During his papacy, Pope Francis encouraged the clergy to use the "digital continent" to broaden their evangelical work. They seem to have paid attention: over the last few years, a number of priests have launched themselves on social media, racking up millions of views. Just as Jesus is considered by many to be the first influencer in history, these modern-day priests declare they have the same goal: to bring more people into the Christian faith. Our Italy correspondents report.
"For 16 months, my body and mind shut down due to spiritual warfare. My doctor said, "I don't believe in your God, I believe in my medicine." ---------- Peter Nathan and his wife Christine from Australia, both of deep faith, experienced one brief encounter on the street that changed everything. In this extraordinary retelling of episode 243, a woman fixed Peter with what can only be described as a deliberate evil intention, and from that moment he entered a 16-month physical and mental shutdown. Priests were called. Prayers were offered. Nothing worked. Peter's psychiatrist dismissed the idea of spiritual warfare--until one specific Bible verse was spoken. The oppression lifted, and even the doctor's certainty began to unravel. A rare, sobering, and fascinating account of spiritual reality breaking through. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

This week we're exploring the life and death of Anneliese Michel, a case full of fear, misunderstanding, and way too many exorcisms. Along the way, we also end up talking about my newest ghost adventuees, why Hitler makes a lame demon, and how cultural panic spirals out of control. It's messy, it's haunting, and we're unpacking all of it.
You'd think with a new, charismatic pope that appears Catholic in his external behavior that this would turn around. But unfortunately this is the Francis effect, and it will continue long enough that it will become the Leo effect unless radical changes are made to how vocations are treated and how men are recruited for seminary.Sponsored by Fidei Email:https://www.fidei.emailSources:https://www.returntotradition.orgorhttps://substack.com/@returntotradition1Contact Me:Email: return2catholictradition@gmail.comSupport My Work:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/AnthonyStineSubscribeStarhttps://www.subscribestar.net/return-to-traditionBuy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/AnthonyStinePhysical Mail:Anthony StinePO Box 3048Shawnee, OK74802Follow me on the following social media:https://www.facebook.com/ReturnToCatholicTradition/https://twitter.com/pontificatormax+JMJ+#popeleoXIV #catholicism #catholicchurch #catholicprophecy#infiltration

I 1988 blev hård rock og heavy metal strakt yderligere ud, og i modsatrettede undergenrer - fra det mest poppede til det ekstremt brutale. Fra Bon Jovi til Napalm Death. Fra Death til Poison. Og så var der alle de forskelligartede, men mere klassiske metal-dyder hos bl.a. Megadeth, Metallica, Maiden, Ozzy, Pantera og Priest. I undergrunden lurede nye navne som Soundgarden og Nirvana, der måske snart kunne udgøre et alternativ til den traditionelle metalrock-lyd? Studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen går i bredden og dybden af metalåret 1988 sammen med stamgæsterne, Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. Nedslagspunkter: - Dave Mustaine og Megadeth indleder året med udgivelsen af 3. albummet “So Far, So Good… So What!”, der indeholder nummeret "In My Darkest Hour", inspireret af Cliff Burtons bortgang. - Metallica mindes Cliff Burton ved at skrue ned for bassen på bandets fjerde album “… and Justice For All”. Vores gæstepanel hylder dog problemfrit bandets evne til at lave gode numre, og til at tage skridtet videre fra det frygtindgydende album par, “Ride The Lightning” og “Master of Puppets”. - Et særligt samtaletema rundt Metallica anno ‘88 er den vitale udvikling af James Hetfields' vokal. - Michael Denner giver også sit besyv med om Metallicas fjerde album, og får lov at filosofere lidt over, hvordan Mercyful Fates fjerde udspil mon ville have lydt i 1988. - Denners grænse for hård metal går ved Slayer, som han sender til tælling i guldbajere på en café i det indre København. - Kommer Slayer så godt videre på årets album udspil, “South of Heaven”? Det mener deres gamle koncertkammerat Michael Stützer, som hylder bandets “kaos i hjertet”. - Vi tager verden rundt i den mest voldsomme metal, hvor Birmingham-bandet Napalm Death leverer den mest ekstreme metal på den anden side af Slayer. - Bay Area-thrashen gløder fortsat. I 