Episode 1 -The Way of Mystery: The Eucharist and Moral Living– Placing the Eucharist as the center of who we are as Catholics part 1 The post WOM1 – The Eucharist and Moral Living – The Way of Mystery with Deacon James Keating – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Carla Lynch to unpack her outrageous journey from Charismatic, Evangelical Christianity into full communion with the Catholic Church. Carla's journey is one of a kind, beginning when her Evangelical Youth Group visited a well-known Catholic Church – the beauty, the stillness, and the devout worship of the Catholics she saw there coming up-ended her understanding of Catholicism and planted a seed that would slowly germinate and grow until she couldn't avoid it's presence any longer. From there, her story only gets even more wild. Carla's journey is amazing and I truly hope you enjoy it.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Patrick opens with heartfelt prayer and listener calls, tackling questions about Catholic marriage, annulments, and conscience, while weaving in stories of parents facing adult children’s addiction. When John from Austin joins to share his journey to sobriety, the conversation shifts to hope and practical support. The pledge drive pulses in the background, offering gifts and a chance at a Poland pilgrimage with Drew Mariani, as Patrick reminds everyone that listener support fuels every moment. Lisa - My cousin is divorced and dating a man whose wife is deceased. What is the situation between her and this man if they marry? She cites Matthew 5:32 in support of getting married. (01:22) Email – My adult children are not doing well and I’m disappointed in them, even embarrassed. I know it sounds selfish, but I don’t know what to say to people when they ask how they are doing. (05:41) John - I am a son of parents that struggle with alcoholism. I notice that the power of prayer does help. (15:00) Josie (email) - One of your fellow employees said that we should NEVER ask someone to go against his or her conscience, including those Catholics who don't want to get married in the church. How can you not be on the same page for such an important issue? (27:35) Preston (email) - Over the years, I have had this increasing despondency, like a desolation of the soul. Sometimes, I wonder, “What if it’s all a lie?” (41:39)

In this episode of the Made Good podcast, Bishop Athanasius Schneider shares his profound insights shaped by his experiences growing up in the persecuted church in Soviet Kazakhstan. He emphasizes the importance of fortitude in faith, especially in the face of modern challenges such as materialism and relativism. The conversation explores the role of the Virgin Mary as a model of faith, the significance of understanding Scripture through the Church Fathers, and the necessity of clarity in Church doctrine. Bishop Schneider also addresses the unique challenges faced by women today, particularly in relation to motherhood, and offers encouragement for those seeking marriage. He concludes with practical advice for young Catholics on deepening their faith and prayer life.

In part 1, Fr. Chris Alar gave amazing facts you didn't know about Baptism, Confession, and the Eucharist. Here in Part 2, he continues with what we need to know about Confirmation, Marriage (is yours valid?), the Priesthood, and Anointing of the Sick. What is covered will surprise you since what we thought we knew as Catholics is often not complete.

The Temple in Jerusalem as an image of our own soul; it is now the place where God dwells. Yet like those in Jerusalem old old, we divorce ourselves from God through mortal sin and seeking after those things that have nothing to do with the supernatural life. To bring us back into the life of grace, God has sent saints into the world to serve as models of holiness and repentance, including Ss. John Vianney, Lawrence, and Philomena.

A lot of Catholics know at least a little about the process for those who who wish to be baptized Catholic or come into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. It is a process formerly known as RCIA, but is now OCIA. However, we can all do a little better job of evangelization by inviting people into the process, people we are in relationship with, our friends and family.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of Andrew and Spencer Klavan, a father and son political commentator duo.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

In today's program, Tom concludes a two-part series with guest Greg Durel. Here's TBC executive director Tom McMahon.Tom: Thanks, Gary. Our topic – this is part two – our topic has been Roman Catholicism, and in particular, the pope at this airing is visiting the United States, so we want to address that. In order to do that, I have Greg Durel, a good friend of mine, who's the pastor of Heritage Bible Church in Gretna, Louisiana, and he has a weekday radio ministry that is devoted to educating Catholics in biblical doctrine. As I mentioned last week, like myself, Greg grew up in the Roman Catholic Church, so he knows Catholicism experientially as well as his study of the Catholic Church tradition and its dogmas. So Greg, welcome back to Search the Scriptures 24/7.Greg: Well, thanks for having me, Tom!

