The sermon you are about to hear comes from Saint John Chrysostom, one of the great Fathers of the Church and a preacher renowned for his clarity, courage, and pastoral realism. Speaking on marriage and family life, he draws directly from Saint Paul's Letter to the Ephesians to present a vision that is demanding, countercultural, and deeply humane. Chrysostom does not offer sentimentality or abstraction. He speaks about husbands and wives as they truly are, with their weaknesses, fears, sacrifices, and daily struggles, and he places all of it under the model of Christ and His Church. In an age that often misunderstands authority, love, freedom, and sacrifice, his words remain strikingly fresh. What you will hear is not a theory of marriage, but a call to holiness lived out in ordinary life, where love is proved through patience, self-giving, and fidelity to God.

Mother Miriam delivers a powerful warning about the spiritual danger of silence in the Catholic Church, especially from bishops who privately recognize error but refuse to speak publicly. She argues that modern calls for “unity” have become detached from truth, forming a counterfeit harmony rooted in fear, not faith. From women's ordination to Latin Mass suppression, she frames today's controversies as symptoms of deeper doctrinal erosion. Drawing from Scripture, tradition, and saints, she insists that fidelity requires courage, and that Peter's words still stand: “We must obey God rather than men.” Her message is a call to prepare for suffering, to cling to truth, and to remain faithful even if the Church must go underground.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

When God created Adam and Eve, he also created the family by uniting them in marriage. When Our Lord came down from heaven, He did so in the context of the family, specifically the Holy Family consisting of Himself along with St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is easy to conceive that it was within the Holy Family that Christ learned the practice of prayer. The Gospel of St. Luke testifies to the fact that, as a family, they visited the Temple to pray. And so we, too, can use the prayer life of the Holy Family as a model for how we ought to pray united as a family.

How did “the spirit of Vatican II” turn into perpetual uncertainty? And why are everyday Catholics still getting side-eyed for kneeling at communion? We open the hood on a consistory that could reset expectations, sift Barron's argument for what it gets right and wrong, and get painfully practical about reverence, freedom, and pastoral authority.Along the way, we share a happier twist: a priest reached out and offered to accompany our Italy trip, making daily Latin Mass not only possible but likely across private chapels in Rome and beyond. That momentum matters. People don't want liturgical roulette; they want beauty, clarity, and worship that deepens faith. The pastoral playbook that treats piety as a problem is wearing thin, and that comes into sharp focus with a diocese banning portable kneelers for the elderly and Jonathan Roumie describing how he was told to stand when he tried to receive on his knees. Reverence isn't performance; it's love braving friction.We don't dodge the tough map either. Under Francis, a common foe united disparate trad corners. Under Leo, the tone is calmer, but the doctrinal direction still worries many. Could a non-territorial jurisdiction—an ordinariate-style solution with bishops from traditional communities—offer stability without schism? Maybe. Or maybe it risks a new ghetto unless leaders honor what's already law: the right to kneel, the right to receive on the tongue, and the call to worship God with proper solemnity. We're watching the consistory, reading the dubia, and building something constructive: a pilgrimage ordered to daily prayer and the Eucharist.If this conversation hits home, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about liturgy and clarity, and leave a quick review.

The blessed and holy name of Jesus is the one that God has chosen for Himself. While in the Old Testament God's name was forbidden to be spoken, with the coming of Christ, God provides His people a name to speak aloud in prayer for their salvation. Jesus's name is Who He is: Savior. However, even with this great gift, we are forced to ask ourselves, "Do we really want to be saved?" For out of our pridefulness and misplaced desire for self-reliance, we want to earn salvation on our own merits without the divine assistance of Our Lord.

In the Acts of the Apostles, we have the example of Ss. Peter and John putting Christ first by going to the Temple to pray. When they encounter a lame beggar, this poor man is healed through Jesus's name. For the Apostles know that through the Holy Name of Jesus, everyone, even those who have fallen away from God spiritually, may be saved.

It is an immemorial custom to make resolutions at the start of a new year. Yet, rarely are these resolutions kept. Far too often we make broad resolutions that are impossible to keep. The better course is to particularize our resolutions, focusing on specific faults, and hoping, by the grace of God, we can overcome them.

Patrick questions what happens to meaning, purpose, and the human soul when AI and robotics perform nearly every task faster and better than people. He blends concerns over skills lost and spiritual emptiness with a Catholic perspective, weaving together listener calls about technology, and the enduring search for fulfillment as machines reshape daily life. Unexpected juxtapositions of futuristic dread and faith-driven hope spark reflection on what actually grounds humanity.