1988 særligt med debutanterne Forbidden, og med album nr. 2 fra både Testament og Death Angel. - I Florida definerer Death fortsat deres nye stil, death metal. I New York udgiver Anthrax “State of Euphoria”, og besøger København med LA-bandet Suicidal Tendencies. - AC/DC kæmper fortsat med at lave det fede midt/sen-80'er album, men er i vanlig superb koncertform på turneen med albummet “Blow Up Your Video”. Rytmeguitarist Malcolm Young checker ind på en alkoholafvænningsklinik undervejs, og erstattes af nevøen Steve Young. - Ozzy introducerer ny guitarist i Zakk Wylde på “No Rest for the Wicked". Steffen kommer sig over fraværet af forgængeren Jake E. Lee, og både Steffen og Stützer kan omfavne dette femte Ozzy studiealbum. - Ozzy optræder også i smuk duet med Lita Ford, og forbereder en gæsteoptræden hos Gary Moore. - Vi kommer også omkring Iron Maidens syvende album, “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son”, og Seattle-bandet Queensryches gennembrudsalbum, “Operation Mindcrime”. - The Scorpions leverer fortsat fin heavy-hygge, mens Saxon forsøger sig med melodisk hard rock på deres niende studiealbum, “Destiny”. I LA hitter Poison med poppet glam metal på “Open Up and Say… Aah!”, mens Bon Jovi holder sig på hitlistetoppen med reference til deres ophavssted, “New Jersey”. - I Seattle-området lyder der nye rock-toner fra de albumdebuterede Soundgarden og singledebutanterne Nirvana. - Texas-bandet Pantera og deres nye forsanger Phil Anselmo sværger til den Judas Priest-tro metal på albummet “Power Metal”. - Judas Priest selv laver en del af deres 11. album, “Ram It Down” i Puk-studiet nær Randers. En fortsættelse af elektro-stilen fra “Turbo”, men også med heavy metal statementet… “Heavy metal”. - PS. Og så er Priests udskældte cover af Chuck Berry-klassikeren “Johnny B. Goode” faktisk i orden, mener både Steffen og Stützer. God lytning, og på genhør i seriens sidste afsnit, 1989, om cirka en uges tid!

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Father David Vard, a Kildare native and one of Ireland's youngest priests, who graduated seminary at just 25. Father David speaks openly about his journey to the priesthood, emphasizing the importance of faith and God in navigating life and expressing a willingness to embrace his beliefs, regardless of external judgment. With rare candour, Father David opens up about the loneliness he sometimes feels, the vow of celibacy and addresses criticism head-on, including being willing to be judged or ridiculed for his convictions. This is a conversation about spirituality as a personal journey, about growth through belief, and about the gift.LinksMy new thriller How It Falls Apart out now
The Lord's warning to the priests becomes severe as He condemns them for despising His name and offering defiled sacrifices. Their unfaithfulness has corrupted the covenant of Levi. Malachi then addresses the people's faithlessness and their casual approach to divorce. God is "wearied" by their sin, and He promises to send His messenger to purify His people with a refiner's fire. The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Malachi 2:1-3:5. To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacebuffalo.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh." Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In this episode, we are joined with Rabbi Daniel Rowe to unpack one of the most sensitive and misunderstood subjects in Torah: our ongoing relationship with Eisav and Yishmael. Are they eternal enemies, potential partners, or something more complex? Building on the theme from “Becoming a Nation of Priests” with Rabbi Yaakov Klein, Rabbi Rowe traces how the Torah and Chazal frame these two great civilizations as spiritual “cousins” whose roles are woven into creation itself. We explore how Christianity and Islam shifted the world from pagan cruelty toward a more Noahide, God-centered morality, why Jews are both uniquely loved and uniquely hated, and how antisemitism often masks a warped expectation that we live up to our mission. If you've ever wondered how to make sense of global events, Jewish destiny, and our role within these ancient relationships, this conversation will give you a framework that changes the way you see history and the present moment.Continue learning from Rabbi Daniel Rowe.· You can follow his shiurim and lectures on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RabbiDanielRowe· And stay connected to his ongoing Torah thoughts on Instagram: instagram.com/rabbidanielroweJoin the Conversation!