In today's episode Mike speaks with Mike Shreve about how growing up Catholic and yoga has lead to a new transformation.       "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." -Galatians 2:20

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we examine the prayers of the New Mass—what was removed, what was changed, and what that reveals about the underlying theology which we discussed in the last two episodes. While the New Mass is valid, Fr. Paul Robinson explains why it is still spiritually dangerous. We look at how nearly all the traditional prayers were edited or eliminated and how this shift reflects a new view of sin, salvation, and man's relationship with God. From loss of sacrificial language to silence on heresy and the souls in purgatory, this episode lays bare the core concerns.

Patrick guides a caller through a wrenching family conflict sparked by the caller’s faith and his sister’s same-sex wedding, offering both scriptural counsel and blunt honesty about painful divisions. He also draws listeners into a tough examination of Judas Iscariot’s fate, blending biblical analysis, papal teaching, and gritty discussion about grace, repentance, and God’s justice. Listeners find practical wisdom scattered throughout, whether it's about confronting tensions in church pews or finding hope within support groups for Catholics facing similar struggles. Dave - My sister came out as gay and I don't know how to break it to my parents that I cannot stand by this. How can I deal with this? (01:29) *Was Judas saved? Patrick shares Pope Leo’s message from his General Audience. (16:04) Kathy - Is it true that St. Theresa of Avila used to pray for Judas? (31:07) Rosie - I am confused about God being merciful. Does God forgive us one last time? How do we know Judas did not get that opportunity? (32:26) Dan (email) – I’m seeing more hats inside Church. Is there anything I can do about it? (39:03) Theresa - It would be great if you mentioned Courage and Encourage International. Dave needs a support system. I go to these meetings as a parent. (43:27) Stuart - How do we attain salvation in the Passion without certain actors like Judas and St. Peter committing certain sins? (45:59)

Drawing on insights from Cardinal Burke, Father Charles Murr, and testimonies from those close to Cardinal Ratzinger, John-Henry Westen and Dr. Maike Hickson revisit the long-disputed Third Secret of Fatima, questioning whether the Vatican's 2000 disclosure revealed the full message. Dr. Hickson links the Fatima message to Vatican II, post-conciliar turmoil, and today's decline in Eucharistic belief, stressing that Heaven's requests, the Five First Saturdays devotion, and the precise consecration of Russia, remain incomplete. Far from a past relic, Fatima stands as a living prophetic call, urging Catholics to respond before the warnings are fully realized.Sign up for the 1st Saturday Devotion Series: https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/100-years-ago-our-lady-made-this-request-time-to-start-now/U.S. residents!

Send us a text by clicking this link!Dr. Taylor Marshall joins Avoiding Babylon and first explores Pope Leo XIV's first months leading the Catholic Church and what this new papacy means for traditional Catholics worldwide. After more than a decade of restrictions under Pope Francis, Marshall advocates patience and prayer as Leo navigates Vatican politics while showing promising signs of respect for tradition.The conversation delves into Marshall's thoughtful distinction between modern Christian nationalism and authentic Catholic patriotism. His forthcoming book "Christian Patriot: 12 Ways to Create One Nation Under God" offers a roadmap for cultural renewal grounded in natural law, Church teaching, and the social kingship of Christ. Unlike many Protestant approaches to Christian politics, Marshall draws from the rich tradition of Catholic social thought dating back to St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas.Demographics emerge as a powerful undercurrent in the discussion, with traditional Catholic communities growing through significantly higher birth rates while progressive parishes struggle to maintain attendance. Marshall projects that this "demographics is destiny" reality will inevitably reshape the Church regardless of current policies or restrictions. The hosts explore how America's unique Catholic landscape differs from the more secularized European context, creating both challenges and opportunities.The episode takes a fascinating turn as Marshall shares Catholic perspectives on apocalyptic prophecy that contrast sharply with popular dispensationalist interpretations, particularly regarding Israel and end-times events. Throughout, Marshall maintains that regardless of whether we face minor tribulations or major apocalyptic events, Catholics are called to consistent faithfulness—loving enemies while building cultures that reflect Christ's teachings.Pre-order Marshall's book at ChristianPatriotBook.com and discover a compelling vision for cultural renewal rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Marc Barnes is one of the coolest, smartest, most impressive guys we know. As one of the founders of both New Polity and the Harmonium Project, a professor at St. Joseph the Worker College, and the owner of a local farm to shelves grocery store, The Grocery Box, he has been putting Catholic Social Teaching into action in the streets of Steubenville for over a decade now. So, we thought we would pick his brain about where Catholics often go wrong in their pursuit of the goals of Catholic social teaching and why simply loving the place where you live and serving it well is one of the best things you can do to bring about a more just society.

