Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:25 – Aren't annulments legalistic, bureaucratic, and all about control? 07:08 – Why was an annulment granted if it doesn’t seem like it should be granted? 13:36 – My boyfriend is Protestant, married in the protestant church and is divorced. Why does he have to get an annulment if he’s not Catholic? He’s not interested in joining the Catholic church at this point. He’s doing this for me because I want to be married in the Catholic Church. 16:24 – Why don’t they call in the priest who gave the couple the pre marriage instruction to a couple seeking an annulment? 18:46 – I got an annulment 20 years ago. Is there a way for me to see what my ex husband submitted on his side of the annulment report? 22:33 – What does the Church teach on pursuing romantic relationships while waiting for an annulment? Is there anything that is offered to help prevent future annulments? 31:05 – You keep talking about the Marriage bond. Does that also include the covenant? 34:14 – If my nephew decided to return to the Church one day, could he have an annulment and remarry one day? 41:48 – Once the annulment is granted the marriage is not valid. Does that mean the kids and their sacraments are also invalid? 44:49 – Can an annulment decision be appealed? 47:55 – Is there any hope to get an annulment if the witnesses are no longer able to be located? 50:51 – My marriage was annulled 50 years ago and all I got was a letter in the mail and I never participated with it. It felt like a slap in the face to be told that my 9.5 year marriage never existed. I left the Catholic Church after that. Should there be a limit to when you can seek an annulment?

Full Text of ReadingsEighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 114The Saint of the day is Saint Peter Julian EymardSaint Peter Julian Eymard’s Story Born in La Mure d'Isère in southeastern France, Peter Julian's faith journey drew him from being a priest in the Diocese of Grenoble in 1834, to joining the Marists in 1839, to founding the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856. In addition to those changes, Peter Julian coped with poverty, his father's initial opposition to Peter's vocation, serious illness, a Jansenistic overemphasis on sin, and the difficulties of getting diocesan and later papal approval for his new religious community. His years as a Marist, including service as a provincial leader, saw the deepening of his Eucharistic devotion, especially through his preaching of Forty Hours in many parishes. Inspired at first by the idea of reparation for indifference to the Eucharist, Peter Julian was eventually attracted to a more positive spirituality of Christ-centered love. Members of the men's community which Peter founded alternated between an active apostolic life and contemplating Jesus in the Eucharist. He and Marguerite Guillot founded the women’s Congregation of the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament. Peter Julian Eymard was beatified in 1925 and canonized in 1962, one day after Vatican II's first session ended. Reflection In every century, sin has been painfully real in the life of the Church. It is easy to give in to despair, to speak so strongly of human failings that people may forget the immense and self-sacrificing love of Jesus, as his death on the cross and his gift of the Eucharist make evident. Peter Julian knew that the Eucharist was key to helping Catholics live out their baptism and preach by word and example the Good News of Jesus Christ. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

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.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:00 – How would baptism work for a Trill and symbiote (from Star Trek)? 12:30 – Would a time-traveling Catholic before Christ still have a Sunday obligation? 16:39 – Why hasn't God revealed stories of earlier creations before our time? 28:48 – Can a baptized person with intellectual disabilities be considered a saint? 38:05 – Should the Church explore the 4th dimension to better understand Scripture? 47:34 – Any strange movies with rich theological themes to recommend?

