Today, John, Sam, and our guest, Fr. Ken Garaci, discuss how he went from being a profit-driven agnostic business executive to a Catholic priest who constantly guides men in defeating Satan and resisting his temptations. The story of how God so clearly intervened in his selfish life serves as a reminder to all of us that God is always seeking our souls. Fr. Ken delivers one incredible statement after another to remind each of us that we must wake up, truly comprehend the world around us, and utilize the tools God has provided to overcome Satan while simultaneously growing in love for Christ. We are all engaged in a battle, whether we are aware of it or not; the world depends on our response to the call.Spiritual Warfare and Divine Mercy: The Weapon for Our Time - <a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/spiritual-warfare-and-divine-mercy-the-weapon-of-our-times/">https://tanbooks.com/products/spiritual-warfare-and-divine-mercy-the-weapon-of-our-times/</a>Fathers of Mercy - https://fathersofmercy.com🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com (Including a talk with Gabe Castillo and dozens of other content)🔴 🔴 Help Support the Catholic Gentleman - https://catholicgentleman.com/supportBinding Prayer by Fr. Chad RippergerIn the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God,Jesus, I ask You to render all spirits impotent, paralyzed and ineffective in attempting to take revenge against me, my family, my friends, my community, and those who pray for me and my family.I ask You to bind all evil spirits, all powers of the air, the water, the ground, the fire, under ground, or wherever they exercise their powers, any satanic forces in nature and any and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters.I ask You to bind by Thy Precious Blood all of the attributes, aspects and characteristics, interactions, communications and deceitful games of the evil spirits.I ask You to break any and all bonds, ties, and attachments in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, as a young man, he left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and achieved business success, but made little room for God. God, however, did not give up on him. During this journey, Our Lord presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and to ask the question "What is Truth?" Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism, to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a>

Wyoming Whiskey they are proud of their state and their spirits. the distillery was founded in 2009 by Kate and Brad Mead and their friend David DeFazio. But they had the help of an experienced guiding hand — Steve Nally, former master distiller at Makers Mark. The first commercial Whiskey was released as a four year old in 2012, but they state that all current Whiskies are a minimum of five years old. Importantly, they state loud and clear that none of their spirits are sourced. Every drop is distilled and aged on site at their facility in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, all the grains are farmed within one hundred miles, and the water comes forma local well sunk into an ancient limestone aquifer. And you’ve just got to respect that.

A Life of Reparation

In today's episode, hosts John Heinen and Sam Guzman discuss how the summer often presents difficulties for men pursuing holiness. When your summer is filled with travel, late night conversations, and children staying up late or not active in school work, it can be an occasion to loosen your own disciplines and perseverance in holiness. We discuss ways to avoid this from happening, as well as insights as to what unique opportunities summer can provide us. Finally, we turn to Archbishop Fulton Sheen to remind us of three laws necessary to achieve true happiness. 🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 🔴Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - https://welcomehisheart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Can you do hard things? Can you get yourself to do things that you really don't want to do? That's what we're discussing on today's episode. Discipline, self-denial, and self-mastery are all fundamental to a Christian life. In the secular world, being disciplined might look like going to the gym regularly, eating healthy, and being productive. Why? Because all these take effort and a willingness to forego what is easy, for what is good.As Christians, being disciplined looks like going to...

Episode 6: "The Body Reveals Man" features Catholic philosopher Dr. Peter Kreeft as we consider the meaning of the human body and how the body makes visible the invisible reality of the person created in the image and likeness of God, in light of St. John Paul II’s "Theology of the Body." This episode focuses on the truth that we are our bodies (as well as our souls), how we are called to be the image of God in the world, and how misunderstanding the meaning of the body has profound consequences for individuals and for society.Guest Info:<ul><li>Dr. Peter Kreeft - A convert to Roman Catholicism from a Calvinist upbringing, Dr. Kreeft is a renowned philosopher and teacher of Catholicism. He has authored a total of 95 books on Christian philosophy, theology, and apologetics, including Handbook of Christian Apologetics and Christianity for Modern Pagans.

BONUS | Conversion, Crisis, & Spiritual Warfare | Matt Fradd Show Ep 2.

