Mass protests across Iran: but how will the authorities respond? We hear from the BBC Persian Service, where journalists are trying to monitor events amid an information blackout, and discuss Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's options with Iranian-American journalist Hooman Majd. Also in the programme: Colombian President Gustavo Petro's views on United States policy in Latin America; and Elon Musk's former partner Ashley St Clair explains her concerns about sexualised images made by the Grok AI chatbot on X, formerly known as Twitter.(Photo: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, taken on 3 Jan 2026; Credit: IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER OFFICE HANDOUT/EPA/Shutterstock)

Patrick responds to listeners wrestling with parish turmoil, scandal, and the tensions between Catholicism and Protestant churches, grounding his advice in Scripture and personal anecdotes. Communion debates, worries about Church "rules," and calls for prayer get honest airtime—he draws from stories of saints, practical analogies, and candid self-reflection. The hour moves quickly, shifting from heartfelt concern to moments of gentle humor, offering reassurance and clarity without shying away from uncomfortable truths. Cynthia - How do I know if and when I should leave my parish because my priest is not living right? (00:40) Joe - I want to thank you for explaining hermeneutics the other day. Can you defend Protestantism? (15:10) Jim - You were discussing Baptism. Pope JPII said that 'you are Christ'. Can you help me understand this? (23:43) Jennifer - We need to be united as Catholics, and we need to be patient and persevere. (27:55) Vanessa - Why is it acceptable to not go to daily Mass because it is not Latin? (33:21) Mary Ann - My husband is a great Protestant man but doesn't go to Church. Also, my friends are Protestant but don't want to be Catholic because it is too hard. (38:20) Joseph - How old do you think the world is? I think it is only 6,000-7,000 years. (48:29)

Patrick fields concerns about reverence, inclusion, and the struggles of Catholics navigating community shifts, challenging rigid mindsets while affirming the heart of Church tradition. Listeners share their anxieties, stories, and hopes; Patrick responds with candor, practical insight, and encouragement to remain faithful amid uncertainty. Audio: TSA has apparently known for years that Somalis were flying with suitcases of cash from Minnesota, overseas. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Thanks to John Soloman host of “Just the News, No Noise” - https://x.com/i/trending/2008966344377557114 (02:01) Mike (email) – Is it okay to dress casually when I go to Mass or Adoration? (03:28) Email - Am I being too rigid in my negative assessment of a situation where a monastery is offering the Eucharist to those who they know are not Catholic? (06:24) Derek - I am learning more about the Catholic Church through OCIA. I rely heavily on data and have been reading your book “Surprised by Truth”. Do you have any advice? (13:43) Deacons were not permitted to touch the consecrated host or even to act as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, absent a grave cause – (23:54) Dennis - We are losing attendance to Church. It scares me. I think we need to be devoted to the Eucharist. (29:52) Ed - I agree with you Patrick about the consecration and that a lay person shouldn't distribute Communion. At my Church, you have one priest consecrating the Eucharist and other priests distributing. Does your rule apply to them? (39:17) Stephanie - I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and mostly everyone is appropriately dressed for Mass. Not everyone has the wherewithal to buy a suit and I needed to talk to my husband about this. For those who can't afford nice clothes, they always seem to be presentable and in clean clothes. (43:22)

Rudyard and Janice begin today’s show discussing the ongoing protests in Iran and whether they pose more of a threat to the regime than previous demonstrations. They also discuss the controversial killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minnesota, the Trump administration's gaslighting response, and the subsequent backlash from the American public. Will this tragic incident have an impact on immigration policy more broadly? In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Janice turn to Venezuela and the fallout from the U.S. attack and capture of President Nicolás Maduro. How seriously should we take Trump's imperialist rhetoric regarding Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland? Does this signal a new age of rank colonialism? And is this the end of the international rules-based world order as we know it?