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 406The Saint of the day is Saint Eusebius of VercelliSaint Eusebius of Vercelli’s Story Someone has said that if there had been no Arian heresy denying Christ's divinity, it would be very difficult to write the lives of many early saints. Eusebius is another of the defenders of the Church during one of its most trying periods. Born on the isle of Sardinia, he became a member of the Roman clergy, and is the first recorded bishop of Vercelli in Piedmont in northwest Italy. Eusebius was also the first to link the monastic life with that of the clergy, establishing a community of his diocesan clergy on the principle that the best way to sanctify his people was to have them see a clergy formed in solid virtue and living in community. He was sent by Pope Liberius to persuade the emperor to call a council to settle Catholic-Arian troubles. When it was called at Milan, Eusebius went reluctantly, sensing that the Arian block would have its way, although the Catholics were more numerous. He refused to go along with the condemnation of Saint Athanasius; instead, he laid the Nicene Creed on the table and insisted that all sign it before taking up any other matter. The emperor put pressure on him, but Eusebius insisted on Athanasius' innocence and reminded the emperor that secular force should not be used to influence Church decisions. At first the emperor threatened to kill him, but later sent him into exile in Palestine. There the Arians dragged him through the streets and shut him up in a little room, releasing him only after his four-day hunger strike. They resumed their harassment shortly after. His exile continued in Asia Minor and Egypt, until the new emperor permitted him to be welcomed back to his see in Vercelli. Eusebius attended the Council of Alexandria with Athanasius and approved the leniency shown to bishops who had wavered. He also worked with Saint Hilary of Poitiers against the Arians. Eusebius died peacefully in his own diocese at what was then considered an advanced age. Reflection Catholics in the U.S. have sometimes felt penalized by an unwarranted interpretation of the principle of separation of Church and state, especially in the matter of Catholic schools. Be that as it may, the Church is happily free today from the tremendous pressure put on it after it became an “established” Church under Constantine. We are happily rid of such things as a pope asking an emperor to call a Church council, Pope John I being sent by the emperor to negotiate in the East, or the pressure of kings on papal elections. The Church cannot be a prophet if it's in someone's pocket. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Fr. Mike touches upon the prophecy of judgment against Babylon and Israel, and how God still promises to be Israel's redeemer despite their disobedience. We also read about Ezekiel's vision of the temple and how the markings on the foreheads of the Israelites symbolizes the mourning of true worship, and also foreshadows Jesus' death on the Cross. Today we read Isaiah 47-48, Ezekiel 8-9, and Proverbs 12:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Patrick brings listeners through childhood Beatles memories, uncanny coincidences, and the ripple effects music has on family life while fielding questions about Catholic prayer, door-to-door missionaries, and engaging stories of faith discovery. Stories move quickly from John Lennon collectibles and quirky mobile ads to practical apologetics and lively advice about handling unexpected guests intent on conversion. Humor and thoughtful insight intermingle as Patrick tackles repetition in prayer and faith journeys, giving the hour a rhythm that keeps listeners on their toes. Glen shares his John Lennon story (00:31) Patrick shares the first time he talked with Mormon Missionaries (09:33) Aimee (email) – There was a very disturbing ad on one of the games I play on my phone (13:18) Valerie (email) – I’ve never heard anyone in the media discuss how the Beatle Invasion impacted families in this country. (21:59) Josiah - I am not Catholic, but I am curious about Catholic prayer. Can you explain how Catholics legitimize repetitive prayer in light of Matthew 6? (37:41) Kelly - I had Mormons come to my house and I was 7th day Adventist, and I asked about the Sabbath, and they needed to bring in an elder and told me I wasn't allowed to talk to them anymore. (43:33)

Fr. Mike highlights the works of King Cyrus, who we met yesterday, and how he is able to contribute to the will of God without actually knowing him. Cyrus not only shows us that no soul is ever too far for God's grace, but that God makes all things new, and is able to bring beautiful blessings from the most desperate situations. Today's readings are Isaiah 45-46, Ezekiel 6-7, and Proverbs 12:9-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Patrick wrestles with the rise of foul language in daily life, pulling in emails and thoughtful calls to weigh how movies and workplaces normalize swearing. Practical ideas like media filtering services and scriptural reflections tumble in, stirring lively back-and-forth about raising children and fostering respect. A sudden shift brings up deep questions about biblical history and the nature of God beyond time, all woven together in Patrick’s signature blend of candor and humor. Karen (email) - Is St John Henry Newman the same person as St John Newman? (00:28) Jane (email) - Do people swear more at work nowadays than they did decades ago? (01:37) James (email) - I sometimes hear other Catholics say that swearing is ok. I refer them to Col 3:8. I also tell my children that he who curses lives a cursed life. (11:23) Nicki - On the topic of movies and language, we have a special program that allows us to take out bad language. (13:26) Todd - As a Catholic man, I ignore it when people take God's name in vain. During Lent, I gave up profanity and I had a great change in my life. (22:11) Gale - There is an app called VidAngel that removes cuss words and avoids sex scenes and nudity. (26:39) Nancy - How do we know that the Jews are the Chosen people? Also how do we know that God is out of time and space in relation to Purgatory? (29:11) Patrick shares more bible versus in response to God being outside of time (39:23) Mark - I agree and have trouble with bad language. Can it be good in story telling for adults? Mark Twain used the N word sometimes. (47:45)

