A rental house in Gary, Indiana. Black flies in the dead of winter. Children behaving... strangely. A boy allegedly walking backward up a hospital wall. Police reports. Child Protective Services removing the kids. A Catholic priest performing blessings. And eventually, Zak Bagans buying the house, investigating it, and bulldozing it into history.Join us as we dive headfirst into the infamous Ammons Haunting, better known as the Demon House. Was this a genuine case of demonic infestation escalating toward possession, or a perfect storm of fear, family stress, bad plumbing, and media chaos?

Patrick begins with the unexpected: the King of England appearing in rural Virginia and mingling with folks from Christendom College, sparking musings about encounters with royalty and humor about what anyone would say. He moves between stories of dramatic conversion—like Michael Knowles fielding classic Protestant questions with clarity—and calls from listeners reporting everything from guardian-angel warnings about brain tumors to vivid moments of spiritual nudging. Conversations tumble from the value of early sacraments to practical struggles with faith and teaching, all filtered through Patrick’s characteristic warmth and curiosity. King Charles visits Christendom College (00:50) Audio: Michael Knowles explaining salvation when asked if he knows where he will go when he dies - https://x.com/CforCatholics/status/2050019839293706545?s=20 (06:32) A woman heard voices telling her she had a brain tumor ‪— and scans confirmed she did - https://www.livescience.com/health/diagnostic-dilemma-a-woman-heard-voices-telling-her-she-had-a-brain-tumor-and-scans-confirmed-she-did (11:04) Aaron - I am seeing the fruit of young people receiving all the sacraments. (19:24) Clay – Thank you for being a big help to me (29:43) Sue - I didn't hear voices, but something was nagging me to get an endoscopy. They found something. I think it was the Holy Spirit giving me a nudge. (36:52) Valerie - Thank you for all that Relevant Radio does. I just converted to Catholicism and love what Relevant Radio has going on. (41:06) Elly - My niece is not Catholic and used to drink a lot and ended up in the hospital. She went into a coma. When she recovered, she called me and said that she saw a hand. She believes that it was God. She stopped drinking because of this. (42:47) Mary - I am new to the Catholic Church after 7 years. What is the history of the type of bread that we use for the Eucharist? (45:35)

Patrick welcomes callers wrestling with Catholic teaching on salvation at life’s end, marriage validity, blessings, and why the Catholic Church holds primacy over Orthodox communities. Questions about belief in the Eucharist and heartfelt appeals for better catechesis pulse through the conversation, with stories from once-skeptical converts interspersed with plainspoken, sometimes urgent advice. The message in every exchange: keep going, seek truth, and remain open to unexpected grace. David - My brother passed away. Were my sister's prayers for him enough to get him into heaven? (03:24) Mary - Can people bless other people without having a religious background? (13:57) David - How do you know that the Catholic Church is the one, holy, and apostolic Church and not the Orthodox? (20:45) Erin - Why can't we modify the Creed to include belief in the Eucharist? (31:24) Ralene - Seeing a lack of faith in the Eucharist has been hard for me to watch. I am in adult religious education. I don't think an Ecumenical Council will help. I think we need better religious education. (39:38) Audio: He said he feels like he’s been lied to. Then he went to 5 different Catholic churches. - https://x.com/BillArnoldTeach/status/2049634311268421729?s=20 (45:35) Audio: Young woman was trying to convert a Catholic, instead she converted - https://x.com/BillArnoldTeach/status/2050027755610505669?s=20 (47:50)

Patrick reflects on the uproar over a female "Archbishop of Canterbury" giving blessings at the Vatican, tracing how history and doctrine intersect with current headlines. Listener questions spark fresh conversation: does Christ's fulfillment of the Scriptures hinge on prophecy or typology, and did Adam and Eve ever coexist with dinosaurs? Patrick punctuates the hour with practical advice on spiritual discernment in an age of sensational claims, weighing private revelations, exorcism media, and the real weight of Catholic apologetics resources. Jennifer (email) - How are we supposed to respond when the female 'Archbishop' of Canterbury is at the Vatican showing blessing Cardinals and Bishops? (02:07) Jody - Why did Jesus allow himself to be baptized to fulfill the law? What does this mean? (03:29) Lorena (email) – What is your take on prophesies or mystics who still get messages from God or Mother Mary? (20:01) Noah - Which came first dinosaurs or Adam and Eve? (26:12) Bob - A YouTube priest I was watching turned out to be AI. Any advice on what YouTube channels I should watch? (29:14) Jamie - We spend more time on what the devil is doing than teaching people how to pray. What is a good book for apologetics? (41:45) David - Can a non-Catholic Christian receive last rites? (48:02)