Patrick opens with listener reactions to a passionate Mass debate, tossing in quirky garage band names before leaping from zip code nostalgia to cautionary tales about AI. Questions about mystics and spiritual discernment pull Patrick into practical advice rooted in classic Catholic wisdom, steering callers through tales of visions and mysterious experiences. A powerful poem shared by Michael Caine and memories of Mel Blanc’s iconic voices bring warmth and levity, shaping a lively episode of faith, curiosity, and unexpected turns. Audio: 1963 introducing the zip code - https://x.com/rainmaker1973/status/2003413703119765799?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (08:49) Audio: Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on AI: “Pull the plug” - https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/2005776981577580666?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (11:24) Audio: Mel Blanc doing characters - https://x.com/thecinesthetic/status/2005813587827384700 (17:48) Audio: Chase Hughes on living in rabbit holes - https://x.com/truthache68/status/2007911585126474022 (20:28) Jessica - Can you help me understand how a person becomes a mystic and how does the Church recognize them? (22:47) Audio: Michael Caine reads blueprint for becoming a man – 90 - https://x.com/dtop1percentmen/status/2006961245224644933?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (41:28) Doug - How do we discern visions? I had two visions recently and am wondering if God really gives visions? Is this something I should talk to a priest about? (43:51)

Patrick invites listeners on a wild ride through fifty-year-old rock hits, challenging musical memory with rapid-fire clips while surprising everyone with sharp recall. Amid the energy, Patrick responds to callers like Leo, whose honest struggle with showing reverence at Mass unfolds into a breakthrough about faith and personal authenticity. Mixed in are clear answers about Catholic customs, confessions about Communion practices, and encouragement to discover accessible, spiritually-nourishing resources, all wrapped up with quick-witted exchanges that keep things lively and real. Patrick is quizzed on popular songs turning 50 years old (00:38) Leo - You told the story about a Mormon believing in the Eucharist. It seems most Catholics don't do that much to show reverence. I struggle with accepting the Body of Christ. (06:12) Maria Christina - My son's pastor decided that the kids needed to be older. They waited until High School. By the time that happened, my son didn't want to do it but we made him do it anyway. Was the sacrament valid? (19:48) Jackie - I wish that young people would come back sooner instead of later. If they come back too late, Churches might be closed. (25:51) George - I had Confirmation and baptism as a baby and Communion around 7. When I was around 11 or 12, I started to understand. Is there a canonical process for people to recommit to their Confirmation or recommit to their faith? (29:36) Glorie - Is it okay to receive Holy Communion on the hand from a Eucharistic Minister? (37:47) Jake - Should we pray to God and Jesus separately? (46:52)

Patrick opens this hour reflecting on faith through listeners’ mysterious visions, questions about Church practices, and the subtle challenges of returning to Catholic life. He moves between thoughtful advice on confirmation age and respectful handling of cremation, then jumps to lighter moments like the age-old debate over pew etiquette. Everyday stories, unexpected spiritual encounters, and nuanced Church teachings all blend together in his lively, sincere style. Patrick continues his conversation with Doug from the end of the last hour. Doug had some disturbing visions. He’s asking Patrick if he should talk to a priest about this troubling experience. (02:33) Christine (email) - Please lay out your stance on being "for" children to be confirmed at a younger age than High School? (19:37) Jill - My children and I were driving to Mass and I saw that half a moon was black and other half was normal. There was a spiral that I saw on the tip of the moon that went all the way down. (24:59) Michael - I am a member of the diocese of Gallup. Bishop Wall is a good friend of mine. I read this letter as a lector to the congregation. I support returning to the old way. (29:41) Bishop Wall’s letter, “The Gift of the Father: Pastoral Letter from the Most Reverend James Sean Wall on the Restoration of the Order of the Sacraments of Initiation” (32:23) Linda - My mother died recently and my brothers want to split the ashes among us. I am against this. What am I supposed to do? (41:40) Steve - How should we expect people on end of pew to scoot in for latecomers? (48:25)

As federal sources stand firm on protecting law enforcement amid organized obstructions, Vice President JD Vance joins the White House briefing to dismantle media spin, announce a powerful new Assistant Attorney General position with nationwide reach targeting industrial-scale welfare and daycare fraud—starting in Minnesota—and highlight Trump's bold reforms demanding defense contractors prioritize production over buybacks while surging military strength.

Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The global launch industry achieved record numbers led by SpaceX, which Zimmerman argues has effectively become the true American space program by launching 90% of all payload mass and funding its own Mars ambitions through Starlink revenue. While China utilizes state-supervised pseudo-capitalism to keep pace, the commercial sector is booming with competitors like Rocket Lab and multiple companies developing private space stations, creating a new market for orbital debris cleanup services.1941

