This is the first of a two-part deep dive into how U.S. foreign policy stared down the political threat of Liberation Theology by promoting Evangelical Christianity in Latin America. The CIA and USAID, in league with Vatican conservatives like Cardinal Ratzinger, spent money and social capital on the suppression of this vital new movement which insisted that poverty is political and that faith without structural change is hollow.  By contrast, the Evangelical emphasis on individual sin, salvation, and personal prosperity aligned with Cold War and neoliberal interests.  Spiritualities engineered to serve empire don't just pacify the poor abroad—they come back to police democracy at home. The “Evangelical boomerang” shows up in shifting Latino religious demographics and voting patterns, while the “reverse boomerang” hints that Liberation Theology language—once condemned—now shapes Pope Leo's message in this time of rising fascism.  If MAGA mystics, prosperity preachers, and tech-bro shamans offer a gospel of self-aggrandizement, Liberation Theology counters with a message of shared material reality: no one owns the food, we share it; the Sabbath serves people, not power; love of God is inseparable from love for the poor.  Part 1 lays the intellectual and historical groundwork; Part 2 follows the covert money networks and then asks whether a newly emboldened Catholic social vision can stiffen global resistance to authoritarian capitalism.

In this Halloween Freaky Friday, I'm exploring some of the most fascinating witch conspiracies. From the missing witches of Salem and the Vatican's secret archives, to the CIA's psychic experiments and the moon's ancient connection to witchcraft. Then, I end with the greatest theory of all: that the witch hunts were never really about spells or cauldrons, but about silencing the divine feminine... and how she's rising again.Happy Halloween, my magical friends.

So the net is abuzz with excited speculation about a doctrinal statement coming from the Vatican next Tuesday about Mary's role in salvation. Millions of Roman Catholics around the world have signed petitions over the past three decades or more requesting the definition of the "Fifth Marian Dogma" that being Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Co-Mediatrix, and Advocate for the people of God. Many are hoping this new document will dogmatize that teaching, though I find that doubtful. We discuss the issue on Reformation Day 2025. Enjoy!

This week on a special Halloween episode of “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac speak with Micah Kiel, a professor of New Testament at Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary in Collegeville, Minn., where he teaches a class called “Apocalypse-mania.” Micah is also the author of Apocalyptic Ecology: The Book of Revelation, the Earth, and the Future.  Ashley, Zac and Micah discuss: - How Catholics should read the Book of Revelation - Where our obsession with the apocalypse comes from - Revelation's (violent) critique of empire In Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac discuss King Charles's monumental visit to the Vatican, Cardinal Burke saying the Latin liturgy in St. Peter's Basilica and Pete Hegseth's decision to retain awards for soldiers who massacred hundreds of Indigenous civilians at Wounded Knee in the late 19th century. In “As One Friend Speaks to Another,” Ashley and Zac speak to Jackson Goodman, strategic program manager at America, about his and Zac's upcoming participation in the New York City Marathon.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, amid pomp and circumstance at the Vatican, the Catholic Church marked 60 years to the Nostra Aetate, a document that — among other things — attempts to redefine the two-thousand-year-old relationship between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people. Berman delves into the Nostra Aetate's long-standing significance, especially as the relationship between Israel and the Vatican has frayed during the two-year war in Gaza launched by Hamas's murderous onslaught on southern Israel. We learn of the history behind the creation of the landmark document and the push-pull concerns from the Catholic communities in Mideast countries. We hear of the Jewish French historian Jules Isaac, who compiled Catholic anti-Jewish teachings and delivered them to Pope John XXIII, confirming the need to chart out a new path in the Church. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

BREAKING: Vatican to Decide Is Mary ‘Co-Redemptrix'? New Magisterial Document November 4th!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Headlines say one thing, moral logic says another. We sat down with Phil Lawler to unpack the storm around a lifetime award for Senator Dick Durbin, the so-called “consistent ethic of life,” climate pageantry, and immigration debates—and to draw bright lines between intrinsic evils and prudential judgments. If you've felt whiplash from Vatican sound bites, this conversation gives you a filter: read statements carefully, rank issues rightly, and refuse to let media spin define what the Church teaches.We start with the core: abortion is never a matter of tactics; it is the deliberate taking of innocent life. From there, we examine how the seamless garment gets misused to excuse politicians who support grave evils while scoring points on secondary issues. On climate, we affirm stewardship without baptizing contested policy schemes or celebrity summits, and on immigration we hold dignity and border control together, insisting that assimilation and cultural preservation are part of the common good. Visit Leila Lawler for her popular blog for young mothers!