Have you ever really thought about all of the promises and prayers of a Catholic wedding? Maybe even your own wedding seems like a bit of a fog. You know that you were there, but you barely remember what you did or said. Well, here's your chance to learn more about what is said and done at a Catholic wedding. Yes indeed, this is the 500th episode of the Konza Catholic podcast, and Fr. Gale has decided to celebrate this momentous occasion by focusing in on wedding season and the beauty of Catholic marriage.

In this episode, we looked at Josiah Strong’s Our Country and the wider Protestant fears that shaped late nineteenth century America, especially anxiety over Catholic immigrants, cities, and the future of the nation. We then connected those ideas to the racialized hatred faced by Italian immigrants, culminating in the 1891 mass lynching in New Orleans, where anti-immigrant prejudice and public violence collided. This was a story about how religion, race, and nationalism fused in American life and helped define who counted as truly American. #HistoryOfThePapacy #AmericanCatholicHistory #JosiahStrong #Nativism #AntiCatholicism #ImmigrationHistory #ItalianAmericanHistory #NewOrleans1891 #ChurchHistory #USHistorySupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?

“How do we reconcile the existence of evil with a good God?” This question opens a discussion that also touches on the Catholic understanding of the afterlife, the concept of purgatory, and how Catholics should approach salvation with non-Catholics. Each topic invites a deeper exploration of faith and doctrine within the Catholic tradition. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:00 – How do we reconcile the existence of evil with a good God? 10:25 – What is the Catholic understanding of the afterlife? 15:50 – Can you explain the concept of purgatory? 22:10 – How should Catholics approach the topic of salvation with non-Catholics? 30:45 – What role does faith play in the life of a Catholic? 39:12 – How can we better understand the Trinity? 45:30 – What is the significance of the Eucharist in Catholic worship? 54:00 – How do we respond to the claim that the Catholic Church is not the original church?

Patrick welcomes listeners with pressing questions about Catholic family life, confronting topics like political influences in Catholic schools, preserving childhood innocence, and whether yoga should play any part in a Catholic’s day. He fields calls with practical, faith-rooted answers, sharing stories from his own childhood and exploring the tough choices parents and grandparents face as modern challenges creep into classrooms. Thoughtful advice and honest discussion await anyone seeking clarity on raising faithful kids today. Magda (email) – My daughter’s Catholic school religious teacher is bringing up politics and pushing liberal agendas (01:09) Maria - Should we be telling our kids that children don't commit mortal sins? (09:08) David - Liberal teachings and life have always been part of everyday life. (15:57) Sandra - I heard you mention yoga. My instructor is now injecting things about the divine in the lessons. Should I continue to go? (23:08) Elizabeth - During mass, the priest says, 'in union with Leo our Pope'. If a priest is offering Mass in Rome, what does he say and what does the Pope say? (31:50) Laurie - I feel like the woman unhappy with class teaching should know that if it is the school's curriculum she should call the bishop. If this is just one teacher, then she should tell the principal. (34:38) Susan - I disagree with caller who says liberalism is not taught. My friend's grandchild’s teacher said that her son could marry another boy. (37:39) Denise - My daughter's girl has a teacher who told her that boys can marry boys and girls can marry girls. My daughter refuses to tell me should I ask my granddaughter. (44:40)

