Patrick opens the hour by reading a listener’s email questioning his stance on attending invalid weddings, bringing personal stories and historical context about conflicting priestly advice in the wake of Humanae Vitae. The conversation climbs from memories of seminarians who wrongly counseled married couples on contraception to callers probing Church teaching on natural family planning and the significance of following a well-formed conscience. As the hour winds down, Patrick wrestles with the challenge of Christian belief in miracles and the resurrection, anchoring his response in scripture and the lived witness of the apostles. Kevin (email) - Why don't you take the advice of priests over your own interpretation? (00:47) Brother John - Natural Family Planning was never a teaching of the Church. It came out of Vatican II. (18:53) Pat - Priest wrote letter apologizing to those he recommended birth control too. (24:58) Jeffrey - My friend wants his mom to become Christian, but she doesn't believe in the Resurrection of Christ. (38:40)

George Weigel discusses the approaching 60th anniversary of the closing of Vatican II, asking if its teachings are still relevant and if its evangelical purpose has been fulfilled.
Fr. William Rock, FSSP, serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog. In Today's Show: Does Catholic doctrine state every baby is posessed before baptism? Should I spread a family member's ashes? How do I refute the position that priests after Vatican II are not valid? Do souls in purgatory know they are being prayed for? Can Catholics walk through a protestant church? If someone is depressed, are they culpable for sins? How do I handle those around me who use fowl language? How do we have free will if God's outcome is infallible? Was Mary's soul ever separated from her body? What is the difference between sins and temptations? Would a spiritual communion count for a First Friday? Do priests pour their milk before the cereal or the other way round?

Fr. Robert Ryan joins Patrick to discuss Vatican II (2:52) what is an ecumenical council? (5:48) What caused Vatican II to assimilate? (21:20) Break 1 Robert - Why the change from the Latin Mass? Wondering why that's not very alive anymore. (28:57) what are the major documents of the Second Vatican Council? (32:16) Chris - I know in the past supersessions is the main teaching and then 2nd Vatican council condemned it. With everything going on now, I figured it would be a good thing to clear up. (38:52) Break 2 Greg - Lumen Gentium...chapter 16 where it talks about salvation. Just wanted to get take on the idea that a person needs to be Catholic to be saved, but all salvation goes through the church. If you die, you have the chance to enter.

Father Adrian talks about the beauty and tremendous riches of the faith, sacred scripture and the gifts that God gives to us. The church teaches that sacred scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit. The beautiful document from Vatican II called Dei Verbum highlights […] L'articolo Catechesis – Dei Verbum, the Beauty of the Faith – Fr Adrian Crowley proviene da Radio Maria.
Libéralisme, positivisme, matérialisme, socialisme… l'Église a longtemps condamné les idéologies du monde moderne. Le modernisme lui-même été déclaré par Pie X le "rendez-vous de toutes les hérésies" dans son encyclique "Pascendi Dominici Gregis" (1907). Le concile Vatican II a-t-il mis fin au long contentieux entre l'Église et la modernité ? A-t-il été une parenthèse optimiste en écho aux "golden sixties" ? Et pourquoi donc l'Église a-t-elle été si réticente à l'égard de la modernité ? Réponses d'Étienne Fouilloux, historien, spécialiste du catholicisme français, professeur émérite des universités, auteur de "Une Église en quête de liberté - La pensée catholique française entre modernisme et Vatican II (1914-1962)", (éd. Desclée de Brouwer, 2006).Retrouvez tous nos contenus, articles et épisodes sur rcf.frSi vous avez apprécié cet épisode, participez à sa production en soutenant RCF.Vous pouvez également laisser un commentaire ou une note afin de nous aider à le faire rayonner sur la plateforme.Retrouvez d'autres contenus de vie spirituelle ci-dessous :Prière du matin : https://audmns.com/DwJysxvHalte spirituelle : https://audmns.com/pMJdJHhB.

In 1976, a 23-year-old German woman named Anneliese Michel died after undergoing 67 Catholic exorcisms over 10 months. Her death would spark one of Europe's most controversial legal battles — pitting faith against medicine, and belief against responsibility. Was Anneliese a victim of possession? Or of a system that failed to recognize mental illness as something sacred, not demonic? In this haunting episode, John Williamson takes you beyond the horror-film legend to uncover the human story — one of devotion, suffering, and the thin line between faith and fear.
In this episode, Matt interviews Raymond Arroyo—host of EWTN's "The World Over," New York Times Best Selling author, award-winning producer, chart topping vocalist and broadcaster, and podcast host.

