Questions Covered: 03:40 – Archbishop Fulton Sheen is remembered so fondly by so many people, but what might be forgotten is that he took the demonic very seriously. What, in general, was his view of the demonic and of our struggle against demons? 06:30 – His teaching on demons is closely connected to his teaching on the cross. What did he mean  when he described the devil's temptations of Christ in the desert as “shortcuts from the Cross.”, and where do we see those same shortcuts being offered today? 15:25 – Why does the modern world find belief in the devil embarrassing or primitive, and what do Catholics risk losing when they reduce evil to psychology, politics, or social conditions? 20:58 – Sheen believed that the Mass and Eucharistic adoration are powerful weapons in spiritual warfare. What is happening spiritually at the Mass, and why does the Eucharist provoke such particular hatred from the demonic? 24:11 – Sheen called the Cross “the greatest basis of unity in the world.” In an increasingly fractured society, how can the Cross unite people when it is also such a demanding and controversial sign? 32:45 – Sheen warned that souls may be lost not only through deliberate evil but through simple neglect. How does spiritual complacency—neglecting confession, Mass, prayer, or the fight against sin—give the devil room to operate? 36:20 – What is a Holy Hour? 43:35 – How did Sheen seen the cultural crisis of the sexual revolution? 50:12 – How did Sheen connect faith and reason?

Freedom is not about doing whatever you want. It is the moral power to do what you ought—and that changes everything about virtue, character, and how you love others. In this episode, Christina Semmens unpacks Fulton Sheen's vision of holiness in a conversation that moves from daily self-denial and responsibility to the deeper meaning of freedom as a grace-shaped capacity for good. If you have ever wondered why discipline, law, and moral clarity actually protect freedom instead of limiting it, this episode gives you a compelling answer.Christina shares how virtue forms character, why the law is not a cage but a safeguard, and how surrendering to the Lord builds the inner strength needed to choose the good even when it costs something. She also connects holiness to mission, pointing to Jesus with outstretched arms on the cross as the model for embracing others without abandoning truth.In this episode, you'll discover:Why Fulton Sheen describes freedom as a moral power, not a licenseHow self-denial becomes “daily bread” for a life ordered toward holinessWhy responsibility and virtue are essential to true human freedomHow love of God opens us to love others without losing our moral footingWhat 9/11 and national unity reveal about the danger of fear, division, and discouragementFinally, Christina reflects on the way fear can shape whole societies, how division takes root when we abandon moral clarity, and why the call to holiness is inseparable from the call to witness.If you need a reminder that real freedom is forged through virtue, dependence on God, and courage in the face of division, this is essential listening.Key topicsWhy Fulton Sheen's quotes are serving as “food for the head, heart, hands, and feet” ahead of his upcoming beatification.Freedom is not license — She emphasizes Sheen's point that freedom is the power to do what we ought, not just what we please.Virtue forms true character — She explains that moral power grows through grace, self-denial, and cooperation with the Lord.Law as protection, not restriction — She frames the law as a safeguard that keeps people on the right path rather than a burden that limits goodness.Responsibility matters — She underscores accountability for our deeds and the need to act for the good of all, not selfish ends.Holiness and mission belong together — She contrasts the way of sanctity with the way of mission, pointing to Jesus on the cross with arms outstretched as the model of universal love.Love requires moral clarity — Christina says encountering God opens us to others, but not at the cost of surrendering virtue or good character.Dependence on the Lord is essential — She argues that growth in love and capacity to serve others only happens through reliance on God.9/11 as an example of unity — She recalls how the nation came together after 9/11, setting aside differences after the 2000 election turmoil.Division has spiritual roots — She warns that deceit, discouragement, and division remain active forces in the world and names Satan, Lucifer, as the source of that influence.

