As we draw near to the end of the Gospel of Luke, Fr. Mike briefly expands on the story of the poor widow's offering, emphasizing that the Lord cares more about the size of our hearts than about the size of our gifts. Fr. Mike also underscores Jesus' moving words to Peter when he foretells Peter's denial. Jesus' words remind us that no matter how fiercely the enemy tries to attack us, he is always praying for each and every one of us. Today's readings are Luke 20-22:38 and Proverbs 26:17-19. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

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. 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.

Across China, unregistered house churches are facing growing pressure from the authorities as the Chinese Communist Party tightens control over religious life. The Chinese Communist Party says citizens enjoy freedom of religious belief in accordance with the law. We've a report from the BBC's Correspondent in Hong Kong, Danny Vincent. Spanish Dictator Francisco Franco died 50 years ago on the 20th of November. We explore the legacy of his system of National Catholicism and how a far right party is gaining popularity in the country today. A religious theme is finding its way into the music charts thanks to the latest album from Rosalia. The Spanish singer herself appears on the cover in the guise of a nun - part of a phenomenon which has now been defined as "nunmania". Sister Gemma Simmonds from the Congregation of Jesus gives her thoughts on the trend.PRESENTER: EDWARD STOURTON PRODUCERS: KATY BOOTH & KATY DAVIS STUDIO MANAGERS: AMY BRENNAN & BEN HOUGHTON EDITOR: CATHERINE MURRAY

Hope is more than desire, and Pastor Al Dagel hopes the blessed hope of knowing Christ will strengthen you.     

Fr, Mike compares the story of the rich young man to the story of Zacchaeus, highlighting the difference in their willingness to follow Christ with their whole hearts. Looking at the stories of these young men, Fr. Mike invites us to reflect on our willingness to follow Christ with all that we are and all that we have. Today we read Luke 17-19 and Proverbs 26:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

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.

“Can you clarify the Fall of Man?” This episode delves into the complexities of humanity’s original sin, exploring how Lucifer’s fall relates to Christ’s incarnation. Additionally, we tackle intriguing questions about the identity of the woman mentioned in 2 John, the credibility of the Targum Neofiti, and the implications of Old Testament commands. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:57 – Guadalupe Radio… The fall of man sounds circular to me. Can you help clarify it? Lucifer falls because he knew God would become man. Then he causes man to fall thus Christ becomes man. 15:06 – A BYU scholar claims he knows who the name is in 2 John 1. He said it’s a woman named Eclecta and his conclusion came from reading the letter of St. Clement. What are your thoughts on this and What is the Catholic position on who she is? 22:49 – What is Q? What is the evidence behind it? 36:05 – In the OT the Israelites were told to kill all men women and children in the promised land. Is it too far a stretch to connect this with Christ wanting us to kill off all sin within us? 46:10 – How credible is the Targum Neofiti? What do we as Catholics know about it? 52:10 – What is ‘this' in Matthew 16:18 that Jesus built his Church on?

1) Why is an Openly Gay Man getting his sin validated by this lavender New York parish, with the full permission of Cardinal Dolan? Since the internet knows, will Pope Leo act or speak up about the activities of James Martin, SJ, with whom he has gotten smiling photo ops? This is all unimaginable before March 13 2013. No previous pontiff would permit this, or daily to respond if it happened. 2) Whom do you trust in the media and why? Patrick lays out his criteria for reliability: ignore anon accounts, look to see corporate sponsorship and business interests behind the host/influencers, and observe donor patterns. Are they an apostolate or LLC? Whom do they promote? 3) Is Charlie Kirk dead or alive? Patrick has contacted the Maricopa County burial records office, the Hansen Mortuary and chapel where Charlie's remains (?) were embalmed (?) and contacted the Diocese of Phoenix and the office overseeing Catholic cemeteries.   No one —not one—is willing to confirm or deny one tiny bit of information. Not personal or private things like literal grave location—just, is there any documentation verifying the death of Charles James Kirk on September 10, 2025?