Material riches are not the key to happiness. This is a lesson repeated through both Scripture and popular culture, yet most struggle to accept it. Our Lord came to us in poverty. Although our respective stations in life may call upon us to have material resources, we must not abandon the call to have poverty of spirit, that is, detachment from material goods.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A neighborhood teen walks into a midnight Latin Mass and steps straight into a world of chant, candlelight, and awe. That single moment sets the tone for a wide-ranging conversation about faith that's lived, not branded—how ordinary Catholic family life can quietly evangelize a restless culture craving stability, fatherhood, and hope.We trade UK and US vantage points and compare media narratives with street-level reality. Are things truly burning, or are we binging on spectacle? We tackle the perennial “war on Christmas,” the corporate habit of sanitizing holy days, and the rise of a substitute liturgical calendar that tries to replace the Incarnation with new rituals and new saints. The throughline is clear: without a supernatural core, culture-building becomes cosplay. Tradition isn't window dressing; it's the scaffolding that carries meaning from one generation to the next.We don't stop at headlines. Mark shares the searing loss of his daughter, the decade of ache that followed, and the surprising graces that kept him moving—community, providence, and a daughter named Mary who arrived like a gift from heaven. Katherine speaks with candor about costly choices, how personal relief often shifts pain onto children, and why love sometimes means carrying the cross instead of outsourcing it. Along the way, we reflect on fatherhood statistics, Protestant critiques of Christmas, and the difference between wielding Christianity as a tool and receiving it as life.If you've ever wondered whether small fidelities matter—family meals, icons on the wall, prayer before bed, Sunday Mass—this conversation says yes.

The mystery of Christmas reveals the great goodness of God. To appreciate this gift, we must reflect on our own rebelliousness, stubbornness, and pride. This is why it was necessary for Our Lord to go to the extraordinary length to provide the unfathomable gift of His Incarnation for the sole purpose of saving us. God chose not to break us down through His strength, but rather lowered Himself to become one of us to lead humanity from darkness to light.

Let us rejoice in the birth of Our Lord. Let us rejoice in this incredible miracle that has freed us from the bondage of sin. He has arrived to overcome the curse of sin. He stands victorious over satan out of His great love for us, His creation. He stands triumphant, renouncing the deeds of the flesh, ushering us into God's kingdom by His miraculous Incarnation.

Holy Mother Church gives us an entire season to prepare for the reception of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It is easy for us to reproach ourselves that we did not spend this season preparing ourselves adequately for such a wonderful gift. However, when we look to the Blessed Virgin, we are given an exquisite model of the proper disposition we ought to take. She demonstrates the humility, openness, and abandonment to Divine Providence that we are all called to accept.

The love we feel for one another as demonstrated in the love of Hilaire Belloc for his wife is minute compared for the love Our Lord Jesus Christ has for us. Our Lord came across time, willing to submit Himself as a child, in order to save us. There is no greater love.

Today, the second part of the interview that we did back in late 2019 with Fr. Patrick Summers, the District Superior of Asia. This is a continuation of the interview we re-released last week, so if you haven't heard that yet, just go back one episode in your podcast player or here on YouTube – but today, we'll continue our discussion by diving a bit more into the SSPX apostolate in Japan.

Even from prison, St. Paul insists on throwing off anxiety and remaining in the peace of Jesus Christ. This should provide us with an opportunity to reflect on what in life denies us peace. Surely, sin is the great disrupter of peace and sin is the direct result of the disorders present in our lives. Anxiety, too, robs us of peace. To overcome this anxiety, we must both look at all things with the eyes of faith and mortify our thoughts.

The blindness of the Pharisee's as to the identity of the true Messiah was not limited to the time of His baptism, but lasted throughout the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, it has continued through the life of the Church. Just like the people who lived in Christ's lifetime, people down through the ages up until today fail to recognize Our Lord in their midst. Rather than submit themselves to God, they cling to their conception of who the Messiah should be and thereby reject the only true one.

It is common for us to treat venial sin as not serious. Yet every sin imperils our salvation. When we choose sinful acts, we abandon our end. This is why we must be vigilant to be careful in every act we do. There are no "small" sins if we are serious about our salvation. Sadly, there is a temptation to overlook these sins as irrelevant without remembering that every transgression offends Our Lord.

Today, a re-release of an interview we did back in late 2019 with Fr. Patrick Summers, the District Superior of Asia.  We discussed the apostolate in Asia and the work the Society is doing to bring not just Tradition, but Catholicism as a whole, as well as food, medicine, education, and some of the most basic human necessities to more remote areas.  You'll hear how the District of Asia is not only vast, but filled with challenges that most of us in the Americas or Europe wouldn't begin to comprehend.

