Personnel is policy. Sadly, Pope Leo XIV has promoted Archbishop Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli as the new Secretary for the Dicastery for Clergy—a bishop known for refusing to condemn an SSA “marriage” involving a Catholic scout leader and for praising restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass, saying that Pope Benedict XVI's liberalization of the Latin Mass was a “wrong decision.” Learn more about your ad choices.

It seems that every day we are seeing more examples of the drawn battle lines in our society and in our world. The spirit of chaos inspired from the pit of hell is real and very present. We are told that these battles belong to the Lord and that we were made for times such as these.

Patrick fields listener calls exploring everything from the quirks of Latin and Spanish translations in Catholic tradition to personal stories of family genetics and the odd surprises that pop up in RCIA. He considers questions about prayers, confession, annulment, purgatory, and even warns about the dangers of the occult, weaving serious advice with bursts of humor and pop culture nods. Conversations zigzag with unexpected warmth as Patrick jokes about Wham! albums while breaking down Catholic doctrine and practical faith questions. Robert - I taught Latin for many years. There are words in Latin that don’t exist in English and the same with all languages. In English, we have articles that don't exist in Latin. We need to add them in where we think they belong. (01:15) Pat - I think Las Nuevas is more of an idiom. I am not sure which is correct and if Las Nuevas has a religious context. (05:30) Jose - I know you come from an ethnic mixed marriage. How did you and your siblings come out as far as complexion? (08:39) Natalia - What about the use of language in certain prayers? (12:21) Sammy - My sister said that Purgatory is not in the Bible. She wanted to know why she had to go to a priest for Confession. (21:11) Greg - I have a question about an annulment. My brother got a girl pregnant before getting married. Wouldn’t Confessing fornication be grounds for an annulment? (30:11) Michael – Has Cyrus translated WHAM! lyrics into Latin? (37:10) TC - I believe that occult practices are an invisible addiction. Is there anything in the Bible that we can use to turn spells back on people who cast them? (38:33) Sophia - My mom has been away from the Church. Is it possible for her to go to Confession without OCIA and can she receive Communion? (46:41)

Most men today feel torn in a dozen directions. Family, work, faith, pressure, expectations, comparison, and the relentless noise of a culture that confuses success with self-promotion. In this conversation, Jeff Schiefelbein dismantles those false narratives. He reveals a radically Catholic vision of leadership and manhood built not on ego, luck, or hustle, but on integrity, stewardship, and the courage to live the life God is actually calling you to live.

Welcome to Day 2781 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – A Critical Examination of Alexander Hislop: Why His Teachings Should Be Ignored Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2781 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2781 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled A Critical Examination of Alexander Hislop: Why His Teachings Should Be Ignored.     Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons has long held sway in certain evangelical and fundamentalist circles. Its central claim—that Roman Catholicism is a disguised continuation of ancient Babylonian paganism—has influenced generations of Christians suspicious of the Catholic Church. Hislop argues that practices and symbols within Catholicism were derived from ancient worship of figures like Nimrod and Semiramis. Yet as modern scholarship has consistently demonstrated, these claims collapse under scrutiny. This article examines why Hislop's theories are deeply flawed, historically inaccurate, and ultimately harmful. The first segment is: A Foundation of Faulty Methodology. From the outset, Hislop's work suffers from methodological failure. Rather than employing credible historical sources, linguistic analysis, or archaeological evidence, Hislop leans heavily on speculation and forced connections. He draws parallels based on little more than superficial similarity—treating visual resemblance or name echoes as definitive proof of religious continuity. A striking example is Hislop's attempt to link the Virgin Mary with the Babylonian figure Semiramis. Rather than relying on historical context or primary sources, he builds his case on tenuous similarities and conjecture. This pattern repeats throughout the book. Hislop's conclusions are based on circular reasoning, and his work lacks the kind of critical evaluation expected in even the most basic academic research. The second segment is: Inventing the Nimrod-Semiramis Narrative. At the core of Hislop's argument is the narrative that Nimrod and Semiramis served as the original model for all pagan deities and that this archetype was smuggled into Christianity. According to Hislop, the Catholic portrayal of Mary and Jesus as a mother and child pair is simply a continuation of Babylonian goddess worship. This idea, however, has no basis in historical fact. There is no ancient evidence linking Nimrod, a biblical figure mentioned briefly in Genesis, to Semiramis, who appears centuries later in Assyrian and Greco-Roman sources. Semiramis is never presented as Nimrod's wife in any ancient record. Nor is she depicted as a fertility goddess or a “Queen of Heaven” in a context that would support Hislop's claims. Instead, she is often described as a powerful queen or military leader, not a religious figure. The pairing of Nimrod and Semiramis is entirely Hislop's invention. Furthermore, Nimrod himself is not attested in any ancient Mesopotamian inscriptions as a god, cult figure, or object of worship. Hislop's claim that Nimrod became the prototype for gods such as Osiris, Zeus, or...

