of humanity.

At Fatima, Our Lady called for conversion, the daily Rosary, and reparation for sin, promising peace if her requests were obeyed, and great suffering if they were not. Decades later in Akita, she repeated this urgent appeal, warning of coming trials, attacks on the Church from within, and the need for repentance. These prophetic messages are not relics of the past; they are unfolding before our eyes. Join us as we explore the profound connection between Fatima and Akita, the meaning of Our Lady's warnings for today, and how Catholics can respond with hope, faith, and courage.

She Died for Hiding Catholic Priests! The Story of St. Margaret Clitherow (Joanne Wright) - 8/20/25

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 21:30:18 +0000

8/20/25 - St. Margaret Clitherow (1556–1586), known as the Pearl of York, was a courageous wife, mother, and martyr who lived during the persecution of Catholics under Queen Elizabeth I. At a time when Catholicism was outlawed and priests were hunted, she bravely transformed her home into a refuge where the Mass could still be celebrated in secret. Her fearless devotion to the faith ultimately cost her life, as she was pressed to death at the age of 30 rather than deny her beliefs or betray the priests she sheltered. Canonized in 1970 by Pope St. Paul VI, Margaret's story continues to inspire Catholics as a powerful example of holiness lived in ordinary life through courage, sacrifice, and steadfast fidelity to God. This video explores her life, her hidden acts of heroism, the circumstances of her martyrdom, and why her witness remains so relevant today.

Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment (Dr. Robert P. George) - 8/14/25

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 21:27:39 +0000

8/14/25 - In Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth, acclaimed political philosopher and legal scholar Robert P. George tackles one of the most vexing issues dividing Americans today. He argues that the "Age of Faith" of the Medieval period and the "Age of Reason" of the European Enlightenments have been followed by a modern "Age of Feeling," in which people derive their beliefs not from faith or reason—or faith and reason—but from emotion, which becomes the central source of truth. And so, many have embraced a fierce moral absolutism on the basis of beliefs that are the products of nothing more than subjective inclinations and experiences. We'll also ask Dr. George about the U.S. Supreme Court's looming decision on same-sex marriage and whether the original ruling may be overturned.

On July 28, 1981, he was assassinated in his rectory, becoming the first U.S.-born priest declared a martyr by the Catholic Church.

What Made This Jewish Atheist Become a Catholic Saint and Martyr? (Joanne Wright) - 8/6/25

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 21:42:46 +0000

8/6/25 - St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, born Edith Stein (1891–1942), was a brilliant Jewish philosopher who became a Catholic nun and martyr at Auschwitz.

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 21:47:33 +0000

7/31/25 - What is the good life, and how do we truly live it? This age-old question has echoed through the halls of philosophy, culture, and religion for thousands of years. But what is the "good life"? Is it comfort, wealth, pleasure… or something deeper?

She Was Bedridden for 25 YEARS and STILL Became A Saint! St. Anna Schaffer (Joanne Wright) - 7/30/25

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 21:39:29 +0000

7/30/25 - St. Anna Schäffer, born in 1882 in Bavaria, dreamed of becoming a missionary, but her plans changed forever after a work-related accident at age 18 left her bedridden for the rest of her life. Suffering from painful, incurable wounds and paralysis, Anna transformed her bed into a place of spiritual mission, offering her intense physical pain in union with Christ's Passion for the conversion of sinners and the souls in purgatory. Despite her suffering, she radiated peace and joy, received mystical visions, and became a source of comfort for countless people who sought her prayers and counsel. She wrote over 2,000 letters, many filled with spiritual wisdom, and lived a life of profound Eucharistic devotion. Canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, St. Anna's life is a powerful testament to redemptive suffering and unshakable faith amidst trials.

Salve Regina: A Rosary Crusade to Plead for Holy Popes (Bishop Athanasius Schneider) - 7/28/25

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

7/28/25 - Bishop Athanasius Schneider sounds a rallying cry to all Catholics to take up the mightiest spiritual weapon in our arsenal: Our Lady wants you to embark on a Rosary Crusade, under her mantle, to repel the forces of evil and disentangle the vexing problems we face in these troubled times. Bishop Schneider relates that faith, moral life, pastoral and clerical life, and the sacred liturgy are all under withering attack, including from within the Church. But don't lose heart! His Excellency urges believers to unite in imploring Our Lady to intercede for a new era of saintly popes and holy leadership to safeguard, renew, and uplift the Faith. Inspired by the victories wrought through fervent faith and the recitation of the Rosary, such as during the legendary Battle of Lepanto, these reflections illustrate how Marian devotion has the power to restore the Body of Christ — the Holy Catholic Church — and foster holiness in her members.

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 21:42:43 +0000

7/23/25 - At just six years old, Venerable Antonietta Meo wrote profound letters to Jesus while enduring bone cancer, offering her pain for others with childlike simplicity and deep spiritual insight. Decades later, Blessed Chiara Badano, a vibrant Italian teenager, faced terminal cancer with radiant joy, refusing morphine so she could "offer her suffering to Jesus." This episode delves into the lives of these extraordinary young girls – one from 1930s Rome, the other from 1980s Italy – whose heroic virtue and unwavering love for Christ continue to move hearts and draw souls closer to God. Witness how childlike faith can become a profound theological witness!

Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All (Dr. Nathanael Blake) - 7/21/25

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 21:58:35 +0000

7/21/25 - Rather than providing fulfilling pleasure, sexual liberation has created a relational wasteland in which men and women are alienated from each other. The liberation promised by the sexual revolution has made people slaves to desire and has led to pain. Victims of the Revolution is a tour de force, passing first through the self-destruction of hypersexuality and then through the beauty of the Church's profound teaching on sexuality. Quoting extensively from testimonies and reports written by the revolution's most outspoken advocates, Nathanael Blake proves that even beyond the question of right and wrong, Christian sexual ethics simply provide a better way to love and live.

New Alarming Chemical Abortion Research… Plus, Tucker Carlson’s Bold Stand! (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 7/18/25

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 21:31:08 +0000

7/18/25 - This week, newly released research has sounded an urgent alarm across the nation: chemical abortions are not only ending innocent lives but also polluting our environment in ways far more dangerous than previously understood. These findings reveal that abortion drugs, especially mifepristone and misoprostol, are entering wastewater systems, affecting aquatic life and possibly contaminating drinking water. Scientists and pro-life advocates alike are calling this an environmental crisis that can no longer be ignored. We break down the latest data and what it means for Catholics who are called to be stewards of both life and creation. We'll also explore how this issue exposes a deep inconsistency in mainstream environmental activism, and why Catholics must lead the charge in addressing both the moral and ecological consequences of abortion.

Plus, we take a closer look at newly surfaced comments from Tucker Carlson, in which he boldly challenges the cultural normalization of abortion. Could Carlson's platform and rhetoric help ignite a political and spiritual movement to abolish abortion in America once and for all?

St. Simon Stock & the Brown Scapular: A Life of Carmelite Devotion (Joanne Wright) - 7/16/25

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 21:40:57 +0000

7/16/25 - St. Simon Stock was a 13th-century English Carmelite friar whose life helped shape the future of the Carmelite Order during a critical time of transition from the deserts of Mount Carmel to the cities of Europe. Born in Kent and said to have lived as a hermit in the hollow of a tree (earning him the name "Stock"), he was known for his deep asceticism and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1251, according to tradition, the Virgin appeared to him in Aylesford, England, and gave him the Brown Scapular, with the promise that "those who die wearing it shall not suffer eternal fire." This vision sparked widespread Marian devotion and established the scapular as one of the most beloved sacramentals in the Church. Through his leadership, mystical experiences, and enduring spiritual influence, St. Simon Stock remains a model of Carmelite spirituality rooted in humility, prayer, and total trust in Our Lady.