Patrick welcomes listeners into a mix of raw stories and real questions—grief after decades of marriage, struggles with overwhelming sadness, queries about predestination and Church traditions, even concerns about Catholic schools and modern practices like yoga, all swirling together with advice grounded in faith. He guides callers through sorrow, confusion, and faithfulness, answering pain with hope and confusion with clarity. Carol - Was there a Lilith before Eve? (01:43) Christina (email) - I’m not bowing to the Priest!! I am bowing to the crucifix the way we bow at the name of Jesus in the Gloria. (04:36) Jay - I just got hired as a counselor for a summer camp. How should I deal with pornography and sexual topics? How do I address this as a counselor? (07:51) Teresa - How can I overcome overwhelming sadness because of the loss of my husband? Can I pray to my husband? (12:35) Suzanne (email) - I quit my yoga membership (18:58) John (email) – Pilates is a good alternative to yoga (19:53) Paul (email) - Do parish priests know what’s going on in their own grade schools? (20:38) Kitty - I am 89 and my husband passed away 3 years ago. I’ve been in a very deep depression since then. (21:45) Valerie - Receiving the Eucharist every day has helped me ever since I lost my husband. (29:44) Jennifer - I am a younger widow and have gone through the grief process too. Going to church was the best healing I had. I also had children as a widow and changed my career. This blessed me so much. (32:44) Joe - What does the Catholic Church believe about Predestination? (36:53) Mary - Can I have priest come to my home to do a blessing? I have an adult special needs person I take care of. (43:09) Joe - How much free will do we have when God bestows us with mystical gifts like the stigmata, etc? (47:31)

Patrick opens with a listener’s raw question about whether animals have souls and a place in heaven, reflecting on classic Catholic teaching and insights from Aquinas and Augustine. He answers calls about resurrected bodies, incense at Mass, saging offices, and the spiritual usefulness of suffering, weaving stories, doctrine, and real-life doubts together in unexpected ways. Ordinary faith and grief come face-to-face with theology, ritual, and the curious details of daily life. Kathryn (email) - Do animals have souls? (01:36) Greg - Why are our physical bodies necessary after we die? (20:57) Faith - Eileen George was taken up into heaven and Jesus showed her the pony she had as a child. There are animals in heaven. (28:50) Claire (email) - Thank you for all you do, for your compassion, empathy and your sincerity when responding to Shelly (during yesterday’s show). (31:23) Aimee (email) - At times I even find myself associating suffering with holiness in a way that makes me question if I’m missing something spiritually. (33:18) Teresa (email) – My boss is using sage in our shared workspace (38:31) David (email) - Would it be better to not attend daily mass at all than to arrive to mass late or leave right after communion? (44:05) Todd - I own multiple spas and we burn sage, but we don't burn them for occult reasons. We use it for aroma. (48:23)

Marsha Lederman is a child of Holocaust survivors. She lives with the fear that one day someone will take her and her son like the Nazis did with her parents and their parents. "This is ludicrous," she told herself many times. But then she saw how people celebrated the October 7th attacks and watched how antisemitism showed up in the circles she felt most at home.This spring to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Lederman and child Holocaust survivor Jeanette Goldman shared their stories on Zoom at the University of Toronto's Regis College — an online event due to security reasons. They spoke about what true solidarity means today as antisemitism continues to rise in Canada. Lederman says: "We cannot allow antisemitism to stop us from speaking about antisemitism of all things."Guests in this episode:Jeanette Goldman is a retired federal judge and a child Holocaust survivor.Marsha Lederman is a journalist, daughter of Holocaust survivors, and author of Kiss the Red Stairs: The Holocaust Once Removed, and October 7th: Finding the Humanitarian Middle.Mary Jo Leddy is a Catholic theologian, author, activist, and founder of Romero House in Toronto.Bertha Yetman is a Regis College Alumnus, and organizer of “Remembering the Holocaust.”

Father Seán ÓLaoire isn't your typical Catholic priest. The Vatican banned him for teaching reincarnation and advocating for women priests. In this profound conversation, he reveals what actually happened during the two exorcisms he performed (including one where everyone in the room heard a demon scream except him), why Satan might be necessary for spiritual evolution, and the ancient Celtic wisdom he's been "smuggling" into Silicon Valley for decades.As Aubrey prepares for fatherhood, they explore the parable of the sower, what it really means to "become like a child," and why the greatest prophets aren't predicting the future, they're preventing it. This is a masterclass in mysticism, fatherhood, and the courage it takes to incarnate in 3D reality.| Fr.