Patrick fields heated questions from callers about Catholic parenting, the risks of sleepovers, and technology in family life. He responds to Vatican II skepticism with straight talk and compassion, jumps from workplace stories about faith stickers to discussions on Communion and cohabitation, and offers blunt advice without sugarcoating. Anything can happen here: a Marine is urged toward faith, a listener grabs Paul McCartney tickets before starting chemo, and throughout, Patrick blends humor, candor, and steady encouragement.

“Man is divided within himself.” So says the Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes. Sins – original sin, the sins of others, and your own personal sins lead to your inner fragmentation and the obscuring of your conscience. What is your conscience? Where is your conscience within you? What does Vatican II say about IFS concepts? How did St. Maximilian Kolbe live sacrificial love in Auschwitz with interior integration, inner unity? And what does Vatican II say about psychology and the social sciences? Dr. Gerry Crete joins me for a wide-ranging discussion of these questions and so much more.
In this episode I am joined by Dr Francisco José Luis, scholar of Indo-Iranian Studies and Comparative Religion trained at the Sorbonne, Paris and SOAS, London. Francisco recalls his upbringing and education in Luxembourg; details his rigorous academic training in classical languages such as Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit; and laments what he sees as the rise of idealogical indoctrination in modern education Francisco discusses his PhD in pre-reformist Sikhism, his years of field work living in the Punjab, and expresses his love of the German intellectual tradition. Francisco reveals the influence of Neoplatonism in Islamic theology and mysticism, describes his own turn to Shiʿi Islam, and explains why he believes that even today there is a living lineage of Neoplatonism that stretches directly back to Plotinus. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep327-neoplatonic-mystic-dr-francisco-jos-luis Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Upbringing in Luxembourg 02:56 - Classical education 04:28 - Learning Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit 08:03 - Germanic intellectual tradition and WW2 12:37 - Advantages of an anti-American education 15:06 - Critical thinking and intellectual independence 17:04 - Boomer educators and idealogical indoctrination 20:59 - German literature 22:56 - Post WW2 culture shock and the boomer revolution 27:20 - Vatican II and loss of trust 30:35 - Filling education gaps 32:06 - A deeply pagan Catholic 35:21 - Meditation practice and interest in Neo-Vedanta 37:52 - Studying two masters degrees simultaneously at the Sorbonne 39:57 - Rigorous training in Sanskrit 43:56 - MA theses in French literature and pre-reform Sikhism 45:20 - PhD at SOAS in pre-reformist Sikh monastic orders 46:48 - Living among the Sikh community and learning Punjabi 49:54 - Young Sikh's interest in pre-reformist religion 50:54 - Death threats from Sikhs 53:00 - Changes in Sikhism 55:20 - Tradition religious music of Sikhism and other pre-reformist features 01:00:18 - Neo-traditionalist Sikh movements in the UK and India 01:03:59 - Falling in love with Shiʿi Islam 01:10:16 - Conversion to Islam? 01:11:45 - Shi'ism as a personal practice 01:13:23 - Cultural barriers against European converts 01:16:12 - Neo-Platonic Vajrayanism 01:17:43 - Mysticism perceived as a threat 01:21:48 - Neoplatonic influence on Islam 01:27:28 - Surprising Neo-Platonic features of Islamic mysticism 01:33:30 - Metempsychosis in Islam 01:37:16 - Francisco is a Neoplatonist 01:43:08 - Vajrayana and Shiʿi inner alchemy and dream yoga 01:50:43 - Islamic tummo … To find our more about Dr Francisco José Luis, visit: - https://www.instagram.com/hludvig_tradicionalista For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
“The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Theologian R. Kendall Soulen joins Drew Collins to discuss supersessionism, the name of God (tetragrammaton), the irrevocable covenant between God and the Jews, and the enduring significance of Judaism for Christian theology.Together they explore religious and ethnic heritage, cultural identity, community, covenant, interfaith dialogue, and the ongoing implications for Christian theology and practice.They also reflect on how the Holocaust forced Christians to confront theological assumptions, how Vatican II and subsequent church statements reshaped doctrine, and why the gifts and calling of God remain irrevocable. Soulen challenges traditional readings of Scripture that erase Israel, insisting instead on a post-supersessionist framework where Jews and Gentiles bear distinct but inseparable witness to God's faithfulness.Image Credit: Marc Chagall, ”Moses with the Burning Bush”, 1966Episode Highlights“The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”“Supersessionism is the Christian belief that the Jews are no longer God's people.”“The Lord is God—those words preserve God's identity and resist erasure.”“Israel sinned. They are still Israel. That identity is irrevocable.”“The gospel doesn't erase the distinction between Jews and Gentiles; it reconfigures it.”About R. Kendall SoulenR. Kendall Soulen is Professor of Systematic Theology at Candler School of Theology, Emory University.

