Fr. John Brancich, FSSP is the pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in 2004. In Today's Show: Does invincible ignorance only include those who have never heard of Jesus? Is it a sin to have hatred for Eve? Does the Church elevate marriage and forget about single people? How do I know if I'm sinning? Why are the Psalms numbered differently in older translations? If I forget to say a novena, do I have to start over? Can Catholics still receive communion if they don't agree with Vatican II and the synod? When is a person too old to enter seminary? Does Father Brancich have any favorite Popes? If foster parents say not to do something, but we forget and do it anyways, could that be a mortal sin? I recently heard a priest say that there is salvation outside the Catholic Church. Is this heresy?

Easter IV, 2025.
Sermon delivered on Low Sunday, 2025.
We continue celebrating twenty-five years of proclaiming the Gospel; evangelizing the culture; supporting the faithful; and inviting the disaffiliated, the forsaken, and those who have fallen away back to Christ and his church. However, over the years, attacks against Bishop Barron and Word on Fire have come from many sources, including online anti-evangelists who hate religion in general and Christianity in particular and from those who posture themselves as the Church's greatest defenders. What is the substance of these detractions? What motivates them? Do they pose an actual threat to the ministry? What can they teach us as evangelists about how to respond constructively to public criticism, especially when it's vicious? A listener asks how we should understand the meaning and implications of “turning the other cheek.” 00:00 | Introduction 01:32 | Standing for life with the DOWR seminarians 02:27 | Do any of your critics surprise you? 03:40 | Early interaction with YouTube comments 05:28 | Criticism #1: You're too conservative—or too liberal 06:38 | Your critique of “beige Catholicism” is unfair and trivializing 09:45 | Criticism #2: Prioritizing beauty is a luxury 14:00 | Criticism #3: The thinkers you reference are only appropriate in academic settings 17:18 | Criticism #4:You've joined Balthasar in promoting universal salvation 20:01 | Criticism #5: You're too political—or not political enough 25:46 | Criticism #6: Your critiques of wokeism are one-sided and unfair to social justice 31:57 | Criticism #7: You're too supportive of Vatican II—or not supportive enough 35:50 | Criticism #8: You don't discern the platforms on which you appear 41:29 | Advice for responding to public criticism 42:33 | Listener question: How do I “turn the other cheek” without enabling the offender? 44:54 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: “Dare We Hope” Resource Page: https://www.wordonfire.org/hope/ Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast?

Send us a text by clicking this link!Have you been caught up in the wave of optimism following Pope Leo XIV's election? While there's genuine cause for celebration, this episode dives beneath the surface hype to examine the profound challenges that remain for the Catholic Church.We begin with light-hearted banter about our disappearing friend Nick who seems to have traded our show for more polished Catholic media. This sets up what unexpectedly becomes one of our most memorable segments ever - the spontaneous discovery of the Hawaiian Pigeon Bible translation. The resulting scripture readings had us (and surely you) in tears of laughter, showcasing the joy that remains at the heart of authentic Catholic community even amid serious times.When we finally compose ourselves, we tackle the substantial issues facing Pope Leo XIV. By examining Marco Rubio's thoughtful response to media attempts to politicize the papacy, we unpack how the new pope will navigate the complex relationship between Catholic teaching and geopolitical realities. The heart of our conversation explores a sobering reality: the divisions within Catholicism may be too profound to heal. Can Pope Leo possibly reconcile traditional Catholics with progressive German bishops who essentially practice a different religion? We analyze insights from Father Isaac and Father Murray about the fundamental problems in the Church that transcend any single papacy, from liturgical issues to doctrinal confusion dating back to Vatican II.What makes this episode particularly valuable is our refusal to settle for simplistic narratives. While acknowledging the relief of having a pope who doesn't seem hostile to traditionalists, we remain clear-eyed about the long journey ahead for authentic Catholic restoration. We conclude with practical reflections on how traditional practices like fasting can transform spiritual life regardless of Vatican politics.Whether you're feeling hopeful, concerned, or simply confused about the Church's direction, this episode offers both the levity of authentic fellowship and the depth of honest analysis.