“Do Catholics and Mormons worship the same God?” This question opens a discussion on the fundamental differences in how each faith views God. Additional topics include the reasons behind God’s silence for two millennia, the challenges faced by former satanists in addressing Mormon beliefs, and the complexities of LDS doctrines and their changes over time. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:15 – What’s the difference in how Catholics and Mormons view God? 12:51 – My father is not baptized but is open to dialogue. His best friend is Mormon so he is always listening to these perspectives. He asked, Why hasn't God spoken to his people directly for two-thousand years? 18:17 – I'm a former satanist and a new Catholic. How do I help persuade people from not going down the path of Mormonism? 30:17 – According to the LDS who arranges who gets what planet?

I was Mormon for 45 years and am now attending a Catholic church. How can you know that the early church had it right?

What if becoming Catholic wasn't just a class, but a public commitment that changes your entire life? Gomer and Dave unpack the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens in the OCIA process and why it marks a serious turning point in someone's journey toward Christ. They explore how the early Church treated baptism as a life-altering decision, why the Church publicly “receives” catechumens, and what it means to say yes to following Jesus in a real, concrete way. They also discuss conversion, spiritual warfare, and why modern discipleship often lacks the weight it once carried. We want to hear from you!

The hateful rhetoric and division in our modern society have shown us that what we allow ourselves to be fed through social media and other avenues, can slowly undermine the moral principles and values that we may profess, unless we take a strong and active stand against it.

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.

Patrick answers a cascade of listener questions spanning holy water, blessings, rosary habits, church customs, communion practices, and the challenge of family sacramental struggles. With each call, he responds directly, clarifying traditions, debunking misconceptions, and offering practical advice rooted in Catholic teaching. Genuine curiosity meets clear, steady guidance on everything from receiving communion to etiquette in the Mass procession. Jules - If I bless my home with Holy water is that better or worse than having the priest bless it? (00:48) Sig - How were people in the Old Testament forgiven of Original Sin and got sanctifying grace? (06:11) Ray - What do you say to people who say that 'Jesus didn't start a 'religion''? (08:37) Emmitt - I teach my kids to interrupt their day to pray the Rosary. In regards to bowing to the priest, I thought we were supposed to bow because the priest is wearing vestments and that makes him another Christ. (15:03) Bowing to the Priest at Mass? Not every reverent gesture is actually traditional - By Patrick Madrid - https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/the-problem-with-bowing-to-the-priest Michael - Kneeling to receive the Eucharist on the tongue. I want to do this but fear drawing too much attention to myself. Do I need to change churches? (23:17) Phillip - My daughter wants to baptize her child in the Lutheran Church. Is that ok? (29:59) Jose - My sister has been married legally for 10 years to a non-Catholic, and now she wants Holy Communion. What are her options? (33:22) John - The devil didn’t lie when he said that we could become like gods. This bothers me. Can you explain this? (38:44) Loretta – I put a Rosary App up to my mom's ear and she started praying it. (42:05) Patrick in Hayword, CA - People always get down on their knees during Mass when the priest passes. What is the etiquette for that? (44:05)

Patrick guides listeners who are going through spiritual struggles, addiction, and grief, and answers questions about faith, trauma, and the mysterious troubles people face. Stories emerge, some raw with pain, others filled with gratitude for healing found in prayer or moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament, all while Patrick offers counsel on everything from finding the right kind of spiritual help to the value of the rosary in daily life. He responds to each heart’s cry with practical advice and steady encouragement, holding hope and truth steady even when the road is rough. Paige - What is the ability of the devil to use people unwittingly to attack you? (00:39) Shelly - One of your callers wanted the Church to pay for abuse scandal, and the Churches in California to close. I disagree with this. People need the Church. (19:12) Claire - I am so grateful to Shelly. I have been a therapist for 30 years and have seen so many abuse cases. No amount of money will heal this. Forgiveness is necessary here. (30:30) Hazel - My nephew passed away and wasn't Catholic. Can I put a Rosary in his casket? (36:35) Christina - I find it helpful every morning to listen to Father Rocky recite the rosary with Maggie on the Relevant Radio app. (42:37) Ron - I am divorced and am paying alimony. I am ready to retire and the chances are she won't get alimony when I retire. Is it morally irresponsible for me to stop working? (46:44)