In Lonely Crowds (Little, Brown and Co., 2025) Ruth, an only child of recent immigrants to New England, lives in an emotionally cold home and attends the local Catholic girl's school on a scholarship. Maria, a beautiful orphan whose Panamanian mother dies by suicide and is taken care of by an ill, unloving aunt, is one of the only other students attending the school on a scholarship. Ruth is drawn forcefully into Maria's orbit, and they fall into an easy, yet intense, friendship. Her devotion to her charming and bright new friend opens up her previously sheltered world. While Maria, charismatic and aware of her ability to influence others, eases into her full self, embracing her sexuality and her desire to be an artist, Ruth is mostly content to follow her around: to college and then into the early-nineties art world of New York City. There, ambition and competition threaten to rupture their friendship, while strong and unspoken forces pull them together over the years. Whereas Maria finds early success in New York City as an artist, Ruth stumbles along the fringes of the art world, pulled toward a quieter life of work and marriage. As their lives converge and diverge, they meet in one final and fateful confrontation. Ruth and Maria's decades-long friendship interrogates the nature of intimacy, desire, class and time. What does it mean to be an artist and to be true to oneself? What does it mean to give up on an obsession? Marking the arrival of a sensational new literary talent, Lonely Crowds challenges us to reckon honestly with our own ambitions and the lives we hope to lead.

Bob Johnston reads Justin Lee's "The Death of Halloween" and explores Halloween's origins in All Saints and All Souls, its links to Samhain, and how commercialization and social change drained the festival of its play, meaning, and communal purpose. The episode calls Christians to recover a spirit of reverent play and communal memory—reminding listeners why Hallowtide once united the living and the dead and how that sacramental imagination might be restored.

Fr. Mike confronts the hard truth Jesus preaches in today's readings: Many people will ultimately choose hell over heaven. While this can be deeply distressing, Fr. Mike reminds us to focus on Jesus's directive to each one of us: "[You] Strive to enter through the narrow gate." In the second part of today's commentary, Fr. Mike reflects on two of Jesus' most well-known parables: the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Prodigal Son. Today's readings are Luke 13-16 and Proverbs 26:10-12.

The Church's charity for the poor is a “part of her constant tradition.” Fr. Mike unpacks how the poor are the “true treasure of the Church.” He emphasizes that when we give to the poor what they need, we satisfy the requirements of justice. He also reiterates the importance of mercy and showing mercy to others. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2443-2449.

In this episode, Matt sits down with Adrian Lawson (@sipswithserra on YouTube) to talk about his wild childhood, what it was like growing up in a broken home, living in the foster care system, dealing with parents who were drug addicts, to becoming Catholic and defending that decision against his Protestant family.

A Catholic school in Pennsylvania put the words "Arbeit Macht Frei"—the infamous phrase from the Auschwitz gate—on the back of its Halloween float. Frank and Dan try to understand how something this shocking made it through so many adults without anyone realizing what it meant, and what it says about religious education and historical ignorance. Also this week: a "family values" lawmaker caught up in the Ashley Madison data leak, ICE detains an Episcopal priest who's legally in the U.S., and the Pope shuts down the "Mary as co-redemptrix" movement. Plus, Bangladesh clerics push to ban music in schools, and churches fail a TikTok test on helping hungry families. Finally, the guys talk about the outrage over New York City's new Muslim mayor, why so many people equate "Muslim" with "terrorist," and what that says about the fear that still drives American religion.

Andrew and Noleen Sedra have more in common than their faith. Both fled lands where being the wrong race or the wrong religion can cost you your life. Their stories reveal what it means to share the Gospel when every word could be your last.They lift the curtain on a growing movement, one that's quietly reshaping cities and cultures across the West. In places like New York, with its newly elected Muslim mayor, the influence of Islamic law and ideology is becoming harder to ignore.Andrew and Noleen warn that peaceful Muslims and Christians alike must stay alert. Extremist ideas are spreading, and they're finding unexpected allies among the radical left. If believers stay silent, the clash between Christianity and this rising force may come sooner than anyone expects.Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

Ray and Lucie dive into the world of demons. From Tucker Carlson's “blood in the sheets” story to the terrifying “Demon Database,” this episode spirals into Catholic guilt, goat demons, boiling holy water, and the question: which demon really attacked Tucker?