Kate fills in for Frank this week, joining Dan for a conversation about neurodivergence, religious belief, and why some brains may process spiritual experiences differently than others. They compare religion to imagination, play, and believing in Santa, and wonder whether neurodivergent people may be less inclined to attach supernatural meaning to powerful emotional experiences. But first: A Texas evangelical takes matters into his own hands when the flag is lowered to honor Dolly Parton. Samaritan's Purse turns down $300 million from the Trump administration—and nobody seems quite sure why. Bethel Church racks up scandals, failed prophecies, and some remarkably durable forgiveness for badly behaved men. A Maine court rules that a father can restrict his daughter's exposure to a church whose teachings were causing her severe anxiety. Christian evangelists get kicked out of Burning Man and, naturally, call it persecution. Catholic televangelist Fulton Sheen is headed for beatification, complete with a miracle, a mysterious relic, and possibly a piece of the man himself.

Rudy Giuliani just told Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to skip this week's 9/11 memorials: “It offends me.” Watch this before Friday's ceremony and decide if America's mayor is out of line — or saying what the families have been saying for months. It is the 25th anniversary. More than 2,700 people were murdered in New York that morning. Giuliani was the mayor who walked the pile. The man in that office now says he will stand at Ground Zero anyway. Giuliani, former Gov. George Pataki, and a petition that has cleared 100,000 signatures are telling him to stay home. This is not a manners debate. Pataki named the problem: Anyone who will not distance himself from Hasan Piker — who said America deserved September 11 — should not be there. Anyone who has refused to reject “globalize the intifada,” which Pataki says is a call for violence against Jews anywhere in the world, should not be at that site. Giuliani went further. The ceremony, he said, is for the families and for America to remember historically. Having lost friends there, Mamdani's presence offends him. Pat also covered: Lindsay Clancy admitted she strangled her three kids — and a hung jury still couldn't call it murder College football is back, and BYU didn't ease in: 63-7 over Utah Tech James Talarico calls himself “a Christian who hates Christianity” — and he's running for Senate anyway A Muslim man shot two men outside a Tucson gay bar, left a list of gay businesses, and police called it a hate crime Fulton Sheen warned after Roe: When the guilt of abortion hits, America would be full of mentally disturbed women So Friday hangs on a simple question. Is Ground Zero a communal stage every official is entitled to — or a gravesite the families still get a say in? Should Mamdani skip the 9/11 ceremony?

What did Fulton Sheen teach about suffering, wounds, healing, and the Cross—and why does his message matter so much today?In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we sit down with Chantal Howard, author of the new book Show Me Your Scars: Fulton Sheen's Theology of Suffering for a Wounded World, to talk about Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's powerful understanding of suffering, redemptive suffering, and what God can do with the wounds we carry. Chantal helps us unpack why Sheen believed suffering does not have to be meaningless—and how our wounds can actually become places of grace, transformation, and deeper union with Jesus Christ. With Fulton Sheen's beatification approaching on September 24, 2026, his teachings are reaching a new generation of Catholics. This conversation explores not only Sheen's theology, but also his prayer life, his love for the Eucharist, his courage, and why his voice may be more relevant now than it has been in decades. Chantal and her husband, Dr. Peter Howard, are also behind the Fulton Sheen Movement, a worldwide effort dedicated to bringing Sheen's life, teachings, spirituality, and mission to a new generation.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen captivated millions with his preaching - but what was it that made his own spiritual life so extraordinary? In this episode of the Art of Catholic podcast, Matthew Leonard and Allan Smith explore Sheen's life, teaching, deep interior life, and the habits that helped form one of the most remarkable Catholic voices of the modern age.

