In 1139, an Irish archbishop knelt in Rome and saw every pope who would ever sit on the throne of Peter. He wrote the visions down as 112 short phrases, then the manuscript vanished for 450 years. When it resurfaced, historians checked the list against history. Pope after pope matched. The list ends with a name no pope has ever dared to take, followed by the destruction of Rome and Judgment Day. Francis died in 2025. A new pope took his place, and the city kept standing. But hidden inside the original Latin is a second countdown, one that points to a specific year: 2027. We trace the prophecy from a candlelit chapel to a four-hundred-year-old forgery, and ask why it keeps landing on the truth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Colm Flynn, a reporter with a global Catholic media group tells Oliver about reporting on Popes and interviewing the faithful.

Back in May, Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas”—a surprisingly forceful call-out of dehumanizing technology, Big Tech oligarchs, and an economic order that casts the few as gods and the many as disposable. To talk about this work (and Aaron's growing Catholicism-envy, and the utterly pathetic “faith” of J.D. Vance), we invited Matthew Sitman, co-host of the great Know Your Enemy Podcast and official Catholic sage of the erudite left, who walks us through this era of moral leadership from the Catholic Church. This is a good one. We swear, so help us God!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Memorial of St. Benedict (480-547), the father of Christian monasticism.St. Benedict was born in Nursia, Italy, in 480 and, after being educated in Rome, left the world to live as a solitary hermit at Subiaco. He organized a form of monastic life in twelve small monasteries. Under his guidance, as abbot, the monks vowed to seek God and devoted themselves to work and prayer.A few years later, St. Benedict left the district of Subiaco to found the abbey of Monte Cassino on the heights of Campania. There, he wrote his famous Rule, the monks' program of life, in which the Roman genius and the monastic wisdom of the Christian world are wonderfully combined.His rule prescribed common sense, a life of moderate asceticism, prayer, study, and work, and community life under one superior. It stressed obedience, stability, and zeal, and made the Divine Office the center of monastic life; it would affect spiritual and monastic life in the West for centuries to come.While ruling his monks (most of whom, including Benedict, were not ordained), he counseled rulers and Popes, ministered to the poor and destitute around him, and tried to repair the ravages of the Lombard invasion led by Totila.For St. Benedict, the fundamental, and even more, the sole objective of existence is the search for God: "Quaerere Deum." He knew that when the believer enters into a profound relationship with God, he cannot be content with living in a mediocre way, with a minimalist ethic and superficial religiosity.In this light, the faithful better the expression that Benedict took from St. Cyprian, and that is summarized in his Rule (IV, 21): Nihil amori Christi praeponere. Prefer nothing to the love of Christ.Associated with the life of the saint and worn on a Rosary, the Saint Benedict Medal is used by many faithful as a sacramental for spiritual protection against evil and temptation, and as a prayer of exorcism against Satan. The primary prayer associated with the Saint Benedict medal is an exorcism prayer, often represented by initials on the medal, which translates to: "May the Holy Cross be my light; May the dragon never be my guide. Begone, Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities. What you offer is evil; Drink the poison yourself!". 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!

For centuries, popes were far more than spiritual leaders. They negotiated treaties, crowned rulers, excommunicated kings, and sometimes reshaped European politics. But when did the papacy reach the height of its political power? Why did that power decline? And why do modern popes still find themselves at odds with political leaders—from Henry VIII to today's presidents? Historian Roger Collins traces nearly two thousand years of papal history to explain how the relationship between the papacy and political power has continually evolved.

In a world flooded with thousands of competing voices — each claiming to represent “biblical Christianity” with their favorite proof texts — how do you actually tell authentic, orthodox Christianity from heresy? From the Gnostics and Arians of the early centuries to today's endless online teachers and influencers, the problem is as old as the Church itself. In this episode we explore one of the clearest and most reliable answers the Church has ever had: the ancient principle captured by St. Ambrose — “Where Peter is, there is the Church.” We unpack Jesus' own words to Peter in Matthew 16, the witness of the Church Fathers, and the crucial distinction between the individual pope and the papacy itself. Along the way we address how this visible criterion for orthodoxy played out in history — from anti-popes to the East-West split — and why it still matters in our age of doctrinal noise and personal brands. Popes fall on a bell curve like the rest of us, but the office Christ established remains the living anchor that keeps the faith one. If the question of authority and the pope has been the final hurdle in your journey toward the Catholic Church, this conversation offers honest clarity and genuine encouragement. The same Peter who denied Christ three times was still entrusted with the keys — a reminder that the Church has always been God's mercy at work through imperfect instruments.

