Mass protests erupt nationwide under the “No Kings” banner—but what's really driving them? Reports of violence, coordinated funding, and alleged ties to socialist and communist groups are raising serious questions. Are these demonstrations grassroots—or something far more organized and dangerous? EPISODE SUMMARY: Thousands took to the streets across the U.S. in “No Kings” protests, with some demonstrations turning violent, including clashes with federal officers in Los Angeles. While many participants may believe they're engaging in anti-establishment activism, new reporting suggests a deeper, coordinated effort involving hundreds of organizations and billions in funding. According to coverage from Fox News, a network of over 500 groups—some openly socialist or communist—is allegedly behind the nationwide protests. These groups are said to be leveraging the demonstrations to push revolutionary messaging, with some participants displaying communist symbols and openly calling for systemic upheaval. The Department of Homeland Security has also warned that historically, Marxist-led revolutions often involve violence, raising concerns about the trajectory of these movements. Further scrutiny is being placed on funding sources, including ties to wealthy donors and international influence networks. Allegations suggest that foreign-linked individuals and ideological organizations may be funneling resources into U.S.-based activist groups. This episode breaks down: What actually happened during the “No Kings” protests The scale and coordination behind the movement Claims of foreign and ideological influence Why this moment could signal a major shift in U.S. political unrest Is this simply protest—or something far more organized? SEGMENTS: “No Kings” Protests Turn Violent Who's Funding the Movement? Communist Messaging in Plain Sight DHS Warnings & Historical Parallels What Happens Next? KEY TAKEAWAYS: Nationwide protests showed signs of coordination beyond grassroots organizing Violent incidents, including attacks on federal buildings, raised alarm Reports link demonstrations to socialist and communist-aligned groups Concerns are growing over foreign influence and strategic funding The political and social implications could be long-lasting SOCIAL MEDIA CLIPS (SHORT FORM HOOKS): “500 Groups. $3 BILLION. Who's REALLY Behind ‘No Kings'?” “Protests or Revolution?

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 29, is Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion, the beginning of Holy Week. This feast commemorates Christ's entry into Jerusalem. Following the Jews' example, we proclaim Christ as a Victor over death and sin, taking us with Him into the kingdom of His Father in heaven.We say Hosanna to the Messiah, the Son of God, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.But He is the sign of contradiction, as He is acclaimed by some and reviled by others.Sent into this world to unchain us from sin and the power of Satan, He underwent His Passion, a punishment for our sins, completing the Paschal Mystery.In the Procession with the Palms, in the Gospel, we see a very large crowd spreading their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. People were crying out and saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David.”When He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee." (Matt 21:7-11)In the Liturgy for Palm Sunday, the priests and deacons wear red vestments. There is a special procession at the beginning of Mass, and we witness the blessing of the palms and the gospel reading of the entrance into Jerusalem (Matt 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-10; John 12:12-16; Luke 19:28-40). The priest explains the meaning of Holy Week, the last days of Christ on earth, and the celebration of our Lord's paschal mystery, after the five weeks of Lent.It's a solemn celebration in union with the whole Church: We remember and dramatize Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey, to complete his work as our Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again.United with him in his suffering on the cross, we share his resurrection and new life.The palms are blessed with the following prayer:Almighty God, we pray that you bless these branches and make them holy. Today we joyfully acclaim Jesus our Messiah and King. May we one day reach the happiness of the new and everlasting Jerusalem by faithfully following him who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.Today's Mass recognizes that Jesus' triumph and kingship, which will be revealed when he is lifted up on the cross.Jesus' experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, provides us with the strength to endure the hardships and injustices of our own lives.United to Jesus, our suffering leads to glory.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Why did God accept Abel's sacrifice… but not Cain's?   In today's reflection, we begin the Stations of the Eucharist with a powerful truth:   What you offer matters.   At every Mass, we're not just watching… we're participating.   We are meant to bring something to the altar: our prayers, our struggles, our sacrifices.   What are you offering to God?

How will this week be amazing? Holy Week is not just another week. It's set apart. In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer reminds us of one powerful truth: Your best ability is availability. If you want this week to be different… you have to make yourself available: ➡️ to prayer ➡️ to Mass ➡️ to silence ➡️ to God This week matters. Don't miss it. If these reflections are helping you grow, consider subscribing and sharing with someone who needs this message.

