  2. 9

    Pope Leo After One Year

    Pope Leo just celebrated his first anniversary in the papal office. How’s he doing? How should Catholics evaluate a pope’s time in office? Should they even do so?

  3. 8

    Two Religions in One Church

    Since the 1960’s two separate religions—progressive Catholicism and traditional Catholicism—have co-existed within the one Catholic Church. What does this mean for the future of the Church?

    Can Being Nice Save the World? (Guest: Robert Greving)

    In an era of bombastic politicians and online personalities, being polite, nice, and courteous has taken a back seat. But today’s guest believes it should be front-and-center again, and that it’s essential to the Church’s mission to save souls.

  5. 6

    The Tragedy of the Ecumenical Movement

    The meeting between Pope Leo and the female “Archbishop” of Canterbury puts in stark contrast what’s been true for decades: the ecumenical movement is a failed project that’s become a farce.

    Exploring Our Origins: How Evolution Contradicts Both Faith and Reason (Guest: Steve Greene)

    Theistic evolution has become a quasi-official Catholic position these days. But today’s guest exposes the fundamental flaws in this worldview and how it contradicts both the Catholic Faith and scientific findings.

  7. 4

    Responding to Trump Defenders & Leo Critics

    We’ve recently published a number of articles critical of President Trump and praising Pope Leo, and we’ve heard from many readers in disagreement. We want to address the most common objections.

    The Church is the New Israel (Guest: Dr. Matthew Tsakanikas)

    Theology professor Dr. Matthew Tsakanikas explains how the whole of Catholic Tradition—from St. Paul to Vatican II—has taught that the Church is the new Israel, and how that should impact our view of the modern state of Israel and the Zionist project.

    Pope Leo vs. President Trump: Whose Side Are You On?

    Are Catholic Converts Antisemitic?

    A recent article at the Daily Wire argued that a “troubling pattern is emerging” among new Catholic converts; it claims that many are antisemitic. Is this true? And what is the proper attitude of Catholics toward the Jewish people?

    Why Communion in the Hand Should Be Banned

    Bishop Athanasius Schneider joins us to talk about the sources of today's widespread indifference and disbelief toward the Eucharist, and what we can do to combat it.

    The Return of the Pachamama

    It was recently discovered that Fr. Robert Prevost—the future Pope Leo XIV—likely participated in a pachamama ritual in 1995 when he was a South American missionary priest. What are Catholics to do with this information?

    Remaking Jesus

    Most problems in the Church today can be reduced to a single cause: we’ve remade Jesus into our modern image of what Christ should be instead of being faithful to the Jesus Christ of the Gospels.