Canceled: Twelve Catholic Heroes That History Turned Into Villains (Steve Weidenkopf) - 7/14/25

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 21:44:17 +0000

7/14/25 - We have to admit it, right? Certain Catholics were some of the most villainous characters in history. Or were they?

Catholic historian Steve Weidenkopf digs into some of the most controversial Catholics ever to capture the popular imagination. He looks at notorious figures like Christopher Columbus and Marie Antoinette, so associated with their presumed evils that the modern world has completely written them off and even canceled them from any favorable mention or memory. And worse, the world now uses them as brushes to tar the whole Church! Weidenkopf discovers, though, that these figures are actually victims of a concerted project of defamation, their lives twisted and misrepresented by the Church's enemies: Enlightenment philosophers, Protestant rebels, modern secularists, and even malcontents within Catholicism. It's time to set the record straight.

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 21:27:50 +0000

7/11/25 - Jim and Father Imbarrato explore the growing speculation around Elon Musk potentially forming a third political party in the United States and what that could mean for Catholics. As political polarization deepens and traditional institutions lose trust, many are looking for alternatives. But would a Musk-led movement align with Catholic social teaching, moral principles, or the common good? And more importantly, would that party hold the abolition of abortion as a priority? We discuss the cultural, ethical, and spiritual implications of tech billionaires entering the political arena and how faithful Catholics should navigate this changing landscape with wisdom, discernment, and hope.

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 21:53:35 +0000

7/9/25 - St. Gaspar del Bufalo (1786–1837) was a Roman priest and founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Arrested and exiled for refusing to swear allegiance to Napoleon, Gaspar returned after years of imprisonment to a war-torn Italy, where he fearlessly preached missions in remote and lawless regions, often facing violence and death threats. He reached out to bandits, prisoners, and the spiritually abandoned, calling them to conversion through the saving power of Christ's Precious Blood. Known for his fiery sermons, unwavering loyalty to the Pope, and deep Marian devotion, St. Gaspar was a reformer who renewed the faith in one of the darkest periods of Italian history.

Faith Behind Bars: Jailed by Biden, Pardoned by Trump (Will Goodman) - 7/8/25

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 21:35:17 +0000

7/8/25 - Pro life activist Will Goodman recounts the day he walked into a D.C. abortion facility during a Red Rose Rescue to offer women alternatives to abortion, and how that act of peaceful witness led to a federal conviction under the FACE Act and nearly a year and a half spent behind bars. He speaks candidly about praying in a cold prison cell, surrounded by hostility, and how his time in jail became a hidden retreat of grace. Goodman also shares the surreal moment he learned he had been pardoned by President Trump in July 2024 and what that pardon means for the future of pro-life resistance in America.

Visions of the End Times: The Life of Venerable Elizabeth Mora (Joanne Wright) - 7/2/25

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 21:51:36 +0000

7/2/25 - Blessed Elizabeth Canori Mora (1774–1825) was a Roman wife, mother, and mystic who turned personal suffering into profound holiness. Trapped in a difficult marriage marked by her husband's infidelity, abuse, and financial ruin, Elizabeth remained steadfast in her faith, raising two daughters while working as a maid and caring for the poor. After a miraculous healing in 1801, she began receiving mystical visions of Christ and the Virgin Mary, and joined the Third Order of the Most Holy Trinity. Despite enduring poverty and abandonment, she prayed constantly for her husband's conversion, a prayer answered after her death when he became a Franciscan priest. Beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1994, Elizabeth's life is a powerful testament to forgiveness, fidelity, and redemptive suffering.

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 21:31:06 +0000

6/30/25 - Catholic scholar and theologian George Weigel explores why Catholic universities - with their roots in free, rigorous debate - are uniquely positioned to renew higher education amid today's cultural crisis. Dive into excerpts from his addresses, where he challenges graduates to embrace their degrees as a "summons to become trustees of a great tradition," and reflects on the vital interplay between faith, reason, and culture. Discover how Pope St. John Paul II's vision of education influences his call to cultivate the "diakonia of the truth" on campus, and why his advice - part encouragement, part challenge - is so timely.

6/26/25 - Catholic author and former sportswriter Kevin Wells offers his reflections on the documentary Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition, a film that profiles the spiritual lives of Catholic Major League Baseball players such as Mike Piazza, David Eckstein, Jeff Suppan, Jack McKeon, and others. As a viewer and longtime observer of professional sports, Kevin discusses how the film powerfully captures moments of prayer, sacramental life, and personal testimony, revealing how these athletes integrate their faith with the pressures and spotlight of the big leagues. He explores the film's unique approach to evangelization through storytelling, its portrayal of Catholic masculinity and virtue, and why its message continues to resonate in a culture often at odds with faith-based values.

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, The Man of the Beatitudes (Joanne Wright) - 6/25/25

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 21:51:32 +0000

6/25/25 - Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was an Italian layman who combined a deep spiritual life with a passion for social justice and adventure. Born in 1901 to a wealthy family in Turin, Frassati chose a life of simplicity and service over privilege. He was an avid mountain climber, a student of engineering, and a committed member of Catholic Action and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Despite his short life (he died at just 24 from polio contracted while serving the poor), Frassati left behind a legacy of holiness that continues to inspire young people around the world. He attended daily Mass, spent hours in Eucharistic Adoration, and fearlessly defended the dignity of the marginalized during a time of political unrest in Italy. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II, who called him "a man of the Beatitudes."

How God Healed Me After My Parents’ Divorce (Joey Pontarelli) - 6/24/25

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 21:36:57 +0000

6/24/25 - Joey Pontarelli, founder of Restored Ministry, shares a moving Catholic testimony of growing up in a broken home marked by the pain of his parents' divorce. As a teenager, he struggled with deep wounds: feelings of rejection, fear of abandonment, and a belief that he was unlovable. To cope, he chased achievement, perfectionism, and control, but none of it brought real peace. Everything began to change when he encountered Jesus Christ in a personal way through the sacraments, prayer, and authentic Catholic community. Joey discovered that God not only wanted to heal his wounds, but also to use his story to help others. Today, through Restored, he helps teens and young adults from divorced and broken families find healing, hope, and identity in Christ.

Let’s Unpack the Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson Debate… (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 6/20/25

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 19:44:51 +0000

6/20/25 - We dive into the recent debate between Senator Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson, where the conversation took a sharp turn toward life issues, specifically In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and what it means to be truly pro-life.

As Catholics, we believe that life begins at conception and that every human being, no matter how small, has inherent dignity and worth. But how do those beliefs align with the modern practices of IVF? What does the Church actually teach about assisted reproductive technologies? And how should we respond when even self-proclaimed Christians and pro-life leaders seem to send mixed messages?

Together, Jim and Pam unpack the foundational truth that every human life, from the moment of conception, is a person created in the image of God and deserving of protection. The pro-life movement must stay rooted in truth, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the dignity of every person.

