Live from Reno in April 2014, three first-time RISK! storytellers turn a single night into a run of proposition, prophecy, and psychedelic reckoning. Virginia Munsterman is a 20-year-old college student scraping by as a barista when a new job as a chiropractor's assistant lands her at a business conference in Clearwater, Florida. The company's multimillionaire CEO zeroes in on her immediately, and over two days his attention escalates from flattery and magic tricks to a yacht tour and a dinner where he asks her to give him the next 15 to 20 years of her life in exchange for his fortune. Jessica Levity is driving cross-country to Reno with her brother when a detour to the clearest lake in Kansas turns into a three-day stay with a self-proclaimed shaman named Lone Wolf. He shows up at their campsite with a bottle of ketchup Jessica had forgotten to buy, claiming the Great Spirit told him to bring it, and offers to reveal the hidden history of the Earth. His teachings turn out to include an antisemitic alien-hybrid origin theory for Jewish people, and Jessica and Teddy have to figure out how much of any of it to believe. Steve Emmerich grows up gay and Catholic in Cincinnati, suppressing an identity that doesn't fit the blueprint he was given. At a massive Phish festival in Maine, high on several substances at once, he breaks down crying when a vision presents him with two doors and realizes he doesn't recognize himself in either one.

I will grant peace to their families. 2. They will be enlightened about the Divine Mysteries. 3. I will console them in their pains, and I will accompany them in their work. 4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Jamie Smith is a Reformed philosopher — one of the first to put a Catholic mystic in the title of a book and then proceed to argue that it was the contemplative tradition that brought him back to a flourishing form of faith on the far side of a series of nerdy dead ends. Make Your Home in the Luminous Dark is his most personal and, I would argue, most beautiful book. It began the day, more than a decade ago, when Jamie was in the depths of a severe depression his analytical philosophical training could not think its way out of, and his wife came home from a garage sale with a battered used copy of The Dark Night of the Soul and told him he should read it. What that began — St. John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart, Merton — is what this book bears witness to. It is a book about the mystics saving Jamie's faith. It is also a Reformed philosopher's argument that the cultural liturgies project he is best known for needs a prior undoing before its formative work can do anything at all. As I told Jamie in the hour, this is a book that made me feel uncomfortable about how much I enjoyed it. We covered the apophatic/cataphatic distinction with the twist Jamie puts on it, the way certainty is still Cartesian even when it calls itself pious, the trad-wife/manosphere as snorting modernity while claiming to have escaped it, Charles Taylor's Cosmic Connections as the real sequel to A Secular Age, and what to do when Distraction Inc. has fully occupied the inner room. The platform is the plantation. Come sit with this one and check out the book. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. James K.A. Smith is Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he holds the Gary and Henrietta Byker Chair in Applied Reformed Theology and Worldview. He earned his PhD at Villanova University under John D. Caputo. He served as editor of Comment magazine (2013–2018) and as editor-in-chief of Imagejournal (2019–2024). His new book is Make Your Home in the Luminous Dark. His previous books include the Cultural Liturgies trilogy — Desiring the Kingdom, Imagining the Kingdom, and Awaiting the King — as well as You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit, How (Not) to Be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor, On the Road with Saint Augustine, How to Inhabit Time, and his early philosophical work Speech and Theology. He writes at Quid Amo on Substack. ⁠JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep⁠⁠ Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together. It's free to join, every session is recorded, and it kicks off Thursday, August 27.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, James Lindsay joins Eric to discuss John Adams's forgotten 1765 essay A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law and why its warnings about tyranny remain relevant today. They examine post-liberalism, Catholic integralism, Christian nationalism, the “woke right,” Patrick Deneen's proposed regime change, and whether political movements on the right are abandoning the constitutional principles of liberty, responsibility, religious freedom, and self-government.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

Jason Arday, who rocketed to academic stardom as the youngest black professor at Cambridge, now faces claims that his PhD thesis contains plagiarism. That's not all: huge portions of his story seem likely to be fabricated, from a supposed brain surgery days before his defense, to an appearace on the documentary Seven Up. But is Arday really the problem? It seems the institutional decay goes much deeper. This week, hosts Spencer and Mike discuss the necessity of a reckoning in the academies.