Send us a text by clicking this link!This episode dives deep into a controversial topic that's increasingly dividing Catholic circles: Is it acceptable to criticize post-conciliar popes? We examine how modern Church leaders often seem reluctant to boldly proclaim traditional Catholic teachings, instead offering apologies for historical Church actions like the Crusades and Inquisition.The cultural divide between cradle Catholics and converts becomes evident as we discuss how differently they perceive papal criticism. Many who entered the Church under Pope Francis's pontificate struggle with the concept that one can question certain papal statements while remaining faithful to the Church herself. This dynamic creates fascinating tensions in how Catholics understand their relationship with Church authority.Between theological discussions, we explore broader cultural phenomena that reflect similar themes of institutional weakness. From a woman wanting to divorce her "perfect" husband because she "can't find herself," to fitness influencer Joey Swoll's groveling apology for commemorating Hulk Hogan, we witness how quickly people abandon reasonable positions when faced with criticism or emotional discomfort.Whether examining Cardinal Tagle leading jean-clad influencers in prayer at the Vatican or the differences between traditional and progressive Catholic approaches, this episode provides a thoughtful, nuanced exploration of how to remain faithful while engaging critically with Church leadership.

Fr. Mike emphasizes our title as children of God as we read about the tragedy of the Babylonian exile. Even in our lowest moments, God wants us to know that he has called us each by name and has called us his, because a good Father does not abandon his children.

Today, we're doing a deep dive into Catholic and Protestant views on Mary. We break down the four Catholic dogmas — mother of God, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption — explaining their traditional foundations. We contrast these with Protestant beliefs, rooted in sola scriptura, viewing Mary as a faithful, humble servant without divine status. Did Mary have children after Jesus, and was she assumed into heaven? We take a look at these questions and more. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

Mike Gormley emphasizes the importance of hope, while meditating on Pope Leo's reflections, praising his ability to speak on the human and spiritual level. Gormley also analyzes the Pope's General Audiences as he dissects two popular parables, “The Parable of the Sower” and the “Good Samaritan”.

Let's talk about the differences between Protestants and Catholics and why Catholics might seem more negative. How can we cultivate joy, awe, and wonder as Catholis and teach our children to do the same?

In a world flooded with misinformation and digital noise, how can Catholics use media to evangelize with clarity and credibility? Montse Alvarado, President of EWTN News, joins Katie to talk about why traditional media—especially television and radio—still matter and what it takes to earn and keep the public's trust. Together, they dive into the urgent need for honesty and transparency in Catholic media and explore how that same trustworthiness must carry over into digital and social platforms. This conversation is a timely and inspiring look at how truth, trust, and technology intersect in the mission of evangelization today. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Piece Benefield. A fierce defender of Calvinism, Pierce converted to the Catholic faith after a long and fascinating journey – including going head-to-head with Catholics in a group chat, fulling intending to convert them to Calvinism, but being challenged by their through and thoroughly biblical responses to many of his objections to Catholicism!This week, we talk about Pierce's evangelical upbringing, his shift to the serious and intellectual strand of Calvinism, and what eventually drew him into full communion with the Catholic Church – as a former anti-Catholic evangelist! Plus, we tackle objections like Mary, understanding the Early Church Fathers, and the amazing story of other converts Pierce has met along the way!For more from Pierce check out two of his other appearances on YouTube.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Every day presents an opportunity for us to draw closer to God. In this sermon, we hear a hypothetical tale of a man who commits himself daily to strengthen himself in Christ. It is a reminder that we are called to order our lives well and draw our strength from God to live an authentically Catholic life.

Fr. Mike compares the messages of Isaiah and Ezekiel, one coming from a pre-exile time and the other from a post-exile time. Even though they are coming from two very different points in salvation history, they both are persistent in speaking the Word of God, and sharing his consolation with the people of Israel. Today's readings are Isaiah 41-42, Ezekiel 2-3, and Proverbs 12:1-4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

If we want to encounter God, do we really need rituals and sacraments? Dr. Sri delves into the origins and purpose of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, explaining their Biblical basis and the incredible graces they confer.