Like the rest of us, Pope Leo, the first American Pope, is under siege by MAGA. We discuss MAGA's war on the "globalist," "culturally Marxist" Catholic Church with Colleen Dulle, Vatican reporter for America Magazine and author of Struck Down, Not Destroyed. Christian Nationalists have captured the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court. Now they are targeting the Holy See. We track the strategy from Steve Bannon's "gladiator school" for disinformation agents to recently converted Catholic JD Vance using his faith to justify mass deportations and ICE terror squads. MAGA has launched a financial boycott of the Catholic Church, provided safe haven and amplification for its biggest crackpots, while deploying dark-money disinformation and a Fox News-style Catholic press to target reformers. We also confront the Vatican's long history of abuse and gaslighting. We discuss the erasure of trans people and women leaders like Mary Magdalene, arguably the true first pope. We also look to what the first American pontiff, Pope Leo, will bring in this time of crisis, and whether he will continue Pope Francis's war on Opus Dei–the far-right human trafficking crime cult that gained prominence during Franco's dictatorship in Spain. Opus Dei has set up shop in Washington, DC, counting among its allies Vance and the Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts, architect of Project 2025.  Note: This conversation was recorded on June 17, 2025.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Georgia Tech as he engages students in conversations about faith, where we come from, and the creation of the universe. Through several conversations, listen along as the truth of God's word is brought to bear on the worldview of several real-life students. Segment 1 • Todd Friel stops an architecture student and uses a building's design to argue for a Creator. • The student insists the universe isn't really “organized,” pushing Todd to press the bigger question: How much evidence is enough? • The conversation turns into a blunt reality check about what people ignore every day, even when it's right in front of their nose. Segment 2 • Todd talks with a biomedical engineering student who says that some “impossible” events are totally plausible. • The student claims morality is subjective and shrugs off guilt—until Todd uses the Ten Commandments to test the “good person” claim. • The exchange ends with the student frankly admitting he doesn't care about judgment. Segment 3 • Todd meets Junior from Jamaica, who calls himself a Christian… but can't explain the gospel clearly. • Todd walks Junior through God's law, exposing how “good person” confidence collapses under honest self-examination. • Junior admits he's still “searching,” and Todd urges him not to confuse religious familiarity with true saving faith. Segment 4 • Todd speaks with Dan, a Catholic civil engineering student, and presses the logic of salvation-by-good-works until it breaks. • The courtroom analogy lands hard: being “sorry” or doing “extra good” doesn't erase real guilt, or satisfy justice. • Todd lays out the “great exchange” and calls listeners to stop striving, repent, and trust Christ alone before it's too late. ___ Thanks for listening!

“How is Jesus present in the Eucharist?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of Christ’s presence in the sacrament, addressing concerns about cannibalism and the essence of communion. Other topics include the implications for Anglicans considering Catholicism and the differing beliefs about the Eucharist among Protestants. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:24 – How is Jesus present in the eucharist? 15:37 – How is the Eucharist not cannibalism? I find that typically the answer is: it's not cannibalism because it's not destructive. My problem with that is destructiveness is not inherent in the definition of cannibalism. Cannibalism is eating another person, which is what we are doing. Did we just invent another definition for cannibalism so that we can say we aren't doing it? 29:59 – I grew up Anglican and am looking into Catholicism. I go to Anglican service with my Grandma. If I believe in the Catholic view of the Eucharist, but I'm not Catholic, should I stop receiving communion in the Anglican church? I'm worried how my grandma would react to that. 35:24 – Do Protestants who believe in some kind of eucharistic presence not really have the Real Presence because they don't have the Catholic sacramental priesthood? 45:20 – How is it that the Eucharist is really Jesus when most Protestants believe it's just a symbol? 49:16 – If Christ wanted to ensure belief in the Eucharist he chose an almost maximally ambiguous form, why do you think God allowed that ambiguity instead of clarity?

How do we truly accompany people into the Catholic Church? This campus minister seems to have cracked the code! Dave and Gomer chat with Kevin Pesek, the Campus Minister at St. Mary's Catholic Center at Texas A&M to talk about the surprising growth they're seeing in OCIA and what's driving it. Kevin shares what's working in their approach to curriculum, why vocation numbers are soaring, and how young people are deeply hungry for an authentic relationship with Jesus in the Catholic Church.