In today’s episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with&nbsp;Dr. Deborah Savage, Catholic theologian, philosophical anthropologist, and founder/director of the&nbsp;Institute for the Study of Man and Woman&nbsp;at&nbsp;Franciscan University of Steubenville. This conversation tackles some of the most urgent questions facing the Church and culture today:<ul><li>What does it mean to be a man?</li><li>What does it mean to be a woman?</li><li>And how do we recover clarity about the human person in an age of confusion about sex, gender, identity, and the body?</li></ul> Dr. Savage shares her remarkable journey—from the corporate world and manufacturing leadership to Thomistic philosophy, Catholic theology, and decades of research into the&nbsp;complementarity of men and women. Along the way, she explains why&nbsp;Thomistic realism&nbsp;is essential for reclaiming truth about the human person—and why the Church’s teaching remains uniquely grounded in reality. We also dive deep into:<ul><li>John Paul II’s anthropology&nbsp;and why it’s a powerful evangelical tool today</li><li>Genesis 1 and Genesis 2&nbsp;and what they reveal about masculinity and femininity</li><li>The meaning of the&nbsp;masculine genius&nbsp;and the&nbsp;feminine genius</li><li>Why we can’t understand men without women—or women without men</li><li>The modern&nbsp;crisis of men, and how our culture has misunderstood masculinity</li><li>Why Dr. Savage’s Institute includes both&nbsp;theology and philosophy&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;hard sciences + social sciences</li><li>The importance of fathers and mothers in forming children through the “law of gratuity” and the “law of exchange”</li><li>Why healing the family and rebuilding civilization requires a return to God’s design</li></ul> This is a hopeful, challenging, and deeply timely episode for&nbsp;Catholic parents, students, educators, young adults, and anyone seeking clarity&nbsp;in a confusing cultural moment. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4qeIqHF" target="_blank">Franciscan University of Steubenville</a> - Live the Truth -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast</a> -Follow Franciscan-Instagram -&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/franciscanuniversity" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/franciscanuniversity</a>Facebook -&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FranciscanUniversity/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/FranciscanUniversity/</a>X -&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/FranciscanU" target="_blank">https://x.com/FranciscanU</a>YouTube -&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@franciscanu" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@franciscanu</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction01:22 Start of Interview04:11 Dr. Deborah Savage's Journey to Theology08:15 What is Thomistic Realism?11:48 Saint John Paul II's Anthropology18:13 Inspiration to Study the Masculine and Feminine Genius27:12 Insights from Genesis on Gender Roles38:44 Understanding the Fall and Its Impact on Relationships42:09 The Crisis of Masculinity in Modern Society43:30 The Role of the Birth Control Pill in Gender Dynamics49:37 How do we affirm authentic masculinity55:59 Integrating Science with Theology in Understanding Gender04:45 The Mission and Future of the Institute for Man and Woman09:36 Goodbyes

We Were Born For This w/ Fr. John Riccardo

"It's not you it's me" - Remember that episode from Seinfeld? Here's a clip: <a href="https://youtu.be/2uAj4wBIU-8" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/2uAj4wBIU-8</a>
Sometimes, it really is ... me. We need to get a point and ask ourselves, "Do I really want to be a Saint?" Striving to be a Saint and to Glorify God in all things demands that we ask God for the courage to see when it's not the Other in our lives, it's us.

Imagined Slights

Producing Cabrini and Other Faith-Driven Films | Leo Severino | R4H In this episode, we welcome Leo Severino - producer of the well-known films Bella and Sound of Freedom - to discuss his new film Cabrini about the life and work of Mother Frances Cabrini: nun, Italian emigrant, and first American saint. We discuss how Leo came to dedicate his professional life to making faith-driven films of high quality as positive alternatives to much of what is comes out of Hollywood. We also delve into his approach to film-making as a way to bring the beauty of the Catholic faith to a universal audience in a way that attracts them. Cabrini - Film SynopsisFrom Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of Sound of Freedom, comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children. Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor to secure housing and healthcare for society's most vulnerable. With broken English and poor health, Cabrini builds an empire of hope unlike anything the world had ever seen. Hosted by Mario Costabile | Executive Director of Array of Hope  - Sponsors -The Leo House: A Historic Catholic Guesthouse for All Travelers has a faith-filled heritage dating back over a century ago to when it was run by sisters in the 1800’s. Since then it has grown and flourished into the best place for Catholic and non-Catholic travelers alike to stay in New York City.

