Podcasts about Pope Pius XII

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre receives a new and daunting mission: Pope Pius XII appoints him Apostolic Delegate for French-speaking Africa. Now, while still shepherding Dakar, he must represent the Holy See across dozens of missionary territories, from Morocco and Senegal to Madagascar and Réunion. Chapter 9 shows him encouraging bishops, creating new dioceses, helping choose future pastors, raising funds, bringing in religious congregations, and strengthening the Church's presence across a rapidly changing Africa. We see his loyalty to Rome, his practical genius, his calm authority, and his deep concern that the African Church be truly Catholic, missionary, and rooted in strong native clergy.

Danny Sheehan is one of the most consequential public interest attorneys of the last century. His cases include the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, the Karen Silkwood case, the Iran-Contra investigation, and decades of work at the intersection of government secrecy and the public's right to know. He is co-founder of the Romero Institute and the New Paradigm Institute, and a leading voice in the push for congressional UAP disclosure. Today, he stands at the center of what may be the most consequential question humanity has ever faced: the implications of a potential extraterrestrial or extradimensional non-human presence here on Earth. Having spent over 50 years litigating against government secrecy and winning, in this discussion, Danny connects the JFK assassination, the Vatican's role in the 1933 Italy UFO crash, the founding of the CIA, and the architecture of Brown Brothers Harriman to the UFO cover-up we're living through today, and lays out the concrete constitutional path to disclosure. Big thanks to Jamie Billings for helping make this interview happen, and to Danny and his wife for their time and generosity. The New Paradigm Institute, founded by acclaimed civil rights and Constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan, is dedicated to advocating for the public release of information held by the government surrounding the issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), or what was commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

Thanks for joining us! We are staying with our Anniversary theme as we continue to celebrate Handbook for Humanity turning 4 years old. Besides July being a special time for us it is also a special anniversary month for St. John Paul II. On July 4th, 1958 Pope Pius XII appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of Krakow, Poland. With that in mind we thought it would be a good time to step away from the text and concepts of Theology of the Body and focus on the man who wrote it. We will move through this podcast with the help of several guests who actually walked in the footsteps of JP II as well as insights from our usual team of Adele, Becki and content partner Colby Allen.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 6, Catholics honor Maria Goretti (1890-1902) as the saint of the day, a paramount example of virtue, courage, and holiness who met a martyr's death.St. Maria was born near Ancona (Italy), the daughter of a poor peasant family. Maria was well known to her neighbors for her cheerfulness and piety.When she was twelve, she was a victim of assault; she preferred to die rather than to lose her virginity.When she refused to submit to the attacker, Alessandro Serenellis, a 20-year-old farmer, stabbed her 14 times.She was taken to the hospital, but she died while forgiving him.During imprisonment, the assassin repented. He later became a lay brother in a Capuchin monastery. Maria was beatified in 1947 and canonized in 1950. The repentant murderer sat next to her mother, Assunta, at the beatification, who also forgave him.It was also the first time a parent was present for their own child's canonization.With splendid courage, the virgin martyr surrendered herself to God and his grace and so gave her life to protect her virginity.In the homily at the canonization of Saint Maria Goretti, Pope Pius XII said,"Let us all, with God's grace, strive to reach the goal that the example of the virgin martyr, Saint Maria Goretti, sets before us. Through her prayers to the Redeemer, may all of us, each in his own way, joyfully try to follow the inspiring example of Maria Goretti, who now enjoys eternal happiness in heaven."We are all called to the pursuit of Christian virtue.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!

Monday of the 14th Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Maria Goretti, 1890-1902; after her father’s passing, Saint Maria’s mother had to return to work while Maria looked after her five brothers and sisters; sadly, a malicious neighbor took advantage of the situation and little Maria was killed in 1902; Saint Maria, at age 11, declared she’d rather die than be abused; she was canonized in 1950 by Pope Pius XII and is one of the Church’s youngest saints Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/6/26 Gospel: Matthew 9:18-26

