Today is day 326 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 326. Is divorce ever permitted? The New Testament permits divorce in some cases; however, out of love for his people, God hates divorce because it severs what he has joined, causes immeasurable pain, and destroys family life. (Matthew 5:31–32; 19:7–9; 1 Corinthians 7:10–16) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 42.For the Human Family found on page 659 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

As Fr. Mike suggests, the battle for purity is never more difficult than in our own day. With God's grace, we can prevail and find freedom from our temptations. Fr. Mike explains that we win this battle through chastity, purity of intention, purity of vision, and prayerful reliance on the Lord. He tells us how to pray for a pure gaze that allows us to see our brothers and sisters as God sees them. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2520-2533.

Author Xavier Ayral argues that the Catholic Church is now living through a time foreseen by mystics, saints, and Marian apparitions, an era of confusion, apostasy, and deception. Citing La Salette, Fatima, Marie-Julie Jahenny, and more, he claims these prophecies foretold two anti-popes and a temporary takeover of the Church by false shepherds. Ayral explains how long-hidden Vatican documents and seer testimonies match today's liturgical chaos and doctrinal ambiguity. He connects the present crisis to Catechism 675–677, describing it as the Church's “final trial” before a divine restoration.U.S. residents!

What does covetousness mean? Today, we launch into the ninth commandment, which deals with carnal concupiscence. This commandment addresses the tension between the “flesh” and the “spirit.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that purity of heart and temperance are crucial to overcoming lust of the flesh. The more we obey God, the more our hearts see others as God sees them. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2514-2519. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Patrick welcomes candid questions and fires back with sharp, scripture-steeped answers, smoothing out confusion around why Catholics call priests “Father” and why the Church doesn’t actually forbid foods or marriage. He fields a rare hypothetical question about what would happen if the Pope broke the seal of confession, and spells out the boundaries of canon law while tossing in personal stories and plenty of warmth. Parents get bracing advice about protecting kids’ faith, resource tips, and a reminder that TikTok should never edge out Catholic truth. John - I am teaching a Catechism class to kids. A kid asked me what would happen if the Pope broke the seal of Confession? (00:33) Manny - In Matthew 23, it says to call no man “Father”. Why do we call our Catholic priests Father if the Bible tells us not to? Also, my son is wondering how we can defend 1 Timothy 4 as Catholics? (07:11) Christie - My 12-year-old wants to know if it’s okay for him to go to a Protestant Church with his older adult brother? (24:05) Carmen (email) - I was not aware that the Baptist were so anti Catholic. (37:00) Reza - I was a Muslim and married my wife who was a Catholic. I converted 15 years ago. My daughter asked me to be the godfather. We went to their Parish. Parish told me that I could not be her godfather because I was not married in the Church. Can you help me? (38:49) Bill - My friend was upset about the Synod on Synodality. Will this put ultimate authority in the hands of the laity? (46:39)

Today is day 324 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 324. Why does God forbid adultery? Adultery is a sin against one's spouse or spouse-to-be; against the sexual partners with whom it is committed; against their children, family, and friends; against human society by undermining the institution of marriage; and against God, in whose Name marriage vows are made. (2 Samuel 11:2–12:14; Proverbs 5; Malachi 2:13–16) We will conclude today by praying Proper 6 found on page 616 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today's Mass Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112025.cfmPilgrimage Promo: https://youtu.be/LSw5E8f5jNYRegister for the Pilgrimage Here: https://marian.org/events/pilgrimage-medjugorjeAs we approach the end of the liturgical year, Fr. Jason Lewis reflects on Jesus' anguished words to Jerusalem — the city that should have recognized “what makes for peace” (Lk 19:42). Like Eden and the Temple, Jerusalem was meant to be the spiritual center of the cosmos, yet its people often turned from the very Source of life. Jesus laments a blindness of heart that leads to ruin, reminding us that true peace is found only when we return to God with humility and trust. As the Catechism teaches, “Peace is the tranquility of order” rooted in God Himself (CCC 2304).Fr. Jason shows how Our Lady, the Queen of Peace, leads us directly to her Son, the Prince of Peace. Her message echoes the words Jesus gave to St. Faustina: “Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy” (Diary, 300). Medjugorje, a place of deep conversion for many, calls us to pray from the heart, read Scripture, adore Christ in the Eucharist, fast, and make frequent confession — the very sacramental life through which Divine Mercy heals and restores us. Access to grace in the Eucharist and Confession reveals why the Church calls the Sacraments “powers that come forth from the Body of Christ” (CCC 1116).The world promises peace through wealth, comfort, or distraction, yet these leave us empty. Only Jesus offers a peace that endures (cf. Jn 14:27). Our Lady invites us to trust, surrender, and choose the narrow path that leads to life.

