The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For the next 5 weeks—going through Advent, Christmas, and heading into the New Year—we will be praying for the conversion of various tech leaders who are spearheading AI. We are also praying that, alongside any potential benefits that may come from AI, the evil that may result from it may be mitigated for the sake of the salvation of souls.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of the CEO of Meta (Facebook), Mark ZuckerbergThe SUGGESTED PENANCE this week, while we remain in Advent, is a 24 hour water fast (adjusted for your state in life).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

Friends of the Rosary,Today, November 10, the Church of Christ celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Loreto, a title that refers to the Holy House of Loreto.This is the house, in the Holy Land, in which Mary was born, and where the Annunciation took place.Tradition says that angels miraculously transported it first to Tersato, Dalmatia, in 1291, then to Recanati, Italy, in 1294, and finally to Loreto, in Italy, a small town located three hours from Rome, where it has been for over six centuries.Today, the 14th-century Shrine of Loreto is one of the most famous Marian shrines in Europe and a pilgrimage center. Many miracles are attributed to this sanctuary of the Holy House.Popes have always held the in special esteem, and it is under their direct authority and protection.Ave MariaCome, 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!

Pope Leo is on his first official visit abroad, and there are already signs he's willing to use his position to speak out on controversial matters. His recent comments about abortion and the rights of migrants have created headlines in the United States, and raised eyebrows from some conservatives who see the first American pope challenging President Trump's policies. It wouldn't be the first time that a pope has weighed in on politics. From Nazism to communism and the Cold War, from refugees to climate change, popes have used their position to influence global affairs. In this episode we speak to author and presenter Edward Stourton, who has covered religious affairs and the USA extensively for the BBC, about what power Pope Leo XIV has, and what lessons he can learn from his predecessors.

In this episode, I get down and dirty with a topic that triggers all the rule-followers and religious gatekeepers: salvation. Not the flannelgraph-Jesus kind where you prayed the “magic words” at age seven and then spent the next 30 years terrified you did it wrong. Nope. I'm talking about real, liberating, soul-exploding salvation.This one's especially for you if you've ever stayed in an abusive marriage because you thought God would be mad if you left. If you're exhausted from trying to please “godly” authority figures who think they are mini Popes. If you've prayed the salvation prayer 73 times just to be sure it “took.”Key Takeaways:Belief isn't a checklist. It's not about doing the right things, following the right leaders, or avoiding the wrong music. It's about trusting that Christ already did it all.The gift of salvation is already yours. Yes, even if you cuss, leave your abuser, or buy non-organic lettuce.Many Christians are still hoping for a salvation that is already theirs. Why? Because we've been taught to fear God more than we trust Him. The verse “God hates divorce” has been weaponized. (Psst…it doesn't say what you think it does, anyway. Listen to find out what the Bible actually says in Malachi.)You can experience the joy of salvation the moment you believe it's real. Like full-body joy.

Pope Pius XI instituted this Feast of Christ the King* in 1925. Of course, the Pope wasn't inventing anything new; that's not the way Popes operate, or shouldn't. The Pope is the guardian of the deposit of faith but at times in history a Pope has had to, for various reasons, make explicit what has always been believed. Often the best way to do that, is to enter the dogma into the sacred liturgy through a feast day.Christ said Himself that He was a king, and for this He entered the world, when He was being interrogated by Pontius Pilate. So it was not invented by any member of the Church at any time in history.Today's feast calls us to honour our King, give Him our homage, and to be faithful to His rule.As the Cristeros of Mexico shouted when they were fighting against a godless and masonic government, in the same decade of the 1920's VIVA CRISTO REY!* I made an error in the podcast by naming Pope Benedict XV as doing this. My apologies.

Author Xavier Ayral argues that the Catholic Church is now living through a time foreseen by mystics, saints, and Marian apparitions, an era of confusion, apostasy, and deception. Citing La Salette, Fatima, Marie-Julie Jahenny, and more, he claims these prophecies foretold two anti-popes and a temporary takeover of the Church by false shepherds. Ayral explains how long-hidden Vatican documents and seer testimonies match today's liturgical chaos and doctrinal ambiguity. He connects the present crisis to Catechism 675–677, describing it as the Church's “final trial” before a divine restoration.U.S. residents!

Walker and Peake rain on Popes parade and raise some genuine questions about the future of his tenure. Brandon Garrison is the second most efficient player on the team?

Most people think of Freemasonry as a harmless fraternity… but the Church has condemned it for centuries. Popes, saints, and exorcists have warned that Masonic oaths, rituals, and symbolism directly oppose the Kingship of Christ. Many families today carry wounds, oppression, or patterns of sin without realizing the spiritual roots go back generations.Today we talk about:    •    Why the Church has always condemned Freemasonry    •    The spiritual dangers of Masonic oaths and rituals    •    How involvement—even from past generations—can affect your family spiritually    •    Signs that a “Freemasonic curse” or generational oppression may be present    •    How to uncover your family's history and identify hidden involvement    •    Steps to spiritually defend your home and break these chains through the Sacraments, prayer, and the authority of ChristThis episode is for every Catholic man serious about protecting his home, reclaiming his lineage, and standing in the authority God has given him.If you've ever felt like your family carries a heavy spiritual weight, unexplained division, or patterns of sin that seem to “run in the bloodline,” this conversation will open your eyes.Deliverance Prayer against the freemasonic curse: https://www.catholicexorcism.org/deacon-prayers-1/breaking-the-freemasonic-curse-prayerNew Episodes Every Sunday Join The Catholic Warrior Coaching Program Here: catholicwarrior.comSubscribe to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicwarriorpodcast Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catholicwarriorpodcast/?hl=en

Today we are celebrating the feast in honor of Pope Saint Leo the Great, the first of 14 Popes named Leo. He's another example of what the Pope's role is for Christians. Fr. Kubicki teaches more about this on today's reflection.