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 383 The Saint of the day is Saint Maria Goretti Saint Maria Goretti's Story One of the largest crowds ever assembled for a canonization—250,000—symbolized the reaction of millions touched by the simple story of Maria Goretti. She was the daughter of a poor Italian tenant farmer, had no chance to go to school, never learned to read or write. When Maria made her First Communion not long before her death, she was one of the larger and somewhat backward members of the class. On a hot afternoon in July, Maria Goretti was sitting at the top of the stairs of her house, mending a shirt. She was not quite 12 years old, but physically mature. A cart stopped outside, and a neighbor, 18-year-old Alessandro, ran up the stairs. He seized her and pulled her into a bedroom. She struggled and tried to call for help. “No, God does not wish it,” she cried out. “It is a sin. You would go to hell for it.” Alessandro began striking at her blindly with a long dagger. Maria Goretti was taken to a hospital. Her last hours were marked by the usual simple compassion of the good—concern about where her mother would sleep, forgiveness of her murderer (she had been in fear of him, but did not say anything lest she cause trouble to his family), and her devout welcoming of Viaticum, her last Holy Communion. She died about 24 hours after the attack. A Prayer for Maria Goretti Alessandro was sentenced to 30 years in prison. For a long time he was unrepentant and surly. One night he had a dream or vision of Maria Goretti gathering flowers and offering them to him. His life changed. When he was released after 27 years, his first act was to beg the forgiveness of Maria's mother. Devotion to the young martyr grew, miracles were worked, and in less than half a century she was canonized. At her beatification in 1947, her 82-year-old mother, two sisters, and her brother appeared with Pope Pius XII on the balcony of St. Peter's. Three years later, at Maria's canonization, a 66-year-old Alessandro Serenelli knelt among the quarter-million people and cried tears of joy. Reflection Saint Maria may have had trouble with catechism, but she had no trouble with faith. God's will was holiness, decency, respect for one's body, absolute obedience, total trust. In a complex world, her faith was simple: It is a privilege to be loved by God, and to love him—at any cost.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Former Freemason Leo Zagami explores the Vatican's hidden role in UFO disclosure, the Jesuits' influence on Disclosure Day, and the alleged reverse engineering program that began with Italy's 1933 extraterrestrial crash in episode 253 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.A former Freemason with connections to Italy's infamous P2 Masonic network, Leo Zagami is an Italian author whose work explores the Vatican, intelligence agencies, secret societies, and UFO disclosure. Drawing on decades of research and his own experiences inside esoteric organizations, he investigates the historical forces he believes continue to shape global politics, religion, and the modern disclosure movement. His latest book, The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda, traces the origins of modern UFO disclosure through the Vatican's role in extraterrestrial encounters, Jesuit astronomy, hidden archives, and Italy's alleged 1933 UFO crash.What if the modern UFO disclosure movement didn't begin with Roswell at all? Faust and Leo argue that today's debates over extraterrestrials, the Vatican, and non-human intelligence can only be understood by looking much further back — through the Book of Enoch, the theological changes of Vatican II, and the institutions that have shaped public understanding for generations. As the conversation expands from alleged reverse engineering to the CIA's Legacy Program and the enduring aliens-versus-demons debate, it asks whether disclosure is revealing something new — or reviving a story that never truly disappeared.In this episode:• The 1933 Magenta Crash: Was Roswell really the beginning?• Disclosure Day: Why Leo believes Hollywood may be prepping us for what's coming next.• The Book of Enoch: The ancient text that changed entire aliens-versus-demons debate.• The SOL Foundation: Is the world's leading UAP think tank managing disclosure?• Vatican II: The forgotten theological shift—how the Church views extraterrestrials.• Jesuit Astronomers: Why would one of the world's oldest religious orders be watching the skies?• Remote Viewing & Stargate: What the CIA hoped to learn from psychic contact with non-human intelligence.• Marconi's Death Ray: The bizarre World War II technology story most people have never heard.• Anunnaki & Nephilim: Are the oldest stories in human history describing the same phenomenon?• Brother Extraterrestrial: Why one Vatican phrase could redefine the entire disclosure narrative.If the story of UFO disclosure really began long before Roswell, the biggest secret may not be what we're discovering today — but what we've been taught to forget.00:00:00 Leo Zagami's New Book The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda00:00:42 Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" Screenplay & Hollywood Gatekeepers00:01:54 Mussolini's UFO Crash: Hidden 1933 Italian Evidence00:03:41 David Grusch Exposed: Whistleblower or Authorized Agent?00:08:15 Vatican Secrets on Extraterrestrial Life00:13:31 The Magenta UFO Crash & The Real Birth of Reverse Engineering=00:19:20 Inside Cabinet RS 33: Italy's Top Secret Fascist UFO Team00:22:51 The Marconi Death Ray & Secret Pope War Interventions00:31:48 Pope Pius XII's Close Encounter in the Vatican Gardens00:35:45 53 Miles of Vatican Secret Archives00:38:01 The Vatican Faculty of Paranormal: Training Priests for Aliens00:40:20 Pope John XXIII's Secret 1961 Alien Encounter at Castel Gandolfo00:45:31 Inside The Sol Foundation: The CIA's New Disclosure Playbook00:54:29 Zecharia Sitchin's Hidden Collaboration with the Vatican00:56:03 Forbidden Book of Enoch: Why the Vatican Censors Malevolent Entities01:08:19 Jack Parsons, L.