Commander John Sharpe joins John-Henry Westen for a frank look at how Catholic just war teaching collides with modern U.S. foreign policy. A decorated Navy officer, Sharpe recounts his own “cancellation before it was cool” after opposing the Iraq War, drawing on Aquinas, Vatican II, and Leo XIII to argue that America's wars often fail the tests of just cause, last resort, and proportionality.He exposes how leaders exploit fear, like the infamous “mushroom cloud” threat, to bypass moral analysis, leaving soldiers, families, and nations scarred. The conversation ranges from the false logic of punishing nations for possible future crimes, to the bipartisan collapse of moral coherence that saw Pat Buchanan and Noam Chomsky aligned against Iraq. With ties to Versailles, the Balfour Declaration, and today's Middle East turmoil, Sharpe urges Catholics to reject propaganda before another war is waged under false pretenses.U.S. residents!

Originally aired on 06/03/2025 Patrick opens with playful Taco Tuesday banter before answering listener questions about Catholic wedding protocols, the real story behind Saint Patrick’s sainthood, and the significance of post-Vatican II changes to church architecture and liturgy. He fields tough situations: guiding a godfather on how to lovingly challenge a drifting family member, addressing concerns over boundaries at the parish, and supporting a grandmother grappling with her granddaughter’s leap to Anglicanism. Amid the laughter and heartfelt dilemmas, Patrick shares a convert’s gratitude for the Eucharist, letting honest conversation and practical wisdom steer the day. Anthony (email) – My 22-year-old nephew and his fiancé asked me to officiate their wedding ceremony. I was honored to be asked, but I'm a bit hesitant. I've never been asked to do this before. Should I accept? If not, how do I decline? (01:560) Marie - I was in Ireland recently. St. Patrick’s Church was Anglican instead of Catholic. I was told St. Patrick was never Catholic, just 'Christian', because he came before canonization. (09:47) Richard - Why did the Catholic Church change the altar around in the 60s? (21:18) Mary - My friend has a crush on a priest. What should I do? Should I let the Pastor know?

I am a convert and went 58 years without it. I am full of gratitude. (45:59)

A number of doctrinal ruptures occurred in Catholic life after Vatican II – not in the sense that the Church's magisterium contradicted its previous teachings, but that the vast majority of Catholics, even conservative ones, tend to get these topics wrong. One of the worst examples is how the Church's traditional teaching on the Jewish people has been forgotten, with many people under the false impression that Vatican II changed Catholic teaching. Gideon Lazar, theologian and Jewish convert to Catholicism, joins the podcast to discuss some widely misunderstood and controversial points about the relationship between the Church and the Jews. (The views Gideon expresses in this interview are his own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the St. Basil Institute, where he is institute coordinator.)

Episode 2 - The Centrality of the Eucharist Placing the Eucharist as the center of who we are as Catholics part 2 Deacon James Keating, Ph.D., the director of Theological Formation for the Institute for Priestly Formation, located at Creighton University, in Omaha. The Vatican II documents remind us that the spiritual journey is not made in a vacuum. God has chosen to save us, not individually, but as The People of God. The Eucharist must help Christians to make their choices by discerning out of Christ's paschal mystery. For this process to take place, however, Christians must first understand how the Eucharist puts them in touch with Christ's passion, death, and resurrection, and what concrete implications being in touch with this mystery has for their daily lives.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 23:13-22 - Jesus said to the crowds and to His disciples: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the Kingdom of heaven before men. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You traverse sea and land to make one convert, and when that happens you make him a child of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If one swears by the temple, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gold of the temple, one is obligated.' Blind fools, which is greater, the gold, or the temple that made the gold sacred? And you say, ‘If one swears by the altar, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gift on the altar, one is obligated.' You blind ones, which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it; one who swears by the temple swears by it and by Him Who dwells in it; one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him Who is seated on it.” Memorial of Saint Louis of France Memorial of Saint Joseph Calasanz, Priest Saints Louis and Joseph, pray for us!