Andy Burnham is the first Prime Minister on How to Fail. Past leaders have run scared of doing a podcast with ‘fail' in the title - but not this one. As he says in this conversation: ‘if you've not succeeded, you have to understand why it happened, and what you're going to do about it.' Wise words from a global leader. Burnham is now our 7th Prime Minister in 10 years, having won a decisive by-election in Makerfield and having received nominations from 94% of Labour MPs in an unopposed leadership contest. In this exclusive episode, recorded at No. 10 North, Andy talks about growing up, how his Catholic faith has shaped his outlook (and whether or not he snuck some communion wine as an altar boy). Plus: imposter syndrome, what he learned from his past failed leadership bids, friendships within politics, how his wife responded to his desire to run for PM, the meaning of ‘home' and whether or not his dad, who suffers from Alzheimer's, knows his son has become Prime Minister. A must-listen, even if we do say so ourselves.

Dave's summer vacation got cut from three months down to two, and Adam has a theory. New baby, plus he hasn't been working near as hard. Dave tried to get a second opinion from Anthony Fauci, who invoked the Fifth on advice of counsel, so we're left with the ruling as it stands. Either way, the new van is getting loaded and the Niles family is headed to a cabin in Michigan for two weeks. Fifties at night, fires in the morning and the evening, which means chopping enough firewood to replace what you burn. Golf, swimming, and a little aluminum fishing boat that Davey gets to ride in. Joseph and Joshua stay on shore. Joseph has a big knot on his head at the moment anyway.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) Sunday morning in a Catholic family is not easy like Sunday morning. It's kids in the van, beat Father down the aisle, get to the pew. The Amen app is how the guys prepare their kids to receive the Gospel before Mass even starts, plus free access to Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary. Since 2021 it's hit 950,000 downloads. Let's get them to a million. No paywall, no subscription, no upfront cost. Download the Amen app right now.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, every single person pointed them to Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch. Wherever in the world you want to go, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready.On the drive back from Lady Pamela's family reunion in Arkansas, Dave counted three mopeds inside 45 minutes, which would be unremarkable in Portland and is deeply strange here. A moped gang remains unconfirmed but would be extremely cool. His reading time is going to Plato's Republic with the group at Deacon Harrison's house, book 10 now, while Adam has missed it all year and is on record that he'll haunt them if they kick him out.Dave also saw the new Odyssey movie, alongside Dr. Frank Grabowski, Juan in a dog onesie as Argos, and Deacon Harrison Garlick, who announced in the group text beforehand: "I have filled my heart with hate." Verdict, 7.5 for entertainment. They shouldn't have tried to cram the whole epic into one film, they changed the ending, which you can't do, and they folded the lotus eaters into Calypso's island. That last one guts the most important choice in the story. Odysseus rejects immortality for his family. That's the whole thing.The pour is Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, the flagship, from a bottle the distiller sent the guys when the show started and that has sat on the shelf about ten years since. The label reads: Warning, contains high levels of manliness. No age statement, and no, ten years in your house doesn't count. Whiskey only ages in the barrel. Small batch, four barleys, virgin charred American white oak. Not bourbon, not 51% corn. Made in the style of Scotch, right here in America.Then the topic: the five precepts of the Church, Catechism 2041, page 548 if you've got the classic 90s edition. This is the Church flexing authority, which she rarely does. Most of what she does is defensive. Papal infallibility is a negative power, not a positive one. The precepts are different. They bind, and they're the floor, not the ceiling.Attend Mass on Sundays and holy days, and rest from servile labor. Everybody knows the first half. The second half is the one that stings, because going out to eat after Mass means you're compelling somebody else to work. Nurses show up, gas stations stay open, and nobody needs to be demolished by guilt over a trip to the store. Don't be a Pharisee about it. Do take it seriously.Confess your sins at least once a year, meaning your mortal sins. Go monthly anyway, and do a daily examination of conscience, because you can't remember what you ate two days ago, much less where you lost your temper 28 days ago. Dave prays to Our Lady on the way in: help me make this confession as if it were my last. Adam leaves his phone outside, because it's listening, and that's not a conspiracy. And if you deliberately hold a mortal sin back, the confession is invalid and you've just added to the pile. Compound interest is powerful. Compound sin is worse.Receive the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. Observe the days of fasting and abstinence, which used to be far heavier, and nothing is stopping you from going heavier now. Adam has never once enjoyed fasting. Dave eats nothing until dinner and swears he thinks more clearly for it. Both of them fast every Wednesday with a group of men and offer it up for their wives and their families. That's the domestic priesthood doing what it's for.And help provide for the needs of the Church. Notice it doesn't say if you can afford it. Money is the easy part. Time is the sacrifice, especially in the seasons of fatherhood when there isn't any. Fr. Brian O'Brien's answer when somebody says the church really ought to do this: "I totally agree. You should do it." Your kids need to see you make some of your time sacred, not because nothing else was asking for it, but because you told everything else no.It all lands on stewardship. You don't owe God 10%. You owe Him 100%. The house, the money, the hours, and most of all the kids were never yours, and He's going to want all of it back. Adam is honest about where that gets hard: leaving work drained, walking in the door, wanting to shut down instead of engage. The fix isn't willpower. It's routine. A liturgy of the home. Because those minutes belong to Him too, and at judgment there won't be a single moment that goes unjudged.One housekeeping note. The Camp Out is always the last weekend of September, so put it on the calendar now. Sign-ups open at the end of August, late on purpose, because opening early means people sign up and don't come, and space is limited. Patrons still come free.