Do you understand why there is a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus? Maybe you wonder why there would be a devotion to a heart. Father Tim Grumbach joins Trending with Timmerie to break down the incredible devotion to the Sacred Heart and how it is rooted in Sacred Scripture, the tradition of the Church, and in the writings of Popes. Timmerie also discusses the incredible science behind Eucharistic miracles and what they have to do with the heart of Christ. Do you struggle to believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist? Celebrate the month of June dedicated to the Eucharist and the Sacred Heart! Resources mentioned: Haurietis Aquas- Encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus (May 15, 1956) | PIUS XII Listen to the podcast: Month of the Eucharist & Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is more than a symbol.  Jesus truly loves us with his heart.  This love is fully human: emotional, warm, tender, encouraging.  This love is fully divine: all powerful, infinite, eternal.   To appreciate this love we need to live in it and pray about it.  Let's "enter into the Sacred Heart of Jesus," as saints and Popes alike have encouraged us.  There we find new strength for our own love of God and others.

As Pope Pope Leo XIV prepares for his visit to Valencia, one of Spain's greatest religious mysteries is once again back in the spotlight: the search for the true Holy Grail. And surprisingly, Spain has not one… but two famous chalices, both believed by some historians and believers to be the authentic cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper.The best known contender is kept inside Valencia Cathedral. Known as the Holy Chalice of Valencia, this small dark red agate cup has a story worthy of a Hollywood movie. Tradition says Saint Peter took it from Jerusalem to Rome, where early Christians protected it during periods of persecution. Later, during the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century, the relic was secretly moved across northern Spain, hidden in monasteries deep in the Pyrenees before eventually arriving in Valencia in the 1400s.What makes this grail especially fascinating is that several Popes, including Saint John Paul II and Benedict XVI, have actually used it during Mass. While the Vatican has never officially confirmed it as the authentic Holy Grail, historians agree that parts of the cup date back to the time of Christ.But Valencia is not alone. In the city of León, inside the ancient Basílica de San Isidoro, another chalice challenges Valencia 's claim. Known as the Chalice of Doña Urraca, researchers created worldwide headlines after suggesting it may also have travelled from Jerusalem through Egypt before reaching medieval Spain through royal alliances and Christian kingdoms.Faith, history, politics, and legend all collide in these mysterious cups. Whether authentic or not, Spain has become one of the world's most unexpected guardians of one of Christianity's greatest legends.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles the topsy turvy turbulent world as he continues to consider the historical times of the past as he relates it to the times of today to reflect that much has not changed.  Last week he spoke of the time of the two popes: Pope Gregory the Tenth and Pope Martin the Fourth.  This week he continues that exploration as he highlights the historical impact of each of these Popes and how they impacted the Church: one unifying it and the other dividing it in greater detail, touching on the crusades and the filioque controversy.   St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

Life keeps happening. Pope Sixtus is the next name on the docket and I will get it out by July. Another fascinating history if not as long as Leo or Gregory. I have promised a former student to read along with her: Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, Fathers and Sons by Turgenev, and Paradise Lost by you know who. So I will attempt to drop a few thoughts about that sometime over the course of June. Another topic: Pope Leo's first encyclical. After reading the first ten paragraphs, I am very struck by his distributist (that word is clearly lurking in the background) interpretation of Nehemiah, the story he presents as paradigmatic for human economic effort arranged in a way consistent with human nature and our relationship with God. Surely Bill and I can find some grist to grind there when I get him corralled and back at a microphone.

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 "Hollywood Edition" of the Great Rosary Campaign, let us pray for the conversion of one of the world's greatest directors, Christopher Nolan, who famously directed movies like "The Dark Knight" and "Interstellar." Out of gratitude for his great filmmaking, let us now pray for his coming to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church in return, and that his gifts may be put in the service of Christ.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

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles the topsy turvy turbulent world leading him to the realization that the human race is messed up.  Fr. Koys wrinkles your brain to consider the historical times of the past as he relates it to the times of today to reflect that much has not changed.  He contemplates the time of the two popes: Pope Gregory the Tenth and Pope Martin the Fourth.  He discusses the historical impact of each of these Popes and how they impacted the Church: one unifying it and the other dividing it. He uses lessons from history to relate to our times today pointing out that we should learn from history and repeat the good and not the bad. He surmises that morals today are basic and should hold fast but unfortunately it is the other way around for many in the church today. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