Abortion, Euthanasia, and the Crisis of Weak Men in Church and State (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 6/13/25

Fri, 13 Jun 2025 21:50:17 +0000

6/13/25 - In today's world, abortion and euthanasia are promoted as "compassionate" choices - but in truth, they are grave evils that attack the very foundation of human dignity. Jim and Father Imbarrato unpack recent developments in the pro-life movement and examine how the rise of the culture of death has been fueled not only by moral confusion, but by a failure of leadership, especially among men in both the Church and civil society. We're calling on men to rise up with courage, conviction, and faith. The Church needs fathers, priests, and leaders who are unafraid to speak the truth, defend the innocent, and protect life at every stage from conception to natural death.

The time for silence is over. The time for strong men anchored in truth, humility, and sacrificial love is now.

Coached by the Curé: Lessons in Shepherding with St. John Vianney (Kevin Wells) - 6/12/25

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 22:01:15 +0000

6/12/25 - In a world where modern secularism clouds the consciences of Catholic youth and adults alike and so few clergy are regarded as their rescuers, St. John Vianney, the humble patron saint of priests, receives a new title: Patron Saint of the Domestic Priesthood. St. Philomena, his muse, urges him to guide parents in their sacred role: "Jean-Marie, countless parents mourn for their lost children . . . you must teach moms and dads to be the priests of their homes."

In Coached by the Curé, the saint's example illuminates the path for Catholic parents and all who seek to bring lost souls back from modern ideologies, indifference, and confusion. Readers discover the saintly traits of Vianney—the pastor who sacrificed his life for sinners. His humility, fortitude to overcome Satan's relentless assaults, Eucharistic love, devotion to Mary, courage, prayer, and commitment to penance shine through, offering a powerful guide for those who are eager to help others return to the light. Parents, laity, and clergy alike will find inspiration in the heart of this true white martyr, willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of even a single soul.

Blessed Bartolo Longo: The Ex-Satanic Priest Who Became a Marian Apostle (Joanne Wright) - 6/11/25

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 21:47:40 +0000

6/11/25 - This is the astonishing true story of Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841–1926), a man who descended into darkness as a satanic priest during his years as a law student in Naples—but who was rescued by divine grace and became one of the Church's most fervent promoters of the Holy Rosary. Raised in a devout Catholic family, Bartolo fell away from the faith during his university studies, swept up in the anti-clerical, occult movements of his time. He was ordained a satanic priest and suffered severe depression, paranoia, and spiritual torment. But through the prayers of his family and the guidance of a Dominican priest, Fr. Alberto Radente, Bartolo experienced a miraculous conversion.

Devoting his life to penance and reparation, Bartolo dedicated himself to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary. He helped rebuild the faith of an entire region by bringing the Rosary to the poor in Pompeii, where he founded the now world-famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. He also established schools, orphanages, and legal aid for the poor—all as acts of penance and service. Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1980, calling him the "Man of Mary" and a "true lay apostle of the Rosary."

From Executive Ambition to Eternal Mission: Finding My Calling at EWTN (Doug Keck) - 6/10/25

Despite his past, he found acceptance and purpose at EWTN, where he has since played a crucial role in expanding the network's reach and impact. Doug's story is a testament to the power of God's grace to transform lives and redirect paths for a higher calling.

Join us as Doug candidly shares his faith journey, the challenges he faced, and the profound impact of EWTN's mission on his life and the lives of countless others around the world.

The Memoirs of Blessed Ramon Llull: The First Missionary Martyr to the Muslims (Jason Gale) - 6/9/25

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 21:49:56 +0000

6/9/25 - Blessed Ramon Llull's ultimate act of final perseverance was not one single decision made by grace, but the culmination of a life spent adhering to the will of God. The Memoirs of Blessed Ramon Llull is a thrilling narrative, reading almost like an action novel. In this autobiographical work, he humbly details his triumphs as well as his own weaknesses and disappointments. Due to rivalries between Catholic leaders, Bl. Ramon's missionary zeal faced indifference from within the Church as well as resistance from without. Translated in English for the first time by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB, this work gives a detailed outline of his request made to Pope Clement V and the College of Cardinals for the establishment of monastic academies to train future missionaries in foreign languages. Unfortunately, his request was denied. A visionary among his fellow clergymen, Bl. Ramon was alone in recognizing the importance of learning the vernacular of the unconverted nations. Despite this and various additional disappointments he experienced, Bl. Ramon never swayed from the work Christ called him to.

Mere Natural Law: Originalism and the Anchoring Truths of the Constitution (Hadley Arkes) - 6/5/25

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 22:12:55 +0000

6/5/25 - In Mere Natural Law: Originalism and the Anchoring Truths of the Constitution, legal philosopher Hadley Arkes argues that originalism alone is insufficient to counter judicial activism. He contends that the framers of the Constitution viewed "self-evident" truths of Natural Law as foundational, and that interpreting the Constitution without acknowledging these principles leads to incoherence in the legal system. Arkes emphasizes the importance of grounding constitutional interpretation in moral principles known to all, rather than relying solely on textual analysis or theoretical constructs. He critiques both liberal and conservative approaches that neglect the moral underpinnings of the Constitution, advocating for a return to the moral reasoning that guided the Founders. This work is a call to rediscover the Natural Law as essential to understanding and preserving the Constitution's integrity.

Ordained in 1876, Father Baker transformed the struggling parish of St. Joseph's into a thriving "City of Charity" that included an orphanage, a home for unwed mothers, a hospital, a school for boys, and eventually the magnificent Our Lady of Victory National Shrine and Basilica, completed in 1925. A pioneer in Catholic charity and devotion to Our Lady of Victory, Father Baker served thousands in need during his lifetime, relying entirely on donations through what he called "The Association of Our Lady of Victory." His legacy lives on today, and his cause for sainthood continues, with Pope Benedict XVI declaring him Venerable in 2011.

Bioethical Considerations and the Story of Baby Chance (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 5/30/25

Fri, 30 May 2025 16:28:33 +0000

5/30/25 - Have you heard the story of Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old pregnant nurse from Georgia who was declared brain-dead just 13 weeks into her pregnancy? Rather than letting her life quietly end, doctors at Emory University Hospital made the courageous decision to keep her on life support—not for her own survival, but to protect the tiny life growing inside her. Her unborn baby, now known as "Baby Chance," has a diagnosed brain condition, but still has a fighting chance thanks to Georgia's LIFE Act, which defends unborn children from the moment a heartbeat is detected. While some call it "torture," we see a tragic but powerful testament to the sanctity of life. Adriana's story is one about having the moral courage to say that every life matters, no matter how small or uncertain the future may seem; it's also one that is sure to stir debate and controversy regarding how law and bioethical considerations should intersect.

20th Century Mystic Diaries: Gabrielle Bossis and Her Conversations with Jesus (Joanne Wright) - 5/28/25

Wed, 28 May 2025 22:11:55 +0000

5/28/25 - We'll examine the life of Gabrielle Bossis (1874–1950), a French nurse, playwright, and Catholic mystic whose deeply personal spiritual writings have touched generations. Best known for her diary Lui et moi (He and I), Bossis began experiencing what she described as interior conversations with Jesus later in life, during her travels across France as a playwright and performer. Born into a devout Catholic family in Nantes, she served as a nurse during World War I, and only turned to writing and spiritual reflection more intensely in her 60s. In He and I, she recorded daily dialogues filled with tenderness, guidance, and divine love, texts that would eventually be hailed as a modern spiritual classic. Through excerpts from her writings and historical context, we'll attempt to trace the journey of a woman who lived quietly but carried within her a profound mystical relationship with Christ.