November 23, 2025: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. For some, this is a day called Christ the King Sunday, but as I say every year, that is not a title he would have ever claimed. As we heard in the Gospel, it was a title given to him by the oppressors who crucified him. No, Jesus would not be happy with this King business I believe, Jesus is Lord is enough, and was for centuries for his followers, as Christ the King wasn't even a thing until 1925. So, not Christ the King…but it is Advent. And we have practiced the original seven week Advent here at Christ Church since 2016, and as then, it seems so appropriate now, because Advent is about a people walking in darkness, but not a people without hope. The people are in crisis. Many live in fear. The country is divided against itself. People don't know which way to turn, how to take the next step, what to do, because the leaders have failed them. Certainly, this sounds like it is a time of darkness, and even very familiar – but I am not talking about the events in this country, at least not yet. I am talking about the passage in Jeremiah we heard this morning. If you were in doubt about whether Advent, from a lectionary point of view, is seven weeks long, just look again at our reading today from Jeremiah and the Canticle. Jeremiah begins with a stern warning from God for those in power that because they have abused their people, because they have not care for their flock, they will meet with God's wrath. Jeremiah had been speaking about the failure of leaders in the time of the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 bce. And the passage ends with a very Advent-y verse “The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch…” God clearly was not happy with the shepherds who failed their sheep. One of the things that our faith, our scriptures, make abundantly clear, is the importance of shepherds. And being a shepherd is about never forgetting that the focus of your work must always be on the welfare of the sheep. This is true, not only for those who watch over flocks, but for all kinds of leadership positions – from President to parent, from CEOs to church leaders. We don't have to have lived in the Ancient Near East to understand what can happen when shepherds fail in their work. We have borne witness to this in our lifetimes. Today, we can certainly understand what it must have felt like back in the days of Jeremiah to be a people divided, scattered, fearful of our leaders, and not sure what tomorrow will bring. Our own nation's leaders have not only failed to be good shepherds, it is far worse than that. They have actually turned on the sheep. Our country – once a beacon of freedom and democracy to the world – has entered into the dark shadows of oligarchy and systemic oppression. The President has put masked troops in the street shooting tear gas and pepper balls into crowds of citizens, and callously throwing people, including clergy, onto the pavement – arresting them for the crime of free speech. He is responsible for the execution of over 80 people without due process of law through drone strikes on boats in international waters. He has had thousands detained, including zip tying children (let that sink in), again without due process of law, and even deported many of them to foreign prisons notorious for their human rights abuses. He has dismissed the concern of over a thousand female victims of a child sex predator to protect his own hide, calling their abuse a hoax. And his government has stolen affordable access to healthcare for the poor to give money in tax breaks to the rich and powerful. And while some may feel this is less important – it goes to his misogyny and eroding of the freedom of the press – the silencing of those who courageously try to protect the flock from predators. He told one woman reporter who dared ask him a question, “Quiet Piggy!” Then he held a meeting at the White House with Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, known for his brutality, including the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a US citizen, by having him chopped up while still alive. When the President was asked about meeting with him by another reporter (also a woman) he called her “insubordinate.” Insubordinate – as though he is a king who cannot be questioned. And to another who asked directly about the murder of Khashoggi, he said “A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.” Things happen? Sure, a guy walks into a bathroom and things like a bone saw just kinda happen to him. Seriously. You can't make this stuff up. These are dark days we find ourselves walking in, to be sure. And it could make anyone feel like just pulling the covers over their heads and praying that things will change. That perhaps new leaders will emerge and make everything better in some distant future. But, that would be like reading only parts of this passage from Jeremiah – the beginning condemnation of the current leaders in the first two verses, and the promise of a new leader in the final verses, when what we need most to pay attention to today is everything in between. Because if we focus only on the current predicament, and the hope of new leadership, we miss what God intends for us, and it is something so very needed now. After condemning the current leaders, God then says “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock, and…I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing.” God declares “I will raise up shepherds…” Well, guess where God gets those new shepherds? From right within the flock! God intends to call from among the sheep new shepherds. As one commentator noted, “While [Jeremiah] opens with judgment and closes with a promise of a future leader who will save and protect the people, the larger book of Jeremiah does not let us — the people — off the hook as we wait.” So, both sheep and shepherds have responsibilities to the full flock. Everyone has a role to play, especially when we talk about our lives in Christ. Some are called to a dedicated shepherd role. Bishops are the shepherds for a diocese and Deacons assist in that work. Priests are the shepherds for a parish or