Patrick answers questions about whether demons hate Latin, the Church's approach to marital intimacy, and what attitude to bring to Mass, sprinkling in humor and commentary on youth slang. He fields practical concerns from callers, reflects on Catholic traditions, and offers advice for handling postpartum challenges and everyday dilemmas. Insights are sharpened as Patrick balances reverence and wit, blending ancient teachings with modern quirks. Mikaela (email) – Why do demons hate Latin? (00:53) Email – Is Viagra okay to use? (13:29) Monica - I like what you said about Latin. I think it is more of a prayer. The main language in the Vatican is English now. (20:39) Leonard - Latin was also touched to the cross. (25:29) Richard - I am confused about the act of marriage. My wife has not been able to be intimate for over 30 years. Can you clarify the sinfulness of accommodating this? (30:26) Billy (email) – What attitude should I have during Mass? Eleanor – Should we sit down when the priest sits down? (38:37) Jessica - I had a baby 6 weeks ago and have no interest in husband-and-wife duties. Am I sinning that I don't want to be available for this? (44:24)

Britain serves up a triple shot of absurdity.First, the beloved Mr Men and Little Miss characters join forces with the estate of Agatha Christie to launch a new children's mystery series — turning Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple into cartoon detectives. Is it clever cultural cross-pollination, or simply literary heresy in pastel colours? Then, King Charles III travels to the Vatican to meet Pope Leo XIV, marking the first public prayer between an English monarch and a pontiff in half a millennium. Is it genuine reconciliation or royal diplomacy with incense? Finally, a London woman is fined £150 for pouring her coffee down a street drain — proving once again that Britain can turn caffeine into a crime scene faster than you can say “flat white.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.Supporters get updates on new projects and hot takes on the latest news plus Mark and Pete Extra  in depth commentary episodes and Mark and Pete vs AI  comedy episodes.

⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat. In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory. ⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne's heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what's left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran. ⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome's enemies circle closer, and John's greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers.

What if the story of your life isn't “nothing much happened”… but a mission God is speaking through you? Joe and Father Boniface unpack how tiny, daily choices—patience with family, taking out the trash with care—shape a saint's storyline, and why zooming in on micro-moments actually clarifies the bigger horizon. We explore St. Thérèse's wisdom about doing the next small thing with great love alongside Pope Francis' call to see your life as a unique message entrusted to you. Through it all, we stay grounded in the three lenses: honesty with self, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasTake a “micro audit” of the last season: note small relational wins (held your patience, chose forgiveness) and misses (withdrew attention, snapped online) to see real growth.Your life is a mission and a message: lift your eyes to the horizon periodically to name milestones, then return to the next faithful step.St. Thérèse's path: do the next ordinary task with great love—God meets us in the present moment.Hold macro and micro together: alternate big-picture review with daily presence so grace can re-pattern habits over time.Practical examen: Where did my attention go today (phone, work, family, prayer)? What one small act of love can I choose tomorrow?Links & ReferencesPope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate (On the Call to Holiness in Today's World) — official Vatican text: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20180319_gaudete-et-exsultate.htmlCTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

