Section 1: Understanding the Real PresenceWe should always dress in our sunday best. Why women should veil at holy massActive participation in the liturgy Practice of receiving the Eucharist on the tongue.Preparing for the Traditional Latin Mass1. **Latin Language:** The TLM is celebrated predominantly in Latin, offering a unique linguistic experience compared to the vernacular Novus Ordo Mass.2. **Ad Orientem Orientation:** The priest often faces the altar together with the congregation, fostering a shared focus on God, distinct from the versus populum orientation in many Novus Ordo Masses.3. **Silence and Contemplation:** Expect more extended periods of silence in the TLM, encouraging personal reflection and contemplation.4. **Chant and Polyphony:** Gregorian Chant and polyphonic singing are frequently integral to the TLM, adding a distinct musical element.5. **Liturgical Actions:** The TLM involves intricate liturgical gestures, such as specific postures, genuflections, and ritual movements, contributing to a sense of reverence.6. **Communion Reception:** Communicants often receive Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling at the communion rail, offering a traditional practice distinct from standing and receiving in the hand.7. **Unique Prayers:** Unique prayers, such as the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, Last Gospel, and various prayers said silently by the priest, characterize the TLM.8. **Rich Symbolism:** The TLM incorporates profound symbolic gestures and rituals, emphasizing the transcendent nature of the Mass.9. **Use of Incense:** Incense is frequently used, adding a sensory experience to the worship and symbolizing prayers rising to heaven.10. **Liturgical Calendar:** The TLM follows the traditional liturgical calendar, which may include distinct feast days and seasons compared to the Novus Ordo.11. **Different Missals:** Worshippers typically use hand missals in the TLM to follow the prayers and readings, in contrast to participation aids often provided in the Novus Ordo.In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Personally, I love a beautiful, reverent liturgy. It is a source of great love, devotion, and transcendence of the mind and heart to the things of God. But what good is a beautiful Sunday liturgy, what good is the thousands of years of refinement, what good is the most sublime of prayers, if that magnanimity of soul only exists for an hour a two a week. If every other moment of your week is dedicated to the vulgar, what good is beauty? So today I want to help you to recognize the vulgarity of the world and implore you to reject it in favor of a sublime life.  In my appeal I do want to emphasize that this is NOT an on and off switch that we can just reject all things vulgar without a special grace from our Lady. I myself fall into many of the habits of the Vulgar World. Living a sublime life is like any virtue, it takes time, the will to change, and repetition. So please do not feel that you are being personally attacked by anything said today, every aspect applies to me as well. Before I finish my introduction I want to give everyone an outline, in hopes it will help you to remember at least some aspects of the talk. First, I want to expose the vulgar-egalitarian revolution for what it is. To show you that it is present in every aspect of our lives. I will be focusing on clothing, language, food, and actions. Much more could be said about movies, books, music, etc. but perhaps for a future date.Second, I will explain what I mean by the sublime life. How is sublimity differentiated from beauty? I will demonstrate that to live a sublime life is to live a divine life, which necessitates being an anti-egalitarian. I will give examples of what this looks like in real life and prove that our exterior life reflects and affects our interior life. Thirdly, and most importantly I will conclude with Our Lady as the exemplar of the sublime life. Finally, as I conclude my introduction with an invocation to Our Lady and to the Angels, that they may lift our minds and hearts to heavenly things and fill us with a desire for the sublime and a hatred for what is vulgar. The attire of the body and the laughter of the teeth and the gait of the man show what he is.