Patrick reads the Jerusalem patriarchs’ warning on Christian Zionism and Ambassador Huckabee’s rebuttal, then sharply analyzes the Catholic perspective on God’s covenant, biblical prophecy, and the complicated realities facing the Church in the Holy Land today. Theresa - My husband and I, in 2017, were received into the Catholic Church. We were married in a Protestant Church. Is our marriage valid? (01:21) Marie – Is it okay to cut a parent out of your life? (06:25) Patrick shares and responds to Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s post about non-evangelical churches in Israel (35:52)

Facing the dual crises of modern culture and Church confusion, how can Catholic parents build a thriving family? Father of 17 Conor Gallagher provides a surprising answer: order. In this profound conversation, Gallagher draws from business, philosophy, and theology to argue that the same principles that govern successful organizations, vision, unity, systems, and clear authority, are the non-negotiables for a faithful family.He reframes parenting as intentional leadership and marriage as a shared mission, offering practical steps to reduce conflict and increase joy. He urges parents to stop waiting for institutional solutions and start building strong, local "family ecosystems" rooted in faithful parishes, disciplined technology use, and intentional community. This is a hopeful, actionable guide for creating a home that forms children capable of resisting chaos and living with purpose.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Bible scholar Dr. Stephen Boyce to tell the story of his conversion from Baptist to Anglican and, ultimately, into the Catholic Church. Stephen's story begins in independent Baptist churches, up through his PhD in a Baptist seminary, and through teaching and pastoring, researching the Early Church, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that his own denomination didn't look like Early Christianity. Driven by these realizations, Dr. Boyce, his wife, and kids became Anglican and, eventually, driven by the Real Presence in the Eucharist, Catholic.Dr. Boyce is someone that I've personally followed for some years. I love patristics and have appreciated his work and I couldn't be more excited to sit down with him and listen to his conversion story this week.

Can faith sustain courage and openness in a polarized democracy? Former Ohio governor and presidential candidate John Kasich reflects on faith, fear, character, and public life amid deep political polarization and religious tension in America.“There is a certain comfort in knowing you have somebody who's always in your corner.”In this conversation with Evan Rosa, Kasich reflects on personal faith shaped by tragedy, the search for purpose, and why character matters more than ideology in leadership. Together they discuss religious faith in American life, his experience running in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, voting on character over beliefs, firm political commitments, open-minded perspective taking, his vision of a life worth living, and before the end of this conversation, you'll find out his favorite Metallica song.Episode Highlights“There is a certain comfort in knowing you have somebody who's always in your corner.”“You can be firm while at the same time looking at a point of view of somebody who's diametrically opposed to you.”“I look for character. I don't look for what somebody thinks about the Book of Revelation.”“Faith informs the way I think about things, but it doesn't spell out what I'm going to do.”“If you begin to work together to solve a problem locally, it can actually create friendship.”About John KasichJohn Kasich is a former U.S. congressman, two-term governor of Ohio, and presidential candidate with more than four decades of experience in public service, media, and civic leadership. First elected to the Ohio State Senate at age 26, he later served 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives before becoming governor in 2011. Kasich has authored six books exploring politics, faith, leadership, and civic responsibility, including his most recent, Heaven Help Us: How Faith Communities Inspire Hope, Strengthen Neighborhoods, and Build the Future. He is known for emphasizing character, dignity, and community-based solutions over ideological rigidity. Kasich frequently speaks on leadership, faith in public life, and democratic renewal, and continues to engage across political and cultural divides in pursuit of common purpose.

Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses James McMaster, the Catholic editor of the Freeman's Journal, characterizing him as an extraordinary polemicist who was imprisoned for his "vituperations" against the war. McMaster argued the war denied the rights of free men and refused to retract his views upon release. The segment also features Samuel "Sunset" Cox, a Democrat who famously attacked New England Puritanism as the source of the nation's meddling and moral extremity.1885 HENRY BEECHER AS GULLIVER