The St. Paul Center's daily scripture reflections from the Mass for Saturday of the Fifth Week of Lent by Mr. Clement Harrold. Lenten Weekday First Reading: Ezekiel 37: 21-28 Responsorial Psalm: Jeremiah 31: 10, 11-12, 13 Verse Before the Gospel: Ezekiel 18: 31 Gospel: John 11: 45-56   Learn more about the Mass at www.stpaulcenter.com

Read OnlineAnd when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked, “Who is this?” And the crowds replied, “This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee.” Matthew 21:10–11The commemoration of our Lord's Passion has begun. Today, Mass begins with the reading of Matthew's account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Riding on a donkey, Jesus is greeted by a very large crowd who “spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road” (Matthew 21:8). The people welcomed Him with shouts of: “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest” (Matthew 21:9).The word “Hosanna” in Hebrew means, “Save us, we pray!” Though it was originally a plea for deliverance, it became an expression of praise and joy, especially as it came to be associated with the Messiah's arrival. The phrase “Hosanna in the highest” calls for God, enthroned in Heaven, to bring His saving power to earth. The crowds' acclamation reveals both a hope for salvation and a recognition of Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah.During Passover week, Jerusalem's population increased several times over with pilgrims from across Israel. The atmosphere was vibrant with religious fervor and communal celebration. Merchants sold sacrificial animals, food, and provisions to the crowds. Central to the festivities was the Temple where sacrifices were offered and the Passover lambs were prepared for the sacred meal. Roman authorities increased security, wary of potential unrest, as the commemoration of Israel's liberation from Egypt stirred hopes of national deliverance. The Jewish authorities were also on high alert, concerned that any disturbance might provoke harsh reprisals from the Romans.Imagine the excitement, concern, and surprise that many of the religious and Roman leaders felt as large crowds professed their belief in Jesus as the Messiah. Was Israel's deliverance at hand? This public acclaim highlighted why some saw Jesus as a threat. The Pharisees, in particular, feared that His messianic identity might undermine the religious authority to which they clung. Most of them dismissed the possibility that Jesus was the Messiah they awaited.Jesus, however, had a very different understanding of the Passover that year. He knew it was the time for His hour of suffering and death, leading to His glorification. He had no interest in political maneuvering. His sole desire was to fulfill His mission as the Messiah by becoming the one perfect Lamb of Sacrifice whose blood would atone for the sins of many. Jesus was determined and confident as He rode into Jerusalem. Though He knew the suffering that awaited Him, His gaze was fixed on His mission of saving souls. In His sacred humanity, He overcame every temptation to fear or anxiety, allowing peace, strength, and joy to fill His heart.Not only is Jesus our Savior and the one Mediator between God and us, His human life perfectly models how we are to live. Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem especially models for us how we are to face every difficult situation that tempts us to fear and anxiety. His courage must become our courage, and His determination our determination.Reflect today on Jesus' interior disposition during His triumphal entry. He invites us to share in His sacrificial love, laying down our lives selflessly for others. This is only possible if we allow His virtues to take root in us every time we are called to imitate His love. As we embrace our own mission, we must not allow fear or anxiety to hinder us. Pray that the courage, peace, and steadfast love that Jesus embodied during that first Holy Week may flourish in your heart. Let go of fear, worry, and selfishness, and allow Jesus' love and strength to fill you, so that His mission may continue through you and, with our Lord, you may lay down your life for others.Sacrificial Lamb of God, You entered Jerusalem as the new and perfect Lamb of Sacrifice, whose blood would be shed for the salvation of all who turn to You. Please open my heart, dear Lord, to receive all You wish to bestow upon me. Fill me with the virtues You possessed, so that my life will be united to Yours and Your Sacrifice will become alive in me.

Patrick unpacks the roots of Catholicism and Islam in America, mixes in practical dating strategies, and fields questions on confession, tradition, and finding the right parish with clarity and candor. Stories of real struggles and honest advice flow as listeners call in about love, faith, and how to stay true when uncertainty hits. Direct, down-to-earth, never skipping the tough moments, Patrick keeps listeners grounded while challenging them to move forward. Adelso (email) - hen did Catholicism first become known in the United States? Additionally, when did Islam become known here in the USA? (00:50) Preston (email) - How do you know when you’ve found a good mate? Do I need to convert before I’ll ever find someone for me? What do I need to do to be a good husband and father?

