The Mission That Turned Cannibals Into Christians | Heroic Hotline | Fr. Joseph Tuscan
1h

What if love—not conquest—changed everything?
In this gripping and hope-filled conversation, Father Joseph Tuscan recounts the incredible true story of how a few Capuchin friars entered the literal Stone Age of Papua New Guinea—and within years, witnessed entire villages abandon cannibalism, polygamy, and tribal warfare for the Catholic faith. Why did it happen? Because they preached one thing: Christian marriage.

This video is more than a missionary tale—it’s a mirror held up to our modern world. As Father Joseph explains, what converted these so-called "savages" wasn't coercion but a powerful encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the dignity of women, and the beauty of family. And in contrast, what has modern Western culture lost?

You'll also hear about the centuries-old movement of Christian Mothers, a worldwide apostolate still thriving today—quietly transforming families, marriages, and entire cultures through witness, prayer, and sacrifice.

If you’ve ever wondered how faith changes a people—or what hope there is for today's broken families and fatherless homes—this is the story to watch.