SHOW SCHEDULE1-19-20261914 FLAG DAY WITH WILSON, BRYAN, ROOSEVELT Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses President James Buchanan's January 4, 1861, national fast day, intended to unite a fracturing nation through prayer and repentance. While old-school Presbyterians like Charles Hodge supported this call for divine intervention, the effort largely failed to forestall war. The event highlighted three distinct groups of religious nationalists: conservative Unionists, anti-slavery Republicans viewing slavery as a national sin, and pro-slavery theologians defending the institution on scriptural grounds. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine explains that President-elect Lincoln did not view Republicans as overly aggressive, positioning himself as a constitution-respecting centrist rather than a radical. Lincoln opposed slavery's expansion but acknowledged its constitutional protection where it already existed, believing the South was misled by elites and would eventually return to the Union. Ironically, Lincoln and Buchanan, though political opposites, worshiped at the same Washington church, sharing an old-school Presbyterian background. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. In September 1861, Lincoln proclaimed a fast day, carefully avoiding specific references to slavery to maintain political unity. Carwardine details the conflict surrounding General Frémont's unauthorized emancipation order, which Lincoln revoked to prevent losing loyal border states like Kentucky. Consequently, anti-slavery nationalists used the pulpits to criticize Lincoln's caution, demanding the war become an explicit crusade against the "gigantic crime" of slavery rather than just a restoration of the Union. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens' "Cornerstone Speech," which explicitly defined racial inequality as the Confederacy's foundation, a stance widely condemned in the North. Carwardine notes that despite earlier tensions, Lincoln viewed his fast days as successful, utilizing them and meetings with religious delegations to gauge public sentiment and prepare the ground for eventual emancipation. Lincoln valued these interactions to influence and learn from denominational leaders. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine details the intense political opposition Lincoln faced in 1863 following the Emancipation Proclamation. He highlights Clement Vallandigham, a "Peace Democrat" leader who viewed the war as unwinnable and Lincoln as a "Puritan despot." Carwardine explains that the Democraticcoalition was fractured by religion, specifically between Catholics and Protestants, yet united in opposing the administration. Lincoln ultimately banished Vallandigham to the Confederacy to neutralize his influence. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses James McMaster, the Catholic editor of the Freeman's Journal, characterizing him as an extraordinary polemicist who was imprisoned for his "vituperations" against the war. McMaster argued the war denied the rights of free men and refused to retract his views upon release. The segment also features Samuel "Sunset" Cox, a Democrat who famously attacked New England Puritanism as the source of the nation's meddling and moral extremity. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to the Union's "low point" in August 1864, where Lincoln expected to lose the election to Democrat George McClellan. Carwardine describes the Democraticcampaign as "brokenbacked" for pairing a general with a peace platform. However, the fall of Atlanta revived Union hopes. Carwardine emphasizes how pastors articulated a "higher cause"—the preservation of a unique republican government—to justify the war's terrible "bloodletting" and sacrifice. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine analyzes the war's conclusion and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, which framed the conflict as divine judgment for the shared offense of slavery. He notes that Lincoln intended a Reconstruction based on charity and "absence of malice," rather than punishment. By 1865, Lincoln's views had evolved to support citizenship for African American veterans, though his assassination left the specific blueprint for the nation's reintegration unfinished and uncertain. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. In 1925, the Tennessee legislature passed the Butler Act, banning the teaching of evolution in public schools. At Robinson's drugstore in Dayton, local booster George Rapier and others recruited 24-year-old science teacher John Scopes to violate the law as a test case to generate publicity for the town. Although Scopes was knowingly guilty, the ACLU backed the defense to challenge the law's constitutionality regarding the separation of church and state. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The ACLU, seeking to defend religious liberty and raise its profile, seized upon the Scopes case. While the board considered prestigious constitutional lawyers, the notorious Clarence Darrowvolunteered his services pro bono because he viewed the Butler Act as bigoted. Despite the ACLU's hesitation regarding Darrow's controversial reputation from the Leopold and Loeb trial, Scopes insisted on having the "street fighter" Darrow defend him against William Jennings Bryan. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Clarence Darrow was a celebrated attorney known for his "downhome" jury appeals and defense of the marginalized. Mentored by progressive John Altgeld, Darrow built a reputation defending labor unions, socialists like Eugene Debs, and the poor against powerful corporations. However, his career suffered a "bad patch" following the McNamara brothers' bombing case in Los Angeles, where Darrow himself faced trials for allegedly bribing a juror, leaving him with a checkered reputation. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan joined the prosecution to revive his political career and defend fundamentalism. Famous for his populist "Cross of Gold" speech, Bryan had become rigid in his views, advocating for prohibition and a literal reading of the Bible. He viewed the trial as a platform to combat the theory of evolution, which he believed deprived children of a moral center and denied the miracles of creation. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Fundamentalist Judge John T. Raulston presided over the trial, enjoying the publicity brought by loudspeakers and radio coverage. The defense included civil liberties lawyer Arthur Garfield Hayes, a secular Jew, serving as a constitutional anchor. Meanwhile, William Jennings Bryan arrived as a celebrity in a pith helmet, though Scopes noted Bryan ignored his own diabetes by overeating at dinner, revealing a disconnect between his fundamentalist beliefs and medical science. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's "fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. During a stifling heatwave, the trial moved outdoors where Darrow executed a shocking maneuver by calling prosecutor William Jennings Bryan to the witness stand. Darrow interrogated Bryan on his literal interpretation of the Bible, questioning stories like Jonah and the whale. Bryan faltered, admitting creation "days" might be metaphorical periods, which undermined his fundamentalist position and allowed Darrow to humiliate him regarding his knowledge of history, geology, and world religions. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The trial ended abruptly with a guilty verdict, denying Bryan his closing speech; he died days later, likely due to heat, stress, and diabetes. John Scopes eventually became a geologist and lived a reclusive life, refusing to exploit his fame. Darrow's later career fluctuated, including a controversial defense in the racially charged Massie trial in Hawaii, before his death in 1938, leaving behind a complex legacy beyond the "Inherit the Wind" narrative.