What is Marian devotion? Do Catholics pray to Mary? This week we are re-airing an episode to celebrate the Assumption of Mary, and the month of August, traditionally dedicated to her Immaculate Heart.https://archive.org/download/LetsTalkCatholic/LTC-042RR-Devotion%20to%20Mary.mp3

In our reading of Proverbs 14, Fr. Mike reinforces that freedom is not the same thing as license, true freedom is the power to do what we ought. Fr. Mike also reflects on Jeremiah's repudiation of Israel's cult worship and how its distorted sexuality had serious consequences. Today's readings are Jeremiah 3, Ezekiel 29-30, and Proverbs 14:13-16.

Sharing the gospel with Catholics is an act of love because God loves them deeply. In this episode, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar delve into the implications of Catholic teachings on the role of the Pope and its significance for the Gospel. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, but Scripture makes it clear: Christ alone is the head of the Church, which consists of true believers. While the Catholic Church has played a significant role in preserving God's word and has done much good worth recognizing, there are serious concerns regarding salvation.The Catholic Church has always taught faith, but not salvation by grace alone. The idea that grace follows all you can do stands in direct tension with the biblical message of imputed righteousness. Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, not earned through merit. The guys make it clear they are not claiming there are no saved Catholics, but that salvation would be despite official Church teaching, not because of it. Oscar challenges the belief that Peter was the first pope, arguing that the early church resembled a presbytery, where multiple bishops served collectively. Historical evidence shows that the title and authority of the pope developed over time. Even papal infallibility was not formally declared until the 1800s and remains a topic of controversy among Catholics.A central concern is the tendency to elevate tradition above scripture. The guys urge believers to let the Bible speak clearly. William Tindale gave his life to make scripture accessible, and it remains the most effective tool in gospel conversations. Matthew 16 refers to the truth that Jesus is the Christ as the rock, not Peter himself. Peter was important, but not preeminent. He referred to all believers as a royal priesthood. Reassigning that identity to a single man misrepresents the biblical narrative.The guys also discuss doctrines that have been added over time, such as purgatory, the veneration of saints, and praying to the dead. These practices shift attention away from Christ. There is one mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus. Ray shares that many Catholics know Jesus died for their sins but cannot explain what that means for their salvation. He has found that they are often open and willing to engage in a deep way. Rather than argue, he focuses on walking them through the gospel and lets God work. Scripture remains the authority. The church is built on Christ, not Peter. Grace is God's unmerited favor to the undeserving. Compassion must not lead to compromise. The gospel is simple, powerful, and straightforward. Christ alone is the head of the Church.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 18:21–19:1 - Peter approached Jesus and asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus answered, "I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.' Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, 'Pay back what you owe.' Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.' But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?' Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will My heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart." When Jesus finished these words, He left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan. Memorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Priest and Martyr Saint Maximilian, pray for us!

In modern parlance, we use the term "chaos" to refer to disorder. Indeed, this is how the ancient Greeks conceived of the universe before the formation of the cosmos, which brought forth order and objective beauty. From this order and beauty that we experience in the world, our minds are elevated quickly to Almighty God, from Whom the goodness of creation flows. We, too, can reflect this order and thereby draw closer to God through the virtue of modesty, which includes regulating our inner tendencies and subduing the chaos in our own souls.

Patrick fields concerns about communion, tackles biblical support for praying to saints, and answers honest doubts about faith and science, all while peppering the hour with candid exchanges that bounce from lighthearted to deeply pastoral without missing a beat. Even tricky issues like the validity of sacraments when a priest is in mortal sin or the obstacles of getting to confession spark clear, immediate answers that keep the conversation unpredictable and real. Robert (email) – Patrick shouldn’t share his opinions, and he was wrong when he told a man in prison that he shouldn’t take communion if he hasn’t had the opportunity of going to confession (02:28) Juan - My old friend is a pastor in a Presbyterian Church and asks why do Catholics pray to the saints?