Patrick answers live listener questions about spiritual risks of secondhand finds, the nuances of holy water, and how demons interact with objects, then pivots to concrete parenting strategies for emergencies, sometimes recalling vivid childhood rituals and the importance of preparing children’s faith as much as their physical safety. He offers reassurance to a mother concerned for her profoundly disabled son’s sacramental journey, pausing over the Church’s compassionate flexibility. Stories of faith abroad, haunted embassy housing, and personal transformation through Catholic radio unexpectedly intertwine, guiding the hour into personal and collective reflection. Rosa - I buy second hand items and I worry they might be possessed; do I need to get them blessed? Also, it seems like Holy Water, that everyone is touching, might be dirty. (00:55) Chris - How do I prepare my kids for emergencies? (09:49) Jose - Do we have to go to funerals or visit the cemetery? (18:19) Loretta - Does the devil know the future for us? (23:14) Tanya - I wanted to thank you for helping me come back to the Catholic faith. (28:59) Peter (email) - I have fond memories of saying the "Angel of God" prayer every time we got in the car (37:12) Carol - I am the mother of a son with special needs. I am concerned that my son may never be able to receive Communion. What can I do? (38:35) Christine (email) – I am trying to find the St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism #3 for my teen who is getting confirmed (49:51)

John-Henry Westen speaks with Paul Kramer about the controversy surrounding the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and whether it met the requirements of canon law. The discussion centers on the distinction between munus (office) and ministerium (ministry), and how that difference could affect the legitimacy of later papal claims. The conversation explores broader theological questions about papal authority, heresy, and continuity in Church leadership. Implications for the pontificates of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also examined, underscoring ongoing debates within Catholic circles over authority, clarity, and fidelity to tradition.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

“How is the Mass a sacrifice if nothing seems to be sacrificed?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of the Mass, alongside inquiries about the practice of intinction in the U.S. and the reasons behind the removal of kneelers in some churches. Additional topics include the relationship between the Mass and Hebrews 10:14, and proper etiquette before Mass. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:40 – How is the Mass a Sacrifice if nothing seems to be sacrificed? 12:37 – How common is intinction practiced in the US? 15:11 – I'm not Catholic. Why did the Church take out kneelers? 23:26 – How does the Mass not contradict Hebrews 10:14? 33:03 – Is it licit to say, “my Lord and God” during the consecration? 41:19 – Is there proper etiquette for silence prior to mass? 44:58 – I am a protestant and I would like to understand the order of the mass. Could you help me make it understandable? 50:25 – When did priests start wearing vestments? 52:03 – Why do the priests stay away from telling people what they need to do at home during the homily?

Distraction, dryness, boredom, and discouragement are common in prayer. In this special pilgrimage episode, Dr. Sri stands in the home of St. Catherine of Siena—just outside the room where she spent years in deep prayer. Drawing from her wisdom, Dr. Sri explores why prayer can feel so difficult and what to do about it.

Patrick opens the show with listener questions about Catholic godparent requirements, moving briskly from canon law details to the deeper commitment such roles demand and voicing concerns about mixing faith traditions. Wedding memories surface as he talks about personal choices and statistics on marriage costs and divorce, suggesting that less spending might actually safeguard happiness. Patrick transforms angry listener emails into punk-inspired songs and wraps with practical reflections on pets, blessings, family, and Church teaching, creating a lively blend of humor and insight. Chelsea (email) – Who can be a godparent? (00:41) Mike (email) - At the time of becoming a godfather, I was not confirmed. I am not confirmed. Is there anything I need to do? Patty – The Orthodox church gives all the sacraments together and they seem strong in the faith, so should we be following their lead? (11:04) Invest in a Marriage not in a wedding - https://x.com/farmgirlcarrie/status/2048783138210611422 (21:35) Patrick and Cyrus share a couple of Nasty Gram letters that they turned into songs (39:09) Joanne - That was the best 2min of the morning show, turning negative email into a positive thing. (47:47) Efrank - Is it legal to spiritually prepare animals in a pet cemetery, such as putting holy water on them and other things to prepare their body for death? (49:13)