Peter's Bold Step

Episode replay from the first season. Today's guest is Fr. Paul Scalia, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Arlington. Fr. Scalia shares his testimony and a bit about growing up with his father, Antonin Scalia. He talks about his calling into the priesthood and what it's like to be a priest for such a young diocese. We discuss the state of men today and how in today's society, men have been deprived of heroes and the role of providing and protecting. Additionally, we talk about the need for fraternity, specifically in seminaries and the priesthood, and for fatherhood in the family and the Church.

Pardon My French

This Corpus Christi Sunday, we reflect on the history of God's relationship with us. From the Passover through to the Resurrection, Christ shows us how he lays down his body for us, you and me. And he laid it down even before anyone took it from him. We are wounded sinners, blessed by the body of the Son of God. Join Mike in his reflections on the final covenant between God and Creation. This week on the Heroic Word, Mike Donovan, a Heroic Leadership Coach from New York, shares his reflections on the Scripture readings for this Sunday.

Corpus Christi: The Eucharist as the Final Covenant

Protecting your wife and family in 2026 looks very different than it did even a few years ago. The pressures facing marriages today are often subtle rather than dramatic. Constant noise, distraction, comparison, stress, and moral confusion now have unprecedented access to the home. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt examine why many men feel stretched thin yet unsure how to truly guard what has been entrusted to them.
 
Rather than reducing protection to control or physical danger alone, John and Devin break down four concrete ways husbands are called to stand between their wives, children, and the forces that quietly erode peace and unity.

The Husband's Authority (4 Ways Men Are Called to Protect Their Family)

Why are men disappearing from church pews&mdash;and what can we do about it? In this honest and deeply practical episode of Men Answering the Heroic Call, Tom Blanchek and Dean Patterson tackle the Catholic man crisis head-on. With startling stats, raw stories, and battle-tested wisdom, they reveal how isolation, apathy, and cultural confusion are robbing men of purpose&mdash;and why one handshake can change everything.
What if evangelization wasn&rsquo;t a speech, but a smile? What if leadership started with &ldquo;pizza and beer&rdquo; instead of pressure? This conversation offers hope to any man who&rsquo;s felt the nudge to reach out&mdash;but didn&rsquo;t know how. From cigar nights and bonfires to Mass greetings and quiet prayer, you&rsquo;ll learn how the smallest invitations can lead to eternal impact.
You don&rsquo;t need to be perfect. You just need to show up. This episode will light your fire&mdash;and give you the tools to pass it on.

How Men and Women Differ in Unselfishness | Part 26 | Lent 2024

There is no better way to launch Season 6 of The BeatiDudes than to spend quality time at the tiny table with our longtime friend, youth minister, camp director, and culture-builder, John Egan.
 
This episode blends laughter, faith, and leadership lessons as John shares his winding journey from childhood commercials in New York, seminary life, youth ministry, The Pines Catholic Camp, and eventually into executive leadership at Lucid Private Offices. Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and John explore:
 
•	John’s childhood modeling gigs, his quick detour through seminary, and how ministry prepared him for business leadership.
•	Years spent at The Pines Catholic Camp, living faith with family and showing young people what authentic Catholic marriage looks like.
•	Faith in the Secular Workplace: How to bring joy, prayer, and servant leadership into a for-profit setting without compromise.
•	Culture That Sticks: Building a team where people *want* to come to work
•	Humor Meets Holiness: From Ghostbusters nicknames to “snap snap snap” applause, the BeatiDudes keep the joy flowing while grounding the conversation in Christ and community.
 
John’s story reminds us that where you work matters, not just for productivity but for people. Whether leading at camp, selling cars with integrity, or shaping culture in business, he models how faith and joy overflow when Christ is the true foundation.

The following 25 rules for spiritual warfare are drawn from that revelation, recorded in entry 1760 of Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul. Jesus begins, "My daughter, I want to teach you about spiritual warfare," and proceeds to offer clear, concrete instructions—commands, warnings, and consolations—meant to strengthen her soul for battle. These words, though given to St. Faustina, speak to all who seek holiness in the midst of trial.