Father Jack Bentz, SJ, is a Jesuit priest who works in campus ministry at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. He also has a new podcast called “Catholics in Ordinary Time,” which is just an awesome title. The podcast was inspired in large part by his work during the Synod on Synodality at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Hollywood, where he served before moving to Spokane. The parish conducted a whole bunch of listening sessions, just as thousands of parishes around the country did, and Fr. Jack liked that approach. So his new podcast is centered on conversations with all different sorts of Catholics, with him serving as the interviewer and listener as his guests share their stories of faith. Host Mike Jordan Laskey really likes the idea behind his show, because while there are so many different Catholic podcasts out there hosted by members of the clergy, podcasting priests are usually in the position of explainer, apologist or teacher. There's certainly a place for those types of shows, but in this flipped format, Fr. Jack models how a synodal church is a listening church. Fr. Jack and Miked talked about the things Fr. Jack has learned about today's young adults through his work at Gonzaga and at Blessed Sacrament, not to mention his decades of ministry in settings like theatre and other university campus ministry locations. Fr. Jack also shared a bit about his own vocation story, and how a kid growing up on a cattle ranch in rural Oregon came to be a Jesuit. You can find Catholics in Ordinary Time wherever you get podcasts. Catholics in Ordinary Time podcast: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-catholics-in-ordinary-time-279045450/ Fr.

The story of Holy Scripture is the story of how Our Lord wants to save our souls and direct our lives according to His plan. To facilitate the transmission of Scripture's message, and indeed the Catholic Faith as a whole, God selects certain persons through history to serve as priests and religious in the Church. These designated persons are the ones who keep the Church alive and growing through their dedication, prayer, and sacrifice.

Fr. Mike introduces us to the prophet Jeremiah, who is also known as the Prophet of Doom and the Weeping Prophet. He explains what makes Jeremiah different than the other prophets, and encourages us to cling closely to him as we hear about his difficult call. Today's readings are Jeremiah 1, Ezekiel 27, and Proverbs 14:5-8. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

This episode addresses the crucial question: Was Peter truly the first pope? The conversation centers on how Catholic claims about papal authority compare to both scripture and early church history. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar walk through the biblical foundation for church leadership, pointing out that the early church operated more like a group of regional bishops working together, rather than under a single central figure. They explain how, over time, as Rome gained political and religious influence, the bishop of Rome came to be seen as preeminent—a development not rooted in scripture but in historical circumstance. The guys also address related doctrines, such as papal infallibility, which was not formally defined until the 1800s and remains debated even among Catholics. Test all traditions against scripture, which consistently affirms that Christ, not Peter or any other man, is the true and only head of the Church.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Did you know that even secular individuals hold religious-like beliefs? Dr. Sri examines the secular world's values, promises of salvation, and utopian ideals, and contrasts these with the core tenets of the Gospel. He revisits the five key aspects of the Kerygma—relationship, rebellion, reconciliation, recreation, and response—and explains how the secular vision borrows from and distorts these principles. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: Do you anticipate the Traditional Latin Mass will grow and flourish in a very big way the next 10-20 years? I was wondering what the proper etiquette is whenever a priest is entering/exiting the church for mass? My parish largely bows to the priest but I've heard that that is not appropriate. Should Catholic men listen to Andrew Tate? How to properly forgive and forget I've heard a traditional priest once say that if the Godfather isn't holding the baby while the baby is being baptized, he is not a valid Godfather. Is this true? Father's stance on the Neocatechumenal Way What does the church teach about self defense such as karate? Are Catholics allowed to use self defense? Are any of them based in other religions that we should avoid? Can saints and angels hear our mental prayers? Converting for the sake of marriage - is it a "true" conversion? When I went to the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Scapular Mass, I forgot to bring my Scapular. Do I need to get that blessed or, rather, is it the person who is blessed? How do we help Jerusalem and the Christians? During the solemn high mass, the sub deacon wears a certain type of veil and he carries the patent during the offertory. What's the significance? How many of the "extra" biblical miracles are Catholics obliged to believe? At a sung mass, why are the laity instructed to sit during the creed? I'm new to the Latin Mass but interested in attending. Is it okay if I just follow along silently, or am I expected to respond in Latin?