"The Christian faith does not destroy culture, but purifies and uplifts it. It takes away nothing of genuine value from a society or nation, but strengthens whatever is good for the betterment of all."~ St. John Paul IIWhat does it mean to live a beautiful life?How can I create a Catholic culture in my own life, family, school, or work?Should I be aiming to create a utopia on earth?In this insightful episode of This Whole Life, hosts Pat and Kenna sit down with Monsignor James Shea, president of the University of Mary, to explore the deep connection between faith, mental health, and the quest for true integration in everyday life. Monsignor Shea shares personal stories of loss and leadership, reflecting on building an authentic Catholic culture in diverse communities, the challenges and joys of forming young minds, and why embracing imperfections leads us closer to wholeness. The conversation dives into the meaning of integration—both personally and institutionally—and touches on how fragmented lives can be healed through Christ with humility and a spirit of self-giving. With practical encouragement and wisdom, this episode inspires listeners to find beauty, purpose, and unity in the messiness of real life. Perfect for anyone seeking both sanity and sanctity as they walk the journey of faith.Monsignor James Shea became the sixth president of the University of Mary in 2009.

A @Christadelphians Video:In this thought-provoking and insightful Milestones Bible Prophecy Update, we examine the future role of the Catholic Church in the unfolding of end-times events. Building on Part 1, this expositional presentation delves into Scripture to reveal how current Middle East dynamics and Vatican policies align with ancient prophecies concerning a final confederacy against Israel. We explore the significant shift in Vatican stance towards Israel and the Palestinians, the rise of 'Palestinian Liberation Theology', and the powerful symbolism in recent Papal visits. This analysis, presented by Brother Don Pearce, provides an outstanding look at how Bible prophecy is being outworked in our generation, pointing to the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.**Chapters / Timestamps:**00:00 - Introduction00:50 - Preparing the Flock: A First-Century Warning02:03 - The Scattering of the Jews and the Rebirth of Israel03:00 - [Revealing] The Vatican as a Prophesied Enemy of Israel04:04 - The Papacy and the "Man of Sin"05:01 - Pope Francis and the Shift in Vatican Policy06:21 - Liberation Theology: Redefining Jesus and the Bible08:25 - Symbolism and Imagery: The Erasure of Jewish Heritage12:33 - The EU, The Church, and a United Power14:47 - Historical Papal Opposition to a Jewish Homeland15:35 - Daniel 2: The Prophetic Image and its Final Stage17:15 - Revelation 17: The Scarlet Woman and Babylon the Great20:13 - "Mother Church": The Titles and Claims of Rome21:51 - Pope Leo: A New Agenda and Vatican Finances24:54 - Revelation 18: The Merchants of the Earth25:22 - Conclusion**