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 election of Pope Leo XIV—the first American pontiff—has sparked fresh hope and cautious optimism in a Catholic world still recovering from the polarizing Francis years. In this candid conversation, Rob and Anthony explore the fascinating phenomenon of how both traditionalist and progressive Catholics initially believe Leo XIV is "their guy," despite the deep divisions that remain within the Church.We dive into Vatican insider Edward Penton's revelations about the conclave's voting patterns, discovering how Cardinal Prevost emerged as the compromise candidate when votes for clearly conservative or progressive cardinals became hopelessly split. Most intriguingly, contrary to Italian media reports, Cardinal Burke never received the future Pope in his apartment—dispelling rumors of pre-conclave lobbying.The Pope's brother Lou offers unique insights into Leo's character, suggesting that while he may hold some progressive views on certain issues, he remains firmly grounded in Catholic doctrine. This middle-path approach has many Catholics feeling a tremendous sense of relief after years of hostility, with one commentator poignantly noting: "I can't even tell you what that feels like to go in and not feel like your father hates you."Through liturgical gestures like wearing traditional papal regalia and incorporating Latin, Pope Leo appears to be extending olive branches to traditionalists while maintaining continuity with Vatican II. Yet the fundamental question remains: can this approach sustain itself when eventually he must make decisions that will disappoint one side or the other?Whether you're a traditionalist hopeful for restoration or a progressive seeking continued evolution, this episode offers thoughtful perspective on what may be the slowing—but not the end—of the post-Vatican II revolution. Join us as we navigate these fascinating times in Church history and contemplate what Leo's pontificate might mean for Catholics worldwide.Sponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Send us a textAs we are trying to absorb a hermeneutic (perspective) of continuity, we dove into a few key figures in the contemporary liturgical history who gave form to what is called "The Liturgical Movement."--Dom Proseper Gueranger--St Piux X--Romano Guardini--Odo Casel--Dom Virgil Michel--Piux XII
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe election of Pope Leo XIV shatters two millennia of Catholic tradition by elevating an American to the papacy for the first time. Born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, this Augustinian cardinal who spent years serving in the jungles of Peru brings a unique dual perspective to the Chair of Peter—combining Western financial acumen with deep experience ministering to the marginalized.This groundbreaking selection upends longstanding assumptions that an American cardinal could never become Pope due to U.S. superpower status. Yet after 133 cardinals cast their votes, white smoke signaled this historic choice that bridges North and South America. What factors drove this unexpected decision? The search for stability and unity following internal Church divisions appears paramount, with Cardinal Prevost representing a non-ideological figure who might heal rifts while maintaining doctrinal clarity.Pope Leo XIV's first appearances reveal a thoughtful, measured leader whose traditional vestments, Latin blessing, and emphasis on Vatican II continuity suggest a papacy that honors Catholic heritage while addressing modern challenges. His Augustinian spirituality—focused on community, contemplation, and service—shines through in his humble approach to leadership, exemplified by his citation of St. Augustine: "With you I am a Christian, for you I am a bishop." This servant-leader mindset, combined with impressive academic credentials and grassroots missionary experience, positions him uniquely to navigate the complex terrain of 21st century Catholicism.Want to understand what this historic papal election means for the future of the Catholic Church? Join us as we analyze Pope Leo XIV's background, selection, and first impressions—exploring how this American Pope might guide 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide while balancing tradition and reform in an increasingly divided global community.Key Points from the Episode:• Cardinal Robert Prevost's election represents a bridge between the first world and third world, having been born in Chicago but serving extensively in Peru• His Augustinian background emphasizes communal living, contemplative spirituality, and service to others• Four likely reasons for his selection: desire for unity after division, missionary experience, balanced perspective between intellectual rigor and service to the poor, financial acumen• Traditional vestments, Latin blessings, and emphasis on the Second Vatican Council indicate a balance between tradition and reform• His early addresses emphasize humility, collaboration, and service, citing St. Augustine: "With you I am a Christian, for you I am a bishop"• First papal trip abroad will be to Turkey for the 1700th anniversary of the Council of NicaeaLet us pray for Pope Leo XIV in his ministry guiding the universal Church, that his papacy may bring healing and unity to the faithful throughout the world.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

We have a new pope, and as always when that happens people wonder if he will follow or change the direction set by his predecessor. By his choice of name and the words of his first address to the world, Pope Leo has indicated that he will continue in the footsteps of Pope Francis, showing special care for the poor, the outcast, the struggling. Father William Grimm shares some thoughts on this.Produced by Binu Alex About the Speaker: Father William Grimm, a native of New York City, is a missioner and presbyter who since 1973 has served in Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia. A graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York, he is the active emeritus publisher of UCA News.