Patrick answers Catholic questions head-on, opening with the tension between catechism updates on the death penalty and the unchanging core of Church teaching. He fields raw listener concerns about abortion laws, whether women should face prosecution, apologetics on purgatory and indulgences, and even the lasting impact of MTV’s provocative videos, before wrestling with mysteries like God’s presence in the Old Testament. Tony - You say we have to agree with the Catechism. Which paragraph do we agree with when it comes to the death penalty? (00:55) Becky - We are voting on repealing abortion in Missouri.

In this episode, I'm breaking down three platform updates that could change the way you're running your group right now. One of them is a feature that's been sitting in your settings this whole time, doing something you probably didn't sign off on. Another one? It's the kind of tool that makes you wonder why Facebook didn't do this sooner. And the third is something happening across the platform that impacts how you run your Facebook group. Things on Facebook groups are always shifting, and most of it flies under the radar. This episode is your cheat code for staying ahead of it without having to stalk every update yourself.

Fr. Ernesto De Ciccio

Pope Leo XIV is set for a historic visit to Monaco. Meanwhile, Mass was held in memory of Mother Angelica at St. Peter's Basilica. And, Chicago Catholic parents have appealed to the Vatican to keep their school open.

Homily of Fr. Mike O'Connor from Mass on March 27, 2026 at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church in Bay St. Louis, MS. Readings Jer 20:10-13 Jn 10:31-42 If you would like to donate to OLG and her livestream ministry, please go to https://olgchurch.net/give

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/032726.cfmIn the past two days, the Gospels have revealed the core reason Jesus was nailed on the Cross: our sins. Historically, this unfolded through the conflict between Jesus and the Jewish leaders, particularly the Pharisees and scribes. Yesterday, Jesus declared, "I am," connecting Himself to God's self-revelation to Moses as existence itself. Today, He reveals an even deeper truth: the mutual indwelling of the Father and the Son. This Trinitarian revelation speaks of an intimate, interpenetrating life where the Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father.Yet, the most fascinating aspect of this passage is not the historical conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees leading to the Cross, but the internal battle within the hearts of the Pharisees — and within our own hearts. Jesus faces a defense mechanism of denial. The Pharisees do not deny the miracles He performs; they deny what those miracles point to: His divinity. They see the good works, but refuse to trace them back to the divine cause. This denial stems from a threat to their ego.  Jesus, as a greater authority, threatened their status, their livelihood, and their self-perception.When denial fails, the mind moves to rationalization. The Pharisees found a legal reason to reject Jesus: apparent blasphemy. They claimed He was a mere man making Himself equal to God, a crime punishable by death. This is the intellect serving the will to avoid an unwanted reality. hen we do not desire a truth to be real, our will moves our intellect to find a reason to reject it. The Pharisees rationalized their rejection to protect their pride.Next comes projection. The Pharisees took their own internal chaos — pride, resistance, and anger — and projected it onto Jesus. They called Him a blasphemer, transferring their own spiritual blindness onto Him. This is the dynamic of looking at the speck in another's eye while ignoring the beam in one's own. By externalizing their internal demons, they could fight an external enemy rather than face their own brokenness. They converted shame into righteous anger, convincing themselves they were right while Jesus was wrong.Finally, we see the modern phenomenon of gaslighting. The Pharisees did not just deny the truth; they tried to make Jesus doubt His own reality. They accused Him of casting out demons by the power of the devil. Gaslighting is not just refusing to see the truth; it is insisting that the one who sees the truth is crazy, unstable, or mistaken. They tried to reshape reality so that Jesus' miracles were demonic acts. This is a desperate attempt to avoid the shame of facing the truth about oneself.Why does this matter? Because we all carry these defense mechanisms. We are wired to protect our ego, but these mechanisms become exaggerated problems if we remain trapped in them. God became man and died on the Cross to help us cope with our sinful, imperfect souls. We need a healthy image of God — not as a tyrant, but as a source of unconditional mercy. The Divine Mercy Image shows us that God is good and seeks only to heal and restore.This truth gives us the courage to stand spiritually naked before God. We can admit, “Lord, I am a hot mess. I have this problem.” We can submit humbly, knowing God wants to help. We must not get caught in the snare of living like Pharisees. Consider the phrase “my body, my choice” regarding abortion. It is a powerful rationalization that turns the focus of the conversation away from the child and the reality of the situation, justifying an evil by framing it as a right. It is a defense mechanism to avoid the pain of facing the truth. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us Fan MailSalt doesn't sound like a tool for evangelization, until you meet Saint Rupert. We walk through the life of the Apostle of Salzburg and the surprising way he used the salt springs of Austria to serve real human needs while quietly leading hearts toward Christ. His story lands like a reminder that holiness is not abstract: it shows up in work, trade, generosity, and the steady choice to love people where they are.We reflect on why the saints are not distant legends but companions for the Christian journey, and how Rupert's practical leadership helped Salzburg flourish. Salt becomes more than “white gold” or an economic win. It becomes a living catechesis on Jesus' words about being the salt of the earth: preserving what is good, purifying what is broken, and seasoning society with truth and charity. If you care about Catholic tradition, the communion of saints, or what real mission looks like on the ground, Rupert is a clear model.The path is also marked by adversity. Rupert meets suspicion, mockery, and persecution, yet he keeps going with a faith anchored in the Mass, sustained by the sacraments, and strengthened by devotion to Our Lady. We draw a straight line from his endurance to our own struggles, whether that's spiritual opposition, discouragement, or the challenge of living the gospel at home and in public.If you want to deepen your prayer life and learn from a saint who blended courage with tenderness, press play.

Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts GOP, joins WBUR's Morning Edition to share how she believes Republicans can gain ground in state elections this November.

Our readings at Mass today present 2 people who are very alike, both of their names started with the letter "J", and both were prophets who suffered terrible injustices. Yet, both responded to how they were treated in very different ways. Fr. Kubicki affirms who these two people were on today's reflection.

In this Palm Sunday Mass Prep, we reflect on the mysticism of Matthew 21 and the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem.Why do we welcome Jesus… and still struggle to recognize Him?Why does God come gently when we expect power?And what does it mean to lay something down before we understand where He is leading us?This reflection is an invitation to enter Holy Week not with performance, but with awareness — allowing our souls to walk with Christ through the movement of surrender, confusion, and ultimately, resurrection.Peace be with you and with your spirit.

The St. Paul Center's daily scripture reflections from the Mass for Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent by Dr. John Bergsma. Lenten Weekday. Day of Abstinence from Meat (age 14 and up) First Reading: Jeremiah 20: 10-13 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 18: 2-3a, 3bc-4, 5-6, 7 Verse Before the Gospel: John 6: 63c, 68c Gospel: John 10: 31-42   Learn more about the Mass at www.stpaulcenter.com

Here, just beyond the midway point of Lent, we are given a Mass that bears the name "rejoice!" We remember today that "rejoice!" is not a suggestion, but rather a command. Our God is worthy of our praise, and we are in great need of making that offering. Rejoicing, thanksgiving, praising God; that spiritual discipline is oxygen to the Christian soul. We rejoice because, if we have failed in the little that Christ has asked us to do (to take the medication He has offered for our healing; fasting, prayer, and almsgiving), as long as we have breath we have another day to begin and experience Christ's healing and transformation. And we rejoice because He only asks us to offer a little. He fills what lacks in our offering with Himself and does wonders for our salvation.