Pope Pius XII was dying. He knew the Church was facing a crisis that would not come from outside, but from within. In his final months, he commissioned a sweeping encyclical, Cultum Regni, "Worship of the King of Kings"—intended to condemn the theological errors already spreading through Catholic seminaries and universities. He died before it could be published. The document was buried. And the Church chose a different path.Now, newly uncovered Vatican archival research has brought the draft to light. What it reveals is stunning: Pius XII anticipated almost every theological dispute that would erupt after Vatican II. The sacrificial nature of the Mass. The authority of the magisterium. Moral relativism. Doctrinal ambiguity. Ecumenism. The relationship between Church and state. He saw the Nouvelle Théologie for what it was, Modernism dressed in new language, and he was preparing to stop it.

Patrick explores everything from the legacy of Pope Pius XII (including his actions toward Jews in World War II) to nuanced questions about priestly vocations, altar servers, and the details of Catholic liturgy. He answers questions about daily Mass devotions, kneeling protocols, what qualifies someone for sainthood, and what families can do when parents hesitate to baptize their children. Personal stories, raw questions, even discussions of movies like What About Bob—all swirl together, challenging and comforting anyone seeking answers in the modern Catholic experience. Nathaniel (12-years-old) - What do you think of Pope Pius XII? Some people thought he was bad but there is new information saying he helped the Jews. (00:42) Tom - What does the Church teach on ordaining gay priests or those with gay tendencies. (03:37) Sandy - I am 85 and am still working and I am looking forward to retirement. (21:50) Paul - If I attend Saturday vigil, does that count for the 1st Saturday devotion if I can't attend morning mass? (26:33) Richard - A man who is gay and wants to be a priest, and decides to be celibate, Catholic priesthood seems like the perfect place for him. (29:58) Linda - Are Catholic churches allowed to not have any kneelers in the pews? (35:54) Al - Graduation masses: is it appropriate during the Mass to bring other gifts to the altar area that are symbols for grads (like textbooks etc.)? (41:45) Margie – I want to get our grandchildren baptized. (47:16) Gina - Does a person have to be incorruptible to be considered for the cause for Sainthood to be opened? Do they have to be dead to start cause? (50:00)

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Saturday, June 13, the day after the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The Immaculate Heart of Mary reminds us of purity, love, and devotion. It symbolizes Mary's unwavering faith, compassion, and deep connection to God's will.Her heart, untouched by sin, is a model of holiness for all.Through her heart, we find a perfect reflection of God's mercy and grace, guiding us toward a deeper relationship. We seek Mary's intercession to live with love and humility and grow closer to Christ Our Savior.The feast was established in 1944, in the midst of World War II, by Pope Pius XII, who consecrated the world and placed it under the special protection of the Virgin Mary.Pius XII's Decree of May 4, 1944. asked her intercession to obtain "peace among nations, freedom for the Church, the conversion of sinners, the love of purity and the practice of virtue."But the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary wasn't new.Christians were early attracted by the love and virtues of the Heart of Mary.Simeon's prophecy that Mary's heart would be pierced with a sword paved the way for this devotion. Moreover, Mary was not passive at the foot of the Cross; "she cooperated through charity," as St. Augustine says, "in the work of our redemption."The meditations on the Ave Maria and the Salve Regina date back to the Eleventh century.In the seventeenth century, St. John Eudes preached it together with that of the Sacred Heart.In 1830, during the revelation of the "miraculous medal," the Virgin Mary showed to Catherine Laboure the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus united.In the nineteenth century, Pius VII and Pius IX allowed several churches to celebrate a feast of the Pure Heart of Mary.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!