Patrick opens with reflections on shifting from liberal to more conservative perspectives, mixing personal anecdotes with sharp observations about culture wars, gender ideology chaos, the tug-of-war over political labels, and the confusion sparked by celebrity-driven trends. He answers hard-hitting questions about Catholic confession details and the proper use of anointing of the sick, offering grounded explanations. Unfiltered and honest through it all, Patrick threads witty encouragement with a resolve to speak faith-filled truth, no matter how noisy the world gets. Audio: Holly Valance - Everyone starts as a lefty . . . and then you go to the right. Holly is an Australian-British actress, singer, and model - https://x.com/basil_tgmd/status/1985287164951666776?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (19:00) Audio: Bill Maher on going too far left - https://x.com/TedNugent/status/1985799873568915850 (01:24) Audio: Yorkshire bloke asks why the calling regular people “far right” - Question Time Live From Bradford 30th Oct 2025 - Fiona Bruce presents an hour of debate from Bradford.

Kristan Hawkins, who is the CEO of the Pro-Life Generation and President of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action - https://x.com/4thOfJuly365/status/1988374209891037249 (14:23) Sherry - I fact checked and it seems like the parents decide the transgender of their kids and not the government. Is that True? (21:14) Penelope - My child is transgender: There are a lot of resources in the Church that help me in carrying this cross. (28:54) Email – Priest told me I don’t have to list the number anymore when confessing, just the sin. Peter - They have anointing of the sick at my parish. Is that normal? (42:15) Paul - Vatican Document of the title of Mary as Co-redemptrix: What do you think of it? And do you think that Mary as co-redemptrix is contained in the Dogma of the Assumption. What do you think? (47:22)

Patrick opens the hour reckoning with the Vatican’s Marian document, mixing his personal devotion and firm theological stance as he sorts out why its language stirs confusion and heated opinions. Calls ricochet from vocational discernment and science-versus-faith debates, including dinosaurs and human origins, to urgent family worries about conversion and the Catholic core, and Patrick responds fast, sometimes with book recommendations, sometimes pointed scriptural references, always nudging for clarity. Paul (email) - There was no reason for this document about our Mother Mary to be produced and sent out. As you mention, it has only caused more confusion, division, and dis-unity among the faithful (00:41) Connie - I am 30 and in OCIA. Is discerning religious life something converts should do and when should they do it? Am I too old? (10:57) Maria - Did the dinosaurs really exist on earth. How long has it been since the first humans were here on earth? (19:20) Lee - Will we celebrate the anniversary Mortalium Animos? (26:19) John - Why do some Christians wear a cross without Jesus? (36:23) Shannon - Should I read Catholicism Against Itself? How can I respond to someone who is reading this book? (42:42)

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

Father McTeigue completes his reflections from earlier in the week, explaining that most people don't realize what sin is, and don't understand the rupture that it causes.