The Church's doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of our Lady is a pinnacle of the liturgical year. By God's grace she was preserved from the stain of original sin. Her preservation from original sin is a sign of how God set her apart from all of humanity. She had a singular role in salvation history that was foreordained by God to be the vessel that housed Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

“Is there an obligation to kneel during the consecration?” This question opens a discussion on liturgical practices, alongside inquiries about whether individuals should approach for a blessing if not receiving communion, and the role of the sign of peace in the Novus Ordo.

We know of the fall of man and the downfall of the human race. When we reflect on evolution, we might think that we begin at a low level and then developed into better people. But we did not. The tragedy of humanity is our God given capacity to achieve goodness, but without Christ there is no way to achieve it.

"If validity is all that mattered, the Church wouldn't bother with all these other instructions, and it certainly wouldn't have rewritten the liturgy at a massive cost to unity, tradition, and pastoral peace." Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/ Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/support The idea that the Latin Mass and Novus Ordo are "equal" simply because both are valid collapses liturgy into its bare minimum. The Church repeatedly teaches that validity is only the floor, not the measure of excellence. If validity were all that mattered, the Church would never have issued extensive liturgical norms, nor undertaken the most disruptive liturgical reform in its history. Honest evaluation is therefore not judgmentalism but necessary for genuine reform and unity. Music written and generously provided by Paul Jernberg.

Our Lady's sanctity is highlighted in the feast of the Immaculate Conception. This feast underlines the fact that Our Lady is full of grace. In our own lives, we are given a choice whether to live by nature alone or to be open to God's grace. To accomplish this, we should strive to prepare ourselves for every sacred act we wish to perform or that God will ask of us based on our station in life. We must be ready for it if we wish to receive our Lord's grace.

Today on Questions with Father, we explore one of the most delicate and often misunderstood topics in Catholic theology: the necessity of Baptism and the mystery of Limbo. Fr. Ian Andrew Palko joins us to explain what the Church teaches about the fate of unbaptized infants, the difference between Baptism of desire and sacramental Baptism, and when Baptism must be administered conditionally. What happens to miscarried or stillborn children? Can we hope for their salvation? And what limits does the Church set on that hope? This episode offers clarity, charity, and a deeper appreciation for God's mercy and the urgency of Baptism.

At the end of time, Our Lord will come as a just judge, dispensing publicly and privately the punishment or rewards to each as is due. How we respond to this Second Coming of Christ is reflected in how we respond now to his first coming in the Incarnation. It is at this time that we are called to submit to Our Lord Jesus Christ. For if we do not submit to him now, during this season of Advent, surely we will not submit when He comes again in glory.

We must orient ourselves properly at the opening of Advent. It is a time of preparation for the coming of Christ in our souls and so we must take special care of our spiritual lives. The spiritual life does not happen by accident. This is why we must recall that this period preparation is needful for it disposes us toward the special graces He offers us.

Patrick answers listener questions about faith, technology, and family tug-of-wars. One moment the topic swerves toward guarding minds in a screen-filled world, the next it flips to heartfelt strategies for sharing Catholicism or sorting out disagreements about baptizing grandchildren. Andrea (email) – Do you have a book recommendation for someone on a starter level to become Catholic? (04:24) Theresa - Do PsyOps that you are talking about have any parallels to subliminal messages? (08:40) Patrick in Trenton NJ - I have been using Chat GPT to evangelize and it has been working out. AI helps me to organize my mind and streamlines my thought process. (22:55) Laurie - I wanted to add that we all have a story with God and rarely does it help to say I followed rules and that made me feel better. I think she should share how God has personally had an impact on her and where she felt God's love. (25:22) Daniel - Why has Latin Mass been restricted? Will the Pope reverse the restrictions? (28:37) Memo - As a grandparent, can I baptize my Protestant grandchild. My son doesn't want to baptize him. Would it be valid if I did that? (42:01)

Vigilance, that is, being mindful always of Our Lord can give us a certain special blessings and happiness. When the end times come, it will be too late to become mindful and virtuous. This is why St. Paul is adamant that we must turn our minds to the Lord immediately, never missing an opportunity to grow nearer to Him.

Check out this awesome Encore show from October 21, 2025 Fr. Robert Ryan joins Patrick to discuss Vatican II (2:52) what is an ecumenical council? (5:48) What caused Vatican II to assimilate? (21:20) Break 1 Robert - Why the change from the Latin Mass? Wondering why that's not very alive anymore. (28:57) what are the major documents of the Second Vatican Council? (32:16) Chris - I know in the past supersessions is the main teaching and then 2nd Vatican council condemned it. With everything going on now, I figured it would be a good thing to clear up. (38:52) Break 2 Greg - Lumen Gentium...chapter 16 where it talks about salvation. Just wanted to get take on the idea that a person needs to be Catholic to be saved, but all salvation goes through the church. If you die, you have the chance to enter. (47:36) Why is Vatican II so controversial in our times?