It's Tuesday, July 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Ugandan Muslim terrorists massacre 40 Catholics with machetes Members of the Islamic Allied Democratic Forces, based in Western Uganda, struck the Congo town of Komanda on Sunday, killing almost 40 Catholic worshipers with machetes. This follows a similar massacre of 70 Protestant Christians in February in the city of Mayba, Congo.  522,000 Sudanese babies died of malnutrition Famine is on the rise across the world today, according to the World Food Program.  A total of 600,000 Sudanese face catastrophic hunger, and 8 million face emergency levels of hunger. The problem is four times worse in Sudan than it was last year. Since the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war in 2023, over 522,000 babies have died of malnutrition, as well as thousands of older children. That's according to the Committee of Sudanese Doctors.  This represents a sharp increase of deaths by famine — a metric that has averaged around 100,000 per year since the 1970s. Other nations facing emergency levels of hunger include Myanmar, South Sudan, Mali, and Haiti.   127 people starved to death in Gaza The World Food Program revealed about half a million people face catastrophic hunger in Gaza. Specifically, the AP reports that 127 people have starved to death in Gaza this year. From Psalm 146:5-9, we read, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.” Cambodian/Thai ceasefire It all started when Cambodian tourists visiting Thailand began singing the Cambodian national anthem back in February. Then, on May 28th of this year, Cambodian and Thai soldiers took a few pot shots at each other across the border.   One Cambodian soldier died. Tensions increased over the next month. During early July, several Thai soldiers were severely injured when stepping on Cambodian-placed landmines at the border.  That's what it took to ignite all-out war between the two countries, beginning on July 24th. At least 33 citizens and soldiers were killed in the conflict. This conflict, which became deadly, illustrates the biblical principle from 1 Corinthians 3:3. It says, “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” Thankfully, as of yesterday, the two nations have reached an agreement to an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire,” reports The Khmer Times. Japan's conservative political party rising in stature An anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner party called Sanseito has gained ascendance in Japan for the first time since World War II — moving from 1 to 15 seats in the nation's governing body. Other conservative type parties gained another 15 seats in the 248 seat upper house, for a total of a 12% gain. Trump to Russia: 12 days to reach ceasefire President Donald Trump is upping the ante with Russia. He gave Russian President Valdimir Putin 12 days to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine, or he will impose 100% tariffs on countries which purchase Russian exports. That would include China, India, Turkey, Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan. Democrats viewed extremely unfavorably The Democrats are now viewed extremely unfavorably here in America by the public.  A new Wall Street Journal poll revealed that 63% of voters look upon the party unfavorably. Only 33% view it favorably.  The American public appreciates the Republican views over the Democratic views on issues like immigration, inflation, and foreign policy. Americans are also most upset with the Trump administration over tariffs, healthcare, and the Ukraine war. 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases The latest Associated Press/National Opinion Research Center polling indicates that 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases, and 52% support abortion for any reason whatsoever. Hulk Hogan rededicated faith in Christ at baptism 18 months before death And finally, a pastor with Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida has publicly announced baptizing Hulk Hogan, whose given name was Terry Bollea, prior to the pro-wrestler's recent passing.  According to the New York Post, Hogan was baptized 18 months before his death on July 24, 2025. Hogan was asked about it on the Christian Broadcasting Network. REPORTER: “Public baptism. You have said: the greatest moment of your life.” HOGAN: “Yes, without a doubt.” REPORTER: “Terry, what did that mean for you?” HOGAN: “It broke down that fourth or fifth wall to tell people the truth about my Lord and Savior, and it set me free. I wasn't that perfect vessel that I should have been. Once I was baptized, I felt I was all new. It really was a major pivot in my life.” In December 2023, Hogan wrote that his baptism marked “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus.” Pastor Aaron Filippone included an extended eulogy for Hogan on an X post over the weekend. The pastor noted that Hogan had worshiped faithfully with his wife at the church over the past two years.. He said, “He didn't just talk about his faith—he lived it. He walked in grace, and he made sure everyone around him knew that grace was available for them too.” The pastor added: “Jesus offers hope, forgiveness, and eternal life to anyone who believes. We invite you to visit a local, Bible-believing church—just like Terry did.”   Hogan, referencing his actual first name of “Terry” in this portion of the CBN interview, talked about his desire to live a faithful life as a Christian. HOGAN:  “What Terry brings to the table is a meat suit, a meat suit, filled with the Spirit of Christ, and it's a testing ground for me. I accepted Christ as my Savior. I was 14, but I derailed. It wasn't my life. He has given me the opportunity to prove that I'm faithful and I'll never make those same mistakes again.” Indeed, Hogan had led a rocky life, marked by two unhappy divorces.   Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, July 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

