A growing debate in the Catholic Church is the relationship between Judaism and Catholicism. We'll talk with a Jewish convert to Catholicism about the history of Catholic/Jewish relations, antisemitism, and the Zionist project.
After a strong start to the second Trump presidency, things have begun to unravel and support is falling for President Trump. What happened?
Science fiction has been dominated by an atheistic, materialist worldview for decades, helping to lead many of its readers away from transcendent truths. But there's a revival of Catholics writing science fiction that hopes to topple that regime. We'll speak to one such author today.
The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has declared that it is "not appropriate" to give to Mary the often-used title "Co-redemptrix." We'll break down the reasons given and what it means.
With the threat of the food stamp program being temporarily halted for 40+ million Americans, it would be useful to explore the program's morality, both for the individual receiving it and the government offering it.
An upcoming documentary claims the government is covering up proof of extraterrestrial intelligence. What is a Catholic to think about claims of aliens, either visiting us or out in the stars?
Nick Fuentes is one of the most popular, and most controversial, commentators in today's new media landscape. We'll take a look at his work and whether it's a good idea for Catholics to align with him.
With the election of Pope Leo XIV, everyone's talking about Pope Leo XIII's famous encyclical Rerum Novarum. But most of what you read about it is wrong.
Recently the Diocese of Knoxville decided to replace the traditional Latin Mass with a "traditionalized" Novus Ordo. Should traditional Catholics be satisfied with that change?
St. John Henry Newman is about to be declared a Doctor of the Church because of his "decisive contribution to the renewal of theology and to understanding Christian doctrine in its development." We'll look at what Newman meant by "development" (and what he did not mean).
We live in an increasingly anti-Catholic, divisive, and combative society. As Catholics, we need to respond forcefully. I'll detail how I'm doing that today.
Pope Leo upset many Catholics by seeming to support Cardinal Cupich giving a lifetime achievement award to a pro-abortion politician. Is it time to resurrect Recognize and Resist?
Which is the greater threat to the common good and Catholic interests today: Radical Islam or Zionism? Why not both?
Most Catholics believe in a role for the papacy that goes far beyond Church teaching. We'll break down what the Church really says about the duties and powers of a pope (and yes, we'll look at Vatican I).
Pope Leo gave his first full interview last week, and many topics of interest came up, including the future of the TLM and the immutability of the Church's teaching. We'll break down what he said and whether we should be worried.
Now that's it's been a week since Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated, the inevitable conspiracy theories are arising, particularly related to Israel's potential role. Is there any validity to these theories?
America has been in a cold civil war for at least a decade; could the Charlie Kirk assassination turn it into a hot one? We'll look at the different possible scenarios that could play out over the next few years.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk clearly demonstrates that we are fighting against truly evil forces. How should we as Catholics respond?
The recently-canonized Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati have been promoted as "ordinary" Catholics. But are Saints ordinary, and should ordinary Catholics be canonized?
Jason Jones has spent the past three decades on the front lines defending the most vulnerable, from the child in the womb to the Christian threatened by militant Islamists. Now he's trying to protect innocent Palestinians under attack by Israel.