Anxiety never comes from the Lord. So the second I feel that tightness show up in my chest, I already know something true about myself. I am thinking about my life in a way that God does not want me to think about it. Period. Because if I were thinking about it the way He wants me to, I would be at peace. This episode is one question I want you to start asking faster than you are asking it right now. Not "Lord, take this away," but "Lord, what do you want me to know about this?" About this toddler. About my husband. About my body. About this house. I asked Him something this morning and He said, "You already know. You just doubt what I have already told you." Ooh, burn, Lord. We talk about why we are not reaching for Him sooner (we do not actually believe we could be at peace all the time), the grace you have to ask for before He hands it to you, what Fulton Sheen was doing in basically every talk he ever gave, and why Daniel in the lions' den and Mary at the foot of the cross were both at peace. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: The micro moment prayer: the second you notice tightness, throw your hands up and say "Lord, I invite you into this. Come be with me right now." Why anxiety is information and not a verdict. It tells you your thinking is off, not that your life is off The real reason we do not run to Him faster: we have never met a person who is at peace all the time, so we quietly decided it is not available to us Eight out of ten minutes. You will lose it. The win is how fast you come back Feeling powerless is the worst feeling there is, and being able to stay calm in any situation is one of the most powerful You are not done when you hear the sentence. Your job is to practice it, or your brain will spiral right back in two hours The gifts of the Holy Spirit were designed to be asked for. Wisdom, counsel, knowledge, understanding, fortitude, fear of the Lord. Ask Being at peace does not mean being peaceful. It means receiving. It means "this is okay right now and I can handle it" The surprise pregnancy test, the teenager going through it, the adult child who left the Church. You can be at peace today, in that EPISODE TIMELINE: (estimated at 5-minute marks, no timestamps in the transcript, confirm against audio) [00:00] – Hope when you feel anxious, trapped, stuck or frozen, and inviting the Lord into the micro moment [05:00] – "Lord, what do you want me to know about this?" Why anxiety never comes from Him, and what Mary has to do with our unbelief [10:00] – Eight out of ten minutes, and why staying calm is the most powerful you will ever feel [15:00] – Cheeky Jesus, the sentences He actually gives me, and writing them down so I can practice them [20:00] – My real morning (I do not pray first thing), redirecting my brain, and asking for grace and the gifts of the Holy Spirit [25:00] – Fulton Sheen, the beatification, and why all his talks end the same way. At peace is not peaceful. Daniel, Mary, Joseph and the donkey [30:00] – Who I belong to, true freedom, and an invitation to the Catholic Mom Reset LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED: Join the Catholic Mom Reset: www.catholicmomcalm.com/reset Fulton Sheen beatification, plus the conference with Arthur Brooks the day before (Sterling will have a table, come say hi): www.fultonsheenconference.com/ CONNECT WITH STERLING JAQUITH: Website: https://catholicmomcalm.com Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catholicmomcalm

Alan Smith, a member of the advisory board for the cause of soon-to-be Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to continue exploring Sheen's reflections on the Holy Hour. Drawing from Lord, Teach Us to Pray and the writings of St. Peter Julian Eymard, Smith reflects on Sheen's meditation on the Eucharist as “the Need of Our Heart.” The discussion centers on three powerful themes: Christ's presence, His generosity, and our union with Him. The Eucharist is not merely a reminder of Jesus or a gift that He gives us—it is Jesus Himself, waiting for us in the tabernacle and offering us His merits, His grace, and ultimately His very self. Smith and the Son Rise Morning Show also explore how Eucharistic devotion transforms us into disciples: we become what we adore. Through time spent with Christ in Eucharistic prayer and Holy Hours, we are gradually drawn into deeper union with Him and formed to become more like Him.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A book so controversial the author half jokes he may have to “press publish” live just to see how long it survives. We're joined again by Father James Mawdsley to talk about Know Thy Enemy, the personal cost of writing it, and why certain questions Catholics were told to stop asking keep forcing their way back into view.We dig into how propaganda and education build the “frame” that decides what you're allowed to notice. That takes us from post war narratives and Vatican era assumptions to today's arguments about interfaith language, “Abrahamic” messaging, and what the Gospel actually says about spiritual fatherhood and spiritual adoption. Along the way, we connect the dots between ideas that sound religious and ideas that quietly replace religion.From there we get into the culture side: Teilhard de Chardin, Fulton Sheen, and the lure of progress talk that treats borders, traditions, and inherited identity as problems to be dissolved. We also discuss evolution in Catholic schools as a faith breaking domino, and why a purely political “universal brotherhood” cannot do the job of the New Covenant.The back half turns practical and personal: what to do when online accusations become a distraction campaign, how to stay charitable without going soft on truth, and why Father's advice on mental health is blunt. He argues that regular confession, prayer, and real community often do more than therapy culture and pharmaceuticals for people trying to rebuild a stable interior life.If you want more long form Catholic conversation on Vatican II debates, interfaith dialogue, propaganda, national sovereignty, Catholic anthropology, and confession as therapy, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showGet 10% off an amazing Black Monk Rosary by going to https://www.blackmonkrosaries.com/?ref=AVOIDINGBABYLON and using code AVOIDINGBABYLON at checkout!Check out our sponsor, Nic Nac, at www.nicnac.com and use code "AB25%" for 25% off of your first order!Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rss