She met with politicians, brothel workers and gay activists in the same room to work out how to save the men under her care in Ward 17 South.Clare was 21 years old when she entered the convent, against her mother's wishes, joining the Sisters of Charity novitiate to prepare for life as a nun.Clare had already completed her training as a nurse, and so she didn't want to join a contemplative order, closed off to the rest of the world.Clare wanted to take care of the sick and marginalised as a nurse, and as a nun, and so she became a 'walking sister'.Sister Clare quickly rose up the ranks, becoming the director of nursing at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, right as the HIV/AIDS epidemic reached Australia.Clare found herself in meetings with politicians, immunologists, brothel workers, gay activists and Catholics, working together to figure out how to save the hundreds of patients who came under her care in Ward 17 South - the first and only dedicated HIV/AIDS ward in the country.Further informationYou can learn more about the Sister's of Charity of Australia and St Vincent's Health Australia online.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.

Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I. served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000. In Today's Show: At the Resurrection, did Jesus raise himself or was he raised by God the Father? Is there such a thing as "confession of desire?" Should I be praying for 'all' Christians when praying for Catholics in the Middle East? Does "give us this day our daily bread" translate to "give us this day our supernatural bread?" ​Is there a similarity drawn between Mary being a tabernacle for Jesus and us receiving Communion?  Why does God test us with a lot of temptations? Should A.I tech be inserted into the bodies of the sick to help them maintain function? Does ordination remove sins? What is Fr. Elias' most cherished book from his library?

The signs are unmistakable – devalued currency, collapsing birthrates, cultural decay, and the fading remnants of once-Christian institutions. But what does this mean for faithful Catholics trying to navigate these turbulent times?Theo Howard of the Two Cities podcast joins us for a profound conversation about the coming collapse of Western civilization and the Catholic response. Rather than another doomer analysis, this discussion offers a roadmap for hope and renewal through what Howard calls "the Little Way of Christendom" – building parallel structures that can weather the storm while preserving authentic faith.We explore how the modern world isn't merely post-Christian but apostate – having received divine grace and deliberately rejected it – making our sins far more grievous than those of pre-Christian pagans. Howard compellingly argues that we're living through the Passion of the Church, a mysterious parallel to Christ's own suffering that will ultimately lead to resurrection.The conversation takes us through the failures of political solutions, including the false promise of electoral politics that functions as a "counterfeit liturgical calendar," distracting Catholics from living according to the Church's authentic rhythms. We examine how COVID served as a warning and test of faith, separating those willing to sacrifice for principle from those who surrendered for convenience.Most importantly, we discuss practical steps for building resilient Catholic communities – from agriculture to education to economic networks – that can function outside corrupted systems. This isn't about withdrawal but about creating the seeds of a renewed Christendom that will flourish after the inevitable chastisement runs its course.For anyone concerned about the future of faith and civilization, this conversation offers not just analysis but a genuinely Catholic path forward. Listen now and discover how small, faithful communities built on tradition can become the foundation for rebirth in a post-collapse world.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

“The two great commandments name the three loves – loving God, loving neighbor, and loving yourself. All three loves are necessary and central to our Faith.  All three.” - Dr. Peter Malinowski   Summary How can I learn to truly love my family?  The reality is that the degree to which you love yourself will be the maximum that you can love your family.  Ordered self-love is not an optional thing – it's essential.  This is especially true for spouses and parents because their love is tied intimately to the full flourishing of others, namely, their children!  We are made in God's image and likeness, which means that, like the Trinity, we are constantly in relationship with others and even with ourselves.  Learning to love ourselves directly affects how well we can love others.  Listen in for advice from Dr. Peter Malinowski, Catholic psychologist and teacher in the field of therapy using Internal Family Systems.  This podcast is essential to learn how to love your spouse and children well, by first learning to love yourself.     Key Takeaways We are made in the image and likeness of God, which means that like the Trinity, we have the capacity for relationship within ourselves. The primary human relationship that we have is with ourselves, then others.  90% of conflicts with your spouse are a reaction to unresolved issues from the past, not what is happening in the present.   The “innermost self” is the core of the person, who we really are.  Our “parts” are small personalities inside of us who battle within us.    Couple Discussion Questions How can you begin to see each other the way that God sees you?  Think about a conflict you had recently.  Ask your spouse, “Tell be about why you felt the way you did.” and be open to learning more.    Resources To find a therapist:  www.soulsandhearts.com/therapists Interior Integration for Catholics podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interior-integration-for-catholics/id1503898046 Epidode 157 to 159 for an overview of IFS To learn more: https://www.soulsandhearts.com/
