    Sacramentals are sacred signs that resemble the sacraments. Blessings of people, places, and objects are foremost among the various sacramentals found in the life of the Church. Among these blessings are those of exorcism, in both its simple and solemn form. Fr. Mike notes that sacramentals and the many forms of popular piety, such as the Rosary, are noble expressions of faith that prepare us to participate in the Liturgy but can never replace the Liturgy. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1667-1679.

    This summary of the Catechism's teaching on the sacrament of Matrimony pulls together several beautiful themes regarding marriage and family. Fr. Mike emphasizes the family as the Domestic Church, that community where parents and children grow in charity, forgiveness, prayer, and self-giving. We're reminded that the communion of love shared by husband and wife in marriage is a sacramental sign of the union between Christ and his Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1659 through 1666.

    “Children are the supreme gift of marriage,” says Vatican II. Marriage is directed by its very nature toward the procreation of children. Beyond this, parents are the primary educators of their children, responsible for their holistic formation. Sadly, many couples suffer from infertility. Even in their struggle, they can provide a powerful witness of love, sacrifice, and fidelity. In all this and more, we see the family as the Domestic Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1652-1658.

    Liz Ann Sonders and Collin Martin begin this episode by analyzing the powerful role earnings are playing in driving the U.S. stock market higher and what that means for investors. Liz Ann highlights that S&P 500 earnings growth is tracking around 51% for the second quarter, an unusually strong pace outside of a post-recession recovery. Collin explains why Schwab expects a "higher-for-longer" rate environment, with short- and longer-term Treasury yields likely remaining elevated as the economy stays resilient and inflation remains above the Fed's target. Then Collin sits down with former Federal Reserve Vice Chair Dr. Richard Clarida. They discuss how the Fed thinks about inflation, labor markets, supply shocks, productivity, and AI. Clarida argues that policymakers are trying to determine whether today's inflation pressures are temporary or indicative of a higher underlying trend. He also discusses the transition to new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, potential changes to Fed communications, and why AI could be inflationary in the near term but ultimately disinflationary through improved productivity over the next several years.

    Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans — and this week he and host Pete Jansons open the Brain Bar with a claim that sounds impossible: your brain is lying to you about time itself. In the experiments Jay walks through, a person's body reacts emotionally to an image seconds BEFORE a random generator has even chosen which image they'll see. From there the panel takes your live questions across the map: the anxiety medications that quietly dig a two-year hole, kids told to remove part of their brain for epilepsy who turned it around another way, what autism, ADHD and addiction secretly share on an EEG, and how your alpha rhythm changes across your whole life.

We discuss how psychiatry developed under capitalism, the link between economic value and mental illness, the sociocultural context of psychiatry, and the madness of business enterprise. We discuss an economic style of psychiatric reasoning as a hermeneutic strategy for self-intelligibility, psychiatric diagnoses as interpretations, and when immoral behaviors are labelled as illnesses.

    Is the end of privacy inevitable? Is programmable money inevitable? Is it inevitable that artificial intelligence will eliminate most of the world's white-collar jobs?Oxford professor Carissa Véliz argues that such claims are a red flag.She's the author of the new book “Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future.”Someone who says a future is inevitable is trying to get you to do something and benefit from your belief, she argues.She is convinced that such self‑fulfilling prophecies only work if we believe them and she urges people to defy these narratives by asking: Who is predicting this future? Who benefits? What data supports it—and what missing data might contradict it?Véliz is a philosopher and author who specializes in privacy and the ethics of artificial intelligence. She is an associate professor of philosophy at the Institute for Ethics in AI and a Fellow at Hertford College at the University of Oxford.Prediction, Véliz explains, is a business model: diagnose a problem, promise that more data will solve it, then sell tools to analyze the huge datasets institutions don't know how to use.Throughout history, rulers have attached themselves to prophets. Today, that role is played by immensely rich and powerful tech executives who advise governments and control key infrastructure and access to citizens via social media.In our interview, we discuss how surveillance and behavioral prediction undermine and erode an open society where people should have the freedom to speak, protest, and be anonymous.Other questions we discuss: Do “digital natives” like Gen Z and Gen Alpha—who have never experienced a true non-digital world—even understand the role of privacy? And what are the best antidotes to the harms of digital life?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Cultural reformation begins with worship, repentance, discipleship, and obedience—and grows through ordinary faithfulness in families, churches, schools, workplaces, and communities. The calling is not to change everything tomorrow, but to reject withdrawal and despair, bring every area of life under Christ’s reign, and build faithfully for generations to come.

