OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk has left our nation reeling, creating a moment that transcends typical political divisions and forces us to confront the darkness that has taken root in American society.We gather to process not just the horrific event itself, but what it reveals about the spiritual state of our culture. The gruesome footage—showing a father of young children gunned down while simply speaking—has left a psychological scar on everyone who witnessed it. One young man called his father in distress, saying "I just can't get that image out of my head."This murder follows closely behind other acts of senseless violence: Catholic schoolchildren killed in Minneapolis, a Ukrainian refugee woman murdered on a subway, and the attempted assassination of former President Trump. These aren't isolated incidents but symptoms of what one guest calls "a demonic spirit" unleashed in our society. The troubling pattern suggests we're witnessing something more sinister than political disagreement—we're seeing the manifestation of genuine evil.Perhaps most poignant are the revelations about Kirk's faith journey. Despite public perception of him as simply a Protestant figure, we learn that Kirk had been attending Mass with his Catholic wife, participating in Eucharistic adoration, and reportedly going through RCIA with a priest. As one guest notes, "What Protestant does that?" This spiritual dimension makes his murder all the more tragic, cutting short not just a public career but a profound personal transformation.The discussion moves beyond simple grief to examine the philosophical foundations of our cultural conflict. "Debate and discourse require people of goodwill," one participant observes, "but you cannot debate with somebody who has no sanity to reason with, no humanity to appeal to, and who only wants to kill, destroy and take." This stark assessment challenges us to recognize that some divides cannot be bridged through dialogue alone.Join us for this profound conversation about faith, violence, and America's uncertain future. Then share your own thoughts and questions as we try to make sense of this pivotal moment together.Support the show"Protect Catholic Kids" Shirt Fundraiser for Victims of Annunciation Shooting: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/protect-catholic-kids ********************************************************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.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon

Desde pequena, a Márcia sempre teve que lidar com a superação. Na infância ela foi sequestrada pelo pai e afastada da mãe e da irmã. Ela viveu na pobreza, passou fome e aos 15 anos, foi prometida em um casamento. Só que, ao saber que o pai estava doente, rompeu o noivado para cuidar dele e reencontrar a irmã. Mesmo com tudo, ela conseguiu forças para seguir, se casou, teve três filhos, mas se separou depois de muitas traições e na última gravidez, foi abandonada. Hoje, ela cria a filha sozinha e cuida da mãe, mesmo não tendo laços afetivos, mas aprendeu que o perdão não é para quem feriu e sim, pra conseguir seguir a vida mais leve.

Patrick opens the Relevant Radio Summer Pledge Drive with prayer and genuine warmth, instantly setting a supportive tone. He fields spirited calls about faith practices, Catholic marriage convalidation, and even awkward moments at Mass, while weaving in lighthearted commentary about blankets and coffee that spark a few laughs. Listeners find insight, practical advice, and honest encouragement as Patrick responds to concerns and shares community stories of faith put into action. Laura (email) - Incorrect mass behavior: Is it okay for lay people to put their hands on children to give them blessings? (01:34) Mary - I was shopping, and the sales lady didn't understand why I didn't want to buy a piece of furniture in China. Lady told me that Communism wasn't bad in and of itself, just that some of the leaders were bad. Any advice? Should I go to her manager? (05:47) Justin – My wife and I were married in a Lutheran Church. I am Lutheran and my wife is Catholic but lapsed. Can she take RCIA with me? (15:20) Anne (email) - Is there a book about the history of the Catholic Church that you’d recommend? (22:32) Greg - My wife and I have started the process for convalidation. The priest said it would take 3 months, but it is taking longer. What should I do? (27:36) Patrick shares audio from an IVF shopper who gleefully talks about all of the babies who died (42:59)

A lot of Catholics know at least a little about the process for those who who wish to be baptized Catholic or come into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. It is a process formerly known as RCIA, but is now OCIA. However, we can all do a little better job of evangelization by inviting people into the process, people we are in relationship with, our friends and family.

OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

St. Isaac's counsel confronts the modern temptation toward self-promotion, verbal dominance, and the illusion of expertise. In a time when our culture prizes quick answers, visible influence, and a polished public persona, his words cut against the grain. He reminds us that the deepest authority is not rooted in rhetoric or clever disputation, but in the quiet radiance of a virtuous life. Humility, expressed in meek speech, modest bearing, restraint in judgment, and continual learning, guards the soul from the injury of familiarity and the snares of pride. For those in the spiritual life today, this means resisting the lure of proving ourselves in debates, curating our image for approval, or speaking beyond what we have truly lived. It is an invitation to clothe our knowledge in tears and fasting, to let the wisdom of the Church shape our vision, and to guard our minds from curiosities that puff up rather than purify. Such a way seems “small” in the eyes of the world, yet it opens the heart to the grace of God, the only true teacher. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:10:58 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 145. Paragraph 20 00:12:39 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 145, mid-page # 20 2nd paragraph on page 00:13:11 Zack Morgan: no 00:24:51 Anthony: This goes so much against the grain of the Classical Greek world: being a public person and a public corrector after the manner of Socrates 00:40:14 Anthony: I found the spirit of blasphemy is contagious from people who proclaim they are righteous but take delight in showing the faults of others. I wish I could shake it off. 00:40:25 Una: Any practical suggestions for those of us whose knees are shot and can't do prostrations anymore? 00:45:55 Ben: I think St. Seraphim of Sarov said something about continual prayer supplying for the inability to fast. Could one hope that the same could be said about an inability to perform other ascetical works, like prostrations? 00:54:02 Ren Witter: How does one discern when one's conscience differs from widely held beliefs in the Church because it is malformed, and when it differs but is in fact formed well? I am thinking of immediate, small things obviously, but also St. John Chrysostom, who experienced exile from the institutional Church, and who had such confidence in his own conscience that he could say “they have the churches, but we have the truth” ? 00:55:18 Anthony: Replying to "Any practical sugges..."   There's something about prayer being the highest ascetical work. Maybe in Evergetinos. 00:59:28 Mary

In this episode of the Proclaim Podcast, Eric sits down with Deacon Andre Coronado to hear the story of his unexpected and grace-filled journey into the permanent diaconate. From preaching and serving in RCIA, to simply sharing faith in everyday conversations with family and friends, Deacon Dre has found countless ways to proclaim Jesus. He also opens up vulnerably about how formation as a deacon was more than just training for ministry—it was a journey of healing. God gently confronted areas of pride and self-reliance, drawing him into deeper humility and trust. Along the way, there have been surprising moments of joy, unexpected opportunities, and a growing sense of God's faithfulness. If you've ever wondered how God calls ordinary people into extraordinary service, or how grace can transform even the hidden corners of our hearts, you won't want to miss this conversation. Proclaim is a movement of the Archdiocese of Vancouver inspiring disciples to proclaim Jesus in their homes and communities. The Proclaim podcast is a space where you listen to inspiring disciples talk all things around sharing Jesus with others, and learn how to step into your own missionary identity.