Fr. Nepil draws deeply from the Catholic intellectual tradition, especially the insights of Luigi Giussani, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Hans Urs von Balthasar, to explore how the wilderness becomes a school of the Incarnation where God speaks through the silence of creation.

Who Was Josefa Menendez? The Hidden Soul Chosen by Christ (Joanne Wright) - 5/14/25

Wed, 14 May 2025 22:04:05 +0000

5/14/25 - Today we examine the extraordinary life of Servant of God Josefa Menendez (1890–1923), a Spanish-born nun of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Though virtually unknown during her lifetime, Josefa was chosen by Christ to be a messenger of His infinite love and mercy, especially for souls trapped in despair. Through interior locutions and mystical experiences, Josefa received intimate revelations from Jesus, who spoke to her heart about the sufferings of His Passion and His burning desire for souls to return to Him. These messages—later compiled in the spiritual classic The Way of Divine Love—present a moving call to reparation, humility, and trust in divine mercy.

We'll discuss Josefa's early life, her hidden vocation, and the spiritual battles she endured, including intense temptations and physical suffering. Despite her obscurity and fragile health, she offered everything for the salvation of souls, uniting herself with Christ's redemptive love.

Drawing on Scripture, the writings of C.S. Lewis, and the saints, Kreeft unpacks how joy can be found even amidst suffering and why it is the ultimate fulfillment of the human heart.

We also discuss From Calvinist to Catholic, a collection of compelling conversion stories—including his own—that chart the intellectual, theological, and personal journeys of former Calvinists who found their way into the Catholic Church. Dr. Kreeft offers insights into the shared theological foundations between Reformed and Catholic traditions, while highlighting the sacramental, historical, and spiritual richness that drew these converts home to Rome.

With his trademark clarity, wit, and wisdom, Dr. Kreeft challenges us to seek the fullness of truth and the joy that comes from encountering Christ in the heart of the Catholic faith.

Saint Maria Faustina and the Divine Mercy Message (Joanne Wright) - 4/30/25

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 21:43:26 +0000

4/30/25 - St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, a humble nun from Poland, was chosen by Christ to be the Apostle of Divine Mercy. Through her diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul, she recorded extraordinary revelations in which Jesus urged the world to turn to His mercy. He revealed to her the image of Divine Mercy, the Chaplet, and the institution of Divine Mercy Sunday, saying, 'I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls' (Diary, 699). Despite intense physical suffering and spiritual trials, Faustina remained faithful to her mission. Her writings offer a window into a soul completely surrendered to God's will, and her legacy continues to inspire a deeper trust in Christ's mercy.

The Death of Pope Francis and the Coming Conclave (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 4/29/25

He considers the late Pope's complex legacy — including his pastoral priorities, theological emphases, and moments of controversy — and how these will influence the mindset of the College of Cardinals as they prepare for the upcoming conclave.

Bishop Strickland also offers insight into what kind of leader the Church needs now: someone rooted firmly in apostolic tradition, clear in moral teaching, and courageous in guiding a divided and often confused flock. He discusses the profiles of likely contenders — from those with strong curial experience to others known for their pastoral outreach, theological clarity, or global influence — while emphasizing the need for discernment grounded in prayer and fidelity to Christ.

The Hell There Is: An Exploration of the Often Rejected Doctrine of the Church (Msgr. Charles Pope) - 5/1/25

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 16:53:02 +0000

5/1/25 - Of all the theological errors commonly held today, the most popular is surely the denial of the doctrine of hell. Even self-described Christians question whether God would consign anyone to hell. Msgr. Pope explains this false perception: "If it exists at all, it is largely empty, except perhaps for a few serial killers or genocidal maniacs like Hitler." People who adopt this belief are ignoring Jesus's teachings that instruct the exact opposite. In The Hell There Is, Msgr. Pope defends the doctrine of hell against doubters and skeptics. The reader will learn how God has largely been refashioned and trivialized in much of modern thinking. The God of Scripture has been replaced by the "Jesus I know," who would never impose demands on anyone. As in the past, those nowadays who invent their own god engage in idolatry. By denying the existence of hell, they choose a false god who is indifferent to their spiritual condition over the true God who makes demands on those He desires to save.

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 20:11:17 +0000

4/9/25 - Blessed Solanus Casey was a humble Franciscan friar whose deep faith and unwavering devotion to service continue to inspire people worldwide. Born in 1870 in Wisconsin, Solanus faced many challenges, including struggles in his early religious studies. Despite being deemed intellectually unsuitable for the priesthood, he was ordained a priest in 1904 but was assigned to simpler tasks like hearing confessions and serving in the friary's kitchen. Known for his extraordinary humility, Solanus became a source of spiritual comfort and healing for all who sought his help. His deep prayer life and trust in God led to countless stories of physical and spiritual healings, earning him the reputation of a miracle worker. As a porter at St. Bonaventure Monastery in Detroit, he greeted visitors with kindness and compassion, always ready to listen and pray for their needs.

Through his years of faithful service, Solanus touched the lives of thousands, and his legacy lives on through the miracles attributed to him, including the miraculous healings that played a role in his beatification.

We'll break down how and why Vance's rhetoric around "living by truth" doesn't quite seem to align with his stance on abortion and the beginning of life, raising the question of whether his advocacy for simplicity and consistency is truly grounded in principle.

3/25/25 - What does it mean to be evangelical? What does it mean to be Catholic? Can one consider oneself both simultaneously? Dr. Francis Beckwith has wrestled with these questions personally and professionally. He was baptized a Catholic, but his faith journey led him to Protestant evangelicalism. He became a philosophy professor at Baylor University and president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS). And then, in 2007, after much prayer, counsel, and consideration, he decided to return to the Catholic church and step down as ETS president. What might have caused such a dramatic shift? This provocative book details Dr. Beckwith's journey, focusing on his internal dialogue between the Protestant theology he embraced for most of his adult life and Catholicism. He seeks to explain what prompted his decision and offers theological reflection on whether one can be evangelical and Catholic, affirming his belief that one can be both.

The Science of the Spiritual Life (Fr. Jonathan Romanoski, FSSP) - 3/24/25

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 18:39:55 +0000

3/24/25 - We'll tap into The Three Conversions in the Spiritual Life, authored by Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, which sets forth classic Catholic traditions on the spiritual life as the full flowering of sanctifying grace in the soul. We'll discuss the three stages of the spiritual life - the Purgative Way, the Illuminative Way, and the Unitive Way - explaining what each is and showing the transitions or conversions from one to another. How can one become a saint without knowing the way? We'll examine potential pitfalls, common mistakes, and some experiences of Saints who have gone before us.

Does Anyone Actually Care? (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 3/21/25

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 18:11:14 +0000

3/21/25 - One in four women in the U.S. will have an abortion by age 45, yet many feel abandoned by a culture that doesn't acknowledge the lasting effects. Studies have shown that nearly 60% of women who have undergone the procedure report feeling emotional pain post-abortion, with one-third citing feelings of sadness, regret, or anger. Yet, somehow, our government officials and even many of our own leaders in the Catholic church continue to minimize the issue at every opportunity. We know that the teachings of the Catholic church call for an end to this atrocity, so why does its human leadership fail to uphold the message? Does anyone actually care?