SHOW 10-24-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CANADA  IN THE EYES OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Pennsylvania Aims to Be AI Capital with US-Made Non-Lithium Batteries. Salena Zito reports on Governor Shapiro's plan to establish Pennsylvania as the AI and data center capital, capitalizing on its energy resources and university system. She focuses on EOS, a Turtle Creek company making non-lithium batteries that are 97% US-made, countering reliance on Chinese lithium. AI data centers require high energy reliability, favoring coal and natural gas infrastructure. Governor Shapiro supports this buildout, including a $22 million grant for EOS. 915-930 Italian Olive Harvest and Historical Vatican-UK Royal Visit. Lorenzo Fiori reports that the olive harvest in Tuscany is expected to be low in quantity due to mosquito damage caused by humidity and rain. However, recent strong winds helped remove damaged olives, potentially ensuring a "very tasty" oil. Fiori also discusses the historical visit of King Charles III to the Vatican's Sistine Chapel to pray with Pope Francis. This event, which Fiori found spectacular, is seen as crucial for restoring dialogue between the Anglican and Catholic Churches after centuries of division. 930-945 Small Business Economy Steady; AI Remains a 'Toy'. Gene Marks reports on the small business economy, noting steady activity among machine parts manufacturers, often preparing for an "onshoring boom." Construction and housing are holding steady but anticipate a future boom as interest rates decline. Tariffs have a muted impact, often absorbed or passed on as separate invoice line items for transparency. Marks demonstrates that AI, despite its advances, is not ready for prime-time business use, failing to accurately generate a requested image of a Yorkshire Terrier hitting a home run. 945-1000 Small Business Economy Steady; AI Remains a 'Toy'.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Pacific Palisades Housing Dispute and West Coast Infrastructure Challenges. Jeff Bliss covers West Coast issues, including traffic disruption from new high-speed rail construction between Southern California and Las Vegas. Pacific Palisades residents are protesting state and local plans to use burned-out lots for high-density, multistory affordable housing, fearing the change in community character and increased traffic. Additionally, copper theft from EV charging stations is undermining Los Angeles's zero emissions goals. Homeless encampments are also sparking major brush fire concerns in areas like Malibu and the Sepulveda Basin. 1015-1030 Pennsylvania Pursues Data Center Hub Status, Converting Golf Courses. Jim McTague reports on Pennsylvania's effort to become a data center hub, citing over $90 billion committed investment statewide. York County secured $5 billion, with plans including converting Brierwood Golf Course into a data center. This effort faces public resistance fueled by fears of higher electricity and water prices. McTague notes that consumer spending in Lancaster County is "steady." The conversion of golf courses reflects the decline of golf, seen as a "dinosaur" activity that takes too much time. 1030-1045 Professor Epstein Slams Trump's Economic Policies as 'State Socialism'. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes four Trump administration economic decisions concerning Intel, Nvidia, US Steel, and MP Mining, labeling them forms of state-owned enterprise or "state socialism." Epstein argues that acquiring golden shares or negotiating side deals—like Nvidia paying 15% of China revenue—destroys market value, undercuts competitors, and violates the neutral application of laws. He also critiques the Gaza deal, stating Hamas must be wiped out before any subsequent phases of the agreement can proceed. 1045-1100 Professor Epstein Slams Trump's Economic Policies as 'State Socialism'.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 cMcNamara at War: Loyalty, Secrets, and the Vietnam Conflict. Professor William Taubman discusses Robert McNamara's complicated role during the LBJ years. McNamara enabled the Vietnam War escalation, notably misrepresenting the Gulf of Tonkin incidents to Congress. Despite later secretly opposing the war ("I want so badly to bring the boys home"), he remained silent due to loyalty to Johnson and the presidency. Taubman also details McNamara's role spying on the Kennedys for LBJ and his "loving" relationship with Jackie Kennedy. His post-Pentagon role at the World Bank served as a form of repentance. 1115-1130 cMcNamara at War: Loyalty, Secrets, and the Vietnam Conflict.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Trump Administration's Economic Interventionism Questioned as 'State Capitalism'. Veronique de Rugy critiques the Trump administration's economic policies regarding companies like Intel, US Steel, and MP Mining, calling them "state capitalism" or forms of nationalization. She argues that the government acquiring a minority share in Intel creates bad incentives and unfair competitive advantages. Regarding MP Mining, de Rugy notes that guaranteeing a price floor fails to address the underlying issue of government regulation hindering rare earth production in the US.E 1215-1230 The Postponement of the Budapest Meeting and Negotiating with Putin. Cliff May discusses the postponement of the Trump-Putin Budapest meeting, attributing it to Marco Rubio insisting on a cessation of hostilities, which Foreign Minister Lavrov rejected, demanding "all Ukraine." May warns President Trump against being outnegotiated, referencing Stalin's success over Roosevelt and Churchill at Yalta. Putin admires Stalin, who expanded the Russian Empire and engineered the Holodomor famine. May stresses that Russians negotiate only to win, not to compromise. 1230-1245 NASA's Artemis Woes, Chinese Debris, and Global Space Industry Shifts. Bob Zimmerman discusses NASA's Artemis program, noting Administrator Sean Duffy is using a social media feud with Elon Musk as a "shiny object" to distract from the Orion capsule's untrustworthy heat shield risks. Other space issues include China's dangerous rocket debris crashes, some using highly toxic fuels, and European satellite companies consolidating into Project Bromo due to competition. Zimmerman also highlights the discovery of a large asteroid orbiting near Venus and Lockheed Martin's investment in Venus Aerospace's radical rocket engine design. 1245-100 AM NASA's Artemis Woes, Chinese Debris, and Global Space Industry Shifts.