    As the climate crisis ravages the planet with wildfires, droughts and floods, the wealthy are using private jets, which spew carbon into the atmosphere, more and more frequently. Not only does this exacerbate the climate crisis, but it is putting a strain on air travel infrastructure. Through a powerful private jet lobby, the cost of private air travel has been shifted to those who use commercial airlines and taxpayers. Chuck Collins of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, which recently launched its Tax Private Jet campaign, speaks with Clearing the FOG about the many reasons why we need to curtail private jet use and the growing movement to do that.

Cultural reformation begins with worship, repentance, discipleship, and obedience—and grows through ordinary faithfulness in families, churches, schools, workplaces, and communities. The calling is not to change everything tomorrow, but to reject withdrawal and despair, bring every area of life under Christ’s reign, and build faithfully for generations to come.

    What can a bird's nest, a set of porcelain ice cream vases, and a portrait of Confucius tell us about the early American republic? In this episode, host Dr. Katie Crawford-Lackey sits down with Dr. Lisa Goff, Associate Professor of English and American Studies at the University of Virginia and former director of its Institute for Public History, to explore how historians read objects as evidence.Lisa walks us through the furnishings, art, and tableware inside James and Dolly Madison's Montpelier home — from European landscape paintings and portraits of foreign rulers to Dolly's elaborate porcelain ice cream service — and what they reveal about the Madisons' global ambitions, Dolly's political skill as a hostess, and the enslaved labor that made it all possible. We talk about the dining room as a stage for both diplomacy and denial, the archaeology behind the mansion's restoration, and the objects enslaved individuals at Montpelier owned and chose for themselves. Lisa also previews her forthcoming book, Stories in the Soil: Recovering Black and White Histories at James Madison's Montpelier, out this April.

    Can a Catholic marry a baptized non-Catholic or a non-baptized person? Fr. Mike breaks down the Church's teaching on mixed marriages and disparity of cult. The Catechism teaches us that while a difference in religion “does not constitute an insurmountable obstacle for marriage,” it can often be a source of tension in marriage and present significant challenges when raising a family. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1625-1632.

    In this episode, we are discussing one of the most rapidly evolving areas in acute stroke care, mechanical thrombectomy for medium vessel occlusions, or MEVO. While thrombectomy is well established for large vessel occlusions, whether patients with smaller, more distal occlusions benefit has remained an important unanswered question. In the recent years, several landmark trials have evaluated endovascular treatment for MEVO with differing results, some suggesting benefits while others suggesting no benefit. Together, these studies have shifted the conversation from whether thrombectomy should be performed to which patients are most likely to benefit. To discuss how these findings are reshaping clinical practice and the future of thrombectomy stroke trials, we spoke with Dr. Mayank Goyal, professor of radiology and clinical neurosciences at the University of Calgary. He was interviewed by Dr. Omar Al-Janabi, a stroke neurologist at Baptist Health.    Disclosures: Dr. Goyal discloses consulting fees from Medtronic, Penumbra, Jacob's Institute, Silvercreek Pharma, Microvention, and grant funding from Medtronic and Cerenovus

    The modern experience of China is often viewed through a western lens, but its complex history and relationship with the Arab world reveal a much deeper story. Dr. Mohammed Alsudairi challenges the dominant narrative of a growing security footprint and intense US-China competition over the Middle East. Instead, the conversation explores the evolving diplomatic recognition, transactional dynamics, and economic connections that define Sino-Middle Eastern relations. This discussion unpacks why the Chinese experience is often neglected in the Arab intellectual tradition and how the modalities of empire are shifting in the 21st century.   00:00 Introduction 04:33 Escaping the Post 9/11 Paradigm Shift 07:23 Alternative Journeys & Transformative Intellectual Paths 14:22 Dismantling Dominant Narratives on Regional Footprints 17:13 Contextualizing China's Strategic Priorities 26:41 Historical Dimensions & Evolving Diplomatic Ties 34:34 Financial Synergy, Alternatives & Global concessions 37:48 Deconstructing Frameworks & the Myth of the Silk Road 44:40 Projecting Arab Anxieties onto a Cultural Other 52:52 Technological Realities & the Changing Modalities of Power   Mohammed Alsudairi is a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations of the Arabic Speaking World at the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies, Australian National University.

