The Mass is the most important activity Catholics engage in, yet I’ve found that most Catholics don’t really understand its purpose. We’ll break it down today.
The current Israeli-American war against Iran involves the three great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which imparts the conflict with serious religious implications. We’ll look at how this war is—and isn’t—a religious war.
Whenever the looming threat of an AI-world is discussed, the biggest fear often expressed is a Terminator- or Matrix-like apocalypse that would wipe out the human race. That’s not going to happen, and it’s actually a distraction from the real apocalyptic threats posed by artificial intelligence.
With the launching of a US-Israeli war against Iran, we’ll look at this conflict from both a moral and political perspective.
Even though the Rosary is immensely popular among Catholics, I’m convinced that its power is still underestimated. Learn how the Rosary changed my life and can change yours as well.
JD Vance is one of the most practicing Catholic politicians of our time…and he may be the next President of the United States. How should Catholics evaluate Vance and what could his impact be on the country and the Church going forward?
Relations between the Vatican and the SSPX have deteriorated quickly. We'll look at how we got to this point, and if there is any path to reconciliation going forward.
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.
Seventy years after its publication, and twenty-five years since the movies were released, the Lord of the Rings continues to be a cultural phenomenon. We talk with literary and Tolkien expert Joseph Pearce about its impact and its underlying message. We also get his take on the Peter Jackson film adaptations.
Under Pope Benedict, relations between traditional Catholics and the Vatican were friendly; under Pope Francis, they were openly hostile. What is the state of that relationship under Pope Leo?
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.

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.