Loved, Lost and Found: A Guide to Reclaiming Your Lost Human Heritage and Your Heavenly Inheritance (Hugh Owen) - 3/20/25

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 17:06:38 +0000

3/20/25 - As we enter into a deeper apostasy as a society, looking at the first things, especially Creation, the Fall, and the first Good News, will help us to see where we have erred so that we can correct our course. In Loved, Lost and Found, Hugh Owen gives a scientific perspective on why we need to go back to what God revealed in Genesis 1-11. The modernist believes that the god of theistic evolution used a process of death, disease, extinction and natural selection to produce mankind, and he inserts billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 11. By aligning his theology with the speculations of fallible human scientists, the modernist sows doubt among the faithful and slips into scientism. This book will cause "the scales to fall from our eyes" (cf. Acts 9:18), to see the errors that have infected modern theology like a cancer.

Uncover the Amazing Journey of St Francis de Sales! (Joanne Wright) - 3/19/25

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 15:13:49 +0000

3/19/25 - We'll recount St. Francis de Sales' teachings on patience, humility, and gentleness through his writings, especially his Introduction to the Devout Life, and examine his letters, including those to Jane de Chantal, a French-Catholic widow with whom St. Francis eventually co-founded the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary. With a message that is more applicable than ever in our busy modern climate, he notably believed that holiness can be achieved amidst the daily responsibilities of family, work, and social life, emphasizing that a deep prayer life can coexist with an active, worldly vocation. St. Francis also offers practical advice on managing anger, cultivating humility, and practicing gentle correction in relationships, drawing from his own experiences while serving as Bishop of Geneva.

Cardinal McElroy? We MUST Reconsider... (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 3/18/25

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 19:27:32 +0000

3/18/25 - Bishop Joseph Strickland returns to the show to offer his thoughts on the recent appointment of Cardinal Robert McElroy to the position of Archbishop of Washington. What level of concern should Catholics have about the message that this sends given McElroy's shady history, particularly as it pertains to survivors of clerical sexual abuse? What do those survivors, some of whom have remained in contact with Bishop Strickland, have to say about all of this? Bishop Strickland will also offer his thoughts on which Catholic leader he feels may serve as a potential fit to serve as our next Holy Father.

Are We Really Winning? Have We Really Come As Far As We Thought? (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 3/14/25

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 19:02:26 +0000

3/14/25 - At the recent Bringing America Back to Life Convention, speaker and pro-life leader Abby Johnson placed a focus on the many failures of the modern pro-life movement, including a widespread willingness to compromise and failures to understand and uphold even the most basic principles upon which the movement is based. We'll unpack Abby's remarks from a subsequent interview with John-Henry Westen of LifeSite News in which she called upon her fellow pro-lifers to do more. Abby's message is a simple, yet familiar one if you're a regular listener or viewer here: there is no longer time for compromise!

Indiana Health Dept. Spills the Beans on Abortion! (Melanie Lyon) - 3/17/25

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:08:53 +0000

3/17/25 - In a significant legal victory for pro-life advocates, the Indiana Department of Health has agreed to release previously withheld abortion records following a lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Society on behalf of Voices for Life. The lawsuit, filed in 2024, challenged the state's refusal to release Termination of Pregnancy Reports (TPRs), which are critical for ensuring abortion providers comply with state laws. The settlement ensures that these records will now be made available to the public with minimal redactions, allowing pro-life groups to continue their oversight of the state's abortion industry and enforce compliance with health and safety regulations. Melanie Lyon, Executive Director of Voices for Life, joins us to unpack the details of the report.

What Made St. John of the Cross SO SPIRITUAL? (Joanne Wright) - 3/12/25

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 17:53:42 +0000

3/12/25 - St. John of the Cross, a 16th-century Spanish mystic, poet, and reformer, played a key role in the Catholic Reformation alongside St. Teresa of Avila, helping establish the Discalced Carmelites. His writings, particularly The Dark Night of the Soul and The Ascent of Mount Carmel, offer profound insights into the soul's journey toward union with God, emphasizing spiritual purification, detachment, and deep contemplation. Despite enduring imprisonment and suffering, St. John remained committed to guiding others toward a deeper relationship with God. Canonized a saint in 1726 and named a Doctor of the Church in 1926, his spiritual legacy continues to inspire those seeking a deeper understanding of divine love and prayer.

Witness to Change: One Woman’s Pro-Life Stand (Missy Martinez-Stone) - 3/11/25

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 18:23:31 +0000

3/11/25 - Missy Martinez-Stone is a nationally recognized expert in holding abortion facilities accountable for unsafe and illegal practices, ultimately leading to their closure.

Real Discipleship: How to Follow Jesus His Way, Not Ours (Fr. Jeffrey Kirby) - 3/10/25

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 15:31:39 +0000

3/10/25 - Discipleship: isn't that a Protestant thing? The concept of Christian discipleship gets stressed so much in Evangelical culture that many Catholics assume that - like "altar calls" or the "Rapture" - it's not their concern. Or maybe you're more familiar with a form of "discipleship" that stresses personal fulfillment, moral and doctrinal flexibility, and an individualist gospel that measures success by worldly standards. This idea has roots in Protestant "health & wealth" preaching, but you can find it in Catholic churches, too.

Both of those notions are dead wrong, says Fr. Jeffrey Kirby. In Real Discipleship, Fr. Kirby says that discipleship should be the central concern of every Catholic, and that far from being all about us and our earthly needs, true discipleship is about following Jesus diligently on the path to the Cross. A lively mix of personal stories, theology, history, Bible study, common sense, and prayerful meditation, the book will be a valuable companion on your own journey along Christ's path - all the way to Calvary and to eternal glory.

How to Feel Happy, and What Gets in the Way... (Dr. John-Mark Miravalle) - 3/6/25

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:04:22 +0000

3/6/25 - Never before in the life of our nation have more drugs – legal and illegal – been consumed than now, and in such an acute time as this, it is difficult to evaluate which mood-altering drugs carry moral legitimacy.

As a missionary preacher and lifelong friend of the poor and destitute, Seelos was a spiritual father to tens of thousands, giving counsel and hearing the confessions of all who came to him. Despite his untimely death at age 48, so profound was his apostolic zeal that sickness, persecution, and even the upheaval caused by civil war could not stop him.

The Leper’s Saint: The Story of St. Damien of Molokai (Joanne Wright) - 2/26/25

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 16:45:56 +0000

2/26/25 - St. Damien was a Belgian priest who answered God's call to minister to the lepers of Molokai, Hawaii in the late 19th century. Leaving behind his home and family, St. Damien selflessly devoted himself to caring for those exiled to the isolated leper colony, providing not only medical care, but also spiritual support. He built churches, schools, and homes, offering the love and dignity of Christ to those society had abandoned. Despite contracting leprosy himself and ultimately dying from the disease, St. Damien's unwavering faith and commitment to the marginalized can teach us a lot about the Catholic Church's mission to serve the poorest and most vulnerable.

NaPro Technology vs. IVF (Dr. Teresa Hilgers) - 2/24/25

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:14:04 +0000

2/24/25 - Dr. Teresa Hilgers is an OB-GYN at the Saint Paul VI Institute. She holds degrees from Baylor University, Georgetown University, and Creighton University. For her residency training, she went to Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, and following that she completed a Fellowship at the St. Paul VI Institute in Medical and Surgical NaProTechnology. Her weekly duties include seeing patients in the clinic, performing surgeries, and delivering babies.