Patrick steers listeners through faith’s demands and the friction between personal ethics and Church teaching. He moves seamlessly from tangled sacramental questions to raw family conflicts over marriage rituals, the ache of humility under heavy crosses, and the often unseen responsibilities woven into parish and public life. Audio: Fauci on why he no longer practices his Catholic faith -https://x.com/BrokenTruthTV/status/2084386163553443867/video/1?s=46 (02:02) Audio: Ex-YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admits to deleting over 1 million COVID videos to silence anti vaxxers - https://x.com/ValerieAnne1970/status/2082828565364506914/video/1?s=46 (05:51) JTrina – Is it a sin to have sex for pleasure? (10:31) Joseph – What does 'ontologically Catholic' mean? (14:42) Joe - If all baptized Christians are baptized ontologically into Catholic faith, are they bound to Catholic absolution? (21:59) Angela - I have a sister raised Catholic, son living and having kids out of wedlock. They got married and my sister performed it. Did I sin by attending the wedding? (25:28) Nancy (email) – I trust that God knows my hearts confession even if I forget to say it out loud (36:54) Denise (email) - My life has become extremely difficult and sad and I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong. And humility comes to my mind. Is it I have done wrong? Camille (email) - Is there anything Catholic in The Smithsonian? Sherrie – During the consecration today, the priest said 'which will poured out for you and for all'. Did that invalidate the mass? (43:19)

Patrick explores honesty, faithfulness, and spiritual courage, offering practical advice on confession for those dealing with memory lapses or mental health struggles. He addresses listener questions about the risks of obsession with exorcisms, the boundaries of Catholic participation in weddings outside formal Church structure, the complex issue of the Society of St. Pius X, and even the nuanced meaning of having a guardian angel. Personal stories and Catholic wisdom swirl together, creating unexpected reflections on forgiveness, truth-telling, and the daily walk of faith. Email – I forget if I’ve confessed my sins and am unsure if I should confess them again or for the first time? (01:21) Parker (email) - My brother has been absorbed by spiritual warfare (07:21) Peter (email) - Angelology Question Yurry (email) - Issue with going to mass, lying to my mom, and keeping my faith (23:14) Shari – Why is SSPX excommunicated? (29:20) Patty (email) – My brother died from the Covid vaccine. (40:27) Gail – Can I attend this non-Catholic outdoor wedding? Also, is it okay to name your kid Saint? (45:59)

Patrick steers the conversation through messy election choices, wrestling with strategy and conscience as he weighs public duty against Catholic principles. Authenticity and skepticism battle it out in his thoughts about miracles, private revelations, and the swirl of holy objects, while the modern unease over artificial intelligence prompts him to separate science fiction worries from spiritual reality. In confession, honesty reigns as Patrick presses for spiritual clarity, threading everything together with a call to live faithfully, alert to everyday responsibilities instead of getting lost in apocalyptic rumors. Email – Is voting for a less "offensive" pro-abortion candidate in a primary election okay according to Church teaching? (01:36) Monica (email) - I was recently given a small sample of the Holy Dirt form the El Santuario de Chimayó (09:31) Heidi - I feel it is very important to vote for the least evil candidate to prevent communism from stepping over our doorstep. Too dangerous to sit out (17:18) Cindy (email) - As AI is advancing so rapidly and recently even proven by the breach out of the sandbox and jump into the internet on its own, it is hard not to see the Hal of Space Odyssey 2001. I fear for that we are on the verge of a catastrophe for humanity. Let us suppose that the genie is already out of the box and not in our control. My question is not if but when computers and robots become "sentient" will they have a soul? (19:31) Vinnie - Is it a problem when you have trouble believing that Adam and Eve lived to be 900 years old? (31:32) Anthony - Is it appropriate to repeat myself over and over again of things that happened in the past when in confession. (34:52) Richard - What do you think about the three days of darkness? (47:11)

