Patrick unpacks the latest diocesan policies on Catholic funerals (eulogies and Church guidance around cremation) while fielding listener questions that wander from Aztec dancers at Mass to deep mysteries of the Trinity and what it means to be a child of God. He shifts from theology to pressing cultural flashpoints, dissecting caller concerns about salvation, the boundaries of Sunday obligation for the homebound, and the disorienting aftermath of pandemic mandates. In the swirl of doctrine, tradition, and current events, Patrick weaves clarity, candor, and unexpected connections. Per Bishop Paprocki, people in the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, are no longer able to eulogize or speak about their deceased loved ones during Catholic funeral rites (00:33) Louie - Aztec dancers: I had the same reservations that you described about them in Mass. At the Our Lady of Guadalupe festival danced in homage to her. (10:26) Christina - How does the Trinity work when Jesus doesn't know when the 2nd coming is but the Father does? (14:36) Bill - Confirmation on once saved always saved: We can take ourselves away from God. If we stay in a state of sin, can we remain that way and lose soul? (23:06) Liz - Does watching mass online meet the obligation for an older person who is 91 and not feeling good enough to physically attend? (36:32) Joe – I was forced as a police officer to take part in the COVID sham. How do I charitably deal with family who dislike us because we are non-vaxed.

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For this week's Great Rosary Campaign, as the war in the Middle East remains unresolved and the global energy and economic outlook perilous, pray the Rosary for the leaders of the main countries involved (the United States, Iran, and the State of Israel), and that the war would be brought to a peaceful conclusion.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

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.

Send us Fan MailDistraction is easy. Reverence takes effort. Saint Peter Julian Eymard (also spelled Aymard) proves that the effort is worth it because the reward is not a concept, it's a Person. We talk through why the Church remembers him as the Apostle of the Eucharist and how his single-minded love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament can steady a modern Catholic life that feels noisy, hurried, or uncertain.We walk through Eymard's story, from his early attraction to the tabernacle to the trials that refined his vocation, and the moment his mission came into focus: renew the Church by renewing Eucharistic faith. His founding of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856 wasn't a niche project for a few holy specialists. It was a clear invitation to the whole people of God to return to Eucharistic adoration, frequent Communion, and a parish life organized around the Real Presence of Jesus Christ.We also unpack the heart of his teaching: the Mass is a living encounter, not a checklist, and adoration is where gratitude, reparation, and transformation take root. Just as important, Eymard's Eucharistic devotion is inseparable from his Marian devotion, especially his trust in Mary as Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, the mother who leads us to her Eucharistic Son. If you've been longing for a deeper prayer life, a stronger family rhythm, or a more grounded Catholic faith, his witness offers a simple path forward.Subscribe for more stories of the saints, share this with a friend who loves the Eucharist, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Send us Fan MailGolden words can do more than sound beautiful. They can change how you live. We're diving into the life and sermons of St. Peter Chrysologus, the fifth-century Bishop of Ravenna whose preaching earned him the title “Doctor of Homilies” and the nickname “Golden Worded” for a reason: he makes Catholic truth feel close, clear, and doable.We trace who he is, the turbulent world he shepherds, and why his message still hits home in a distracted age. His homilies don't float above real life. They land in kitchens, workplaces, and parishes with vivid images and simple urgency. We talk about the historical pressure in Ravenna, the confusion of heresy and spiritual apathy, and how Chrysologus answers it by weaving Scripture and tradition into a steady path toward holiness.Then we spend time on the heart of his preaching: Eucharistic devotion and the Real Presence. Chrysologus points away from himself and toward the altar, insisting the Eucharist is not a symbol but an encounter with Jesus Christ. We also explore his Marian reverence, his insistence on charity and forgiveness, and his direct call to repentance, confession, and ongoing conversion. If you've been craving a more focused Catholic spiritual life, his “golden words” offer a clean reset: Christ at the center, the sacraments as strength, Our Lady as guide, and the saints as companions.Subscribe for more Catholic teaching and saint stories, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Surrendering vengeance doesn't mean ignoring boundary lines, excusing wrongdoing, or refusing to seek safety—it simply means refusing to drink the poison of hatred. When you release your pain to God's ultimate justice, you unchain your heart from the past and step into true spiritual victory. #FULLTANKwithBroBo #FULLTANKwithBroBo2026 #BoSanchez #StopCarryingHatred #Matthew13 #ParableOfTheWeeds #FreedomInForgiveness #FaithInAction #SpiritualMaturity #TrulyRichMindset #GodIsJudge #grace --- PS.

After a near-death experience, Kate Clinch became drawn into the astonishing, Gothic story of a young Australian woman named Eileen O'Connor, who is buried under the floorboards of a home in Coogee.Kate was working as a GP in country South Australia when an ectopic pregnancy nearly killed her.She had a vivid near death experience, which prompted her to start interrogating inexplicable and miraculous events.Kate hadn't grown up Catholic, or even religious, but years after her near death experience, she was drawn into the story of a young Australian saint-in-waiting named Eileen O'Connor.Eileen lived in Sydney at the turn of the 20th century.She lived with profound physical disabilities, standing at only 115cm tall, but somehow she managed to head up a group of nurses who delivered free medical care to people living in the slums of Sydney.Eileen's story is an astounding collection of ups and downs - suffering, tragedy, a scandalous relationship with a young priest, threats of excommunication, a wartime sea voyage to Rome and a meeting with the Pope.And she is currently being scrutinised by the Vatican for possible canonisation, which would make Eileen Australia's second saint.Every Inch a Saint is published by Monkfish.Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor has been caring for the sick and disadvantaged in their own homes for more than 100 years. You can read more about the religious order and the lay nurses who work with the nuns - colloquially known as the Brown Nurses - online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores spirituality, dying, sickness, religion, faith, Christianity, Catholic Church, World War One, Spanish Influenza, TB, Tuberculosis, history, Australian history, nuns, priests, scandal, people living with disability, sainthood, miracles, near death experiences, metaphysical experiences, motherhood, doctoring, medicine, modern medicine, x-rays, medical history, resilience, divinity, holy, the divine, sainthood, how does someone become a saint, what is a miracle, living with disability, spinal deformity, grief, death.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Patrick opens with a flurry of questions about parish sacramental access, shifting straight into parents wrestling with how faith endures when children grow up and step into secular spaces. Unexpected moments surface: a father refusing a suitor, families weighing boundaries, and frustrated reflections on why young adults abandon the beliefs they were raised with, all while the wider culture seems eager to tug them elsewhere. The conversation pivots to why students barely touch books and how even spiritual terms like “Spouse of the Holy Spirit” can unsettle listeners, hinting at how language and habit both drift amid change. Kevin (email) - Denying a Sacrament because of your zip code? (00:54) Email - Do you expect a man to ask your permission before he proposes to your daughter? Do you teach your sons to ask her father's permission before he proposes to a woman? (08:35) Kim - How do I tell my daughter that God loves her? (19:23) Kathy - I am enjoying the topic you are discussing about dating. Can you also talk about evaluating a woman for your son? (28:11) Audio: The absolute state of public education – Schools discourage kids from reading - https://x.com/xxclusionary/status/1843062410414113023?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (33:04) Anne - You are talking about kids not reading. What if we read with our kids? I think that could get them into the story. (41:57) Todd – I don’t care for the term “Spouse of the Holy Spirit”. This doesn't seem to be scripturally based title for Our Lady or based in Catholic doctrine. (44:43)