Patrick answers bold questions from callers, draws out wisdom on why the Church is called the Bride of Christ, reflects on the mystery of the Tree of Knowledge, and unpacks the rationale for infant baptism. Along the way, he weaves real-life stories about weddings and their expenses, even noting how modest celebrations often last longer in memory and in marriage. Ever the entertainer, Patrick reads complaint emails about tacos and transforms them into music, blending humor with genuine conversation. Scott - The Church is referred to as the bride of Christ but also referred to as Christ Body which is a man's body. Is the Church male or female? This sems to be a contradiction. (00:42) Women and Ordination by Joyce. A. Little, Ph.D - https://media.christendom.edu/1987/08/women-and-ordination/ Britney - Why did God create the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden? (11:27) Grace - There was a home wedding between a Jewish person and a Catholic and they got special permission from the bishop. The marriage lasted 45 years and it is still going on. Also, who is Saint Leo? (17:56) Richard - We just got our two infant children Baptized. We had to wait because of adoption papers. When we talk with our non-Catholic friends, they will ask why we waited if we believe as Catholics that infant baptism should happen right away. How should I respond? (26:57) Patrick and Cyrus share a couple of Nasty Gram letters that they turned into songs (35:59) Jennifer (email) - The High Cost of Marriage (45:13) Karen (email) - I wanted to get married in a place that was a little expensive

Patrick begins with mariachi banter and Taco Tuesday antics, blending playful music with humorous listener feedback, before shifting into heartfelt stories of catchphrases and daily faith. He reads messages about noisy Mass-goers, extraordinary parish fees, oddball breakaway churches, and field calls where listeners recount walking out of services or grappling with moral confusion in their congregations. Encouragement and wit spill out as Patrick fields everything from parenting to parish politics, always keeping laughter and a sense of holy purpose at the center. Patrick shares some of the MANY emails coming in from folks who love the Nasty Gram songs Mark (email) - I had an upsetting experience at mass today and I was hoping for your perspective (06:32) Ed - I went to a mass where they said John Paul II was the antichrist and I walked out too. Is it okay to talk politics and faith? (16:04) Nathan – Is the Palmarian Catholic Church in Spain a valid church? (19:25) Jesus – Do you have any tips on how to stay focused with distractions during mass? (25:04) Phyllis - Priest at mass said he hoped that cops will stop killing black people. Many people left after that. (30:59) Tom - I'm not Catholic and I’m disturbed by the sexualization of children. What can we do when it seems like clergy are on board with this in certain Christian sects? (39:27) Gabriela – Do you have advice for keeping my kids catholic when they grow up. Where do I start? (48:28)

Oooooon this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast it's Jorm and Soof. They couldn't get enough of each other on Late Night and going to the premiere of Lorne so they decided to do a pod. And not any pod, a Quad Army Q&A! Really, this is kinda just a story edition and no real questions so not sure what to call that. But in addition to Seth slowly turning this pod into Corrections we have a few really great stories from the QA. One of them involving Jorm and some impressionable Catholic high school girls (worded for dem clicks) and the other is about Seth being mad on a train.

Why would the Resurrection change how Catholics talk about sex?We got into an online argument about sex, marriage, and what husbands are owed. But the more we talked, the more we realized the real disagreement was deeper than sex. It was about what marriage is, what sexual desire is, and whether how we understood the Resurrection actually changes what we believe our bodies are for.We wrote a Catholic s*x book!

Ex-Satanist turned Catholic convert, Shayne Smith, returns for a wide-ranging conversation sharing his past involvement with the occult, thoughts on why the Catholic church is more popular than ever and insight into the life of a comedian.  Ep. 576 - - -

In this episode, we welcome Arthur and Ester Brooks to talk about marriage, suffering, and the path to lasting love. Arthur and Ester share what it's like to minister together, revealing both the grace needed and the hard work it takes to love each other faithfully over decades. We also reflect on suffering as an invitation for growth, why pain is fruitful, and how the hardest places in life are where love is purified. Whether you are married, single, or in religious life, intimacy with God is our source of strength for every situation we encounter in life.    Heather's One Thing - Franciscan's Resurrection Party!