Patrick answers raw, honest questions with equal measures of wit and compassion, tackling everything from offensive billboards and noisy kids at Mass to the ethics of cash payments and the emotional turbulence families face after loss. Authentic dilemmas, like the struggle over family members consulting mediums or the complexities behind sacraments and relics, get straight talk grounded in scripture and Catholic wisdom. Real people call, Patrick answers, nothing glossed over. Jennifer (email) – There is an offensive billboard advertisement on property that my family owns (01:32) Gayle (email) - I heard a priest tell someone who was complaining about noisy children at Mass tell them: be careful how you criticize! You are probably going to need people to pray for you in purgatory! (07:24) Anne - How can I tell my family members that going to mediums is not biblical? (13:44) Kaley (email) - The priest who baptized me was found to be a pedophile, since he was in a state of mortal sin is my baptism valid? (21:50) Angie (email) - My boyfriend is in RCIA and when filling out paperwork, one question was if he was ever married, and he was (now divorced). Will this be an issue if we want to get married even though he wasn’t married in the church? Max (email) - Is it a sin to accept a cash payment (27:24) Kat (email) - Thank you for sharing Toastmasters as a way to improve public speaking skills. (37:48) Miles (email) - What do you think of Confirmation around the age 12, before they enter the turmoil of the teenage years? Eric - How is it that the Church has acquired 1st class relics if we are supposed to respect the dead? (42:41) Kathleen - How do we know if the Saint we are praying to is in heaven? My Protestant friend is saying that person could be in hell. (48:37)

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!When a firearms controversy provokes deep reflection on institutional integrity, we discover uncomfortable truths about how organizations respond to criticism. This episode examines the troubling story of the Sig Sauer P320 pistol—a weapon linked to unexpected discharges including the recent death of an Air Force airman—and the company's defensive, gaslighting response that prioritized corporate reputation over customer safety.But this isn't merely about firearms. The parallels to challenges within the Catholic Church are striking and profound. When confronted with legitimate concerns—whether about controversial liturgical practices or declining parish demographics—institutional defenders often employ identical tactics: dismissing critics as "grifters," labeling them "anti-Catholic," and refusing to acknowledge uncomfortable realities.These defensive postures ultimately undermine the very credibility they seek to protect. When potential converts are given sanitized versions of Church realities only to discover the full picture after commitment, the result is often disillusionment and departure. The statistics regarding those who leave within years of completing OCIA (formerly RCIA) suggest the high cost of such approaches.Christ identified Himself as "the way, the truth, and the life"—a profound reminder that truthfulness isn't optional for Christians, but essential to our identity. The Church, as Christ's spotless bride, doesn't require defenders who obscure reality. It needs witnesses confident enough in its divine foundations to acknowledge its human complexities."Present the church as it is," our host reminds us, "it's enough." This simple yet powerful statement captures the essence of authentic evangelization—one built on transparent truth rather than managed perception. The Church can withstand honest scrutiny precisely because its foundations are divine, even when its members are flawed. How might our witness change if we embraced this principle?Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

A convidada do programa Pânico dessa sexta-feira (04) é Márcia Dantas.Márcia Dantas é jornalista, apresentadora e paraense de coração e origem. Sua trajetória no jornalismo começou aos 19 anos como estagiária na TV Record Belém, onde deu os primeiros passos na produção de reportagens e fez da rua sua verdadeira escola. Aos 21 anos, foi contratada como apresentadora do Jornal da Band/PA, permanecendo até os 23, quando retornou à TV Record como repórter. Pouco tempo depois, assumiu a apresentação do Fala Pará (jornal das manhãs), que liderou a audiência nas manhãs da emissora por três anos. Seu estilo dinâmico e irreverente lhe rendeu reconhecimento, incluindo o Prêmio SEBRAE de Jornalismo em 2015.Buscando novos desafios, decidiu deixar a estabilidade no Pará para se aventurar em São Paulo. No meio dessa grande mudança, veio um presente inesperado: a maternidade. Mas nem isso a afastou do objetivo maior. Assim que seu filho, Gabriel, completou sete meses, conquistou uma vaga como freelancer no SBT, onde ganhou destaque como repórter ao vivo, sendo apelidada de "Para-raio da notícia". O esforço e a dedicação a levaram a apresentar o Primeiro Impacto e, posteriormente, um dos maiores telejornais do país, o SBT Brasil.Além da TV, Márcia se dedica a ensinar jornalismo prático para novos profissionais, oferecendo cursos, mentorias de oratória e palestras. Também atua como mestre de cerimônias e compartilha conteúdos informativos nas redes sociais. Recentemente, criou um Instagram de notícias, que, em poucos dias, já apresentou um crescimento expressivo de engajamento. Sua trajetória é a prova de que dedicação e perseverança fazem a diferença. Afinal, para quem se dedica, o sucesso vem!Redes Sociais:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marciadantastv/Instagram de News: https://www.instagram.com/mdnoticias/Site: https://marciadantasnews.com.br/

Lisa-What happens to a soul that doesn't want to die but they die anyway? (1:50) Mike-Pope Francis declaration of blessings for Same sex unions.

OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

We continue our examination of the Sacrament of Baptism, specifically how we celebrate the sacrament and the different elements that must always be present in Baptism. Fr. Mike emphasizes that while infant Baptism has become the “form in which this sacrament is usually celebrated,” post-baptismal formation and instruction is necessary in order for the full flowering of the graces received in the Sacrament of Baptism. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1229-1233. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Kris Stubna joins Patrick to discuss Confession Why is can’t we just go straight to God with confession? (5:33) what is the purpose of confession? (11:06) Carol - I was raised protestant and converted in 1991 in Newark New Jersey. I went through RCIA. Many people were reluctant or scared about confession. We were advised if we didn't want to do that, there was a universal confession where you go through the act of contrition. I never have gone to confession, however, I have been struggling and really want to go. I feel ashamed that I've never go. (16:51) Tim - If I go to confession and confess my sins, but intentionally don't confess a sin, are the others forgiven? (22:31) Beak 1 Sal - I'm 80 years old. Cradle Catholic. I've been thinking about sins that I don't know if I confessed them or not. Should I make an appointment with a priest? When I go to confession, there is usually a long line. (27:59) Email from Mary - How do you battle a sin when you have an affection for sin? What is an examination of conscience? (34:07) Kathleen - I would go to confession maybe 2-3 times a year. Son and husband left the church. I started going once a week. Transformation happened over the last year. I began recognizing the graces. Husband and others asked about the transformation. Peace and joy in my heart. I have had such graces from confession. Victor - What am I supposed to say when I go into the confessional? How do I start? First words...Father forgive me for I have sinned or something else. I'm a convert. (40:49) Break 2 Jane - I have been going to confession quite regularly. Our priest said this is an opportunity to have a relationship with Jesus. Confession isn't there to make you feel bad, but bind that sever. Made such an impression on me. More priests should tell parishioners that. (43:51) Theresa - I have a hard time forgiving myself. I have OCD. I caused a lot of pain through my ignorance have trouble getting over it. Is it okay to confess both sins and faults?

Callers share powerful personal transformations and how faith provides hope in difficult situations. From stories of overcoming crisis pregnancies and medical challenges to relationships marred by betrayal, callers share deeply moving experiences. Patrick emphasizes the importance of trusting God's plan, seeking forgiveness, and finding healing through faith. Sue - I had cancer and got pregnant (00:58) Andy - I got married to a sex addict and feel betrayed by her and priests who tell her not to tell me about numerous indiscretions. (04:55) Cody - If a person had a vasectomy before marriage, can he get validly married or not, especially if the vasectomy is non-reversible? (09:24) Lucy – Why do older kids have to go through RCIA to be baptized? (13:53) Martha - Abstinence in marriage: before I was Catholic, I had hysterectomy. Should I confess this? (19:44) Mike - I had vasectomy after having 5 children. Do I need to confess every time I’m intimate with my wife? (26:38) Eduardo - I am having a vasectomy reversal. I hope it will come out ok. (33:40) Juanita - What is the book you recommended on the sacraments? Patrick recommends, “The Sacraments and Their Celebration”. What makes something valid? (35:13) Philomena – If a man and his wife are beyond the age of having children, is a vasectomy reversal required? (45:41) Rob - I got a vasectomy reversal. We had two kids which are such a blessing. (47:18) Encore from 3/13/25