    What does health care truly need now, and who is already showing us the way forward? The newest season of Turn On The Lights centers on one defining question: What does health care need now? Host Philip McAdoo speaks with experts and changemakers about workforce well-being, public health, HIV prevention, aging, technology, AI, cybersecurity, patient advocacy, and health equity. Rather than focusing solely on problems, each conversation highlights practical strategies, innovative thinking, and the leaders driving meaningful improvement across the health care system. Together, these stories reinforce that better care begins with trust, safety, dignity, and a willingness to listen. If you're passionate about improving health care through leadership, innovation, equity, and human-centered care, this season offers inspiring conversations you won't want to miss.

Things You'll Learn: Health care improvement starts with supporting the workforce caring for patients every day. Equity requires addressing the communities that continue to be left behind. Public health lessons from HIV remain highly relevant today. Person-centered care should be designed around what matters most to patients. Technology should strengthen trust, not simply automate processes. AI, cybersecurity, and digital transformation require strong leadership and governance. Patient advocacy remains essential for reducing disparities. Meaningful improvement begins by listening to patients, caregivers, and communities.

    On November 24, 1963, Jack Ruby stepped out of the shadows of a crowded Dallas police basement and shot Lee Harvey Oswald live on national television, silencing the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy forever. In a single moment, Ruby opened a canyon of doubt and conspiracy that has never closed, cementing himself as one of the most mysterious and controversial figures in modern history. To the public, he was a Dallas strip club owner and midnight hustler, a man of wild and irreconcilable contradictions who could beat a patron into the concrete  one moment, and weep over a sad news story, buy groceries for a struggling mother, or cook tender lamb chops for his beloved dogs the next. But who was the man beneath the dark fedora? In this first episode of our deep-dive series, we takes a wander back to the core of the JFK story to understand the volatile behavior of this highly complex individual by looking past the neon lights of the Carousel Club and rewinding the tape to where it all began.To trace the roots of Ruby's explosive violence, we travel back to March 25, 1911, and the crowded, impoverished immigrant streets of Chicago's West Side. Born Jacob Rubenstein, he was the fifth of eight living children born to Joseph and Fanny Rubenstein, Polish Jewish immigrants who had fled the violent, repressive rule of Tsarist Russia. Growing up in what his own family described as a below-middle-class ghetto on Morgan Street, Jacob's world was defined by coal smoke, ethnic street fights, and extreme domestic trauma. The Rubenstein home was a toxic pressure cooker of parental strife and heavy violence, driven by his father's severe alcoholism and explosive rages, leading to constant police interventions and an eventual family disintegration when Jacob was just ten years old.As his family collapsed, Jacob watched his mother, Fanny, descend into severe, tragic mental illness. Plagued by a bizarre, lifelong delusion that a sharp fishbone was permanently lodged in her throat, she spent years dragging her children to clinics, eventually slipping into intense paranoia and being committed to Elgin State Hospital in 1937. Left to run wild, Jacob dropped out of school by the eighth grade to become a street hustler, earning the lifelong nickname "Sparky"—a name born of his awkward walk or lightning-fast temper, which he so thoroughly despised that he would instantly attack anyone who dared say it to his face. Despite the childhood neglect, Jacob remained deeply devoted to his mother, internalizing her frantic anxieties and intense volatility in ways that would profoundly shape his adult life.By age eleven, Jacob's truancy and incorrigible behavior at home led to an evaluation by the Institute for Juvenile Research. The resulting 1922 psychiatric report is a chillingly prophetic document, describing an egocentric, quick-tempered, and highly erratic child desperate for attention he could never receive at home. Declared a dependent ward of the state, Jacob was torn from his siblings and isolated in foster homes, fostering a desperate need to "be a somebody" that would follow him all the way to the Carousel Club. Decades later, both the Warren Commission and his defense attorney, Melvin Belli, would weaponize this traumatic past—with Belli claiming that in Ruby's highly emotional, shattered mind, shooting Oswald was a bizarre attempt to protect a grieving Jacqueline Kennedy, substituting the First Lady for the broken mother he could never save in Chicago. Join us as we begin this miniseries, uncovering how the scars of Chicago's streets paved the way for the fateful basement in Dallas.

    Together, with Fr. Mike, we reach the conclusion and “nugget day” for the section on the sacrament of Holy Orders. Fr. Mike reiterates that all three degrees of the sacrament are a longed for element of the “priestly people.” They are those called to go before God and before his people as a mediator. Fr. Mike also explains that for those who are not called to either “sacrament of service”, Holy Orders or Matrimony, we are all called “to be able to rejoice with those who have received gifts.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1590-1600.