Michel Kubler, prêtre assomptionniste et observateur avisé de la vie ecclésiale était l'invité de Valérie Dupont dans Matin Première. À l'ouverture du conclave, il évoque les défis majeurs auxquels l'Église catholique est confrontée. Face aux tensions internes et aux crispations identitaires, il plaide pour une Église fidèle à l'esprit du concile Vatican II, ouverte, synodale et à l'écoute des périphéries. Kubler souligne que le choix du prochain pape sera crucial : il devra poursuivre l'élan de réforme initié par François, sans céder aux forces de repli. Pour lui, l'avenir du catholicisme dépendra de sa capacité à conjuguer tradition et audace évangélique.

Many Catholics read the Vatican II documents and wonder: where are the reforms we see today? We explore what the Council actually said, how those ideas were implemented, and also dive into Marian theology and questions about spiritual warfare. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 15:36 – Who were Mary's parents? Did she have a natural birth? Did she have original sin? 29:36 – I'm new to the Church. Is studying spiritual warfare making me a target for demonic attacks? 41:54 – I read the documents of Vatican 2. I don’t see a lot of the liturgical reforms. Where did they come from?
Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 3:31-36 - The One Who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the One Who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what He has seen and heard, but no one accepts His testimony. Whoever does accept His testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the One Whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration His gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to Him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Text us your questions!Pope Francis, a man who inspired even many Protestants and non-Christians with his refreshingly prophetic voice, has died. The process to select his successor is ongoing as we release this. To help us understand what's happening, as well as its historical significance, we're talking with our friend and returning guest Shaun Blanchard, a Catholic theologian and theological historian. He helps us understand the significance of Francis's papacy and what might come next.As the first Latin American pope, first Jesuit pope, and first non-European pope since the 8th century, Francis broke numerous precedents while embodying what Shaun calls "the first truly post-Vatican II pope." While his predecessors were formed before Vatican II, Francis's entire priestly ministry took place afterward, fundamentally shaping his perspective on church reform.We explore how Francis's pastoral approach differed from Benedict XVI's more theological orientation and how his willingness to "make a mess" by reopening debates on issues like divorce, remarriage, and same-sex blessings represented a sea change in ecclesiastical culture. Francis challenged assumptions across the political and theological spectrum, championing environmental protection and migrant rights while maintaining core Catholic teachings.The conversation turns to the ongoing conclave, where approximately 80% of voting cardinals were appointed by Francis himself. Shaun offers insights into potential candidates including Pietro Parolin, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and several Asian cardinals, discussing how geopolitical realities might influence the selection process. We also discuss the film "Conclave" and its portrayal of Vatican politics, including how realistic or sensational it was (spoiler warning!).Whether you're Catholic, Protestant, or simply curious about global religious leadership, this conversation illuminates a crucial moment of transition for the world's largest Christian denomination and invites reflection on what spiritual leadership means in our complex global environment.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