other type of faith community. But what about the laity, the sheep? Well, that's what we hear about in the Song of Zachariah, the canticle, or for Latin nerds, the Benedictus, chanted so beautifully this morning by our choir. Zachariah, after the miraculous birth of his son John by his wife Elizabeth, had a lot to say. Now, you can understand why when we remember what the angel Gabriel did to him before this. See, back about nine months earlier, Zach was a priest, and it was his turn to serve in the temple. This was not an every week thing. There were a lot of them, and so maybe this was his one shot a year. So, he's back there doing his priestly work, burning some incense, as you do, when the angel Gabe pops in to tell him “Hey Zach! You and Liz are gonna have a baby! You will call him John, and he will be a great prophet, who will proclaim the coming of the Lord.” Now, Zach was a bit skeptical, after all, he and Liz were getting on in years. So, he says “Seriously? How is that gonna happen? My wife and I are already on Medicare for crying out loud.” Gabe was not pleased. “I am Gabriel – the best messenger God has! I came all this way to give you this awesome news and you doubt me?” Knowing priests love to talk, he made Zach mute until the baby was born. Which tells you that if an angel appears, even in flames like the movie Dogma, keep your doubts to yourself. So, as we know now, Liz did get pregnant. Her cousin Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to visit her, etc. Fast forward to today's passage, and that baby was just born. Zach's mouth was opened, and he wasn't holding back. He told all that had gathered to celebrate this birth what this miracle child would do. He told them that salvation was coming for all of them, and that John would be called a prophet, and prepare the way for the coming of Christ. That's a lot right there for this newborn. But there's more. John's prophetic witness would shine light “…on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.” This prophet John, through his witness in the world, would give light where there is darkness, and guide others toward peace. John would be a great prophet of God in a time of deep darkness. He was also an example to us all, most especially now. John, a sheep of God's flock, was made for such a time as he lived. And you know what? So are you. So is every single one of you. It is in times such as when John was born, such as what we are experiencing now, that light is needed most within the shadows of despair, longing, fear, and hate. And that is when God raises up prophets to carry the light of hope and love into a world of darkness and discord. While it is true that some will do this in particular calls to ordained life – all of us are called to be John – to be the prophets that guide others to the way of peace. And if you think about it, there is a shepherding quality to prophet work, right? If you are guiding others, you are a shepherd. And in the church, as all are part of the priesthood of all believers, so each of you is called to be both sheep and shepherd. That is our life as a part of the flock of God, most especially when the flock – the people of God, and the creation in which we dwell – are in danger, are being hurt, are living in fear. Folks, is it clear that we are in Advent – both in the church and in the world. And God is looking for prophets, for shepherds, to listen, to lead, and to love. Forget looking to someone else to do it – look in the mirror instead. Because God is calling you – here, now. In Advent most of all, we know that in the darkest of times, the light will always come. But it is up to each of us, following where the Holy Spirit leads, to be that light too – to be Christ's light shining in the world. And one way we do that is by what we will do here today. Later in this service, each of you will bring forward food for the those in need and your pledge cards – a commitment to stewardship of this place, out of which we bring the gospel message of hope to a world in need, and in which we are given restoration for our souls as we do this prophetic work of being shepherds in the world. The food, for both humans and animals, is our commitment to caring for the folk of God. The pledges are a commitment to be the prophet our Creator needs today, and proclaim from the highest hills, and the lowest valleys, that God loves everyone – no exceptions. They are a pledge to be the shepherd of a people who are lost, alone, or living in fear. They are a step in the longer journey of our life, and in the long history of shepherds and prophets of God. Long ago, God, through the prophet Jeremiah, lamented those called to be shepherds who failed their flock, who failed in God's mission and call for them, and declared that other shepherds would be raised up instead. And they were to the hope of all creation. Long ago, John was born with a call to prepare the way for the One who would bring light into the world. Today, we are the ones that God has raised up – born in baptism – not to prepare the way, but to be the way – to guide others, by the light of Christ shining in us and through us, into the path of peace. To be both the sheep of God's pasture, and the shepherd of others. These are dark and dangerous times, and this will not be easy work. And, so I want to leave you with these words of a 13th century woman who heard her own call to be a shepherd. She cast aside all she knew and left the wealthy life of her noble birth to follow Christ. She was Clare of Assisi, who started the monastic order known as the Poor Clares. On her deathbed, St. Clare offered this blessing – words that still ring out through the centuries, serving as a reminder that we never do this work alone. Christ is always our partner in our call. And so I offer them now to you to take into your heart as you leave here today to be the shepherds, the prophets, who light the way and guide others into the path of peace, the ones God calls for the sake of the world: “Live without fear: your Creator has made you whole, always walks with you, and loves you as a mother. So, follow the good road in peace, and may God's blessing remain with you always.” Amen.