Two weeks ago, we celebrated Mothers' Day in order to honor our physical mothers, who brought us into this world and nourished and took care of us when we were children.During the whole of this month of May, we honor our spiritual mother, Mary, Our Lady, who takes care of all our spiritual needs as mediatrix of all the graces we receive.With today's great feast of Pentecost, we honor yet a third mother, we have yet another Mother's Day in the month of May. The mother we honor today is Holy Mother Church.The Church is our mother because she is the bride of Our Lord Jesus Christ and is so united with Christ that we say she is His Mystical Body. They are, as it were, two in one flesh.United together, Our Lord and His bride bring forth children unto eternal life. They do this by governing, teaching and sanctifying their children, that is, Catholics. We are born into new life by baptism, we are healed by confession and we are nourished by the Holy Eucharist. Our Mother the Church does all these things for us.Today's feast is like the birthday of our mother the Church. While Our Lord is the head of the Church, the Holy Ghost is her soul. He descended upon the Apostles today and gave them the spiritual gifts they needed to fulfill their priestly functions. The day of Pentecost is the day when they began their mission of going to all nations to baptize people and bring them into the Church. It was the day that the Church came forth and manifested herself to the world.We have a duty to love all of our mothers, and Holy Mother Church is no exception. We must be grateful to be Catholics and desire to do our part, in our life, to assist our mother the Church.This is all the more true today, when our mother is being attacked. What we are witnessing today has often been compared to Our Lord's Passion. In past centuries, the Church at times resembled Our Lord in His public life or even His triumph over His enemies. But today, she resembles Our Lord on the Cross, in that she is wounded and being disfigured by her enemies.One of the most painful aspects of this passion is that, just as Our Lord was betrayed and abandoned by the Apostles, so too the Church today is being betrayed by the successors of the Apostles. The Church remains the Spotless Bride of Christ in herself, but her external appearance has been disfigured by false teaching and bad liturgies.It is like a difficult situation in a family. Consider if the sons of a family started honoring other women as their mother than their actual mother. This would take away from their proper mother the honor due to her. Say they brought those women over their house, gave them presents, and told them they loved them, all in the presence of their own mother.This is similar to today's Popes showing all this respect to false religions: kissing Korans, hosting Pachamama idols, honoring fake Anglican prelates, praying with leaders of all different religions. These things make it seem like these false religions are able to be mothers of souls, as if they can lead souls to Heaven, as if they can do only what the bride of Christ can do.

Patrick opens the hour with a reflection on the mystery of the Holy Trinity, then answers listener calls about salvation, confession, politicians and Communion, praying for souls, and why only Catholics can receive the Eucharist. He offers clear advice, personal experiences, and practical apologetics resources from his own ongoing article collection, weaving in insights on everything from the Divine Mercy Chaplet to the fate of Lazarus after resurrection. Unexpected questions spark honest, sometimes emotional exchanges; Patrick never shies from Catholic teaching or tough conversations.

The President has picked a fight with the Bishop of Rome, Pope Leo X.  Putting aside some of the distasteful elements of language and hubris, we ask where this fits in with notions of church and state in a democracy.  What is the constitutional doctrine - is it “separation?” Where does it come from, historically and legally?  A general theory of such things can help us make sense - well, maybe not of everything that is said these days, but perhaps of the numerous cases that are percolating to and arriving at the Supreme Court.  And in a special treat, we continue our conversation with Sarah Isgur on her new book, Last Branch Standing, and look more deeply at the patterns of judicial behavior that have emerged from several of the justices, among other things.

Covered the waterfront today to be sure! Talked about Trump's healing meme, the Pope and the Muslims, and Joel Webbon playing footsie with Catholics on the Reformation, all because...the Jews!

Patrick plunges into complex questions on faith, authority, and the Church’s handling of Scripture canon, correcting misconceptions about hidden biblical texts. He fields callers fired up over papal political comments and the friction between personal conviction and Catholic teaching, weaving listener stories of confusion and frustration about practices like Friday abstinence, lay blessings, and trust in leadership. Throughout the stream of discussion, Patrick keeps unwavering focus on charity, unity, and the core essentials of faith while urging prayer, not polemics. Mary (email) - My nephew is in prison and is struggling with his faith (00:56) Dan - Good job with all the calls you took about Pope Leo and Trump. I support what you said. (09:22) Chinto - I dropped my son off at school and I blessed him, but then the teacher asked if she could get a blessing from me. Can I give her a blessing? (11:39) Jamie - I don't understand the issue with Pope Leo's words. As the Vicar of Christ, he has to have the stance against war. Where does the desire for the pope to advocate war come from? (15:39) Chad - Pope and Trump: If you look at this through a biblical lens, it is what Jesus went through with the government in His time. (24:27) John - What do the US Bishops say about what to do on Fridays when we’re not in Lent? (26:32) Jim – The three previous Popes before Leo said that the United Nations was the only hope for peace. That shows the church as having a tendency to look to government to help bring peace. (28:45) Steven - When God Himself was getting Moses out of Egypt, He destroyed the Pharoh’s army. So how can the Pope say that War is bad? (41:12)

If you thought "unconditional surrender" was a nuanced diplomatic opening, you're in for a wild ride. Stephanie Miller breaks down the latest chaotic installment of U.S.-Iran relations, where the White House is playing a game of geopolitical poker with a deck that seems to be all jokers. Between the President's "10 conditions" for a deal—which somehow involve both lifting sanctions and demanding total control over the Strait of Hormuz—and the truly bizarre pivot to threatening the Vatican, the world stage has never felt more like a high-stakes improv set. She also gets into the weeds on the "D-word" (the draft) and what this military posturing actually means for the future of young Americans.