A friend of forty years asked me over dinner what Fulton Sheen thought of Vatican II — and I could hear the worry underneath the question. Two thousand years of rough water, one shaky fisherman, and the question Jesus is still asking. "Who do YOU say that I am?"

August 20th, 2026 - Fulton Sheen announced in 1974 that he would write a book on the demonic — he never did. Fr. Dave Tomaszycki spent four years in Sheen's archives assembling the book Sheen intended: "On the Demonic." Plus: Nicholas Cavazos on Stephen Herreid's conversation with Tucker Carlson about CatholicVote and the Israeli settler attacks on Christians in the Holy Land.

"People love change. They just hate transition." I heard Matthew Kelly teach that years ago and I think about it every single August. Because right now I'm getting a hundred emails from the school, two of my boys walked out today in socks with giant holes in the heels, and there's a lunchbox in this house that will not zip. If your body is fritzing out over start dates and supply lists and shoe sizes, nothing has gone wrong. You're not in the change yet. You're in the transition, and I want to give you the exact words to say to your own brain while you're standing in the middle of it. Plus a summer update: our little red golden retriever, the sickness that took my husband down, walking in 87 degrees on purpose, 200 Fulton Sheen rosaries, and the press-on nails I just ordered off an internet ad. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: Why change and transition are two different things, and why the yucky feeling belongs to the transition and not to your decision What to tell your brain when it starts second-guessing (the feeling is bad, so the choice must be wrong) and why that's backwards Who you are in a transition is not who you're going to be, whether that's back-to-school or pregnancy or a move you didn't choose The two weeks plus two weeks rhythm I use: get ready, live it, evaluate at the end of the day, tweak, then settle into the change Giving equal air time, because your brain will spend all day on what could go wrong and about nine seconds on what you're excited about The folder-and-calendar hack that keeps the school email avalanche from hanging over you every hour of the day Looking for what was good in a hard season, even when the good thing is just the timing of it EPISODE TIMELINE: [00:00] – Mid-August, the nesting itch, and going from wild open summer to ordered fall [05:00] – Annie Avonlea, a sickness that hit everyone one at a time, and what was actually good about it [10:00] – Walking in the heat on purpose, France prep, and giving equal air time to the excitement [15:00] – Making Fulton Sheen rosaries, why moms need work that gets finished, and yes, the press-on nails [20:00] – "People love change. They just hate transition." The emails, the socks, the lunchbox that won't zip [25:00] – Talking to your brain in the transition, and the four weeks it actually takes to settle [30:00] – The email folder hack, and having peace today in the middle of all of it LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED: Join the Catholic Mom Reset: www.catholicmomcalm.com/reset Calm Catholic Kids: https://calmcatholickids.com Fulton Sheen beatification conference: https://fultonsheenconference.com/ CONNECT WITH STERLING JAQUITH ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/catholicmomcalm

In 1974, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen stated that he intended to write a book about the demonic. But such a book never came to fruition. Now, some fifty years later, Sheen's intended book has finally been compiled, all in his own words.' Fr. Dave Tomaszycki joins us.