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 77-year-old priest Father Charles Murr gets behind the microphone, he doesn't just share memories – he unveils a chilling narrative about the systematic dismantling of Catholic tradition that he's witnessed since his ordination in 1977. What makes this conversation extraordinary isn't just the historical perspective, but Father Murray's personal proximity to pivotal Vatican events that changed the Church forever.The picture Father Murr paints is startling. From the glory days of America's Catholic education system where tuition cost just $15 per year and devoted nuns taught packed classrooms, to the bewildering exodus of 500,000 religious sisters and 10,000 Jesuit priests after Vatican II. His most explosive revelations concern alleged Freemason infiltration at the highest levels of Church governance – including the architect of the Novus Ordo Mass and the cardinal responsible for appointing bishops worldwide.Father Murr's firsthand account of Pope John Paul I's mysterious death after just 33 days in office reads like a spiritual thriller. As someone who drove Cardinal Gagnon to audiences with both John Paul I and John Paul II, his perspective on what happened behind closed Vatican doors offers rare insight into one of the Church's most perplexing moments. The connection between John Paul I's confrontation with corrupt officials and his sudden death raises questions that still linger today.Despite witnessing decades of institutional deterioration and what he calls "the greatest crisis in 2,000 years of Church history," Father Murr maintains a surprising optimism about the upcoming conclave. His assessment of the cardinal electors, particularly those from Africa and Asia, suggests that divine intervention could still turn the tide. For anyone seeking to understand why traditional Catholics view the coming papal election as a pivotal moment for civilization itself, this conversation provides essential context and unexpected hope.Sponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Greg dives into the Vatican politics shaping the 2025 papal conclave, revealing a 60-year fight for the Church's soul between the Concilium and Communio visions born after Vatican II. While Concilium's openness to modern culture has often aligned with Western leftist ideals, Communio champions timeless tradition, and these dueling perspectives will divide the cardinals choosing the next pope. Far from American left-right divides, this struggle defines the conclave's stakes, offering insight into what's next for the Church. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

In this episode, we speak with Matthew Johnston, Fellow at the Reformanda Initiative, to ask the big question: Is Rome a true church? Together, we explore the historic Reformed answer to this question, trace how the Reformers engaged with Rome in their own day, and discuss how things might look different—or surprisingly similar—after the Council of Trent, Vatican I, the Marian dogmas, and Vatican II.What would Calvin say if he walked into Rome today?

The Two Kens take a deep dive into the symbolism and message of this highly acclaimed motion picture starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini, John Lithgow, and more. There's much to discuss, unpack, and explore in this groundbreaking film. It's a film set in the Vatican when a fictional Pope dies, leaving the College of Cardinals to isolate themselves in the Sistine Chapel where they will elect a new Holy Father from among their ranks.

This riveting conversation explores how John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis each navigated the complex aftermath of the Council while shaped by their unique historical contexts.Most Catholics don't realize that both John Paul II and Benedict XVI were formed during the chaos of World War II and Soviet occupation—a trauma that influenced their cautious approach to implementing Vatican II. When John Paul II needed Communist permission just to attend the Council as a young bishop, it revealed the high stakes of Church politics in that era. These experiences created leaders who operated very differently than Francis, who represents a post-conciliar generation with its own vision.The discussion delves into sensitive territory that mainstream Catholic media often avoids: how personnel choices determined policy outcomes, how the sexual abuse crisis undermined trust in Church leadership, and why social media has transformed Catholic discourse. We explore why traditional liturgy appeals to younger Catholics despite restrictions, and how the upcoming conclave might determine whether the Church continues Francis's trajectory or returns to earlier interpretations.Most powerfully, the conversation acknowledges the painful reality that many faithful Catholics experienced crises of faith during Francis's papacy due to perceived doctrinal ambiguity—a perspective rarely voiced in polite Catholic circles. By understanding these complex dynamics, we gain insight into the divided state of contemporary Catholicism and what might lie ahead after Francis.Whether you're a traditional Catholic, a Vatican II enthusiast, or simply curious about Church politics, this conversation offers perspectives you won't hear in typical Catholic media. Join us for an honest, thoughtful exploration of how the past shapes our present and future Church.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Send us a textDelve into the captivating world of the Jesuits with Dr. Marcus Friedrich, whose monumental work "The Jesuits: A History" illuminates five centuries of one of history's most influential and controversial religious orders. From their unexpected origins in the conversion of a Spanish nobleman to their current global presence under the first Jesuit pope, this conversation unveils the remarkable adaptability that has defined the Society of Jesus.The Jesuits' story begins with Ignatius of Loyola, who transformed from courtier and soldier to religious leader after a battlefield injury forced an existential reckoning. Friedrich reveals how the order's unique organizational structure—featuring centralized leadership and the absence of common prayer—distinguished them from traditional monastic communities. Their functionally open mission of "helping souls" allowed Jesuits to engage with virtually every aspect of human existence, making them impossible to ignore in any serious study of early modern history.What makes the Jesuits particularly fascinating is their perpetual ability to reinvent themselves. Whether riding the wave of European cultural advancement in their early centuries, adopting conservative positions in the 19th century, or embracing progressive causes after Vatican II, the Society has never been a monolithic entity. This diversity explains both their extraordinary influence and the animosity they've frequently encountered—culminating in their unprecedented suppression between 1773 and 1814.Friedrich's historical perspective proves especially valuable for understanding Pope Francis, whose papacy cannot be fully comprehended without recognizing his formation as both a Latin American bishop and a Jesuit. While the Society faces challenges of declining European membership, their growing presence in non-European regions and innovative approaches to contemporary issues suggest continued relevance in the 21st century.Whether you're fascinated by religious history, European intellectual development, or the cultural forces shaping our modern world, this episode offers invaluable insights into an order that has been, as Friedrich demonstrates, far more complex and consequential than commonly understood.