Mel Kerr returns with peak chaos: a perfectly innocent (but very wrong) theory about the Vatican's smoke signals, the fickle end of Good Morning, and the glamorous gigs that followed… Canesten Fungal Toenail and Depend adult diapers (hey, the rollover fees slap). Then we pivot to Mel's second life officiating weddings & funerals—culminating in a stunning slip on Waiheke Island where she pronounced a lesbian couple “husband and wife.” Oof.

The Great Western Schism is one of the most fascinating and dramatic stories in the history of the church. And yet, many people have never heard of it. This is a story of saints against saints, councils against popes, and rival popes vying for power. For skeptics, it's proof the emperor has no clothes. For committed Catholics, it's a reminder that the church has been through far worse in its past than in its present. For everyone, it's a story worth knowing. Videos like these are some of the most difficult for me to make.

In this first of two programmes, Hannah French explores the lives of two 16th Century Popes: Leo X and Clement VII, and the music that surrounded them.Giovanni & Giulio were cousins, brought up together in the wealthy and influential Florentine household of the Medicis. Giovanni's father, Lorenzo "The Magnificent" and his brother Giuliano were the rulers of the Florentine Republic. In 1478, though, Giuliano de Medici was murdered in Florence Cathedral as part of the Pazzi Conspiracy. As a result, young Giulio was brought up by his uncle. Both boys were guided into a career in the church, and because of the financial and political backing that came with the Medici name, it was clear they were both destined for high office.In 1513, Giovanni de Medici was elected as Pope Leo X. He made Rome a strong political power, and as a generous patron of the arts, he helped writers, poets, painters and musicians of the High Renaissance to flourish. But, his lavish tastes depleted the papal treasury, and made many enemies who accused him of being "engrossed in idle and selfish amusements". By 1517, would-be reformers in northern Europe had had enough of papal excesses, and Martin Luther published his 95 theses which were to be the start of the Protestant Reformation. The young Giovanni de Medici was said to have had a fine ear and a melodious voice, and "loved music to the pitch of fanaticism". It's possible he learned from the great Heinrich Isaac, who was the shining musical light in late 15th Century Florence. As Pope Leo X he expanded the Sistine Chapel choir, and procured the services of professional singers, instrumentalists and composers from all over Europe.

Hannah French with the second of two programmes exploring the lives of two 16th Century Popes: Leo X and Clement VII, and the music that surrounded them.Having been brought up together in the wealthy and influential Florentine household of the Medicis, cousins Giovanni & Giulio were always destined for greatness.As Pope Leo X, Giovanni was a lavish patron of the arts. He sanctioned major renovations on St Peter's Basilica in Rome, extended the Sistine Chapel Choir, promoted the study of Greek, Arabic & Hebrew, commissioned works from artists such as Raphael & Peruzzi, and maintained a private orchestra as well as the official papal musicians. In order to fund these lavish artistic interests, Leo X encouraged the purchase of indulgences - remissions of the temporal punishment for sins – which could only be afforded by the most wealthy. Leo was also portrayed by his opponents as a man of gross excess; there were suggestions of sexual impropriety, favouritism and immorality, all of which were fuel to the fire of the burgeoning Protestant Reformation in northern Europe. Needless to say, Leo spent way above the papal means, and when he died suddenly in 1521, the papal treasury was 400,000 ducats in debt. Leo's right-hand man throughout his papacy was his beloved cousin, Giulio de Medici. Within three months of Leo's election as Pope, Giulio had been made Archbishop of Florence, and just three more months down the line, he was appointed Cardinal of Santa Maria in Dominica. By 1517, Cardinal Giulio was made Vice-Chancellor of the Church (ie, second in command). He became deeply involved in the politics of England, France and the Holy Roman Empire, which would eventually backfire on him spectacularly…When Cardinal Giulio was elected to the heady heights of the Papacy in 1523, as Pope Clement VII, little did he know the struggles that lay ahead. There was already the threat of the Lutherans from northern Europe and the Turks were making in-roads into the east. Plus, there was the childish squabbling of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and King Francis I of France, who both demanded the Pope choose a side, leading to the Sack of Rome in 1527. And six years later, he had Henry VIII's divorce to deal with. All of this while having to impose austerity measures in an attempt to pay off some of the debts left by his own cousin!Like his cousin, Pope Clement VII was also a gifted musician. It's likely he too learned from the great composer Heinrich Isaac while growing up in Florence, and over the years he had dealings with the likes of Nicolas Gombert, Jean Mouton, Philippe Verdelot and Costanzo Festa as the music of the High Renaissance swirled around him.

Shannon Wimp Schmidt joins Katie to explore the significance of the papacy, highlighting key teachings and defining moments from the past twelve popes—from Leo XIII at the turn of the twentieth century to Leo XIV today. Together they trace how the papacy has evolved through the personalities, styles, and themes each pope brought to their encyclicals and homilies, showing how the Lord continues to guide his Church. In the end, they consider a personal question: What role does the pope play in our individual faith journeys today? We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

September 29th, 2025:  St Michael the Archangel, Defend Us in Battle; St Michael & the Popes; Seraphic Angels; St Michael of the Army of God

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.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of "Sola Chad," a prominent anti-Catholic account on X (@sola_chad).The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.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

Our Lord said that some demons are only expelled by prayer with fasting (Mark 9:29). So in addition to the Rosary, we are asking everyone to take fasting far more seriously in light of the truly diabolical forces at work in our society.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.'
