We often hear that Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism, and that’s true. But it’s also the fulfillment of two other ancient cultures, and the Lord used all three in the fullness of time to bring about the fullness of the true faith.
Fasting is an essential part of the Christian life, but most modern Christians are terrible at fasting. Is it because we’re weak, or because we don’t know how to do it? We’ll break down the practical steps to get started fasting.
How does a member of the Habsburg family—which for centuries ruled the Holy Roman Empire and other parts of Europe—continue the family’s legacy today? For Archduke Eduard Habsburg, it’s by sharing the Catholic Faith and Habsburg family values online and to everyone he encounters.
“Church shopping” has been a hotly debated topic in the Catholic world lately, and there’s a lot of bad advice being given out there. We’ll take a look at a Catholic’s obligations when it comes to finding a parish, including the “nuclear option”: the SSPX.
Books can influence our lives in many ways. What are the books that most impacted my life?
How much is too much when it comes to using AI in creative fields like art, writing, and filmmaking? Where do we draw the line?
Our guest on the podcast today argues that feminism has set itself up as a new religion; in fact, it is a fundamentally anti-Christian religion, with its own commandments, sacraments, and false virtues.
The Francis Pontificate saw a dramatic rise in the number of sedevacantists. Even though Francis is now gone, we sadly still have Catholics denying there is a valid pope. Why is this path a spiritual dead end?
How should Catholics view the Francis Pontificate? According to our guest, not very favorably. We'll look at why that pontificate was "disastrous" and what that means for Catholics defending the office of the papacy.
As the pro-life world prepares for this year’s March for Life, some pro-lifers are questioning the pro-life commitment of the Trump Administration, while others are defending it. Is this administration really pro-life or not?
Cardinal Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, distributed a 2-page report to all the Cardinals with his views on the liturgy. Frankly, it was embarrassing.
Last week Pope Leo gave his first "State of the World" address to the Vatican's diplomatic corps, in which he condemned war, abortion, and "Orwellian-style language." We'll break down the pope's priorities and his vision for the future.
Pope Leo called his first consistory this week, and promised to hold them regularly during his pontificate. Is this another example of the meeting-itis that seems to infect our Church hierarchy? Or could this be a good thing?

The capture and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro represents a new phase in Trump's aggressive foreign policy. Is he building an American Empire? Should Catholics support him in this effort?
Eric Sammons talks to his newly-married son Peter about how young men today can find a wife in a challenging dating culture.
2025 was a year of transitions, both in the papacy and the American presidency. After years of deepening crises, is the Church and the world turning a corner?
Modern technology is designed to trap you into a cycle of technocratic dependence and disconnection from both God and man. Catholic Tradition can set you free. Learn how today!
Since 2020, conspiracy theories have been running rampant, particularly in conservative and traditional Catholic circles. They range from questioning the narrative behind the Charlie Kirk assassination to denying the Holocaust. What are we to make of these theories?
Fr. John Perricone entered the seminary in 1970 and was ordained in 1976. He's seen the Church change in radical ways in that time, and he let's us know what it's been like to be a priest in a time of upheaval.
This week we marked the 60th anniversary of the closing of Vatican II, and the usual suspects tried to tell us that it still has wonderful fruits. Yet the reality on the ground tells us something quite different. Isn't it time to move on?

John Paul ll kissed a Koran in Morocco. John Paul ll called every religion to pray together in Assisi in October 1986. This event followed the World Wildlife Fund meeting in Assisi in September 1986 where representatives of all religions met together for the sake of the dictatorship of eco humanist secularism.

NATO was not "expanded", but the figuratively raped by Russia countries of Poland, Romania, Hungary, the Baltic states WANTED to live in a stable, secure situation without having to always hope that no Dlugin-type of Eurasian madman (Dlugin thinks I.e that Poland should not exist) will ascend to the Russian throne. If Russia wasn't a despotic s...hole these countries would feel secure on their own. btw since when do Americans negotiate with terrorists, did I miss something?

The purpose of Jesus when he came was to reveal God to us. The purpose of the church is to do the same. where the church authorities don't do that they are defective.