Today is day 323 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 322. What is marriage? God ordained marriage for the procreation of children to be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; for a remedy against sin and to avoid sexual immorality; for mutual friendship, help, and comfort, both in prosperity and in adversity; and for the benefit of family, church, and society. (Genesis 1:28; 2:18; Deuteronomy 6:4–9; 24:5; Psalm 127:3–5; Proverbs 31:10–12; 1 Corinthians 7:2–5; “Holy Matrimony,” Book of Common Prayer 2019) We will conclude today by praying a Prayer Adapted from Holy Matrimony found on page 201 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Most Catholic men have never been told the truth about what happens at baptism. Not the watered-down version. The real thing. Baptism is a confrontation with the kingdom of darkness. It is the moment a soul is ripped from Satan's grip and claimed for Jesus Christ. And in this episode, we open the doors to the old Roman Rite of Baptism, a rite forged in the heart of the Church, saturated with exorcisms, sacred signs, and the unmistakable authority of Christ.Father Dom walks step-by-step through the ancient rite that formed countless saints. A rite Satan despises. A rite packed with commands, renunciations, blessings, confrontations, and symbols that speak clearly: this child no longer belongs to the enemy.We explore the prayers the demons fear. The salt of wisdom. The triple breath of God's own ruach. The spittle of Christ echoing Mark 7. The repeated exorcisms. The renunciation of Satan. The chrism that marks a man forever. The white garment of purity. The candle of vigilance. And the final declaration of peace spoken over a soul newly liberated.This episode challenges every man to stop treating baptism like a family photo-op. Baptism is a battlefield. A transfer of allegiance. A declaration of war against hell.Whether you've been baptized for decades or you've never taken the time to understand what happened to your soul, you need this episode. Because if you don't understand the power of baptism, you will never understand your identity as a Catholic man or the spiritual war you were born into.And if you are not yet baptized, this is your call. Do not wait. Eternity is at stake.Challenge to the Men: Go to Scripture today. Find every passage on baptism. Read them slowly. Pray with them. Then open the Catechism and read the section on baptism. If you are not baptized, or your children are not baptized, act now. Do not delay. This is war.Three Powerful Quotes from the Transcript“Without the Church, I'm a weakling compared to Satan. Without the Church, I'm nothing.”“Baptism is the most ultimate exorcism. It tears a soul out of Satan's kingdom forever.”“Whoever God they belong to, that's my God.”Key Takeaway for MenUnderstand your baptism. Live from it. Because baptism wasn't a cute ceremony. It was your enlistment into Christ's army. Start living like a man who has already declared war on hell.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Today is day 322 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 322. What is marriage? Marriage is the exclusive, lifelong, covenantal union of love between one man and one woman, and a reflection of the faithful love that unites God and his people. Marriage is therefore holy and should “be held in honor among all.” (Hebrews 13:4; see also Genesis 2:18–24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:21–33; see questions 146–48) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 69.For a Marriage or Anniversary found on page 667 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

In today's homily, Fr. Matt offers a sobering reminder: a nation cannot survive spiritually if its people abandon truth. As Catholics, we are called not only to believe the faith, but to study it, to guard it, and to allow it to shape our daily lives. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of Truth” (John 14:17), and when we invite Him into our hearts, He strengthens us to love what is good, reject what is false, and persevere through every trial. This is why the Catechism says that life in Christ transforms the whole of our existence (CCC 1691).Fr. Matt reminds us that a country's spiritual health depends on the conversion of its people. We must let the Holy Spirit place divine truth on our hearts—not as an idea, but as a lived reality. St. Paul wrote, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom 12:2). A renewed mind becomes a renewed family, a renewed Church, and a renewed nation.We are called to pray deeply for our country, not in despair, but with hope rooted in Divine Mercy. In moments of darkness, the Lord asks us to return to His Heart, where truth and mercy are never separated.

Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 27—especially explaining how sin is horrible because it is against God. Q27. Did Adam keep the covenant of works? No; he sinned against God. The lesson centers on the profound moral and theological significance of Adam's failure to uphold the covenant of works, emphasizing that his sin was not merely a violation of a divine rule but a personal offense against God Himself—both as Creator and covenant Lord. It underscores the gravity of sin by highlighting God's holiness, sovereignty, and the intimate relationship established in the garden, where Adam was called to live in obedience to God's moral and ceremonial commands. The failure to obey, particularly in the act of eating from the forbidden tree, reveals the depth of human rebellion against a holy and personal God, a pattern that resonates as the nature of all human sin. The reflection serves as a sobering reminder that all believers, having been brought into covenant relationship with God through His grace, are called to recognize the seriousness of sin against a holy and loving God. Ultimately, the lesson calls for humility, self-examination, and a deeper appreciation of God's righteousness and the cost of disobedience.

We begin our dive into the eighth commandment: “You shall not bear false witness.” The Catechism defines truth, identifies the importance of truth, and reflects on martyrdom. Fr. Mike unpacks all of this information and reminds us that our duty as Christians is to live in the truth and bear witness to the truth in what we say and how we act. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2464-2474.

Today is day 320 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 320. What does it mean for you to be chaste? Whether I am married or single, it means I will love and honor others as image bearers of God, not as objects of lust and sexual gratification, and I will refrain from all sexual acts outside of marriage. (Genesis 39:6b–12; Proverbs 6:25–28; Matthew 5:29–30; Philippians 4:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–7) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for the Sixth Sunday of Epiphany found on page 603 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

We have reached the In Brief section, or nugget day, on the seventh commandment. Father Mike reiterates that the right to private property comes from our dignity as humans, and the Church has a duty to weigh in on economic or social matters where that dignity is threatened. He challenges us to ask ourselves, do we see Jesus in “the distressing disguise of the poor” and just walk by him, or do we respond to him? Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2450-2463.

The Holy Spirit daily administers forgiveness and will continue to do so until the end. He increases holiness within the Christian Church that is not finished until Christ returns. There will be a time when forgiveness will no longer be needed. Until then, we see what we are to do as the baptized children of the Triune God who paid our ransom while still working on us. God continues to give Himself to us completely that we might live to His glory and rest in His grace! Rev. Nathan Scheck, Associate Pastor of St. John Lutheran, Seward, NE, joins Rev.

Adultery begins with a lustful heart, but the Lord calls us to be chaste. (Matthew 5:27–28) We will conclude today by praying Proper 1 found on page 615 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings, who is a devoted Catholic, respectfully critiques the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop's November 12, 2025, pastoral video on immigration. Doug praises the Church's 2,000-year legacy and defense of the unborn, and he argues Trump's deportation policies uphold Catholic teachings on rule of law, dignity for all, and common good. Using Scripture and Catechism, he urges balancing mercy with justice amid massive illegal entries. Pro-Catholic, pro-Trump call for prayer and dialogue.---------------Subscribe to Doug's YouTube Channel: @TheRightSideDougBillingsAnd prayerfully consider setting up a monthly recurring donation to his show at www.DougBillings.usSupport the show

The Book of Wisdom reminds us that creation itself reveals the divine Artist, yet humanity so often stops at the art and forgets the Artist. St. Paul echoes this in Romans 1:20, teaching that God's truth is visible through nature, leaving us “without excuse.” Natural law is not an invention of the Church but a reflection of the Creator's design — especially in matters of human love, complementarity, and moral responsibility.Fr. Daniel speaks with pastoral clarity about the dangers of confusing compassion with affirmation of sin. Scripture, natural law, and the Catechism all reveal that true love always leads toward conversion, never toward conformity with what wounds the human soul. The sacraments themselves presuppose repentance — “Repent!” was the first word of John the Baptist's call (Mt 3:2). Christ's mercy heals, but it never excuses. He tells every soul: “Go and sin no more” (Jn 8:11).The priesthood exists to guard the flock, not to bless the wounds the Gospel came to heal. When clergy publicly celebrate lifestyles contrary to the teachings of Christ, they risk leading souls away from salvation rather than toward it. A shepherd who refuses to warn of the wolf is not merciful — he is negligent. A spiritual doctor who hides the truth of the disease is not kind — he is cruel.The Church does not reject persons; she rejects the lie that sin can coexist with holiness. Every person — regardless of attraction or struggle — is infinitely loved by God and called to purity, which is the expression of authentic love. Christ does not say “Be yourself,” but “Be made new” (2 Cor 5:17). He does not say “Follow your desires,” but “Follow Me.”Pray today for priests: that they may preach with apostolic boldness, charity rooted in truth, and fidelity to Christ's teachings. And pray for all who struggle with sexual sin, that they may encounter not false affirmation but true liberation in Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to heal, transform, and set every soul free. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, Chris explores how true capitalism aligns with moral order, human dignity, and the common good. Drawing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, he shows how work is more than a paycheck—it's a duty, a path to personal growth, and even a means of sanctification. From ethical economic activity to self-policing communities, learn how genuine capitalism allows people to succeed, fail, create, and contribute while respecting others. A refreshing perspective for anyone frustrated by today's distorted view of the free market.