‘The Synod Process Is a Pandora's Box': A Cry of Alarm That Raises Hopehttps://www.returntoorder.org/2023/09/the-synod-process-is-a-pandoras-box-a-cry-of-alarm-that-raises-hopes/ Get the book now! The Synodal Process Is a Pandora's Box is now available for $10.95.Click here to get your copy now.Moreover, a significant part of Catholic public opinion is beginning to show disquiet at the excessive invocation of the Holy Spirit as a propeller of the synodal process. This invocation, made as it were in a definitive and final decree, seems to belie the excessive haste of progressive minorities to impose some largely debatable issues and other issues that the Church's Magisterium has already closed definitively.Suppose we add to this the synodal documents' often hermetic language, understandable only to insiders. In that case, we understand how the real People of God feel “lost, confused, perplexed and even disappointed,” to paraphrase John Paul II.11TFP's The Synodal Process Is a Pandora's Box has come out precisely in this confusing and seemingly inexplicable situation.By explaining what is at stake simply and directly, the book has put together the pieces of a puzzle. Based on statements by its leading advocates, the work made it clear that the synodal process is neither transparent nor spontaneous but yet another attempt to revolutionize the Church. Many of the faithful have felt mocked and have begun to raise their voices so that “[people] began to make explicit [their] fears about what might happen in the Church after the assembly.”12The future is in God's hands through the universal mediation of Mary Most Holy. However, one thing is certain: any attempt to change the Church's divine constitution or infallible doctrine is hopeless, as Our Lord Jesus Christ founded the Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against her.Adrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

The goal of Christian Civilization, from a certain point of view, is to create a state of things where everything invites one to the practice of virtue and works against the practice of vice.

Canon Law has relegated the holy days to local bishops or provincial synodal decision. There are actually, as of 1993, only seven states in the U.S. that still celebrate the Ascension on Thursday rather than the following Sunday. I was surprised to find that Hawaii and Canada have only two holy days of obligation, Christmas and the Immaculate Conception for the former, and Christmas and the solemnity of the Mother of God (January 1) for the latter.https://catholicism.org/ascension-thursday.html St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P. – Sermon on the Ascension https://www.svfsermons.org/B189_Ascension.htm Adrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

Devotion to Mary as Model of Penance Intro Catch up for a second about Lent25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. prayer Car accident had too much to drink, texting and driving and blasting music you strike a car killing a young man the only son of an infertile mother. If you are a man of any sort of conscious the moment of your freedom from prison you would fling your self to the feet of that mother and beg her forgivness. For who could not look at that woman and not weep at what she lost. How much more you who took her son from her. Now this becomes even worse when we realize that our lady is not someone elses mother for she is the mother of God and our mother Have you ever gravely offended your siblings and you get chastised by your mother and you apologize to your mother for your behavior yet your mother says don't apologize to me apologize to your brother.Here we have a right instinct to apologize to your mother for to offend her children is to offend the parents. Yet the mother's response is also right, for the terminus of the apology should be with the directly grieved party.So thus with our lady who takes all we have and directs us back to her son. Model of confession: After sinning repent to her as the son does who offends his brother  She will direct you to the confessional After coming out of the confessional fall to your knees and repent as the drunk driver does to the mother of the son you killedOne more story, the mother who forgive her sons murderer If this can be true of a natural virtue how much more is she who is all virtue  Prayer to our lady of sorrowsScripture28 He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.33 And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;35 And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.Adrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

A moral and intellectual paralysis had fallen on Christendom with no progress in learning, arts, or civilization.__________________________________________________________________________________________Claim: Papist  priest pretended, by their senseless mummery, to convert the simple Bread and Wine into the actual body and blood of Christ.

Interview first aired on Catholic Drive Time a product of the Guadalupe Radio Network aired across the GRN and Station of the Cross Radio.The Once and Future Roman Rite: Returning to the Traditional Latin Liturgy after Seventy Years of Exile. Author: Peter Kwasniewski, PhDIn his latest book, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski argues that, ever since the new liturgical books following the Second Vatican Council came into force, Roman Catholic faithful have suffered the effects of a hasty and far-reaching reform permeated with nominalism, voluntarism, Protestantism, rationalism, antiquarianism, hyperpapalism, and other modern errors. Man is not master over divine liturgy, Dr. Kwasniewski emphasizes; rather, all of us are called to be stewards of the sacred, from the lowest-ranking layman to the pope himself. Dr. Kwasnieski shows that sacred Tradition is the guiding principle for all authentic Christian liturgy, which originates from Christ and is guided by the Holy Spirit throughout the life of the Church. His principal thesis in this work is that the prominent identifying traits of the classical Roman Rite—and indeed of all traditional rites, Eastern and Western—are absent from the Novus Ordo, estranging it from their company and making it impossible to call it “the Roman Rite.” To respond to this crisis of rupture, Dr. Kwasniewski calls for a full return to the traditional rite, the Roman Rite in its robust, perennial richness, for which no special permission is or could ever be needed—as exposited by Pope Benedict XVI. Fidelity to the traditional Latin Liturgy is, at its root, fidelity to the Roman Church and to Christ Himself, Who has lovingly inspired the growth and perfection of our religious rites for two thousand years. This awe-inspiring gift of Tradition allows us to taste, even now, the banquet of the promised land of heaven.Adrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