How have I witnessed or experienced a marriage that is an antenna to God? What suffering in my life am I resisting? What are the discomforts and sufferings I have experienced today that I can thank God for?   Discussion Questions: When are you tempted to be led by your feelings? When have you had to let go of resisting suffering in the past? Where in your life, marriage, or relationships do you feel stalled? How is God inviting you to prioritize Him over your marriage, relationships, and responsibilities?   Quotes to Ponder: "It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal." (Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day, Rome, 2000)   Scripture for Lectio: "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer."

“How do you reach young people online and teach faith?” This question opens a discussion on effective strategies for engaging youth in their faith journey. Additional topics include addressing concerns about pre-marital sex with college students and the challenges faced by religious educators in reaching teens. The conversation also touches on teaching methods for confirmation classes and engaging late teens exploring Catholicism. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:22 – How do you reach young people online to help them encounter Christ offline? 07:56 – How do I explain to my niece who is in college who only sees the problem with pre-marital sex the potential of getting pregnant even though she was raised Catholic? 15:21 – I'm a religious educator for teens and I feel like I don’t have enough resources to reach them. What are your thoughts? 29:11 – I'm a catechist. Is it unrealistic to only teach in a classroom setting for 11–17-year-olds? 39:53 – I'm a confirmation teacher. How do I get them to talk? 47:48 – I'm a catechist and am getting a lot of late teens and early 20's who want to explore Catholicism but have no background in faith. Where do you recommend I begin with them?

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we continue building the case for a state of necessity by examining the heart of Catholic life: the liturgy. Fr. Wiseman explores how the widespread changes to the Mass and the sacraments have affected the spiritual life of the faithful—and even the identity of the priesthood itself. What happens when the Church's worship no longer clearly expresses her doctrine? How does the way we pray shape what we believe? Drawing on the principle lex orandi, lex credendi, this episode shows how liturgical changes can create a grave and general threat to souls, and why this crisis cannot be ignored.

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – – What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

In Hour 2, Patrick continues to cover questions from callers and emailers. Judy raised a question from her Catholic bible study group, where a fellow Catholic suggested that the Bible is allegorical and that Christ's storytelling was similar to Aesop's fables, Stewart asked why Confirmation tends to receive more emphasis compared to the other sacraments. Craig, argued that lowering the age would not be beneficial and could actually make things worse. Jim followed up by asking what steps would need to be in place to ensure children continue their faith formation, if the age of Confirmation is reduced. Judy - I am in a bible study and one of my Catholic friends made a comment that the bible is an allegory and Christ was using similar story telling to Aesop’s fables. Is the bible an allegory? Nick - I was confirmed in 1948 and received communion and confession in the 1st grade and then confirmation in the 3rd grade. I was taught totally by nuns and brothers who devoted their lives to the Church. I think that had a tremendous effect on me. Stewart - Why is Confirmation promoted more out of the other sacraments? Break 1 Craig - Lowering the age of Confirmation will not work on kids but make it worse and I teach kids this age, so I have good reason to support this. Elijah - Is it morally permissible for a DJ to play music with inappropriate material when requested? Break 2 Jim - What changes should be made so that kids continue faith formation if age is reduced? If song that talks negatively about God makes you think more about him positively, is that okay? Ed - Jesus is God but my pastor indicated he was second person in Trinity. is that different?

In Part 1 of 2, what did the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary and Joseph) talk about and do but was not recorded in the Bible? How do we know this? Answer: from tradition and from the mystics such as Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, Ven. Mary of Agreda, St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schonau. Join Fr. Chris as he summarizes what these mystics have said about what happened within the Holy Family during their time in Egypt, during their hidden life in Nazareth, during the death of St. Joseph, and during the public ministry of Jesus. Interesting stories are given (such as what the first words of Jesus were when he spoke) and what they did at home.