Today,we are a re-releasing Episode #24 of Questions with Father, originally offered in 2019, which focuses on Advent. We have received several questions about the season, and Fr. Paul Robinson joined us to answer all of them in this one episode. We discuss why Advent is 4 weeks instead of 40 days, like Lent, go over suggestions for making Advent more advantageous for both children and the whole family, and then discover the origins of one of your favorite Christmas songs. We also try to settle the debate about when it is appropriate to start decorating for Christmas!

On the last Sunday before Advent, Holy Mother Church asks us to reflect on the last things. It is a moment when we are compelled to reflect on Christ not coming only as the redeemer or mediator, but as the Last Judge. Focusing upon this reality is not done out of morbidity or negativity, but rather to remember always that we must account to our Creator how we have lived.

The final judgment of our souls, which is referred to as the General Judgment, is one we do not always place before our minds. Yet it is crucial for us to prepare for it. Confession is indispensable, and for many of us a General Confession that is mindfully given, examining the course of our lives, is of the upmost importance. Once we make it, once we have found the strength, to be truly open about our sins, it is incumbent that we persevere in the grace of God.

In February 1917, Our Lady asked three children in Fatima to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart. Of those sins she requested reparation for was in response to those who fostered in the hearts of children indifference or contempt for our Blessed Mother. Distressingly, in our own time, we witness the Church fostering that very indifference, indeed blasphemy, toward Our Lady out of a distorted belief in "clarifying" the proper titles we should ascribe to her. That is why it is imperative that we daily renew our devotion to the Blessed Virgin, seeking always on behalf of ourselves and the entire Church forgiveness for this great offense.

Today in the final installment of The Catholic Mass Series, the U.S. District Superior for the Society of Saint Pius X, Fr. John Fullerton, joins the Director of Communications, James Vogel, to reflect on the importance of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and its central place in the life of both the SSPX and the Catholic Church as a whole. They discuss the interrelationship between The Catholic Mass Series and the prior series on the Crisis in the Church, including how the traditional Mass is integral to overcoming the crisis. Father also speaks to some of the practical challenges in making the traditional Mass available to all who seek it while offering advice to those who may be new to the ancient form of the Roman Rite.

WarRoom Battleground EP 895: WarRoom Predicted Day 1 — Pope Francis's Unholy War On Latin Mass Set To Continue Under Leo

When Our Lord performs a miracle, it is not by accident. It is intentional. This is particularly seen in the resurrections Christ performs. He is ridiculed because those present believe there is no hope, no chance for Him to accomplish the miracle that has been asked of Him. Yet we see that the faith of those depending on Him is met with Our Lord's benevolence. All that God asks is for us to let Him into our homes, into our lives, and He will be there.

Today on Questions with Father, we take a closer look at the Vatican's recent document Mater Populi Fidelis, which discourages the use of the Marian titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Fr. Paul Robinson and Fr. Ian Andrew Palko join a roundtable discussion to explain what these titles mean, why they matter, and why the Church has long honored Our Lady in this way. Are these just outdated expressions—or is something deeper at stake? We'll explore the theology behind Marian mediation, the history of these devotions, and why the faithful are right to be concerned—and even outraged—by this document.

Patrick questions what happens to meaning, purpose, and the human soul when AI and robotics perform nearly every task faster and better than people. He blends concerns over skills lost and spiritual emptiness with a Catholic perspective, weaving together listener calls about technology, and the enduring search for fulfillment as machines reshape daily life. Unexpected juxtapositions of futuristic dread and faith-driven hope spark reflection on what actually grounds humanity.

(20:04) Patrick in Monterey, CA - I was converted by a Jew to Catholicism. He persuaded me to convert. (24:01) Grant - My kids have special needs and find that Neuralink could have the possibility to fix brain issues they have. (26:35) Albert – I’m a retired electromagnetic compatibility engineer. If they start putting things like Neuralink in our bodies, I am concerned that our bodies will become conductive pathways. (29:59) Lucas - Matthew 7v21. Is “the rock” referring to Peter when Jesus mentions the rock? (37:31) Gerald - Satan wants to exterminate the Jews to prove to us that God was a liar. (42:19) Karolee - Why did they stop Latin Mass in North Carolina and what was the document that they are citing? (47:45)