On Classical Reformed Theology with Christian Wagner (Scholastic Answers) Outline of the showTwo brief notes on the topic1. Don't be jerks2. Be careful1. The Reformers     1. First Generation     2. Second Generation     3. Polemical Context         1. Formed an early iteration of scholasticism that was chiefly polemical (although, its full flowering doesn't come until the 1580's in replying to Bellarmine)     4. Pre-Tridentine2. Early Orthodoxy (1565-1620)     1. Needed to build structure     2. Thus          1. First, needed confessions               1. Protestant Magisterium               2. Second, needed didactic theology     3. These are the guys that Bellarmine and Suarez were responding to3. High Orthodoxy (1620-1700)     1. "during the period of early orthodoxy (ca. 1560– 1620), theology was developed and worked out primarily from the basis of the Reformed confessions. The period of high orthodoxy (ca. 1620–1700), however, saw comprehensive dogmatic works in which the results of exegesis, dogmatic formulations, polemical elements, and expositions of the practical implications of doctrine were combined into an imposing whole. The scholasticism of high orthodoxy was thus characterized by increasing precision in its theological apparatus. This allowed dogmatic materialto be worked out further and caused the number of polemical topics to increase. High orthodoxy was not a time for developing new systems but rather for building up what had been inherited from the theology of early orthodoxy"      2. Catholic Resourcement          1.

The Church in her wisdom has chosen the feasts of St. Stephen, John and the Holy Innocents in the 3 days following the Nativity. Why is that? What's the connection. Find out here. St. Stephen – December 26In the fourth step, that hatred increased and the people who opposed St. Stephen began to gnash their teeth in fury. What was the object of that hatred? It was goodness, in and of itself. They hated the good because the good is good, and not for any other reason. A person who does not understand reality would say: "No, they didn't like him because he made this or that small error when he was explaining his topic, or he lacked the skill to address a particular matter." Such a person has an erroneous interpretation of reality.https://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j107sdStephen12-26.htm St. John the Evangelist – December 27After martyrdom, the most noble and courageous sacrifice one can make to God is that of the virginity and chastity. This is why the liturgical calendar chose the first day after Christmas to celebrate of martyrdom of St. Stephen, model of the martyrs, and the second day, December 27, to celebrate the feast of St. John, model of virgins.https://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j160sd_StJohnEvangelist_12-27.html The Holy Innocents – December 28Is there reason to believe that those children were true martyrs? Where is the merit to obtain the crown of martyrdom? To this doubt, I answer: Would the goodness of Christ be defeated by the cruelty of Herod? Could that impious king order those innocents killed, and Christ not crown those who died because of Him?https://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j231sd_HolyInnocents_12-28.html Adrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

I talk about English Catholic Tradition with my friend Timothy Craig. A lot of our conversation is coming from Faith of Our Fathers: A History of True England by Joseph PearceFrom the back of the book:The Catholic Church has been a part of English history since the arrival of Christian missionaries to Roman Britain in the first century AD. England was evangelized in these early centuries to such an extent that, by the time the Romans withdrew in the fifth century, the Celtic population was largely Catholic.Anglo-Saxon England has rightly been considered a land of saints. From St. Bede's account of the history of the early Church to the reign of the holy king, St. Edward the Confessor, Saxon England was ablaze with the light of Christ.This Catholic heart was ripped from the people of England, against their will and in spite of their heroic resistance, by the reign of the tyrannical Tudors. This made England once again a land of saints, though it was now a land of martyrs, Catholic priests and laity being put to death for practicing the Faith. The martyrdoms continued for 150 years, followed by a further 150 years of legal and political persecution.In the nineteenth century, against all the odds, there was a great Catholic revival, heralded by the conversion of St. John Henry Newman, which would continue into the twentieth century. Much of the greatest literature of the past century has been written by literary converts, such as G. K. Chesterton, Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene and J. R. R. Tolkien.This whole exciting, faith-filled story is told within this single-volume history of "true England", the England which remained true to the Faith through thick and thin, in times both merry and perilous. It is a story which is not only worth telling but worth celebrating.https://ignatius.com/faith-of-our-fathers-ffhtep/ Contact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzsprout.comIG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca

No."Follow-Up on the Thanksgiving Indult, by Sharon KabelGREGORY DIPIPPOOur thanks once again to Sharon Kabel for sharing her research with NLM, this time following up on her November article on the day-after-Thanksgiving indult for eating meat.In November of last year, I shared a provocative hypothesis: thanks to the discovery of new evidence, it was possible for the first time to confirm that the long-rumored American “Turkey Indult” directly from the Pope did in fact occur, although not quite the way we thought.Participants in the “Turkey Indult” conversation generally fall into three camps:● No, the Turkey Indult did not happen; it has been conflated with diocesan permissions for indults.● Yes, Pope Pius XII did issue a Turkey Indult in 1958 that remained applicable beyond 1958.● You're still talking about this?My position was a fourth way: The papally-issued Turkey Indult happened in 1958 only, and was likely issued by Pope St. John XXIII, not Pius XII. And yes, we are still talking about it, thank you. (For brevity's sake, I will refer to the event in question as the Turkey Indult throughout the article.)"https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2021/02/follow-up-on-thanksgiving-indult-by.html#.Y31VZprMKUk"On the Mythical Pius XII Thanksgiving Indult: Guest Article by Sharon KabelGREGORY DIPIPPOWe are grateful once again to Sharon Kabel for sharing her research with us, this time on the so-called Thanksgiving indult ascribed to Pope Pius XII.Every year around Thanksgiving, a flurry of social media posts make the rounds in traditional Catholic circles, concerning a mysterious “Turkey Indult” from the 1950s. They all follow the same essential pattern: an assertion that it is widely known that Pius XII granted an indult to Catholics in the United States to dispense them from the obligation to abstain from meat on the Friday after Thanksgiving."https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2020/11/on-mythical-pius-xii-thanksgiving.html#.Y31VZprMKUk Contact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzsprout.comIG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca

 A Plea for Intolerance Venerable Fulton J. Sheen "America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance. It is not. It is suffering from tolerance: tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so much overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded. The man who can make up his mind in an orderly way, as a man might make up his bed, is called a bigot; but a man who cannot make up his mind, any more than he can make up for lost time, is called tolerant and broadminded. A bigoted man is one who refuses to accept a reason for anything; a broadminded man is one who will accept anything for a reason—providing it is not a good reason. It is true that there is a demand for precision, exactness, and definiteness, but it is only for precision in scientific measurement, not in logic. The breakdown that has produced this unnatural broadmindedness is mental, not moral. The evidence for this statement is threefold: the tendency to settle issues not by arguments but by words, the unqualified willingness to accept the authority of anyone on the subject of religion, and, lastly, the love of novelty. Voltaire boasted that if he could find but ten wicked words a day he could crush the “infamy” of Christianity. He found the ten words daily, and even a daily dozen, but he never found an argument, and so the words went the way of all words and the thing, Christianity, survived. Today, no one advances even a poor argument to prove that there is no God, but they are legion who think they have sealed up the heavens when they used the word “anthropomorphism.” This word is just a sample of the catalogue of names which serve as the excuse for those who are too lazy to think. One moment's reflection would tell them that one can no more get rid of God by calling Him “anthropomorphic” than he can get rid of a sore throat by calling it “streptococci.” As regards the use of the term “anthropomorphism,” I cannot see that its use in theology is less justified than the use in physics of the term “organism,” which the new physicists are so fond of employing. Certain words like “reactionary” or “medieval” are tagged on the Catholic Church and used with that same disrespect with which a man may sneer at a woman's age. Mothers do not cease to be mothers because their sons grow up, and the Mother Church of the Christian world, which began not in Boston but in Jerusalem, is not to be dispossessed of her glorious title simply because her sons leave home. Some day they may be glad to return and their return will be the truest “homecoming” the world has ever seen.Not only does the substitution of words for argument betray the existence of this false tolerance, but also the readiness of many minds to accept as an authority in any field an individual who becomes a famous authority in one particular field. The assumption behind journalistic religion is that because a man is clever in inventing automobiles, he is thereby clever in treating the relationship between Buddhism and Christianity; that a professor who is an authority on the mathematical interpretation of atomic phenomena is thereby an authority on the interpretation of marriage; and that am an who knows something about illumination can throw light on the subject of immortality, or perhaps even put out the lights on immortality. There is a limit to the transfer of training, and no one who paints beautiful pictures with his right hand can, in a day and at the suggestion of a reporter, paint an equally good one with his left hand..."Contact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzsprout.comIG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca

“I still recall the catechism lessons in which the Papacy was explained to me, its divine institution, its powers, its mission. My heart of a child (I was about nine years old) was filled with admiration, with rapture, with enthusiasm: I had found the ideal to which I would dedicate my whole life. From then to now, my love for this ideal has only grown. And I pray to Our Lady that she ever increase it in me, until my dying breath. I desire that the last act of my intellect may be an act of faith in the Papacy; that my last act of love may be an act of love for the Papacy. Thus, in fact, I would die in the peace of the elect, well united to Mary my Mother, and through her to Jesus, my God, my King and my excellent Redeemer.” https://www.pliniocorreadeoliveira.info/UKCR_0601_credo_ecclesiam.htm The bond of obedience to the successor of Peter, which we will never break, which we venerate in the most profound depths of our soul and to which we tribute our highest love, this bond we kiss at the very moment in which, overwhelmed with sorrow, we affirm our position. And on our knees, respectfully looking to the figure of H.H the Pope Paul VI, we express all our fidelity to the Papacy.In this filial act we say to the Pastor of Pastors: Our soul is yours, our life is yours. Order us to do whatever you desire. Only do not order us to do nothing in face of the attacking red wolf. To this, our conscience is opposed.-Declaration of Resistance to the Vatican OstpolitikIt is well known that Pope Pius IX, who later became a great Pope, was liberal in the first phase of his pontificate. There were no liberal errors in his documents, but he adopted a series of very liberal attitudes.At that time, Italy was divided into many small kingdoms, principates and free cities that made up the colorful, picturesque, efficient and stable Italy that we admire. The revolutionaries, however, had a plan to unify Italy and destroy those organic cells. They supported the liberal Pope and used to shout in the streets Viva Pio IX! as a rallying cry for the anarquists, socialists, members of the Mafia and Camorra, and others affiliated to the sect of Mazzini [the leader of the Carbonari, an Italian Masonry]. The cry - Viva Pio IX! - became therefore a symbol of the liberal and Masonic campaign to unify Italy by combating those organic small thrones.https://traditioninaction.org/SOD/j234sd_ChairPeter_01_18.html without a tribute of filial devotion and unrestricted obedience to the “sweet Christ on earth,” the pillar and infallible foundation of the Truth….“Where the Church is, there is Christ; where Peter is, there is the Church”. It is then to the Holy Father that we direct our love, our enthusiasm, our dedication….We have not the slightest doubt in our heart about any of the theses that constitute this work. Nevertheless, we subject them unrestrictedly to the judgment of the Vicar of Christ and are disposed to renounce immediately any one of them if it depart even slightly from the teaching of the Holy Church, our Mother, the Ark of Salvation, and the Gate of Heaven.-RCRSt. Leo the Great, who reigned as Pope from 440 to 461, was one of the greatest Popes of History. He fought against numerous heresies that agitated the Church, principally against the Manicheans and Pelagians. In 452 he faced Attila and convinced the scourge of God and his Huns not to attack Rome and to leave Italy. He was also able to thwart the destruction of Rome by Genseric three years later.https://traditioninaction.org/SOD/j016sdSt.LeoGreat4-11.htm Adrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus - There is No Salvation Outside the Church - This is a hard saying, who can accept this, are the words of the jews upon hearing the difficult teachings of Our Lord. This most esteemed mystery of the faith has been always and everywhere taught by the Church. I will first explain to you how we are saved, then I will explain this most important dogma of the faith and those who to no fault of their own do not know the Church, and the dire consequences of denying such an important truth. But first let us salute the Virgin Mary. HAIL MARY… Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Our Lady of Pompeii, pray for us! Our Lady Hammer of Heretics, pray for us! St. Vincent Ferrer, Pray for us! St. Leonard of Port Maurice, Pray for us! If you remember nothing else from what I have just said, let me break this down in the simplest manner possible, by anticipating some of your questions. Who will be saved? Those who die in a state of sanctifying grace. Who will be damned? Those who die in a state of mortal sin. How is one placed into sanctifying grace? By faith and Baptism. Can one lose sanctifying grace? Yes, but one mortal sin. Can one reconcile with God? Yes, by the Sacrament of Confession. Here is where a large amount of my information came from https://catholicism.org/category/outside-the-church-there-is-no-salvation Catholicism.orgAdrian Social MediaIG: @ffonzeTwitter: @AdrianFonzeFacebook: Adrian FonsecaYouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations

What is the object of the All Saints Day? It is the veneration of all souls that are in Heaven, even if they are not officially canonized or beatified. Anyone who is in Heaven is a holy person. He or she is in the presence of God, sees God face-to-face, and is entirely pleasing to God...https://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j099sdAllSaints_11-1.htm All Souls Day has great significance for us. It is the day when we pray for all the faithful and all the souls who have died and possibly are in Purgatory.

Moral Relativism vs Moral ObjectivismJohn 1833 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth.

Interview with Fr. Thomas Crean OP on what a Catholic Government looks like. Fr Thomas Crean OP was born in 1973, in Harpenden, England.  He studied at St. John's College, Oxford.  He entered the Dominican Order in 1995, and was ordained priest in 2001.  He received the licence in theology from the Institut Thomas d'Aquin in Toulouse and the doctorate in theology from the International Theological Institute in Trumau, Austria.He has worked in parochial and hospital ministry and as a university chaplain.  He has taught at various institutions of higher education in the United Kingdom and abroad.  His books include A Catholic Replies to Professor Dawkins; The Mass and the Saints; Integralism: a Manual of Political Philosophy (co-written with Alan Fimister); and St Luke's Gospel: a commentary for believers.  His book Florence became a New Sion: a defence of the 'Filioque' and the Council of Florence is due to be published in Autumn 2022 by Emmaus Academic.He is currently resident at Holy Cross Priory, Leicester.  He is a Fellow of the Dialogos Institute.http://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/thomas-crean/thomas-crean.htm What legitimate governments exist?What is integralism? Does it mean monarchy? What is distributism and how does it relate? How do you create an integralist government? People are fed up with "democracy" so among faithful Catholics there is more and more talk about other forms of government like Fascism, Monarchy, Distributism, Catholic Anarchy, Theocracy, Solidarity Party, and Feudalism.Can we fix our current forms of government or do they need to fundamentally change? How would a Catholic country look like? Do we tolerate other religions? Does the Church run the country? Can non-Catholic's hold office? What level of obedience do these Catholic rulers owe to their bishops and the pope? Two swords doctrine? What is it? I have been told that the Church no longer believes this, is that true? Where does the supernatural element play in here? I am personally thinking of the coming of the reign of Mary and the prophecy of the Great French Monarch. Should we take into account private revelation into this conversation? Contact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzsprout.comIG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca

St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P._On the Assumption of the BVM   Sermon I   C 324-332Luke 10:38-42 As they continued their journey he entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary (who) sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me."  The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."    Mary hath chosen the best part. Luke 10.  Just as the present feast and solemnity is of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and this feast is the end and the closure of the life of the Virgin Mary, so therefore it is to be spoken about her life.  And we have not only intellectual speculations but also moral instructions.  But if in our other sermons we turn to the Virgin asking for grace, how much more now ought we return to refer to her because we intend to preach about her, so that we might call forth devotion, let us now salute the Virgin Mary etc. And the theme is resumed.Contact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzsprout.comIG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca

Tradition holds that St. Elias was assumed into Heaven and will come again as the forerunner of Christ to do battle with the Antichrist. This is all about that! “And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold, a fiery chariot and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” (2 Kings 2:11)Elias was indeed covered with the whirlwind, and his spirit was filled up in Eliseus: in his days he feared not the prince, and no man was more powerful than he. (Ecclesiasticus 48:13)Behold, I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers: lest I come, and strike the earth with anathema.  (Mal 4:5–6) And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.  And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. (Mk 9:3–4)And I will give unto my two witnesses: and they shall prophesy, a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks that stand before the Lord of the earth.  And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: And they have power over waters, to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

In this Letter the Pope also introduced five new mysteries of the rosary to be included with the traditional ones.The following are the Mysteries of Light as proposed by Fr Preca, and by the Pope, respectively.According to Fr Preca:When Our Lord Jesus Christ, after his baptism in the Jordan, was led into the desert.When Our Lord Jesus Christ showed, by word and miracles, that He is true God.When Our Lord Jesus Christ taught the Beatitudes on the mountain.When Our Lord Jesus Christ was transfigured on the mountain.When Our Lord Jesus Christ had his last Meal with the Apostles.According to the Pope:Jesus' Baptism in the river Jordan;His self-manifsestation at the wedding at Cana;His proclamation of the Kingdom of God, with his call to conversion;.His transfiguration before the Apostles on Mount Tabor.His institution of the Eucharist, as the sacramental expression of the Paschal Mystery.http://www.catholicplanet.com/articles/article76.htm life of Fr.

I respond to an email I got saying that Pro-Choice Catholics are a real option.Here's the text of the emailAdrian, today is the last day that I will listen to your podcast. You presume that all Catholics agree abiut abortion and choice . Perhaps your Podcast is kind of like Fox News - there to present one viewpoint.I am Democrat, a mother,  a Catholic and pro choice. I'm also pro life. I am against the death penalty, and I do not wish for any woman to have to go through an abortion. Unfortunately those on the right view “life” through a very narrow lens. And this is the reason why I am so disgusted by podcasts like yours that within the first two minutes talk about “killing babies“. No one, I repeat, no one, wants to kill babies. Everyone wants a baby to be born into a loving household. Unfortunately that is not always how it works. Pregnancies occur for a number of reasons. This might be a newsflash for you sir, but men participate in pregnancies. There's no conversation about the man's role in any of this, ever.If the Catholic Church was truly pro-life, it would be the first in line to champion for national healthcare, excellent prenatal care, a support system for all women before during and after the pregnancies, and strive to ensure that every child from birth through adulthood receives an equitable and excellent education family support and healthcare. Where is that part of the conversation? You can't talk about being pro life if you don't want to fully engage in the entirety of the coversation.I will not listen to your podcast again, and I would not encourage any of my friends to listen to it. Shame on you for fanning the flames.MonicaContact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzspro...IG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca

Also, “421 women have died as a result of legal abortion.Abortion needed for Health reasons: only five percent of all abortions are done for the mother's physical or psychological health.  Rape and incest are cited as reasons for less than 1% of all abortionsWhy do women get abortions? 1. Unready for responsibility 2. Can't afford baby now 3. Concern about how having a baby would change her life. Children being abused: In 1973, when abortion became legal in the United States, there were 167,000 cases of child abuse and neglect reported.  Yet in 1980 there were 785,100 cases – an increase of 370% from 1973.  Furthermore, in 1987 there were 2,025,200 cases reported, which represents an increase of 1112%.“back-alley abortions.” | ” Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of the National Abortion Rights Action League, admits that his group lied about the number of women who died from illegal abortions when testifying before the Supreme Court in 1972.  “We spoke of 5,000 – 10,000 deaths a year…. I confess that I knew the figures were totally false … it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?”   https://texasrighttolife.com/abortion-myths/ Contact Me:Email: FonsecaProduction@gmail.comWebsite: http://catholicconversations.buzzspro...IG: @ffonzeFacebook: Adrian Fonseca Facebook: Catholic Conversations Twitter: @AdrianFonzeYouTube: Catholic ConversationsYouTube: Adrian Fonseca