Essential tools for Starting & Building Ministry to Men | Mike Donovan & Dean Patterson

Joe Halsell runs a construction company, and drank hard to handle life. Then Exodus 90 forced him to face what was actually enslaving him.&nbsp;
AA made it real by dropping him into a &ldquo;barrier free&rdquo; room of men offering unconditional help &mdash; &ldquo;24-7, here&rsquo;s my cell phone number.&rdquo; It taught him to shut off the spotlight, strip away ego, and live by a hard rule: &ldquo;Your very life depends upon the degree to which you serve others.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Now he&rsquo;s turning that arc into a book and a practice &mdash; daily prayer, examen, and Friday bed deliveries instead of the bar &mdash; aimed at the man who thinks his life&rsquo;s over, because &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not&hellip; it&rsquo;s just beginning.&rdquo;

Formed to Serve: A Father's Wake-up Call | Heroic Stories | E6

Every man wants to be great but few are willing to endure what it takes to become a saint. In this powerful All Saints Day reflection, Fr. Dom reminds us that sainthood isn’t for the perfect but for the men who refuse to quit the fight.Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew and the Beatitudes, this episode calls every Catholic man to return to the fundamentals: obedience to the commandments, the sacraments, and daily perseverance in the spiritual battle. Fr. Dom challenges you to stop making excuses, pick up your spiritual weapons, and start running the race toward heaven just like the saints did.He breaks down what it means to live the Beatitudes in real time, reminding us that the saints were ordinary men and women who chose extraordinary endurance. Just like a triathlete pushing through pain, the saint keeps moving forward even when everything in him screams to stop. The path to heaven is not for the faint-hearted. It’s for those who never give up.In this episode, you’ll discover:<ul><li>Why All Saints Day is more than a commemoration—it’s a battle call for the living.</li><li>How “a saint is a sinner that never gives up” should define your daily fight.</li><li>Why obedience to the commandments is not optional for those who love Christ.</li><li>How the sacraments—especially Confession and the Eucharist—are your training fuel for holiness.</li><li>Why the saints in heaven are cheering you on like teammates in a race, calling out, “You can do this!”</li></ul>Fr. Dom issues a direct challenge to every man: Honor the saints, study their lives, and imitate their endurance. Find a saint whose story matches your own struggles and ask for his intercession. Heaven is your real home—live like it.He reminds us that to love Christ is to obey Him. As Scripture says, “If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15). Those who claim to love God yet ignore His commands are, as St. John says, liars. This is the hard truth every man needs to face: holiness demands action, not lip service.You were confirmed to be a soldier of Christ. The Holy Spirit has already equipped you with every weapon you need. It’s time to unlock that power and start living as a man who trains for eternity.Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“A saint is a sinner that never gives up.”</li><li>“The saints are in heaven shouting, ‘You can do this. I’ve been where you are. Pray more. Go to confession. Persevere.’”</li><li>“If you love me, you</li></ol><a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Episode 27 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

The key to being a christian Father by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers. He discusses what it means to be a Catholic man in today’s society by exploring how contemporary culture speaks to men about truth, faith, and the meaning of life. Men who live their faith in fidelity to God’s holy will become free to love and more open to receive the gift of grace in response to the Lord’s call to “be perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Deacon Harold shows how an authentic, Christ-centred male spirituality fosters and nurtures growth in holiness, encourages men to become defenders of the culture of life, and inspires men to become loving servants of their wives, families, and the Church.

The key to being a Christian Father - Deacon Harold Burke Sivers

“Return to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning; rend your hearts and not your garments.”   Rending garments refers to the ancient Jewish practice of tearing clothes as a physical expression of grief and anger in the face of death.  God wants more than just an outward sign of repentance—he wants our hearts to be torn, to be deeply repentant and sorrowful as a sign of turning away from sin and back toward the Father.  Deacon Harold and Fr. Pereti share more thoughts as we head into Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 17:8-12

Ash Wednesday

Coached Team USA to the Olympic gold medal in 2004 in Athens and the silver medal in 2008 in Beijing in women's softball, but, ten days before the 2004 Games he lost his wife unexpectedly to a brain aneurysm. Now entering his 34th season as the head softball coach (women's softball) at the University of Arizona, he is also the Division I wins leader in NCAA softball history and has been inducted into numerous Halls of Fame. He talks about his faith journey, including his involvement with the Knights of Columbus, his priority on getting to Mass despite softball games and tournaments being scheduled on the weekend, and more.

Paul shares his extraordinary near-death experience testimony after suffering eight cardiac arrests in two days.

WOF 377: How to Live with Joy w/ Chris Stefanick

The concept of Redemption is that the relationship we should have had with God—that went fundamentally awry through Original Sin—has now been reestablished in and through Jesus Christ.  So Who IS Jesus? Deacon Harold answers that deep question today on Beacon of Truth. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 72.

Who IS Jesus?