Pope Leo XIV has been connected to communist affiliated organizations. Michael Hitchborn of the Lepanto Institute joins John-Henry Westen to examine the evidence and ask the question that faithful Catholics are demanding: how does this square with the Pope's duty to defend the faith?Hitchborn revisits his investigation into Pope Leo's past associations and discusses the Vatican's response to public controversies involving pro-abortion politicians. He argues that longstanding Church teaching on Canon 915, which bars those in grave sin from receiving Holy Communion, has been undermined in favor of a politically driven "seamless garment" approach to pro-life issues. The result is confusion: traditional Catholics face scrutiny, while pro-abortion politicians receive pastoral accommodation.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Something feels off for a lot of men right now: more content than ever, more arguments than ever, and somehow less real community. We get into that discomfort head-on with Jason Craig, co-founder of Fraternus and editor behind Sword and Spade, and we talk about the missing ingredient most Catholic masculinity conversations avoid: actual brotherhood, in real places, with real responsibility.We unpack what Fraternus is and why it starts with forming men before trying to “fix the youth.” Jason lays out a clear framework for men's formation, rites of passage, and why fatherhood requires other men around you. Then we go practical: living historically, building for future generations, and turning the household back into a productive unit instead of a consumption machine. Whether you have acreage, a small yard, or a tight urban lot, the question stays the same: what are you building with your family that your children can see, touch, and eventually carry forward?From there, we zoom out to American Catholic culture, localism, and the threats that quietly hollow out towns and parishes. We talk private equity, zoning battles, and why “defense” starts with cultivation, showing up, and refusing to abandon your ground. We also take listener questions on awkward converts who need formation, discernment about relocating for the Latin Mass, and how Catholic men should think about healing and hope in hard personal struggles.If this conversation challenges you, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review, then tell us: what is one concrete thing you can build locally in the next 30 days?Support the showGet 10% off an amazing Black Monk Rosary by going to https://www.blackmonkrosaries.com/?ref=AVOIDINGBABYLON and using code AVOIDINGBABYLON at checkout!Check out our sponsor, Nic Nac, at www.nicnac.com and use code "AB25%" for 25% off of your first order!Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rss

Debates over artificial intelligence tend to vacillate between the poles of blustery optimism and spiraling despair, with AI boosters making stratospheric claims for the technology just as critics vociferously denounce its capacity for disruption.  But could there in fact be a via media on AI, a path that celebrates technological advances while also respecting limits and safeguards? The key to such a shift, argues ethicist Meghan Sullivan, a professor of philosophy at Notre Dame, where she also directs the Institute for Ethics and the Common Good, is a commitment to prioritizing human life over technocratic paradigms.  That means, above all, foregrounding human dignity—a concept the Catholic Church is well-positioned to articulate.  Plus, Commonweal senior correspondent Heidi Schlumpf reports on Catholic news from the past few weeks, including schism, ICE roundups, and new polling about young people and religion.

“What's the evidence for Mary's Assumption and its importance?” This question opens a discussion on the early Church’s beliefs about Mary’s Assumption, highlighting its significance in Catholic theology. Additional topics include the necessity of Mary’s Assumption for her role as Queen of Heaven and the intriguing concept of fetal microchimerism related to her life. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:44 – What’s the Evidence for the Assumption of Mary in the early Church? 13:03 – Why did Mary have to be assumed into heaven in order to be Queen of Heaven? Why is it essential for us to believe it? 17:09 – Regarding the Assumption, can you elaborate more on fetal micro chimerism ( the mother obtaining the child’s DNA throughout her life)? 22:14 – If Mary’s Assumption was a historical event, then why is there no physical evidence for this? 29:20 – My 7-year-old daughter is claiming to see Mary to the point where she says things that are naturally outside of knowledge. We are converts. Is this something that’s common and what should we do? 38:18 – How can I accept Mary as the Queen of Heaven? 46:59 – I'm no longer Catholic and have studied the bible. Where is Mary's burial cloth? Why is Mary appointed queen of heaven and placed on a pedestal? No where in the bible does it say to pray to Mary.