We'll discuss the ethical and moral implications of two approaches to infertility treatment from a Catholic perspective. Dr. Teresa Hilgers will introduce us to NaPro Technology, a natural alternative that works with a woman's reproductive system to address underlying causes of infertility, and compare it to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), which often involves the creation and disposal of embryos. Which method is in closer alignment with Catholic values surrounding life and family? Is there reasonable hope for Catholic women struggling with infertility that doesn't compromise on the values of our faith?

You Are Being Lied To! Here’s Why IVF Fails the Pro-Life Test (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 2/21/25

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:42:39 +0000

2/21/25 - While the Trump administration has claimed to be deeply committed to the reimplementation of pro-life values and principles in the United States, many of their statements regarding IVF seem to suggest that they still may not have a full understanding of these issues. The fact is simple: nothing about IVF is pro-life! We'll hear from Donald Trump and JD Vance and explain why they're slightly off-base in this area, well-intentioned or not. We'll also hear from others like Republican Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, whose similar statements seem to suggest that the Republican party as a whole needs to be fact checked when it comes to the reality about in vitro fertilization. They may be ahead of their Democratic counterparts, but they still have a long way to go...

Analog Hunger in a Digital World: Confronting Today’s Identity Crisis (Dr. Paul Vitz) - 2/20/25

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:56:39 +0000

2/20/25 - In Analog Hunger in a Digital World, renowned psychologist Dr. Paul Vitz addresses the troubling fact that scientific progress is no longer making human beings happy. In fact, the reverse trend is taking hold: individuals are more distressed and struggle with overwhelming confusion regarding personal identity and the meaningfulness of life as technology makes daily life more 'manageable.' Dr. Vitz asserts there is a noteworthy connection between the sense of personal identity and flourishing, and the connection between well-being and technological progress has been largely severed because 'progress' in this sense encourages various ways 'losing sight of oneself. This book is written for those who are enthralled by the digital realm and tech advancements, but also for those who are affected by contemporary crises in culture and identity.

Not Just Spiritual: My Journey From Personal Religion to the Catholic Faith (Christine Flynn) - 2/18/25

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:39:09 +0000

2/18/25 - Christine Flynn is a wife and mother of six young children. On fire for the Catholic faith, Christine is active on Instagram.

Like many young women of her generation, Christine Flynn never had much use for "organized religion." In fact, she considered herself spiritually advanced. Unlike her peers who sat in church pews on Sunday, blindly following man-made rules and rites, she was in tune with the powers of the Universe. Her personal spirituality – revealed through the stars, in her dreams, by meditation and self-actualization – made her feel wise, strong, and special. But it never brought her peace. Not Just Spiritual is the raw and real story of Christine's journey from error and vice to the Lord's saving grace. It evokes truths that go beyond just one woman's life, offering a compelling answer to the "spiritual, but not religious" fad that infects our age.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen: Convert Maker (Cheryl C. D. Hughes) - 2/17/25

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 17:23:27 +0000

2/17/25 - Cheryl C. D. Hughes holds a Ph.D. in historical theology from Durham University in England. Her books include Katharine Drexel: The Riches-to-Rags Story of an American Catholic Saint (2014) and Crossing Boundaries and Confounding Identity: Chinese Women in Literature, Art, and Film (2023).

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen was one of the greatest spiritual leaders and entertainers in America's tumultuous twentieth century. His television shows, for which he eventually won an Emmy Award, reached millions of viewers, and in the 1950s and '60s, "Fulton Sheen" was a household name. But his greatest gift was in finding lost sheep. Through his thought, wit, and compassion, many thousands of people likely entered the Church, from all walks of life. Among them were jazz legend Ada "Bricktop" Smith, journalist Heywood Broun, Communist activist Louis Budenz, U.S. Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, spy Elizabeth Bentley, composer Fritz Kreisler, Communist Bella Dodd, and Hollywood starlet Virginia Mayo. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen: Convert Maker lets readers inhabit the postwar America where Bishop Fulton Sheen thrived in order to reveal what made him such a magnetic figure in his own era. It peers into the complex lives of the celebrities and fallen stars who saw in the warm, brilliant bishop a sign of God's grace, and it offers a study in the inner dynamics of conversion.

The Super Couple: A Formula for Extreme Happiness in Marriage (Dr. Christine Bacon) - 2/10/25

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:48:38 +0000

2/10/25 - Dr. Christine Bacon holds three degrees in communication. Her doctoral dissertation merged marital humor with her own experience and her desire to teach individuals and couples how to build and nurture what she calls Super marriages. She is the wife of a retired Navy officer and a former life-skills educator at the Navy's Fleet and Family Support Centers. Her expertise includes teaching couples and individuals to successfully manage conflict, anger and stress, and more than fourteen years' experience leading pre-marital seminars with Catholic Charities. Dr. Bacon also runs CMB Communication, Inc., which focuses on strengthening relationships (intimate, familial and professional) by teaching effective communication skills.

Her own marriage was so painful and troubled that Dr. Christine Bacon actually prayed for her husband to die. During a four-year separation and her husband's pursuit of reconciliation, she realized that reunification would mean changing everything: ineffective communication styles, bad habits, attitudes and levels of commitment. She vowed to herself that "this second time must be forever." Her personal trials, despair and fighting spirit fueled a new quest to discover the formula for extremely happy couples. Dr. Bacon interviewed nearly 100 Super Couples to discover whether extremely happy marriages were a matter of fate or formula. Did they get lucky, or was "super" something that could be learned? Her surprising findings inspired a turnaround in her now happy and fulfilling marriage and have led to the same for thousands of other couples. Readers who delve into The Super Couple will access this formula, glean fresh insights to the "six faulty assumptions" that often lead to marital failure, and embrace a practical and inspiring redefinition of love that will reinvigorate a tepid or troubled marriage and transform it to terrific.

Donald Trump’s SCORCHING Remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast: ”Bring God Back!” (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 2/7/25

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 20:30:19 +0000

2/7/25 - Donald Trump delivered a series of scorching remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in which he denounced anti-Christian bias and woke ideologies and encouraged Americans to "bring God back." Should we take this as a sign of hope that Trump may serve as America's new Lincoln and uphold the dignity of all human beings? We'll also discuss the latest updates on House Bill 1373 out of North Dakota which, if passed, would classify an embryo post-fertilization as a human being. Ironically, it seems that opposition to the bill is actually being led by "Catholics"! Is there Constitutional basis for such a bill to be implemented? Live Action's Josh Craddock thinks so! And, in other news, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is at odds with the state legislature regarding how to handle the immigration issue. It's been a jam packed news cycle this week and we'll unpack it all today!

A Catholic Engagement with Latter-day Saints (Dr. Francis Beckwith) - 2/6/25

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 20:27:11 +0000

2/6/25 - Dr. Francis Beckwith is Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies at Baylor University. Among his many books are The New Mormon Challenge and Taking Rites Seriously: Law, Politics, and the Reasonableness of Faith, winner of the American Academy of Religion's 2016 Book Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in the category of Constructive-Reflective Studies.

Catholics have done very little thinking about or interaction with the theological beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons). The Catholic Church has focused virtually all of its ecumenical efforts on the ecclesial communities that arose from the Reformation, the Orthodox Churches, and Judaism. Left out of these discussions has been the Mormon Church, even though it has grown to nearly 16 million members internationally by 2016 from its modest beginnings in 1830. In A Catholic Engagement with Latter-day Saints, a collection of Catholic scholars address several theological topics over which Mormons and Catholics hold contrary beliefs: the great apostasy, the papacy, the Eucharist, the Trinity, the incarnation, the nature of God, justification, sainthood, liturgy, and deification. The contributors, some of whom are converts to Catholicism from Mormonism, offer a respectful, though critical, analysis of LDS beliefs.