Intro: Minutes 0 to 6:30 Chandra has been watching Dexter: Resurrection. She also watched The Materialists but doesn't recommend it. I saw One Battle After Another and enjoyed it. I loved The Long Walk. I have been watching a Canadian comedy called Corner Gas. Royals: Minutes 6:30 to Since we last recorded, the second season of With Love, Meghan came out and we've also had two drops of As Ever products. Harry did a four day tour of England in September, went to Ukraine and visited his dad. Meghan went to the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month. She looked serene, glowy and rich and her surprise appearance was a success. It came out that she's friends with Balenciaga's new creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. He told The Cut that he's been friends with Meghan for years and that she asked if she could attend the show. There was a dumb manufactured controversy over Meghan's visit to Paris after she posted a little Instagram story of her feet while she was in a limo in Paris. The Daily Mail called the video insensitive and claimed she was driving near the tunnel in Paris where Princess Diana died. Meghan's video was taken over a kilometer away from the Pont de Alma tunnel. Meghan attended the Fortune Summit in Washington, DC last week where she talked about the future of her businesses. She also went to a women's networking dinner held by Emma Grede over the weekend. There was some ridiculous criticism of this dinner. On Friday, October 10th, Harry and Meghan were honored for their charity work at for World Mental Health Day in New York. Princess Kate co-authored a little essay ahead of that on how smartphones are bad. Harry and Meghan founded the Parents Network over a year ago and were being honored for that. Last week, around October 15th, Kate and Will made a surprise visit to Northern Ireland. They've been on vacation this week. On Friday, October 17th, Prince Andrew announced in the afternoon our time that he was voluntarily no longer using his titles. He's largely stepped back from royal life in the past few years but we've seen him at family events and it's obvious he has Charles' support. Charles was clearly trying to send a message to Harry by inviting Andrew to royal events. It looks like there was a deal worked out between Charles and Andrew that Andrew gets to keep Royal Lodge and his daughters get to keep their titles. Chandra thinks Charles believes Andrew's lies. We admire Virginia Guiffre for telling the truth. Andrew's announcement came a few days after we saw a 2011 email he sent Jeffrey Epstein after the release of Andrew's infamous photo with then 17-year-old Virginia Guiffre. Andrew wrote to Epstein “we are in this together” and “we'll play some more soon.” An email between Fergie and Epstein was also leaked. Fergie and Andrew wrote those emails after they claimed to have cut ties with Epstein. Fergie borrowed over $2 million from Epstein. I play a segment from an interview with British journalist Emily Maitlis, who interviewed Andrew for his infamous Newsnight interview. Andrew and ex wife Sarah Ferguson will continue to live in Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, at least as long as Charles is alive. William wants to kick him out and there may be a parliamentary inquiry into his living arrangements. PM Kier Starmer supports an inquiry. Andrew still gets royal perks like being able to use other royal estates. Royal Lodge is sprawling, with a 30 room mansion, chapel, six cottages, pool and tennis court. Andrew has not paid rent in 20 years. He's said to spend his time playing Call of Duty and watching golf. William is trying to take credit for Andrew renouncing his titles. William has been briefing about how much he can't stand Andrew, but he was seen looking chummy with him recently. Beatrice visited her parents at Royal Lodge on Monday. There's some talk about removing Eugenie and Beatrice's titles, but Prince William doesn't seem to want this and they are blameless. Eugenie lives in Portugal is already half out but Beatrice seems to want to be a working royal. King Charles and Camilla visited the Vatican and met with Pope Leo. Camilla was wearing a black mantilla headpiece. They prayed together and it's the first time a British monarch and pope have prayed together in 500 years. This upcoming meeting was incentive for Charles to make a deal with Andrew to give up his titles. Comments of the Week: Minutes 29:30 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Rapunzel on the post about Trump asking Camilla for the gossip on Meghan.  My comment of the week is from square bologna on Kristen Bell's post about her husband saying he would never kill her.

George Noory and author Edmondo Crimi discuss his paranormal museum in Pennsylvania, some of the creepiest items in the museum like vampire killing paraphernalia and the spirit of a little girl that haunts the museum, plus getting to attend an exorcism conference at the Vatican.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