Professor Subramanian (Subi) Rangan, Professor of Strategy and Management at INSEAD and Endowed Chair in Societal Progress, explores "Capitalism 2.0". He explains how traditional model succeeded in development and wealth creation goals, yet leaving critical gaps from focusing on efficiency over equity, output over outcomes, and growth over sustainability. He discusses the "K-shaped" economy, concentrated power, and leadership responsibility to use influence with more moral character to improve well-being. Subi recommends "better not new" models, urges leaders to consider more human-centric assumptions, and reframes business as a platform for both performance and societal progress.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [01:29] Professor Subi Rangan describes early influences shaping his career and perspective. [02:25] Subi explains his exposure to Tata's positive societal impact in India. [04:06] During his PhD, Subi observes multinational firms as platforms for global human capital. [05:50] Contrasts between business income generation and societal impact outcomes. [06:37] Government intervention rises when markets fail to self-correct. [07:14] Since 1980s, liberalization increased legitimacy of private enterprise self-regulation. [07:30] Capitalism 2.0 addresses gaps in the current system – e.g. enormous wealth creation, but well-being is lacking. [10:15] Efficiency over equity is one driver of the modern "K economy". [10:59] Emphasis on outputs neglected sustainability despite economic growth and scale. [11:47] Mass production and consumption can produce better outcomes with more thoughtful producers and consumers. [12:58] Society is influenced by four systems: bio, cultural, political, and economic. [13:35] Interdependence is regulated to resolve differences – using culture's soft power. [15:00] Hard power, civic interdependence with norms and consequences. [15:51] Economic interdependence excels at efficiency with inherent contradiction. [18:01] Highlights divergence of opportunity and income fuels dissatisfaction. [19:00] The concentration of power comes with moral responsibility to exercise it. [21:04] Inequality is a choice influenced by leadership values. [22:03] Lack of fairness and wellbeing can bring down society. [24:19] Focus on outcomes not outputs, especially fairness as an outcome. [24:56] Economic drivers of ill- or well-being – adjusting the structure of employment. [25:55] Labor immobility challenges adaptation pushing for an ecosystem of adjustment. [26:33] Adaptive individuals emphasises workplace learning over formal education. [26:52] An ecosystem approach supports workforce adaptation and stability. [27:35] How to incorporate non-price value outcomes like wellbeing and equity. [29:05] We have a moral problem, not a technical one. [29:33] After achieved development, wellbeing, equity, and sustainability need economic integration. [31:08] Deeper leadership character must complement competence in AI era. [31:52] AI can be a potential equalizer if guided intentionally. [34:32] Moral reasoning can be incorporated into business education systems. [35:20] Updating applied professions to combine competence and character for meaningful careers. [36:55] Points to Better Life Index as multidimensional well-being measurement model. [38:14] Outcome-based metrics rarely exist at the enterprise level thus far. [39:30] Ideas, academic research, and conversation can drive systemic change.     RESOURCES   Professor Subramanian Rangan's biography   Societyforprogress.org website   Professor Rangan's chapter "From Market-Pareto to Moral-Pareto: Seven Problematic Assumptions in Business Economics Theory" in the 2025 book "Core Assumptions in Business Theory: A Wedge Between Performance and Progress"       QUOTES   "The models that we have really do work to enable this wealth creation. However, they seem to not have done a good job on creating wellbeing."   "There is an anxiety that is quite unprecedented about the future and about the state of the world."    "The 20th century economy produced great output, but it fell short on outcomes."   "It's not about the concentration of power, it's about the exercise of concentrated power."   "Business actually is a great platform for not only positive income, but also for positive impact."

Episode No. 751 features artist Kahlil Robert Irving and curator Rebecca Head Trautmann. Irving is included in "Monuments," at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The exhibition juxtaposes decommissioned Lost Cause monuments with artworks that address the histories the Lost Cause aimed to whitewash. "Monuments" features two Irvings: New Nation (States) Battle of Manassas - 2014, 2024-25; and Viewfinder, 2024 which address the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown Jr. in Ferguson, Missouri and its aftermath. The exhibition, which is on view through May 3, was curated by Hamza Walker, Kara Walker, and Bennett Simpson with Hannah Burstein and Paula Kroll. The museum says that a catalogue is forthcoming. Irving has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and at the Contemporary Art Museum Saint Louis; he's been featured in group exhibitions at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, MASS MoCA in North Adams, Mass., the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and more. He was also a guest on Episode No. 591 in 2023. Trautmann is the curator of "Water's Edge: The Art of Truman Lowe" at the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC. "Water's Edge" is the first career-length survey of Hoocąk (Ho-Chunk) artist. It is on view through January 1, 2027. Smithsonian Books published a catalogue of the exhibition; Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $33-37. Instagram: Kahlil Robert Irving, Tyler Green. Air date: March 26, 2026.