Should mothers work outside the home? If you want an answer more solid than groundless internet opinion or conveniently vague appeals to personal discernment, this is the podcast for you. Margaret McCarthy joins the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss her essay on why anti-sex-discrimination law's treatment of the sexes as abstract interchangeable units hurts real women, real men, and real children (and real workplaces!). Then we dive into the neglected teachings of John Paul II and earlier popes on the objectively different relationships that men and women have to the home and to work outside the home. Margaret Harper McCarthy is associate professor of theological anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage & Family, at the Catholic University of America. She is the editor of Humanum: Issues in Family, Culture, and Science, serves on the editorial board of the English edition of Communio: International Catholic Review, is a member of the Academy of Catholic Theology, and is a consultant to the USCCB's Committee on Doctrine. 00:00 Introduction 2:30 Anti-discrimination law discriminates against real women, children, men, and workplaces 34:30 Sex difference: division of labor and customs 1:03:43 Catholic teaching on working mothers 1:33:08 Contraception and public life vs. the real feminine genius Links  Margaret H.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A flooded basement, a dead furnace, and three kids shivering through a New York winter. We start with a human story and a fundraiser that turned into a lesson in Christian charity—how a community can change a family's life overnight. Then we pivot into one of the most charged theological conversations of the moment: Scott Hahn's interview with Gavin Ashenden and the fault lines it exposed.We unpack why Hahn refused to let the conversation stall at labels, and instead zeroed in on a deeper danger: bicovenantalism. Is it anti-Semitic to critique Zionism? Hahn says no—and shows why conflating political critique with hatred is lazy and misleading. Walking through Romans 9–11, he offers a vivid image: remaining within the Old Covenant without Christ is like living in a mansion on fire. That line reframes everything. We explore how Catholic liturgy—altar, priest, sacrifice—fulfills biblical worship, while post-70 AD rabbinic Judaism marks a real discontinuity from temple-centered Israel. Along the way, Augustine and Aquinas remind us why the preservation of the Jewish people is providential and prophetic, pointing toward a future conversion near the eschaton.The conversation broadens with clips of Benjamin Netanyahu invoking “Jews against Rome” and calling the United States the “new Rome.” We connect that to the Church Fathers on the “restrainer,” the unraveling of Christendom, and how propaganda pressures Catholics to fall silent. The challenge is clear: resist panic labels, reject hatred, speak truth, and stay rooted in doctrine. We close with a heartfelt letter from a 27-year-old father discerning Catholicism while priced out of housing and ignored by leadership. It's a sobering snapshot of the moment—and a call for the Church to engage young men with honesty and hope.If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more conversations that don't dodge the hard questions, and leave a review with your takeaways.

November 14th, 2025 - We welcome back Dr. Anthony Stine of Return to Tradition to catch up on Catholic news from the past week. Then we're joined again by Bp. Athanasius Schneider to discuss his new book "No Greater Love: The True Meaning of Martyrdom". TheStationOfTheCross.com/ACT  

Are you “damned” if you don't repent immediately after sinning? In this video, “Damned If You Don't Repent After Sinning?”, we dive deep into one of the most confusing topics in Christianity: mortal sin, Catholic teaching, and whether 1 John 5 actually teaches a “sin that leads to death.” If you're a new Christian, someone who's Jesus-curious, a Christian struggling with your faith, or a skeptic trying to understand Christianity, this conversation will help you think clearly and biblically.We explore what the Catholic Church means by mortal sin vs. venial sin, why some believe certain sins instantly separate you from God, and whether Scripture supports the idea that a single sin can condemn a believer. We also look at Protestant theology, grace, repentance, and the heart of the gospel. Most importantly, we unpack the meaning of 1 John 5:16–17, what “sin leading to death” actually means, and how Christians should think about forgiveness, assurance, salvation, and spiritual growth.If you've ever wrestled with guilt, fear of losing salvation, or questions about how God responds when you fail — this video is for you. Let's seek truth, grow stronger in faith, and understand God's love more deeply.Like our content?

GetReligion editor Terry Mattingly discusses “Here we go again: "Good" bishops vs. "bad" bishops in Catholic news ”

You have probably never heard of the Military Council of Catholic Women (MCCW), an international network of Catholic women either serving in, or connected to, the U.S. armed forces. You probably also have not heard of the immense good they do across the globe, wherever the US military is deployed or stationed. This week on Register Radio, we talk with Register contributor Micele McAloon to learn more. And then, Tessa Gervasini from the Catholic News Agency joins us to tell us about this week's just concluded meeting of the US Bishops in Baltimore.

Fr. Mike reflects on the goodness and providence of God the Father, emphasizing how Jesus calls us to be shamelessly persistent in prayer. Fr. Mike also explains two difficult passages found in today's readings: what Jesus means when he tells the story of an unclean spirit who is cast out only to return, and what Jesus means when he says he comes not to bring peace but division. Today's readings are Luke 11-12 and Proverbs 26:7-9. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

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. 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.