Listeners call with concerns over Eucharistic ministers, murmured conversations during prayer, hand gestures at Mass, and even applause after hymns, while Patrick addresses each with candor, encouragement, and practical suggestions—never shying from the tricky nuances of Church teaching or daily life. Patrick shares a story about speaking at a parish when a Mormon gentleman came up to ask him about “the little curtsey” he did in front of the Tabernacle. (01:31) Maria - I was invited to be a Eucharistic Minister, but I have reservations. I see things that are not right. Is it a sin not to do it? (07:45) Cindy - I agree that it is sad that a lot of Catholics don't believe in the Eucharist. I had a dream that I was in Church and was seeing they were giving Communion to people and I saw the face of Jesus in the Eucharist. Why would I dream this? (15:46) Dave - I love the reverence of the Eucharist, but when people do things like the 'unicycle' it can scare people away. I wish we were consistent with what the Church does. (17:58) Linda - My kids used to say, 'We don't understand' why we have to dress up for Mass. (22:11) John - I am a Eucharist minister. I do give a blessing. It is really not the person giving the blessing, as the blessing is really from God. It is just like saying 'God bless you'. (26:36) Maria - People talking very loudly at Mass makes it hard to concentrate. Is it ok to tell people to be quiet? (37:26) Fr. Mark (email) – There can be confusion about convalidation… (47:32)

Patrick answers pressing questions about reverence and posture at Mass, and clears up confusion on blessings and tradition. He tackles misunderstandings around Vatican II, eating meat, and cultural customs while always centering the discussion on Christ and authentic faith. Listeners hear stories of everyday belief, gaining clarity and conviction in Catholic practice. Laurie - I was listening to Relevant Radio before car wash and got my car wash free! (00:40) Tony – The caller John said that he would bless people with the Eucharist in his hand, but he lacks authority. Lay people can't do this. (03:37) C.J. – What do you mean, it has been wrong since 1970 to kneel to receive Communion? (06:58) Cody - I have heard that the Our Father has to be prayed in Latin and that any priest or bishop who doesn’t pray it in Latin is a heretic. (15:02) Cordelia (email) - My understanding (and I think a lot of others) was that the elderly gentleman caller this morning asked about simply kneeling to receive communion, and not about crawling on your knees all the way down the aisle to receive communion (which I agree would be a huge distraction) (21:34) Amy - When we build an altar at a conference center for retreat, should we bow in reverence? (24:05) Daniel - Is it appropriate to genuflect on one knee before receiving the Eucharist? (27:56) Steve - Keeping our focus on Christ, we should make praising God primary and not our personal preference or input. You are trying to pick it apart from your experience.

In this episode, we will explore ideas such as:   1.      Give thanks to God for Jesus. 2.      Allow him to serve you by saving you. 3.      Imitate his obedience by serving others with love.   The readings can be found here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/011126.cfm   Unpacking the Mass is a production of Down to Earth Ministry which exists to provide encouragement and resources to those considering, converting, and growing in Catholicism.  

The following synopsis for the January 3, 2025, broadcast of Infinite Plane (Saturn Day) summarizes the host's analysis of media manipulation, the launch of a new collaborative project, and a critique of the “world stage.”SynopsisIn this episode, the host outlines the mission of The Great Deconstruction, a community-driven project intended to map a parallel timeline of historical and media events from the last century. Moving away from the “noise” and “garbage content” of typical alt-media and “Trutherville” cults, the broadcast emphasizes a transition from using terms like “hoaxes” or “psyops” toward a more sophisticated understanding of “history bending”. The host argues that major news events—ranging from the arrest of Venezuela's president to the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania—are theatrical productions scripted in advance and executed by actors and directors. By analyzing the “invisible prison” of media through a skeptical lens rather than a credulous one, the show aims to provide a foundation for those seeking to move “off world stage”.Key Discussion TopicsThe Great Deconstruction and Whiteboard Series: The launch of a group project to create a foundational diagram and timeline showing the “program” that has been implemented for nearly 100 years, supplemented by a series of visual “whiteboard” talks designed to articulate complex concepts like predictive concurrent programming to the public.The World Stage as Scripted Theater: A deep dive into the “secondary timeline” where fake and staged events are superimposed over reality, treating major political figures as “made-to-order” archetypes and noting that upcoming “historic events” for the year are already written and rehearsed.Critique of “Gatekept” Independent Journalism: A dismissal of figures like James O'Keefe and organizations like Project Veritas as establishment-controlled “independent” journalists who focus on theatrical costumes and drunken whistleblowers while avoiding the “real things that matter,” such as crisis actors and simulated events.Space as Allegory and Worldview Warfare: Re-evaluating NASA and the space program not as scientific endeavors, but as “inner space” psychological operations and “ceremonial magic” designed to promote a “Trojan horse” for global environmentalism and a collectivist “space communism”.Moving Beyond the “False Binary” of Flat Earth: Reflecting on the “Infinite Plane” concept as a way to escape the limited “flat vs. round” debate, which the host suggests was hijacked by controlled opposition and “lore-based” religious cults to discredit genuine media skepticism.Key Quotes“The Great Deconstruction is what we're doing, what we're creating to provide a starting point for anybody who reaches this.”“These aren't mere hoaxes; these are historic events which become permanent facets of the world stage... The place where fiction and reality are seamlessly merged.”“Mass media is a liar. That's the job. Its job is to conform you, not to inform you.”“We're not just connecting dots... what we're doing is we're providing something without any of the noise.”“Theater as a tool of governance... we can see the results of what has been done with very mundane means.”