Internationally, there is often a large gap in the resources between countries. The Catechism explains the justice and solidarity that should exist among all nations, rich and poor. Rich nations have a duty of solidarity, charity, and justice to support nations who are unable to fully ensure their own development. Fr. Mike emphasizes that direct aid is not all the Church advocates for, but that we also have a duty to help reform these nations. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2437-2442.

Today is day 317 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 317. What is the seventh commandment? The seventh commandment is “You shall not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18; see also Proverbs 6:32; Hebrews 13:4) We will conclude today by praying the Decalogue found on page 100 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Work is both a gift and a duty. Today, we explore how labor can impact man's dignity and unite us to Jesus, the carpenter. Fr. Mike emphasizes that work should not be ordered towards economic gain, but rather, it should be ordered toward man's dignity and the human community.

This week, Jake and Bob explore how inner healing is rooted within the tradition of the Catholic Church. Drawing from the Catechism, they discuss the three expressions of prayer—vocal, meditative, and contemplative—and how each form is incorporated within the inner healing process. Far from being a psychological exercise, inner healing comes from a deeply relational encounter with Jesus and restores the whole person so we might live in deeper communion with Him.   Key Points: Inner healing prayer is deeply rooted in the Church's tradition The Catechism identifies three key expressions of prayer: vocal, meditation, and contemplative. These are all at the heart of the inner healing process Healing comes from an encounter with Jesus and is not a result of a mere completion of steps  When we pray, we need to engage our hearts instead of simply repeating words God is always present when we pray, even when we cannot hear His voice Inner healing often requires us to patiently cooperate with God's timing. He knows more about the mysteries and vulnerabilities of our hearts than we do   Catechism Paragraphs Mentioned in the Episode: Vocal Prayer: CCC 2700 Meditation: CCC 2705 - 2706, 2708,  Contemplative Prayer: CCC 2709 - 2710, 2716    Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine both our respect for the integrity of creation as well as the Church's broader social doctrine. Fr. Mike emphasizes that we owe animals kindness because they have been entrusted to our stewardship, but also that we must have a balanced relationship with them. He then goes on to examine the Church's Social Doctrine in our postmodern world, focusing on capitalism, socialism, and communism. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2415-2425.

What does it mean to have respect for the goods of others? Fr. Mike unpacks the Catechism's answer to this question and what it teaches about the seventh commandment in regards to respect for persons and their goods. We learn that it comes down to the dignity of persons and the virtues of temperance, justice, and solidarity. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2407-2414.

Beginning our look at the seventh commandment, the Catechism focuses on the universal destination of goods and the private ownership of goods. Fr. Mike helps us understand that at first glance, these concepts may seem contradictory, but upon closer inspection, they are paradoxical. Each concept is necessary, and they must be held “in tension”. We have the right to private property, and at the same time, we should have the mindset that we are stewards of our earthly possessions and talents with the intention of using them to benefit others.

The Catechism continues on with other offenses against the dignity of marriage and concludes our look at the sixth commandment. Polygamy, incest, sexual abuse, and free union are reviewed in detail. Fr. Mike highlights that these sins are grave, but God gives hope to all of us experiencing wounds or guilt. We have the opportunity to change in order to live in accordance with the Gospel.

The Catechism goes into detail about offenses against the dignity of marriage. The two topics we look at are adultery and divorce. These sins against marriage are not isolated between the spouses, but affect others including family, children, and society. With this, Fr. Mike reminds us that we live in a broken world, but God is among us, and he is a merciful Father with the ability to redeem. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2380-2386.

Children are a gift from God. Children have integrity and rights. With these key principles in mind, Fr. Mike reviews the Catechism's teachings about marriage, family, child bearing, sterility, and adoption. Because “a child is not something owed to one but is a gift”, we must protect the dignity of the child at the forefront of all decisions. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2373-2379.
