|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8/26/26 | Daniel Ortega: A Warning on the Limits of Political Power | Daniel Ortega has told Nicaragua to forget about elections. Nobody who has watched his regime work should be surprised. What should alarm Americans more is what Ortega and his wife, co-president Rosario Murillo, have already done to the one institution in Nicaragua they cannot fully control: the Catholic Church. His crackdown on Catholics shows why religious freedom is not a gift from the state — and why Americans should never take it for granted. Andrea Picciotti-Bayer has more. | — | ||||||
| 8/25/26 | Hold Fast to the Traditions that you were Taught | In today’s First Reading, St Paul instructs the Thessalonians to ”stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.” Marcus unpacks today’s readings. | — | ||||||
| 8/24/26 | Baptism and the Social Life of the Church | The Sacrament of Baptism saves us on an individual level. But it also goes beyond that – it is a vehicle to union with those who need God’s love. Mike Schramm joins us. | — | ||||||
| 8/21/26 | Is Reading Gone for Good? | Rob Corzine unpacks the Sunday readings and David Bonagura asks why reading is on the decline. | — | ||||||
| 8/20/26 | San Antonio Priest Laicized for Schism | Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller of San Antonio has announced that John Mary Foster, a priest of the archdiocese, has been found guilty of schism and has been dismissed from the clerical state. Matthew Bunson has more on this and other Church news. | — | ||||||
| 8/19/26 | Whose Conscience Counts in Virginia? | Newly released texts show that Dr. Anthony Fauci privately told colleagues that a reaction some people had after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” Days later, he told the public that 10,000 pregnant women had received COVID-19 vaccines without any concerning safety signals being detected. “No red flags,” as he put it. Granted, the texts don’t prove the vaccines caused harm. But they do show a gap between what officials knew and worried about privately and what they told the public. All of this makes a court order out of Virginia worth attention. Andrea Picciotti Bayer has more. | — | ||||||
| 8/18/26 | A Hidden Mental Health Crisis in the Church? | A new survey by CatholicTV suggests widespread emotional distress among US Catholics, raising questions about how mental health may shape parish life and Mass attendance. Dr. Greg Popcak joins us. | — | ||||||
| 8/17/26 | A “Striking” warning from the Gold Rush | On August 16, 1896, gold was discovered in the Yukon Territory of Canada, and the Klondike Gold Rush was on. More than 100,000 prospectors migrated north with dreams of striking it rich, but only a few thousand succeeded. It’s a warning for all of us today – where does your treasure lie? Marcus has more. | — | ||||||
| 8/14/26 | Fulton Sheen speaks on the Demonic | In 1974, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen stated that he intended to write a book about the demonic. But such a book never came to fruition. Now, some fifty years later, Sheen’s intended book has finally been compiled, all in his own words.’ Fr. Dave Tomaszycki joins us. | — | ||||||
| 8/13/26 | Blessed Michael McGivney Still Cares for his Flock | Today we celebrate the Feast of Blessed Michael McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus. His feast is today because it falls directly between the anniversaries of his birth and death. We talk more about his life and canonization cause with Brian Caulfield. | — | ||||||

| 8/12/26 | Reading Saint Paul in a Time of Synodality | For the last several years, the Church has been focusing on “synodality.” But many Catholics are still unsure of what the term even means, as many Church documents on the topic tend to be bogged down by bureaucratic jargon. Carl Olson turns to the clear writings of St Paul to help cut through the mess. | — | ||||||
| 8/11/26 | Robin Williams' Passing Anniversary | Today is the anniversary of the death of Robin Williams, who died by suicide in 2014. Starring in films like Aladdin, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Good Morning Vietnam, his voice was woven into the cultural memory for millions. Tragically, the man who brought laughter to so many could not overcome his own tears. Marcus has more. | — | ||||||
| 8/10/26 | Confronting the Opioid Crisis | Deaths from opioid overdoses hit record highs in 2021 and 2022, and are now on the decline. But there is still much work to be done. Mike Vasquez has devoted his life to confronting the opioid crisis on a mental, physical, and spiritual front and he joins us with more. | — | ||||||