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 19:21:58 +0000

1/27/24 - Last year, the six week abortion ban took affect in Florida after being passed by the state legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. However, without a federal ban in place, and with out-of-state options still available, is it truly possible for authorities to enforce this new policy in the state of Florida, or is it all just a facade providing a false sense of hope for pro-lifers? Pam Stenzel returns to the show to bring us the latest updates from the ground in the Sunshine State.

Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars (Dr. Monica Miller) - 1/23/25

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 18:01:09 +0000

1/23/25 - Dr. Monica Miller is a nationally known pro-life leader, having been involved in the pro-life movement since 1976. She is the founder of Citizens for a Pro-life Society and author of several articles published on theological subjects and life-issues. Her work has appeared in This Rock, The National Catholic Register, Homiletic and Pastoral Review, The New Oxford Review, Fidelity Magazine, and Crisis Magazine.

Since 1976, Monica Miller has made it her life's work to defend the unborn: she has counseled pregnant women outside abortion clinics and organized pro-life groups and sit-ins at many of those same clinics. She has blocked abortionists' cars, been arrested, and gone to jail. And she has pulled the bodies of thousands of unborn babies out of dumpsters and given them a proper burial. Abandoned: The Untold Stories of the Abortion Wars is the story of those children abandoned by abortion, and it is the story of their courageous defenders. It tells the profound, breathtaking, and often daring journey of one woman, but it is much more than that. It is a history of the Pro-Life movement since Roe vs. Wade, a suspenseful, true-life tale of life and death, an insightful look into the unique and terrible horror of abortion, and a plea for the protection of the most helpless and innocent members of the human family.

Thinking Clearly: Catholic Philosophy for a Culture in Chaos (Dr. John-Mark Miravalle) - 1/6/25

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 21:01:20 +0000

1/6/25 - As baptized Christians, we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. But that has become increasingly difficult in today's post-Christian culture, which has largely rejected God and Christian beliefs. This is the primary field where most of us are called to sow and harvest for the kingdom, and a culture antithetical to Christianity requires a different approach. Philosophy provides some common ground with the modern world as well as tools to think rationally about who we are and what we were made for.

Thinking Clearly is your introduction to philosophy in the Catholic tradition and a guide to having difficult conversations about faith, morality, the human person, and more, using natural human insights.

What’s Next for American Conservatism? (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 12/13/24

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 00:06:45 +0000

12/13/24 - What does it mean to call ourselves "conservative," and how has the definition evolved over time? The protection of human dignity has remained a core principle of American conservatism from the days of our founding fathers; the belief that all men are created in the image and likeness of God. Can a value such as this continue to stand the test of time, even as so many outside forces continue to pressure conservatives to soften their stance on abortion, contraception, and other similar issues? How can Catholics and Christians help to restore conservative values that have come to feel like nothing more than a thing of the past?

The signature evils of our day—abortion, pornography, personal alienation, sex and gender confusion, breakdown of marriages and families, countless souls caught in the grip of the culture of death—have one crucial thing in common: humanity's prideful rejection of God's created order. To combat this modern folly, we need ancient wisdom; in fact, we need to go all the way back to creation's very first days. In the Beginning takes you through a unique reading of the first three chapters of Genesis, unfolding the richness of the divinely revealed creation story and what it has to say about God, the world, and the destiny of mankind.

St. Gemma Galgani, Daughter of the Passion (Joanne Wright) - 12/11/24

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:02:10 +0000

12/11/24 - Born just nine years before Padre Pio, Saint Gemma Galgani was an Italian saint and mystic who received the stigmata (the wounds of our Lord). She suffered greatly in her short life, dying at the young age of 25 from tuberculosis. In her time on Earth, Gemma lived a life of heroic virtue, working against her own defects from childhood and seeking only to please Jesus and suffer in union with Him for the salvation of poor sinners.

She is affectionately known by many as the Flower of Lucca and the Daughter of Passion.

This journey took him to the rainforest of New Guinea, the Old Synagogue in Warsaw, the Judean Desert, and into the heart of Ancient and Medieval Jewish tradition: the Hebrew Bible. Along the way he meets a cast of odd and wonderful characters, false prophets, and saintly Catholics who teach him about God, Scripture, and Prayer. His steps are dogged throughout by God's strange, providential provisions, despite his human blindness. At the heart of the ancient faith, much to his surprise, he discovered what a billion people across the world already knew and lived: the Catholic Faith.

True Abolitionism: What It Means and What It Stands For (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 12/6/24

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 20:02:49 +0000

12/6/24 - As a Catholic, is there any room for compromise when it comes to abortion? We're taught from the beginning that murder is inherently evil, yet so many so-called Catholics and Christians miss the mark in this area. What does it mean to be an abolitionist? Why has it become a "hot take" to believe in the total outlawing of abortion in modern society? What can we do to become more involved in the ongoing fight while best representing ourselves and our Catholic faith?

What Will It Take? (Bishop Joseph Strickland) - 11/26/24

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 17:06:50 +0000

11/26/24 - Bishop Joseph Strickland returns to the show to unpack a recent letter that he read outside of the annual USCCB meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, in which he warned his brother bishops about God's judgment on bishops who do not guard the church, and accused them of "silently watching as the Synod on Synodality took place, an abomination constructed not to guard the Deposit of Faith, but to dismantle it." What's going on in the life of the church that worries His Excellency enough to feel compelled to make this strongly worded statement? Let's ask him!

The Boston Men's March took place this past weekend, and the resistance was out in full force. It is now being reported that seventeen arrests were made during the event, including the "transgender daughter" of the second highest ranking Democrat in the US House of Representatives, Katherine Clark. Unsurprisingly, all of the reported arrests came from the pro-abortion side, who did their best to impede the peaceful proceedings of the march. We'll bring you a frontline recap of what was a wild day in the streets of America's most historically Catholic city.

A Soldier for Saint Francis: St. Elizabeth of Hungary (Joanne Wright) - 11/20/24

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:05:12 +0000

11/20/24 - Elizabeth of Hungary traveled what many would consider to be an unusual path to sainthood. The daughter of King Andrew II, one might assume that Elizabeth would place wealth and societal status at the forefront of her life. However, she instead chose to devote the majority of her short life to helping the sick and the poor, eventually joining the Third Order of St. Francis. A number of miracles occurred during Elizabeth's earthly life, the most well-known of which depicts her carrying loaves of bread which were suddenly transformed into roses. We'll unpack all of the details to pull back the curtain on the life of this patron saint of Christian charity whose feast day we celebrated on November 17th.

Beauty and Imitation: A Philosophical Reflection on the Arts (Dr. Daniel McInerny) - 11/18/24

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 14:45:08 +0000

11/18/24 - Dr. Daniel McInerny is associate professor and chair of the philosophy department at Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia. He is also a novelist and dramatist. As a scholar, he is foremost interested in reactivating an Aristotelian understanding of art as imitation, long out of favor among philosophers.