When Christians look to grow in leadership there’s no better teacher than Jesus.  Throughout the Gospel our Lord is confronted with many of the same situations we find ourselves confronted with both at work and in the family.  In many ways his world was not that different from our own.  And so watching him lead in his world can help us lead in ours.  In this fourth episode in our series, I look at how our Lord focuses in on the heart without allowing his disciples to get distracted with lesser things.

How demons strategize to ruin souls | Ep 262

For most people, work is something that is drudgery, not something that we necessarily rejoice in. But for a Christian, work is meaningful. How do I find meaning in my work? How do I move from simply doing things every day to finding the passion that God wants me to find?

DGT Episode 21 - Work And Love - The Spirituality of Work Part 2

In his letter to Persons In The World, St. Francis de Sales writes admirable advice for those whose vocation it is to live in the world but not be of it.  For some Christians involving ourselves in the world is a distraction and others disparage the vocation of business as a temptation that could threaten one’s salvation.  But it was not so for St. Francis de Sales.  On the contrary, he encourages those who are called to engage in the world but gives them great advice about avoiding vanity and ambition.

Ep 83 | The Five Most Important Things To Do With Your Money

Today Deacon Harold helps us celebrate All Souls Day for Word of God Wednesday and also looks into Soulful Psalm 106:32-37

All Souls Day

The Tradition here in question comes from the apostles and hands on what they received from Jesus' teaching and example and what they learned from the Holy Spirit.  Deacon Harold is talking about the Sacred Tradition along with Psalm 5 in the Soulful Psalms.

Sacred Tradition

Live on: March 27, 2021 from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm central time.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as the universal patron of the Catholic Church. In his apostolic letter Patris Corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis urges the faithful to imitate the virtues of the Foster Father of Jesus, describing St. Joseph as a resourceful and loving father who protected the Holy Family and thus became “a minister of salvation” for all. We can draw much spiritual and practical wisdom by meditating on the life and virtues of St. Joseph, especially as he is depicted in scripture. Besides Mary, no other saint has as many titles that refer to his spiritual gifts and holy identity. (The Litany of St. Joseph lists 24 different forms of address.)

Summit Topics –

We Need St. Joseph and His Virtues: The crucial need for the masculine genius through the lens of the cardinal virtues, particularly temperance and fortitude, as manifested in the life of St. Joseph.

Virtues of St. Joseph Point us to Christ: Joseph was a virtuous man in the way he cared for his family, practiced his faith and listened to messengers from God, the virtue he displayed is best understood in relation to Jesus Christ.

Happiness, Sex, and The Spiritual Life (Christopher West) | Ep. 507

EP 138 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

In this robust conversation, Jack Beers shares his deeply personal journey of overcoming a devastating Crohn’s disease diagnosis and the heroic, faith-fueled love of his mother that changed everything.
With raw honesty and spiritual depth, Jack reflects on the influence of St. John Paul II and Viktor Frankl in shaping his understanding of suffering, identity, and personal transformation. His story is not one of miraculous healing, but of interior renewal, choosing a new story, a new song, and a new self, even when nothing externally seemed to change.
The BeatiDudes explore:
<ul>
 <li>How every choice shapes your soul, shrinking or expanding it</li>
 <li>The impact of Jack’s mother’s fierce love and prophetic challenge</li>
 <li>Why “incurable” is not a declaration, but a dare</li>
 <li>Drawing meaning from suffering through love, service, and attitude</li>
 <li>What forgiveness bracelets have to do with Jack’s journey</li>
 <li>How to co-create your future self with God, even in an ordinary job</li>
</ul>
This episode with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein is rich with insight, encouragement, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating difficulty, doubt, or disillusionment. It’s a masterclass in personalism, discipleship, and hope in action.

Surviving Cancer and Finding God (Tammy Peterson) | Ep. 531

Only 30% of Catholics believe in the True Presence of the Eucharist.&nbsp;
Only 24% of Catholics go to mass every Sunday.&nbsp;
98% of Catholics use contraception.&nbsp;
How many consider themselves pro-choice? How many support cohabitation? How many are regularly viewing porn?&nbsp;
Sadly, this was our "normal" for Catholics before the pandemic. Maybe it's time we really reconsider whether we want to return to normal after all this is over.&nbsp;
Fr. Meyer shares all these stats and more as he and Nathan dissect the issue of the pre-pandemic Catholic apathy and lukewarmness. This episode is a reflection of some sad realities of the past and a hopeful dream session for a brighter future.&nbsp;
