The Conor Gallagher Show

Sr. Deirdre Byrne, a surgeon, Army veteran, and religious sister, tells the story of her friend Sister Philip Marie, whose shocking nursing-home care involved heavy sedation and the withholding of food and water. In this episode she joins Conor to discuss why Catholics need to wake up to this issue and how families can spot warning signs & advocate for vulnerable loved ones. Sister Deirdre also describes her work in abortion pill reversal and why she sees both issues as part of a broader fight over the dignity of human life.

Joshua Charles of Eternal Christendom joins Conor to expose the history and ideology behind Freemasonry, the Church’s warnings about secret societies, the Great Apostasy and the “mystery of iniquity,” and the growing rejection of the supernatural in Western society. They also examine the Founding Fathers, the decline of Christendom, the possibility of a Third Temple and the Antichrist, and what Catholics should make of the spiritual battle unfolding around them. This conversation will give you a sobering look at the spiritual forces behind the attacks on Holy Mother Church—and the coming trials for which all Catholics must prepare.📕Use Coupon Code CGS50 to get 50% off the book, The War of the Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization: https://tanbooks.com/products/books/war-of-the-antichrist/Learn more about Joshua Charles and his work at Eternal Christendom:🌐 https://eternalchristendom.com/📺 https://youtube.com/@eternal_christendom?si=Jd_R_VLK8vVtWwu4👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/conorgallaghershowInstagram: https://instagram.com/conorgallaghershowTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@conorgallaghershowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qtdMK8FqjAQ3ODlFXCEYt?si=ae4598b16c1d4cdeApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conor-gallagher-show/id1789476722📱TAN Digital: The Catholic App You Can Trust.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux is remembered as the “Little Flower,” yet beneath the flowers was a surprisingly intense spirituality of suffering, sacrifice, and radical love. Fr. Joseph Spence goes beyond the familiar image of Thérèse to uncover the profound spirituality behind her Little Way: from her confidence in God’s mercy and her willingness to suffer for love, to her battle against scrupulosity and fear, and her deep spousal relationship with Jesus Christ. This episode will show you a Thérèse whose spirituality is far more profound and intensive than you ever realized. 📕Use Coupon Code CGS50 to get 50% off Fr.

As a saint of the 20th century, Padre Pio feels closer to us than many saints—and his recent example makes the call to holiness remarkably real. Conor sits down with Luciano Lamonarca, founder of the Saint Pio Foundation, to explore the extraordinary life of one of the Church’s most beloved modern saints. Luciano shares a personal story of how Padre Pio has worked in his own life, while discussing the saint’s stigmata, his supernatural knowledge in the confessional, his remarkable sanctity, and much more. 🌐 To learn more about Luciano’s work, visit: https://saintpioofpietrelcina.org💲Use Coupon Code CGS50 to get 50% off works about Saint Padre Pio from TAN Books: 📕 Padre Pio and America: https://tanbooks.com/products/books/padre-pio-and-america/📕 Wounds of Love: The Story of Saint Padre Pio: https://tanbooks.com/products/books/wounds-of-love-the-story-of-saint-padre-pio/👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/conorgallaghershowInstagram: https://instagram.com/conorgallaghershowTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@conorgallaghershowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qtdMK8FqjAQ3ODlFXCEYt?si=ae4598b16c1d4cdeApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conor-gallagher-show/id1789476722📶 Switch to ICATHOLIC MOBILE: the Catholic wireless provider.