The human person is a truth seeker, and one of the most compelling ways human beings pursue truth is through the arts. In Beauty and Imitation: A Philosophical Reflection on the Arts, Dr. McInerny argues for an understanding of art as a form of inquiry into truth that proceeds by way of sensible beauty. Drawing upon the thought of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, McInerny argues for the unfashionable yet philosophically compelling view that art is essentially "mimetic," imitative of human action. But what does it mean for art to imitate human action? It means that art imitates the way human beings by nature quest for fulfillment, or happiness. In questing for fulfillment, human life takes the form of a story, and so the arts—all the arts, from painting to music, from fiction to film—are storytelling arts whose beauty reveals the truth about human happiness.

A Coming Chastisement: Our Lady’s Warnings to Servant of God Fr. Stefano Gobbi (Joanne Wright) - 11/13/24

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 16:55:06 +0000

11/13/24 - Fr. Stefano Gobbi was born in Dongo (province of Como, Italy) on March 22, 1930. He was ordained a priest in 1964 and belonged to the Company of Saint Paul. The focal point of his life occurred on May 8, 1972 during a pilgrimage to Fatima. While praying at the "Capelinha", the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Virgin Mary distinctly spoke to him in the form of what Christian spiritual theology defines as "interior locutions." Mary invited him to gather together his brother priests who would welcome the idea of consecrating themselves to Her Immaculate Heart, and of being deeply united with the Holy Father and the Church united to him. Fr. Gobbi asked Our Lady for a sign confirming this request, a sign which he received that same month at the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. On October 13, 1972, he and two other priests launched the MMP (Marian Movement of Priests), which has spread to the five continents and has seen Fr. Gobbi travel the whole world for meetings of prayer and fraternity called "cenacles".

Science at the Doorstep to God (Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J.) - 11/7/24

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 18:19:54 +0000

11/7/24 - Today, there is more science-based evidence for God, the soul, and life after death than ever before. Then why are scores of people turning to unbelief because of "science"? The answer is simple: they do not know the science. Science at the Doorstep to God presents in depth the latest evidence to turn the rising tide of unbelief. Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., synthesizes eight recent studies confirming an intelligent creator of physical reality as well as a transphysical soul capable of surviving bodily death. This is the most comprehensive scientific treatment of God and the afterlife to date. It combines natural scientific method, metaphysical method, medical studies, anthropological and genetics studies, and phenomenological descriptions, showing how each distinct method and data set reinforces the others.

The MAHA Movement: Make America Healthy Again (Becky Havens) - 11/4/24

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 17:07:41 +0000

11/4/24 - The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Movement, started by Donald Trump and Ronald F. Kennedy Jr., is igniting a health revolution in America. It aims to dismantle the corporate stranglehold on our government agencies that has led to widespread chronic disease, environmental degradation, and rampant public distrust. By aligning the health-conscious, independent-minded voters with Trump's proven ability to disrupt the status quo, MAHA seeks to drive a transformative agenda. This includes prioritizing regenerative agriculture, preserving natural habitats, and eliminating toxins from our food, water, and air. The PAC's purpose is to create a broad coalition of voters who are committed to reclaiming America's health, liberty, and environmental integrity—ensuring that these critical issues are front and center as we work to re-elect Donald Trump. MAHA isn't just a political entity; it's a movement with a singular purpose: to ensure that the next four years are defined by a commitment to public health, sustainable practices, and a government that truly serves the people.

Christ, Science, and Reason comprehensively presents the scientific evidence in support of Jesus, the Eucharist, and Mary. Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., closely examines the scientific evidence for The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus from the Shroud of Turin, the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist from three recent scientifically investigated Eucharistic miracles, and the supernatural dimensions of the apparitions of Mary manifest in the Tilma of Guadalupe, the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, and many healing miracles connected with the Grotto of Lourdes. The book makes clear that the Catholic Church is not anti-science, but quite the opposite—it is one of the most scientifically aware religious denominations in the world. It will also be clear that science is not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religious. On the contrary, its tools and methods give considerable credible evidence for all of them.

OPEN FORUM: Are Catholics Being Persecuted By the Biden-Harris Administration? (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/27/24

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 18:33:50 +0000

9/27/24 - Is it possible that our so-called-Catholic in-chief, Joe Biden, has been using his office to persecute his fellow Catholics alongside his running mate Kamala Harris?

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 21:40:19 +0000

9/23/24 - How can parents and leaders/educators work together in effectively forming the next generation of faithful Catholics? It is no longer acceptable for parents to send their kids to Catholic Schools or Parish Religious Education Programs without taking on their role as the primary educators of their children's faith.

We'll discuss possible solutions to the Catholic education crisis that troubles the world today.

Pope Francis Can’t Spot the Lesser Evil... That Should Be VERY Concerning for Catholics (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/20/24

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 21:31:25 +0000

9/20/24 - Pope Francis has been in the news this week for some disturbing comments that he made during a recent press conference. When asked how Catholics should determine whom to vote for in the upcoming election, the Pope responded: "One must choose the lesser evil. Which is the lesser evil? That lady or that gentleman? I don't know; each person must think and decide according to their own conscience."

How is a Catholic to respond to such a statement when one candidate holds such extreme pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ beliefs that directly contradict what we believe? The choice here seems like an obvious one...

The Devil’s Bagpipe: The True Life of Martin Luther (Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB) - 9/19/24

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:00:00 +0000

9/19/24 - Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB is a monk of the Abbey of the Most Holy Trinity in New Norcia, Western Australia. There, he serves as Director of the Institute for Benedictine Studies. He is a retreat master and liturgist. His interests include Medieval Latin literature, especially the lives of the saints. He is also an author at TAN Direction.

In The Devil's Bagpipe: The True Life of Martin Luther (translated by Fr. Nixon), we read about an ambitious Luther trying to obtain for himself the dignity of the cardinalate at a young age. We learn about the true motives for his objections to indulgences, which sprang principally from resentment at the loss of income for his own Augustinian Order. We witness also his bad temper and vitriolic tongue, his nocturnal conversations with demons (whether they were real or imagined), and his scandalous and degrading bouts of drunkenness and debauchery. This is a work which all Catholics should read, as it substantially modifies and corrects the popular but inaccurate "myth" of Luther, replacing it with a more balanced, credible and truthful account of the life, character and motives of a man who gravely distorted the Gospel of Christ and did untold damage to His one true Catholic Church.

Persecuted from Within | A Discussion with Alec Torres - 11/20/23

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Many Catholics have either left the Church or been scandalized by the errors or immorality rampant in her clergy. We've watched aghast as faithful Catholics have been restricted or punished without just cause, while those who confuse, contradict, or undermine the Faith are elevated. In this bold and urgent book, the authors notice an apparent absurdity: those most disciplined by the Church at this time are often least deserving of correction. This protracted state of confusion and injustice, plain for all to see, has shaken the faith of millions.

Far from being just another diatribe, these absorbing pages provide a deeply illuminating historical perspective, revealing how this chaotic period in the Church is hardly unprecedented — or unpredicted. Instead, it represents a recurring feature of life in the Church throughout her history and is even a part of the divine plan. With this context, you will be able to make sense of and discover solutions to our present suffering.

We're in challenging times, but we are made to rise up and meet the challenges before us with Christ. We will be proclaiming all that is good, true, and beautiful, applying it to real life, and we won't shy away from the difficult topics, especially lifting up the truth in those areas where it is most unpopular, and therefore most needed. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The disciple of Christ consents to 'live in the truth,' that is, in the simplicity of a life in conformity with the Lord's example, abiding in his truth. "If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth." Join us live on the radio, on YouTube, Facebook, or listen to the podcast!