It is 1927, and life in Mexico is changing with alarming speed. A nation that once found its strength and identity in faith is now facing a wave of hostility. The government has adopted a harsh, openly anti-Catholic stance, determined to uproot the very beliefs that shaped the hearts of the people. At that time, more than 90% of Mexicans saw the Catholic faith as the center of their lives. It was woven into every part of their story. Children were baptized in the Church, educated in its schools, married within its walls, cared for in its hospitals, and guided by its priests at the hour of death. For nearly five centuries, to be Mexican and to be Catholic were inseparable truths.But the government under President Plutarco Elías Calles set out to sever that connection by any means necessary. He seemed to ask himself, “How can I destroy the faith of an entire nation?” And under his leadership, one of the most brutal persecutions of the Church began. Foreign missionary priests were expelled. Catholic schools were shut down. Churches were padlocked, making the celebration of Mass illegal. Priests and nuns were forbidden to wear their habits or cassocks in public—doing so meant immediate arrest.Yet, despite the fear and danger, the faithful refused to bow. Their courage grew stronger in the face of oppression. Among them was a priest named Fr. Miguel Pro, a man whose bravery became a beacon of hope. Defying every government order, he continued to minister in secret. He baptized the newborn, prepared couples for marriage, taught the faith, and offered the sacraments whenever and wherever he could. Though police searched for him relentlessly, he continued his mission with joy and determination until at last he was captured.Fr. Miguel would be sentenced to die by firing squad. Before the soldiers aimed their rifles at the priest they asked if he had any final words. He raised his arms in the shape of a cross and cried out with unwavering courage: “LONG LIVE CHRIST THE KING!”The government printed the image of execution on the front pages of newspapers across the country, hoping to fill Catholics with fear. Instead, it filled them with strength. His final cry ignited a fire of faith that oppression could not extinguish.And so today, we remember a truth that Fr. Miguel's life and death proclaim clearly: only Christ truly satisfies the human heart. The joy and peace we long for will never be found in the false promises of our age. They cannot be found in money, possessions, status, or comfort. These things fade, disappoint, and leave us wanting more. But Christ never fails.Christ never fades. Christ alone is our peace. Christ alone is our joy. All other claimants to our hearts eventually fall silent. Only Jesus endures.VIVA CRISTO REY! --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Nehemiah's story reminds us that God's work moves forward when everyone joins in. No one rebuilt the wall alone, and no one's role was too small. Priests, goldsmiths, merchants, and families all cooperated to make the vision a reality. Today, ask God to show you where you can contribute, even if you feel unqualified. Pray for a heart that values unity and for the courage to do your part in rebuilding lives. Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran — The Last Rites (Summary) This weekend in our series Arise: On Death and Dying, we reflect on one of the most consoling and misunderstood gifts of the Church at the end of life: the Last Rites. And right away—what I say at the end I'll say at the beginning: Call early, and when the priest comes, ask for everything. Priests love offering the Last Rites. This is what we're ordained to do—don't worry about "bothering" us! Today's feast gives a fitting backdrop: the readings show us God's life flowing like living water, Jesus as the true Temple, and St. Paul reminding us that we are God's temple. Yet parts of our "temple" can fall into disrepair—sin, fear, neglect, or suffering. As life draws toward its end, those places can feel heavier. This is why Christ gave us the Last Rites. First is Confession, the cleansing of the temple—restoring friendship with God, clearing away anything unresolved, and filling the soul with peace. Second is the Anointing of the Sick, which brings Christ's strength, healing, and courage into physical or spiritual weakness. It's not only for the final moments—it's for anyone seriously ill or preparing for major surgery. Third is Holy Communion, Viaticum—food for the final journey, Christ Himself accompanying the soul home. And if death is near, ask for the Apostolic Pardon, a beautiful prayer granting full remission of temporal punishment. So again: Call early. Call when your loved one can still confess, receive Communion, and take in every grace Christ offers. And when the priest arrives, ask for everything: Confession, Anointing, Holy Communion, and the Apostolic Pardon. The Church does not fear death—Christ has conquered it. The Last Rites prepare the temple of our body and soul for rising with Him. They are Christ's final embrace, His last strengthening for the journey home. Call early—and ask for everything.