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 361 The Saint of the day is Saint Joachima Saint Joachima's Story Born into an aristocratic family in Barcelona, Spain, Saint Joachima was 12 when she expressed a desire to become a Carmelite nun. But her life took an altogether different turn at 16 with her marriage to a young lawyer, Theodore de Mas. Both deeply devout, they became Secular Franciscans. During their 17 years of married life they raised eight children. The normalcy of their family life was interrupted when Napoleon invaded Spain. Saint Joachima had to flee with the children; Theodore remained behind and died. Though Joachima re-experienced a desire to enter a religious community, she attended to her duties as a mother. At the same time, the young widow led a life of austerity and chose to wear the habit of the Third Order of St. Francis as her ordinary dress. She spent much time in prayer and visiting the sick. Four years later, with some of her children now married and younger ones under their care, Joachima confessed her desire to a priest to join a religious order. With his encouragement, she established the Carmelite Sisters of Charity. In the midst of the fratricidal wars occurring at the time, Joachima was briefly imprisoned and later exiled to France for several years. Sickness ultimately compelled her to resign as superior of her order. Over the next four years she slowly succumbed to paralysis, which caused her to die by inches. At her death in 1854 at the age of 71, Joachima was known and admired for her high degree of prayer, deep trust in God, and selfless charity. Saint Joachima was beatified by Pope Pius XII in 1940, and canonized by Pope John XXIII in 1959. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on August 28. Reflection Saint Joachima understands loss. She lost the home where her children grew up, her husband, and finally her health. As the power to move and care for her own needs slowly ebbed away, this woman who had all her life cared for others became wholly dependent; she required help with life's simplest tasks. When our own lives go spinning out of control, when illness and bereavement and financial hardship strike, all we can do is cling to the belief that sustained Joachima: God watches over us always.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Send us a text by clicking this link!A papal document tries to warn the world about artificial intelligence, but what happens when the warning itself is so ambiguous that it feels like it cannot guide anyone's conscience? We dig into Pope Leo's new AI text and ask the questions the average Catholic is already asking: What does “remain profoundly human” actually mean, what is “true progress,” and why does so much Church messaging sound allergic to naming sin, conversion, and the spiritual stakes of modern tech?From there, we zoom out to the bigger picture driving the anxiety: a Church leadership culture that often aims for unity without defining unity in Christ, and “solutions” that feel more humanist than Catholic. We talk about how social media dehumanizes people through anonymity, why AI can become an oracle if we treat it like one, and how older Catholic writing often delivered clearer moral reasoning in fewer words. We also explore why many Catholics see the current moment as a hostile takeover in slow motion, not a clean break from the faith, but a steady dilution that confuses the faithful while keeping the sacraments intact.Then the conversation gets blunt about ideology and influence: communism and apostasy in light of Pope Pius XII's 1949 decree, the Vatican's World Meeting of Popular Movements, and the danger of pairing local churches with activist networks that push revolution, abortion politics, and syncretistic spirituality. Along the way we touch prophecy, Jerusalem, Fatima timelines, and why end times talk keeps resurfacing when institutions look unsteady.Subscribe, share this with a friend who is trying to think clearly about AI and the Catholic Church, and leave a review with the one line from the conversation you cannot stop thinking about.Support the showGet 10% off an amazing Black Monk Rosary by going to https://www.blackmonkrosaries.com/?ref=AVOIDINGBABYLON and using code AVOIDINGBABYLON at checkout!Check out our sponsor, Nic Nac, at www.nicnac.com and use code "AB25%" for 25% off of your first order!Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rss

