  • I look forward to it!

    This is the most enjoyable podcast of my week. The Greenes are always well prepared for their interviews. I’ve sometimes heard an author “make the rounds” of podcasts, and the Catholic Conversation interview is the most engaging of them all. Steve & Becky’s pre-interview banter I find very amusing and endearing. I really look forward to Fridays to see who’s on this week’s show. Thank you!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

12/12/25 - Mary Ruth Hackett on Discernment
Q: How do we, especially when it comes to our children, discern where these evil spirits are trying to beat them down?
We need to recognize where our kids are weakest and help them to grow in virtue surrounding those areas.
12/5/25 - Jewish Roots of Catholicism
Q: What is the primary reason why Jews do not believe that Christ is the Jewish Messiah?
The primary obstacles include unfulfilled messianic expectations such as the restoration of peace and the Davidic king, as well as historical issues of persecution and theological disagreements about God's promises to the Jewish people.
12/5/25 - Jewish Roots of Catholicism
Q: What are some of the Jewish dimensions of Catholicism that most Catholics are blissfully unaware of?
The sacraments, particularly the Mass and confession, have their roots in the Jewish traditions and rituals of the Old Testament, which are often overlooked.
11/21/25 - John Priess on Fatima, Prayer and the Eucharist
Q: What are your thoughts on the current lack of belief in the real presence of the Eucharist among Catholics?
The lack of belief results from a disconnection during Mass and a need for deeper understanding and reverence, which can be fostered through Eucharistic adoration and consistent participation in the Mass.
11/21/25 - John Priess on Fatima, Prayer and the Eucharist
Q: What is the significance of the Fatima Family Apostolate?
The Fatima Family Apostolate focuses on spreading the messages of Fatima, particularly emphasizing family devotion through the prayer of the Rosary, wearing the brown scapular, and participating in the five first Saturday devotions.