What do you do when it feels like you're rowing against the wind in life? Whether you're facing struggles in your marriage, family, workplace, prayer life, or your own battle with recurring weakness, it can feel like you're making no progress. Dr. Sri reflects on Jesus walking on the water (Matthew 14:22–33) to reveal why God sometimes allows us to endure difficult seasons and why our greatest storms often become the place where we encounter the Lord most deeply. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Patrick brings together sharp listener questions, spiritual reflection, while threading through Catholic funeral practices, the meaning behind Christian burial, and the challenge of covering funeral costs. He challenges common assumptions about Natural Family Planning, illustrating legitimate circumstances with compelling real-life scenarios, and then moves to the unique training and authority required for exorcists, cautioning against lay attempts at spiritual combat. Wayne (email) - I respect the Church and her rules, but don't you think that "not having a visitation in the church before the funeral Mass" is a bit much? Families can save so much money by having a visitation at the parish instead of the funeral home. Funerals can be expensive. If these are the new rules, then no one in our family will be able to have a visitation. (00:53) Bill - I am a funeral director in Texas, and here many churches are open to having visitation the night before. The day of the funeral is reserved for the Mass itself. (09:13) Greg - What are the differences in the ordinations between bishops, priests and deacons? (13:15) Leah (email) - Is waiting to have children while married a sin? (22:33) Anna - Do all priests have exposure to and know about performing exorcisms? (41:31)

Father Michael Champagne joins us for a powerful conversation about faith, family, vocation, the Eucharist, and the incredible story behind Louisiana's beloved Fête Dieu du Teche.Raised in a deeply Catholic Cajun family, Father Michael shares how daily prayer, the Rosary, and Eucharistic devotion shaped his life and eventually led him to the priesthood and the Community of Jesus Crucified. He discusses the influence of Father James Fry, the meaning of redemptive suffering, the beauty of Eucharistic adoration, and why the Cross remains at the center of the Christian life.We also dive into the origins of Fête-Dieu du Teche, the annual Eucharistic procession along Bayou Teche that has become a powerful witness of faith throughout Acadiana.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A billionaire-by-today's-standards heiress walks away from New York high society, gets disinherited for becoming Catholic, and ends up in a poor mountain town because a stigmatic friar tells her to stay. That's Mary Pyle, and her hidden life helps explain why devotion to Padre Pio spread so far, especially among American soldiers who came home changed. We sit down with author Susan De Bartoli, secretary of the board of the Padre Pio Foundation of America and founder of Little Flower Pilgrimages, to tell Mary's story. ...Mary's early sense that “something was missing,” her years working with Maria Montessori as a multilingual assistant, and the moment Padre Pio looks at her and calmly claims her future: “This time you remain.” Then the wartime stories hit. Susan recounts the WWII bombing mission reportedly stopped by a monk in the sky, and how GIs later recognize Padre Pio's face, along with images of Our Lady holding the Child and Saint Michael with a sword. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the story.Padre Pio's American Daughter: The Story of Mary PyleVisit the site of Padre Pio and more!

Everybody has a season when money is tight. But what happens when that season never seems to end?In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda and Jonathan look at research connecting persistent financial hardship with slower processing speed, and changes in the brain later in life.They also compare two difficult seasons from their own family's story. One unfolded against a backdrop of constant financial instability. The other included even heavier circumstances—but felt less destructive because they had stronger financial systems and deeper trust in God.They discuss:Why financial stress consumes so much mental bandwidthThe difference between simple living and feeling financially trappedHow prolonged money stress can affect decisions, relationships, and your ability to serve othersWhy one difficult year does not define your futureHow to begin creating stability through budgeting, emergency savings, getting a month ahead, and paying off debtWhy financial recovery requires an intentional planHow asking for help—or becoming someone else's Simon of Cyrene—can lighten the loadBeing broke can cost you far more than money.

Mike focuses on Ezekiel's warnings about false prophets misleading the people of Israel, and challenges us to reflect whether we choose to listen to prophets who tell us what we need to hear, not just what we want to hear.