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 23:23-26 - Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. But these you should have done, without neglecting the others. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Damning exposé of Bugnini in so-called liturgist's rediscovered memoirs https://www.complicitclergy.com /2025/08/15/damning-expose-of-bugnini-in-prominent-liturgists-rediscovered-memoirs/
His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Burke explained why the Traditional Latin Mass “is attracting the young people and which attracts me is that the form of the rite is such that it makes it clear that it's Christ Who's acting.” Cardinal Burke noted that ancient Mass and Gregorian chant have been lost: “Well, those things somehow got lost. Not everywhere, but, sadly, in great part.” https://www.birchgold.com/taylor — Get your FREE infokit from Birch Gold and secure your future today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Read Online“Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel! Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.” Matthew 23:24–26Imagine if someone were to offer to wash the dishes after dinner and all they did was to wash the outside of the cups and bowls but left the inside untouched and then placed them back in the cupboard. The next time you would go to use them, you would find them looking good until you took them down and saw the dried liquid and food inside. This is the image that Jesus uses to describe the Pharisees. They only cared about the external appearance and ignored the more important interior of the soul.Jesus also used the contrasting images of straining out the gnat and swallowing the camel. This was a reference to the laws in Leviticus that forbade the Israelites from eating “swarming creatures,” such as gnats and other bugs, (Leviticus 11:41–45) as well as the meat of camels (Leviticus 11:4). Saying that the Pharisees “strain out the gnat and swallow the camel” was a figure of speech by which Jesus accused the Pharisees of distorting the smallest details of the law while ignoring the most important ones. For example, the Pharisees required everyone to strain all liquid before drinking it, just in case a gnat accidentally was present in that liquid, but they cared little about true justice when it came to killing the Son of God. For these reasons, the Pharisees had become “blind guides” and “hypocrites,” incapable of leading people to holiness.The bottom line is that Jesus is telling us that we must truly become holy, not just appear so. God sees the heart and judges the heart. The only other person who can see your heart is you. Therefore, we must also hear this condemnation of the Pharisees so that we will understand the importance of looking into our own souls first and foremost. From there, from the holiness within, our exterior will also radiate the holiness of God.One of the documents of Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes, beautifully speaks to us about the conscience: “Conscience is the most secret core and sanctuary of a man. There he is alone with God, Whose voice echoes in his depths” (#16). This “secret core and sanctuary” within us is what Jesus is most concerned about. Very often we are tempted to be far more concerned about how we look to others than how we truly are inside. For example, the person who lives a sinful double life may go to great lengths to look holy to others, doing all they can to hide their sin from others. On the contrary, someone might be living a very holy life but be falsely accused by another publicly, causing much pain. In the former case, as long as the person is not found out, they appear at peace. In the latter case, even though the person is living a good and holy life, if they are falsely accused, they may be tempted to despair as their public image is shattered.What others think and say about us is ultimately out of our control to a lesser or greater degree. What is within our control is that which is within us. Our interior life, that secret core, that sanctuary within where we meet God, must become the focus of our energies. Exteriorly, it ought not matter that others praise us or criticize us. What matters is that which is true, and only you and God can look into your heart to see that truth. The Pharisees failed to understand this essential truth. They put all their energy into their public image, neglecting that which was most important, making them incapable of leading others to God. Reflect, today, upon your soul. How often do you look inside yourself? Are you able to be honest with yourself, acknowledging your sin and being grateful for your virtue? Or are you among those who are more concerned with how you look to others? Turn your eyes to the secret sanctuary within because it is there, in that secret core, that you will meet God, grow in holiness and then radiate that true holiness within our world. When that happens, God will also be able to use you to be a true guide to holiness for others. Lord of true holiness, You desire to cleanse my soul, and You invite me to meet You there within. Please give me the grace I need to care more about my holiness within than the external perceptions and judgments of others. May I become holy, dear Lord, and learn to become an instrument of that holiness for others. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Brooklyn MuseumSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
“Children are the supreme gift of marriage,” says Vatican II. Marriage is directed by its very nature toward the procreation of children. Beyond this, parents are the primary educators of their children, responsible for their holistic formation. Sadly, many couples suffer from infertility. Even in their struggle, they can provide a powerful witness of love, sacrifice, and fidelity. In all this and more, we see the family as the Domestic Church.