MLK Day, Postliberalism, and the Assault on Civil Rights On Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026, Brad Onishi reflects on the legacy of civil rights in a moment when those rights are under unprecedented threat, one year into Donald Trump's second term. From Trump's humiliating and dangerous letter asserting U.S. control over Greenland to the escalation of ICE abuses in Minnesota, this episode argues that the core idea of civil rights—inalienable human dignity promised to all—has entered a period of open attack. Drawing on King's own words, Brad frames civil rights not as radical demands, but as a fight for what the United States has always claimed to promise: equality under the law, due process, and freedom regardless of race, religion, immigration status, or identity. Brad then introduces the real engine behind this moment: postliberalism. Joined by theologian and political theorist Dr. David Congdon, the episode unpacks how postliberal movements—rooted in both Christian theology and Silicon Valley technocracy—reject liberal democracy, individual rights, and pluralism in favor of hierarchy, authoritarian power, and state-enforced moral order. From JD Vance to Catholic integralists to tech elites dreaming of CEO-rule, these movements converge in their hostility to democracy and civil rights. This conversation situates Trump's second term as the first sustained experiment in federal postliberal rule, explaining how backlash to the Civil Rights Movement itself helped fuel today's authoritarian turn—and why understanding postliberalism is essential to grasping what is happening to American democracy right now.

What does the Bible really mean when it says Adam and Eve were “naked and not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25)? Dr. Sri explores how Adam and Eve's physical nakedness points to something far deeper: total trust, vulnerability, and freedom—what we were created for before sin entered the world. He reveals how shame entered the human story, explaining how it causes us to hide, perform, compare, and fear being truly seen. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Patrick opens the lines to questions about immigration, law, guns in churches, and what it means to uphold faith amid political conflict. He weighs justice against mercy, weighs personal responsibility for safety with the call to peace, and refuses to skirt the tension between Catholic teaching and party platforms. German (email) - Immigration, Minnesota, and Our Bishops (00:35) George – I’m opposed to weapons in church. (08:20) Mark - I am defending the Trump administration. They knew that this would blow up. If people don't realize that they are naive. (16:18) Patsy - I am calling in regard to what you all are saying. I don't think God would order anyone to shoot to kill. I don't think supporting Trump is right. (21:09) Nick - We have the March for Life coming up and we can show the world what a peaceful protest is like. (26:59) Joe - Can you be a Catholic in good standing and vote for Democrats who support abortion, transgender and other things contrary to the Catholic faith? (30:14) Audio: President Clinton and President Obama – “we are a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws” (37:52) Sarah - I am disappointed in you for not answering this guy's question. You can't be a Democrat and Catholic at same time if you want to be true to faith. (41:19) Will - People keep telling you that you don’t let you talk when they come up with 6-8 different things! I think Patsy is an agitator. Going after Patrick like protestors going after ICE agents. (46:17) Tammy - Religious freedom is important when it comes to being prolife. (49:02)

Patrick answers questions about shifting spiritual loyalties, misunderstandings about Catholic history, and the raw ache of grief after losing a spouse. Santos - Is it okay for Catholic's to go to other churches (01:26) Donna – My daughter believes that Spanish settlers came and forced Indians to be Catholic and to work in the missions. (24:34) Patrick recommends a few books that focus on the early Spanish settlers, many specially about Father Junípero Serra and the work he did converting the natives of America's Pacific coast. (36:03) Ronnie – I used to dread going to confession, but discipline leads to the sacraments (41:56) Jenny - I suffer from a lot of anxiety and fear and always feel guilty. I don't have peace. How can I find peace? (48:34)