Patrick answers questions on guardian angels, prayers for those who left the faith, and whether grace can reach those closed off from it. He responds to lively debates on church customs, biblical mysteries like Lazarus’s age, and the classic rivalry between Tolkien’s epic and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, letting callers’ passions shape the flow. Music talk, real-life marriage milestones, and concerns for pro-life centers in California thread through spirited exchanges that move from deep Catholic doctrine to the simple joy of a catchy tune. Sheila (email) - Can I ask the guardian angels of my grown children (who have left the faith) to attend Mass and pray for them, and if so, what grace would result and could it still reach and affect them even if they are not open to it? (00:40) Daniel – Genuflecting (08:14) Deidra - There are two types of repenting: repenting every day and repenting and be baptized. We need both. (10:35) John - Do we know how old Lazarus was when Jesus raised him from the dead? (12:46) Doug – On Friday, the Archbishop of San Francisco wrote a piece about suing the abortion reversal pill (13:58) Nathaniel - What is better, LOTR or the Chronicles of Narnia? (20:57) Richard - I read the LOTR books and saw the movies. The movie was a bit of a letdown but I still loved them. The Narnia books fantastic. Andy - I want to know what is penal substitution and is it something Catholics believe? (34:13) Dave - For Nathaniel, Narnia Christian themes much more obvious but LOTR themes are deeper, more complex. I think both are excellent. (39:12) Ronnie - I want to encourage other married people not to give up on their spouse and try to make it better. Divorce is not the answer. (49:15)

Patrick unpacks the latest diocesan policies on Catholic funerals (eulogies and Church guidance around cremation) while fielding listener questions that wander from Aztec dancers at Mass to deep mysteries of the Trinity and what it means to be a child of God. He shifts from theology to pressing cultural flashpoints, dissecting caller concerns about salvation, the boundaries of Sunday obligation for the homebound, and the disorienting aftermath of pandemic mandates. In the swirl of doctrine, tradition, and current events, Patrick weaves clarity, candor, and unexpected connections. Per Bishop Paprocki, people in the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, are no longer able to eulogize or speak about their deceased loved ones during Catholic funeral rites (00:33) Louie - Aztec dancers: I had the same reservations that you described about them in Mass. At the Our Lady of Guadalupe festival danced in homage to her. (10:26) Christina - How does the Trinity work when Jesus doesn't know when the 2nd coming is but the Father does? (14:36) Bill - Confirmation on once saved always saved: We can take ourselves away from God. If we stay in a state of sin, can we remain that way and lose soul? (23:06) Liz - Does watching mass online meet the obligation for an older person who is 91 and not feeling good enough to physically attend? (36:32) Joe – I was forced as a police officer to take part in the COVID sham. How do I charitably deal with family who dislike us because we are non-vaxed. (39:27) Audio: RFKJR to Dana Bash, “You’re a parrot” -https://x.com/mattgaetz/status/2083936454955172313/video/1?s=46 (43:40) Audio: “Punish the unvaccinated” montage - https://x.com/adamcarolla/status/2083647615749493023/video/1?s=46 (46:54)

Patrick answers questions about the meaning of Jesus’s sacrifice, engaging Catholic and Reformed perspectives, and draws from St. Thomas Aquinas to consider alternatives and God’s sovereignty. He moves to the Rosary’s origins, connecting its biblical roots to powerful personal prayer, and then shifts to everyday struggles: guiding a son through spiritual tension in a split family, balancing empathy with the challenge of truth. The episode swerves from cultural debates about Aztec dancers in church to quick detours into baby name trends and one listener’s vivid story of discovering Catholicism through Scripture. Michael (email) - Could we say that Jesus's sacrifice was the means that the Trinity decided was most fitting to dispense grace & salvation? If some other means were chosen by God, would that means have required the Incarnation be involved in order to bridge the gap between finite man's infinite sin against God? (00:36) Al - What is the origin of the Rosary and the importance of praying it? (05:48) Andrea (email) - I’m laughing this morning as Patrick is intentionally expressing your confusion with all the inner workings of Lord of the Rings Armondo (email) - Please comment on the Aztec dancers at the Los Angeles Archdiocese’s Cathedral. (20:48) Ryan - My 15-year-old son did not get communion two weeks in a row, and he is trying to give up on the faith and does not want to go to confession. (30:04) Debbie – I’m in OCIA, and had a couple of epiphanies this past week from the reading on Sunday Romans 8:38-39, and that Mary is the mother of the Church (40:34) Bertha - Have you heard the Spanish song about abortion where the baby is asking the mother not to abort it? (49:32)

Fr. Mike reflects on how Isaiah's prophecies in chapters 49-50 point to the immediate reality of God's promise of redemption for Israel, as well as to the distant reality of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In our reading of Ezekiel, we also learn how the glory of God departed from the temple, and how God's presence is often hidden from us as well. Today's readings are Isaiah 49-50, Ezekiel 10-11, and Proverbs 12:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