Msgr. Jason Gray, executive director of the Fulton Sheen Foundation, talks about the Fulton Sheen Cause and new miracles attributed to him. Author Tom Lucia discusses his children's book on Fr. Nelson Baker entitled, Father Baker: A Friend to All.

How do you go about finding your purpose when life feels like a series of decisions made without a clear direction. That is the question I explored with Dr. Peter Howard, a theologian with a doctorate from the Angelicum in Rome and the mind behind the Fulton Sheen Institute, who has spent thirty years building his entire life around a single retreat that changed everything for him. Peter shares the remarkable story of Fulton Sheen tearing up a life changing opportunity because his spiritual director told him God had something else in mind, and what that moment teaches us about trusting God even when the path forward looks uncertain. We also get into how he and his wife Chantal are raising seven kids to seek their own calling instead of rushing into the wrong one, why he believes we are living through what Sheen called the final battle of an era, and the daily discipline that has held his family together through their hardest seasons. If you have ever felt lost about what you are meant to do with your life, I think this conversation will give you a lot to sit with. I would love to hear what stands out to you in the comments, and if this episode speaks to you, please subscribe and share it with someone who needs to hear it. Peter earned his doctorate in theology at the Angelicum, the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome, and has spent the last three decades of his life devoted to the legacy of the soon to be beatified Archbishop Fulton Sheen. He is married to Chantal Howard, who I spoke with in a previous episode, and together they are raising seven children while homeschooling and running a household built around discernment and faith. This conversation is really about finding your purpose, and Peter brings both a theologian's depth and a father's practical wisdom to that question. He tells the story of Fulton Sheen as a young seminarian holding a life changing scholarship letter in his hand, and how one conversation with his spiritual director asking him to trust God completely changed the trajectory of his entire life. We talk about discerning your calling not as a single dramatic moment but as an ongoing posture of trust, and Peter shares how he and Chantal have tried to raise their own kids to genuinely seek God's will for their life rather than default into whatever path looks safest or most expected, including their daughter's decision to take a gap year to figure out her own direction. We also get into some bigger cultural territory, including why Peter believes artificial intelligence represents a kind of counterfeit to what it means to be made in the image of God, and how that ties into what Fulton Sheen called the final battle of an era. Peter opens up about the daily holy hour of prayer that has anchored his marriage and family through genuinely hard seasons, describing it as one discipline that has made the biggest difference in living with purpose day to day. Whether you are in a season of feeling completely lost or just want to hear the story behind Fulton Sheen's own path to the priesthood, I think this conversation offers real clarity on knowing God's will for your life.

We're joined by Bethany Kline, founder of 365 Catholic Singles Community with dating advice: living with purpose instead of waiting for marriage. Allan Smith, Founder and Director of Bishop Sheen Today, will talk about Fulton Sheen's beatification preparations. Shaun McAfee will talk about his new release from TAN Books entitled Compendium of Eucharistic Miracles: An Encyclopedia of Miraculous Events Confirming the Real Presence.