On Monday April 21, Pope Francis passed away. As the Church mourns his passing and prays for the repose of his soul, we begin to reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis. So, in this special edition of the Ignatius Press Podcast, Ben Eriksen sits down with Mark Brumely to discuss the life and works of Pope Francis. Mark begins by highlighting three lessons that we can learn from Pope Francis before explaining why he believes Pope Francis will likely be the last pope of Vatican II. He also argues to what degree a pope should be involved in politics and how we can best foster Christian unity as we look forward to a papal conclave. Mark's balanced perspective on these topics is a welcome sight in these turbulent times.

This morning, Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, died. Francis was the first Pope from the Society of the Jesuits and the first that was born outside of Europe since the 8th century. Since being elected in 2013, his time as Pope was marked by a strong humanitarian agenda, with an emphasis on climate change, opposition to the death penalty, advocacy for decriminalization of homosexuality, and criticism of anti-immigration policies. He was heavily criticized throughout his time by conservatives both inside and outside the Catholic Church for policies and statements that seemed at odds with the historic and traditional teachings of the church on marriage, homosexuality, immigration, and the death penalty.But now, with Francis's passing, a new Pope will be elected. Roman Catholicism is still the largest Christian tradition, numbering 1.4 billion adherents to Protestantism's roughly 800 million. It holds massive amounts of land—over 150 million acres worldwide—and billions of dollars in real estate, stocks, and bonds. In short, it's not going anywhere. But even with all of its assets, it still sits in a precarious position.The young members of the Roman Catholic Church are shockingly conservative. According to the New York Times in 2024, “In an era of deep divisions in the church, newly ordained [Roman Catholic] priests overwhelmingly lean right in their theology, practices and politics.” Local dioceses are bursting at the seams with young families and conservative men who are fed up with modernity and uninterested in a rock concert at the local megachurch.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Will he attempt to reform the church from the inroads that liberalism has made? Imagine what would happen with a Pope open to revisiting Vatican II and Trent.

In this thought-provoking episode, we welcome back Dr. Leonardo De Chirico, a leading Reformed evangelical theologian and pastor in Rome, for a consideration of the legacy and ongoing influence of Thomas Aquinas. Drawing from his recent book, Engaging with Thomas Aquinas: An Evangelical Approach (Apollos), Dr. De Chirico offers a critical yet charitable appraisal of Aquinas's theological architecture and enduring impact on Roman Catholicism. Together, Camden and Leonardo explore key themes such as the Catholic Church's dual nature—Roman and Catholic—the evolving role of Thomism across church history, and the tensions within Roman Catholic thought on Vatican II and modernity. Listeners will also hear how Protestants have historically interacted with Aquinas and why an eclectic, biblically grounded engagement remains vital today. This episode offers not only theological clarity but pastoral wisdom for evangelicals navigating the complexities of tradition, authority, and theological retrieval in a post-Reformation world.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 5:31-47 - Jesus said to the Jews: "If I testify on My own behalf, My testimony is not true. But there is another who testifies on My behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on My behalf is true. You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth. I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light. But I have testimony greater than John's. The works that the Father gave Me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on My behalf that the Father has sent Me. Moreover, the Father Who sent Me has testified on My behalf. But you have never heard His voice nor seen His form, and you do not have His word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the One Whom He has sent. You search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on My behalf. But you do not want to come to Me to have life. "I do not accept human praise; moreover, I know that you do not have the love of God in you. I came in the Name of My Father, but you do not accept Me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed Me, because he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