| 8/7/26 | The Politics of Faith during the Cold War | How did Roman Catholics shift from being perceived as un-American to emerging as the standard-bearers for political liberty and economic prosperity? We look at the rise of the American Church during the Cold War with D.G. Hart. | — | ||||||
| 8/6/26 | Cash for Baptisms? | An investor in Germany is offering families 500 euros for every child they have baptized. The local diocese has acknowledged the donorʼs intentions but stressed that, from the Churchʼs point of view, there is no financial barrier to baptism in the first place. We talk more about this and other Church news with Matthew Bunson. | — | ||||||
| 8/5/26 | The Latest Attack on Christian Ministries | There is a troubling pattern emerging of government officials in America’s bluest states punishing religious organizations and individuals for simply living their faith. We talk about it with Andrea Picciotti-Bayer. | — | ||||||
| 8/4/26 | The National Debt as a Moral Crisis | The US national debt is hovering around $30 trillion and has hit 100% of the US GDP. How did we end up here and what happens now? James Peregoy joins us. | — | ||||||
| 8/3/26 | Pro-life Movement Mourns Abortionist-Turned Pro-Life Apostle | Dr. Haywood Robinson performed abortions for 14 years before experiencing a radical conversion. He spent the rest of his life spreading the message that “abortion is the greatest injustice of our time.” He recently passed away, and Brian Gibson joins us with a look at his life. | — | ||||||
| 7/31/26 | Unveiling the Truth of Sin and Sanctity with C. S. Lewis | In his timeless work The Screwtape Letters, CS Lewis exposes how subtle distractions, small compromises, spiritual pride, and misplaced fears erode a Christian’s faith and trust in God. We take a deep dive with Andrew Swafford. | — | ||||||
| 7/30/26 | Are Excommunications Inconsistent? | The schism of the traditionalist Priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and its aftermath, has highlighted how the unity in the Church that Leo XIV set as the primary goal of his pontificate is still far from being achieved. And as the Vatican signs off on the ordination of state-approved Chinese bishops, many are left asking why followers of the traditional Mass are excommunicated while Chinese bishops are not. Matthew Bunson joins us. | — | ||||||
| 7/29/26 | Public-School Teachers’ Free Speech? | Sarah Morse is an American teacher working at a high school in Scotland. When her students asked her what she thinks about abortion, she said she opposes it as a Catholic but they were free to have their own opinions. She was fired a few hours later. Morse’s case unfolded under British employment law, but the question it raises is not a foreign one. American teachers face the same scenario, and the answer for them turns on a body of U.S. case law most people have never had reason to learn. Andrea Picciotti-Bayer has more. | — | ||||||
| 7/28/26 | Grief Reobserved: Sage Marriage Advice from Peter Kreeft | Dr. Peter Kreeft recently lost his wife Maria, to whom he was married for 63 years. Shortly after her death, he was asked what advice he had for young married couples, and his response has gone viral. Even in the midst of his grief, he was able to deliver a reflection full of love, wisdom and even humor. Marcus looks at his comments. | — | ||||||
| 7/27/26 | An Inside Look Fulton Sheen’s Path to Sainthood | It has been a long and winding path to beatification for Fulton Sheen. Msgr. Jason Gray has lead the investigation into his cause, and he joins us with an inside look at the process. | — | ||||||
| 7/24/26 | Paying the Price for Ignoring Humane Vitae | On July 25, 1968, Pope Paul VI published Humane Vitae. And on July 25, 1978, the first test-tube baby was born. It seems fitting that these events would fall on the same day; the culture and even some within the church disregarded the warnings of Humane Vitae when it was published, and we’ve been paying the price ever since. Rachel Coleman has more. | — | ||||||
| 7/23/26 | Does the Pope Speak with Political Authority? | US Ambassador Brian Burch recently said that when Pope Leo spoke out against the war in Iran, he was not doing so as a leader of the Roman Catholic Church, adding that he was speaking as a world leader of the Holy See. What authority does the pope have in such occasions? Matthew Bunson joins us with more on this and other Church news. | — | ||||||