How do you suffer well when the pain never seems to end. That is the question I sat with in this conversation with Chantal Howard, founder of a Catholic finishing school for young women and author of Show Me Your Scars, a book built on Fulton Sheen's theology of suffering. Chantal has spent years forming young women in identity and character, and she has walked through her own deep seasons of suffering too, from a hard chapter with her daughter to twenty four years of a marriage she calls both painful and victorious. We talk about what Fulton Sheen taught her about turning wounds into scars, why suffering might be the very thing that opens our hearts to love others well, and how I found my own peace in the middle of a health scare that changed how I see everything. If you have ever wondered whether your suffering has a purpose, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments, and if this one speaks to you, please subscribe and share it with someone who needs it today. Chantal is a mother of seven, an entrepreneur, and the founder of a Catholic finishing school that helps young women between the ages of fourteen and nineteen discover who they are through the lens of their faith. Her husband Peter has spent more than twenty years championing the life and legacy of Fulton Sheen, and that work is reaching a beautiful milestone with his upcoming beatification. Chantal's new book, released as a tandem series, Show Me Your Scars and The Fellowship of the Scars, gathers twenty testimonies from people who have walked through real suffering, including her own, and found that suffering and grace are not opposites but companions. In this conversation we get into the purpose of suffering from a Catholic perspective, and why Fulton Sheen believed that suffering, offered well, becomes our way to happiness rather than something to simply survive. Chantal shares how her own marriage, now twenty four years in, has been both one of her greatest sources of pain and one of her proudest testimonies of grace, and how she and her husband learned to see their hardest seasons as scars rather than open wounds. We also talk about a devastating loss her family walked through when her daughter was pregnant, and how they found their footing again through prayer and community. I share my own story of receiving a frightening health prognosis and how watching my son's love for me in that moment changed the way I saw my whole life. Chantal and I talk honestly about finding peace in pain, about what it looks like to build a genuine prayer life in the middle of busyness and distraction, and about raising daughters who know their worth in a culture that constantly tells them otherwise. We also touch on her Catholic finishing school, her work forming women of all ages through a related program, and the upcoming beatification conference where survivors and witnesses of Fulton Sheen's influence will gather to share how his teaching helped them heal through suffering. If you are in a season where the suffering does not seem to be ending, I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone in it, and that there is real purpose waiting on the other side.

What if the thing standing between you and a real prayer life isn't discipline, it's the fact that nobody ever made it simple? Allan Smith, author of The Soul of a Disciple: Fulton Sheen's Meditations on the Cross, the Eucharist, and the Christian Life, joins Florencia for a conversation about Fulton Sheen, the Holy Face, and the very small habits that shape a soul. Allan spent years as a plumber before becoming one of the most published voices on Sheen in the world, and he brings the same practicality to prayer: baby steps work. One page. One scripture line. One honest "I'm here."In this episode:The Holy Face devotion the saints could not stop practicing, and the 1849 Vatican miracle behind the images you've seenA realistic framework for prayer when you work full time or have small childrenThe five-retreat path Allan believes Fulton Sheen would give us todayWhat to do when you've prayed a holy hour before and can't anymore: how to release the shame and start where you actually areThe rule that changed Florencia's prayer in collegeCONNECT ALLAN:Buy the BookGet tickets to the BeatificationCelebrate SheenBishop Sheen TodayCONNECT WITH FLORENCIA:Ready to Go All-In On Your Glow Up? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply to The Made Good Method and Work With Our Team⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a text by clicking this link!A saint's cause gets cleared for the finish line, then suddenly stalls for years. What happened, who pushed back, and why did it revolve around something as physical as Fulton Sheen's remains? We walk through the full timeline with Dr. Peter Howard, who has spent decades studying Sheen's life, writings, and prophetic edge, and who helped rally a grassroots movement to push for clarity and progress.We talk about the New York vs Peoria clash, the court case led by Sheen's niece, and the quiet urgency of moving a body once the courts ruled. Then we get into the official “caution” explanation that kept coming up: the looming New York attorney general report on clergy abuse handling. Howard shares why he believes Rome never had a theological or canonical problem with Sheen's cause, and how institutional fear and American church politics combined into an indefinite postponement that left the faithful confused and frustrated.From there the conversation opens up into the bigger questions people bring to Sheen: his “anti-church” warning, his apocalyptic language as an “unveiling,” and the sense that our era is accelerating into spiritual conflict. We connect Sheen's insights to Marian themes, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima, and we wrestle with modern pressures like propaganda, ideological capture, gender ideology, and the rush toward AI and transhumanism. It's a Catholic Church conversation that stays anchored in history, theology, and the practical need for hope.We also share details for the Fulton Sheen beatification conference and pilgrimage, built to help Catholics understand why Sheen matters now and how “America's saint” could shape a uniquely Catholic culture in the United States.