In this episode, Therese Markow and Elizabeth Burch discuss Elizabeth's new book, "The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America's Lawsuit Factory," which exposes a scheme where con artists, attorneys, and rogue doctors exploited women through mass torts involving pelvic mesh implants. Elizabeth explains how mass torts differ from class actions and explains how attorneys earn contingency fees. Throughout the episode, they discuss the ways in which the scheme was perpetuated and how vulnerable women were exploited by a data breach in India.     Key Takeaways: A tort is a harm, such as a punch or a car accident. A mass tort is when those harms happen on a large scale.  Mass torts can be a goldmine for lawyers (and there is a convention held twice a year regarding mass torts in Las Vegas). This can be concerning as more states are allowing law firms to be owned, even partially, by non-lawyers.  Many of the women involved with this mass tort were conned by people who had their specific information, including birth dates, surgery dates, and other medical information. It created a lot of confusion for many.    "You can imagine that your scam detector would probably go off if someone called you and asked you for that information. But if someone calls you and they already know your birth date and the name of your implanting doctor and the type of mesh that you have and exactly when you had the surgery and where you had the surgery, then all of a sudden it feels a lot more legitimate." —  Elizabeth Burch   Connect with Elizabeth Burch: Professional Bio: https://www.elizabethchambleeburch.com/about  Website: https://www.elizabethchambleeburch.com/  Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/eburch.bsky.social    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethcburch/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethcburch/  X: https://x.com/elizabethcburch  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ECBurch/   Pre-Order The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America's Lawsuit Factory here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pain-Brokers/Elizabeth-Chamblee-Burch/9781668068861    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Serving at the altar raised a live question: “If Eucharistic miracles make belief easier, why don't they happen more?” Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks walk through what the Church means by miracle, why visible phenomena (flesh/blood) are actually less than the Eucharist itself (the whole living Christ), and how forgiveness and transformed virtue are real—though often unseen—miracles. We also clarify roles at Mass (Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion) and reflect on believing without seeing. Throughout, we keep the three lenses in view: honesty with self, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasMiracle ≠ rarity; miracle = beyond nature. The Eucharist is already a miracle: bread and wine become Jesus—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.“Less visible, greater reality”: a Eucharistic miracle (flesh/blood) is a sign; the Eucharist is the greater reality—Christ whole and living.Science points, faith receives: studies of reported miracles often converge (heart tissue, left ventricle, trauma markers, AB+), but signs serve the Sacrament.Unseen miracles: absolution, growth in virtue, and daily conversions are real works of grace you can't photograph—but you can live.Roles at Communion: clergy are ordinary ministers; laypeople assist as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion when needed.“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe”—ask for faith to recognize and receive the Giver more than the signs.Links & References“Scientifically Analyzed Eucharistic Miracles” (Truthly, 11-min video referenced by Father): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHO8L9477aUCTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

How do we go about with that? (26:44) Anne (email) - I have a question about monks who lived in hermitages who were not ordained who did not attend mass.

Step into the late-night intellectual fray with The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel. In this episode, Lionel dissects the "crude" reality of Venezuelan oil, the aggressive roots of neoconservatism, and the modernization of the Catholic Church. From a caller's 1967 Corvette analogy for foreign policy to a deep dive into why "liberals mugged by reality" shaped global dominance, the show challenges mainstream media narratives from Newsmax to Al Jazeera. Whether debating if the entire Bible is read during Mass or analyzing Donald Trump's "condo deal" approach to diplomacy, Lionel offers a provocative, unfiltered look at power, religion, and the "living, breathing" documents that govern our lives.