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Sixth Week of Easter Lectionary: 292 The Saint of the day is Saint Leopold Mandic Saint Leopold Mandic's story Western Christians who are working for greater dialogue with Orthodox Christians may be reaping the fruits of Father Leopold's prayers. A native of Croatia, Leopold Mandic joined the Capuchin Franciscans and was ordained several years later in spite of several health problems. He could not speak loudly enough to preach publicly. For many years he also suffered from severe arthritis, poor eyesight, and a stomach ailment. For several years Leopold Mandic taught patrology, the study of the Church Fathers, to the clerics of his province, but he is best known for his work in the confessional, where he sometimes spent 13-15 hours a day. Several bishops sought out his spiritual advice. Leopold's dream was to go to the Orthodox Christians and work for the reunion of Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. His health never permitted it. Leopold often renewed his vow to go to the Eastern Christians; the cause of unity was constantly in his prayers. At a time when Pope Pius XII said that the greatest sin of our time is “to have lost all sense of sin,” Leopold Mandic had a profound sense of sin and an even firmer sense of God's grace awaiting human cooperation. Leopold Mandic, who lived most of his life in Padua, died on July 30, 1942, and was canonized in 1982. In the Roman liturgy his feast is celebrated on July 30. Reflection Saint Francis of Assisi advised his followers to “pursue what they must desire above all things, to have the Spirit of the Lord and His holy manner of working” (Rule of 1223, Chapter 10)—words that Leopold lived out. When the Capuchin minister general wrote his friars on the occasion of Leopold's beatification, he said that this friar's life showed “the priority of that which is essential.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Friends of the Rosary,Today, May 1, Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph the Worker.St. Joseph educated Jesus and patiently schooled him in carpentry. By the daily labor, offered to God with patience and joy, St. Joseph provided for the necessities of his holy spouse and of the Incarnate Son of God, and thus became an example to all laborers.“Work was the daily expression of love in the life of the Family of Nazareth,” explained Saint John Paul II.The feast of St. Joseph the Worker was established by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to Christianize the concept of labor and to give all workmen a model and protector. Pope Pius XII expressed the hope that this feast would accentuate the dignity of labor and would bring a spiritual dimension to labor unions. "Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve, since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares," said Leo XIII.Alleluia! Christ is Risen!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!

Send us Fan MailWork can feel like pressure, identity, or even fear. We slow down and look at a different lens: Saint Joseph the Worker, the quiet carpenter of Nazareth who provided for Jesus and Mary and shows us how ordinary labor can become a living prayer. If you're carrying anxiety about your job, your finances, or the weight of providing for a family, Joseph's steady, silent faith offers a grounded kind of hope.We talk through why the Church celebrates Saint Joseph the Worker on May 1, including Pope Pius XII's 1955 institution of the feast, and how this day highlights Catholic social teaching on the dignity of work. From commutes and paperwork to changing diapers and cleaning kitchens, we explore how honest tasks can be sanctified when we unite them to Christ with humility, integrity, and love. We also reflect on Joseph's biblical role as protector and provider, his obedience to God's guidance, and what his silence teaches about discernment and trust in divine providence.You'll come away with practical next steps for Catholic devotion: turning to Saint Joseph's intercession for workers and families, deepening prayer at home with sacramentals, and staying close to the sacraments and the Eucharist.

54 And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent : Unde huic sapientia haec, et virtutes? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:Nonne hic est fabri filius? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? unde ergo huic omnia ista? 57 And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis : Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua. 58 And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.[55] "His brethren": These were the children of Mary the wife of Cleophas, sister to our Blessed Lady, ([Matt 27:56], [John 19:25]) and therefore, according to the usual style of the Scripture, they were called brethren, that is, near relations to our Saviour.Work, imposed on man as a penalty, is transformed into a blessing through his communion with the life and work and death of Jesus Christ, a communion he effected by the active part he takes in the Sacrifice and Communion of the Mass---with St Joseph as the model and patron. This feast was instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1956.

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 283 The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph the Worker The Story of Saint Joseph the Worker To foster deep devotion to Saint Joseph among Catholics, and in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of Joseph the Worker in 1955. This feast extends the long relationship between Joseph and the cause of workers in both Catholic faith and devotion. Beginning in the Book of Genesis, the dignity of human work has long been celebrated as a participation in the creative work of God. By work, humankind both fulfills the command found in Genesis to care for the earth (Gn 2:15) and to be productive in their labors. Saint Joseph, the carpenter and foster father of Jesus, is but one example of the holiness of human labor. Jesus, too, was a carpenter. He learned the trade from Joseph and spent his early adult years working side-by-side in Joseph's carpentry shop before leaving to pursue his ministry as preacher and healer. In his encyclical Laborem Exercens, Pope John Paul II stated: “the Church considers it her task always to call attention to the dignity and rights of those who work, to condemn situations in which that dignity and those rights are violated, and to help to guide [social] changes so as to ensure authentic progress by man and society.” Joseph is held up as a model of such work. Pius XII emphasized this when he said, “The spirit flows to you and to all men from the heart of the God-man, Savior of the world, but certainly, no worker was ever more completely and profoundly penetrated by it than the foster father of Jesus, who lived with Him in closest intimacy and community of family life and work.” Reflection To capture the devotion to Saint Joseph within the Catholic liturgy, in 1870, Pope Pius IX declared Saint Joseph the patron of the universal Church. In 1955, Pope Pius XII added the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. This silent saint, who was given the noble task of caring and watching over the Virgin Mary and Jesus, now cares for and watches over the Church and models for all the dignity of human work.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 280 The Saint of the day is Saint Peter Chanel Saint Peter Chanel's Story Anyone who has worked in loneliness, with great adaptation required and with little apparent success, will find a kindred spirit in Peter Chanel. Born in France, Saint Peter Chanel's interest in the missions began in school, when he read letters missionaries to America sent back home. As a young priest, Peter revived a parish in a “bad” district by the simple method of showing great devotion to the sick. Wanting to be a missionary, he joined the Society of Mary, the Marists, at 28. Obediently, he taught in the seminary for five years. Then, as superior of seven Marists, he traveled to Western Oceania. The bishop accompanying the missionaries left Peter and a brother on Futuna Island northeast of Fiji, promising to return in six months. He was gone five years. Meanwhile, Saint Peter Chanel struggled with this new language and mastered it, making the difficult adjustment to life with whalers, traders, and warring natives. Despite little apparent success and severe want, he maintained a serene and gentle spirit, plus endless patience and courage. A few natives had been baptized, a few more were being instructed. When the chieftain's son asked to be baptized, persecution by the chieftain reached a climax. Father Chanel was clubbed to death. Within two years after his death, the whole island became Catholic and has remained so. He was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954. Saint Peter Chanel is the first martyr of Oceania and its patron. Reflection Suffering for Christ means suffering because we are like Christ. Very often the opposition we meet is the result of our own selfishness or imprudence. We are not martyrs when we are “persecuted” by those who merely treat us as we treat them. A Christian martyr is one who, like Christ, is simply a witness to God's love, and brings out of human hearts the good or evil that is already there.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of Readings Tuesday in the Octave of Easter Lectionary: 262 The Saint of the day is Saint John Baptist de La Salle Saint John Baptist de La Salle's Story Complete dedication to what he saw as God's will for him dominated the life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. In 1950, Pope Pius XII named him patron of schoolteachers for his efforts in upgrading school instruction. As a young 17th-century Frenchman, John had everything going for him: scholarly bent, good looks, noble family background, money, refined upbringing. At the early age of 11, he received the tonsure and started preparation for the priesthood, to which he was ordained at 27. He seemed assured then of a life of dignified ease and a high position in the Church. But God had other plans for Saint John Baptist de La Salle, which were gradually revealed to him in the next several years. During a chance meeting with Monsieur Adrien Nyel, he became interested in the creation of schools for poor boys in Rheims, where he was stationed. Though the work was extremely distasteful to him at first, he became more involved in working with the deprived youths. Once convinced that this was his divinely appointed mission, Saint John Baptist de La Salle threw himself wholeheartedly into the work, left home and family, abandoned his position as canon at Rheims, gave away his fortune, and reduced himself to the level of the poor to whom he devoted his entire life. The remainder of his life was closely entwined with the community of religious men he founded, the Brothers of the Christian School (also called Christian Brothers or De La Salle Brothers). This community grew rapidly and was successful in educating boys of poor families, using methods designed by John. It prepared teachers in the first training college for teachers and also set up homes and schools for young delinquents of wealthy families. The motivating element in all these endeavors was the desire to become a good Christian. Yet even in his success, John did not escape experiencing many trials: heart-rending disappointment and defections among his disciples, bitter opposition from the secular schoolmasters who resented his new and fruitful methods, and persistent opposition from the Jansenists of his time, whose moral rigidity and pessimism about the human condition John resisted vehemently all his life. Afflicted with asthma and rheumatism in his last years, he died on Good Friday at age 68, and was canonized in 1900. Reflection Complete dedication to one's calling by God, whatever it may be, is a rare quality. Jesus asks us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30b, emphasis added). Paul gives similar advice: “Whatever you do, do from the heart…” (Colossians 3:23).Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Second Week of Lent Lectionary: 234 The Saint of the day is Saint Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes Saint Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes' Story Mary Ann grew close to God and his people during her short life. The youngest of eight, Mary Ann was born in Quito, Ecuador, which had been brought under Spanish control in 1534. She joined the Secular Franciscans and led a life of prayer and penance at home, leaving her parents' house only to go to church and to perform some work of charity. She established in Quito a clinic and a school for Africans and indigenous Americans. When a plague broke out, she nursed the sick and died shortly thereafter. Saint Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950. The liturgical feast of Saint Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes is celebrated on May 28. Reflection Francis of Assisi overcame himself and his upbringing when he kissed the man afflicted with leprosy. If our self-denial does not lead to charity, the penance is being practiced for the wrong reason. The penances of Mary Ann made her more sensitive to the needs of others and more courageous in trying to serve those needs.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Why Tucker Carlson And Candace Owens Adopted the Most Virulently Antisemitic Denominations of Christianity: Interview With Rabbi Tovia Singer Rabbi Tovia Singer, a leading expert on Christian theology and counter-missionary work, is warning of what he describes as a troubling rise in antisemitic rhetoric among some high-profile conservative commentators, naming Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens as examples. In a recent interview with podcaster Alan Skorski, Singer said he is increasingly concerned that voices once seen as part of a pro-Israel conservative coalition are now echoing themes long associated with antisemitic conspiracy theories. Singer, whose work has focused for decades on countering Christian proselytizing aimed at Jews, discussed the evolution of Christian Zionism, calling it a relatively modern movement that has become a powerful force in American politics. He estimated that about one in five Americans now identifies as a Christian Zionist, making it one of the country's largest political blocs. The rabbi traced the roots of Christian antisemitism back to early church history, citing anti-Jewish writings by figures such as St. John Chrysostom and the role of Pope Pius XII during the Holocaust — often criticized by historians for his silence in the face of Nazi atrocities. Singer said antisemitic teachings were embedded for centuries across Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. He linked those historical patterns to modern conspiracy thinking, referencing the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forged document from the early 1900s that falsely claimed Jews were plotting world domination. Singer said echoes of those ideas can now be heard in some contemporary political commentary that portrays Jews as wielding outsized control over media, finance and government. Singer was particularly critical of Candace Owens, describing her embrace of a traditionalist strain of Catholicism that rejects the reforms of the Second Vatican Council as deeply alarming. He said that version of the faith revives doctrines portraying Jews as rejected by God and permanently stripped of their covenant — ideas he called both theologically dangerous and politically combustible. Owens converted after her marriage to political activist George Farmer and amid public splits with prominent Jewish conservatives such as Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager, Singer noted. By contrast, Singer praised the late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, whom he described as exceptional among evangelical leaders for defending not only Israel but the Jewish people themselves. Singer said Kirk's influence reshaped the conservative movement and predicted that, had he lived, he could have become a presidential contender within a decade. Kirk was assassinated in September 2025, and Singer said there is now an internal struggle over his political legacy. He added that President Donald Trump remains firmly pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, describing that stance as consistent with the values of the Trump family. Singer reserved some of his sharpest criticism for Tucker Carlson, accusing the former Fox News host of hostility toward Israel and contempt for Christian Zionists. He pointed to Carlson's interview with Palestinian pastor Munther Isaac, who accused Israel of persecuting Christians in Bethlehem. Singer disputed that claim, noting that Bethlehem is under Palestinian Authority control and that its Christian population has fallen dramatically over the past half-century — from about 80% to roughly 5% — largely because of emigration driven by political and economic conditions, not Israeli policy. Carlson, who now hosts a widely followed podcast after leaving Fox News, has said he identifies as an Episcopalian but rarely attends church. Singer ended the interview with pointed irony. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 15JAN2025 - PODCAST
