Please stop Cursing!!!
This is by far one of my favorite podcasts. Father you are so insightful and full of godly wisdom. Please stop shaming the name of Jesus with your profanity. Every time you curse I have to turn the show off and I hate that.

Please pray for us
Thank you for investigating the plight of the traditional faithful. We want to stand with Jesus, wherever He leads us with the Holy Spirit. May the Vatican allow this spirit to work among the faithful to save families and souls. He said let your yes be your yes and your no be your no, anything else is from the devil. Please pray for simple faith like a child in a good Father.

Incredible Podcast for Catholics
I was recently turned onto this podcast and I am so glad that I was. Fr. McTeigue is extremely intelligent and very traditional, offering a thoughtful and pastoral approach to complex issues and current events. I’ve already benefitted greatly by listening to his show and I look forward to continuing to do so. I highly recommend this podcast to all Catholics/Christians of good will. God bless you, Father. Thank you for your service to Christ and His Church. Please know of my prayers for you.

Deplorable
The way this PRIEST talks about people is shallow offensive and cringe worthy. Very alarming this man touts himself as a man of god. Hard pass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Christian Nationalism–Yes or No? (Dr. R. R. Reno) 10/22/26

Q: Where do Catholics go from here and having the conversation with the Protestants who want to have this conversation?

Reno encourages Catholics to connect with conservative Protestant congregations and discuss renewing the country through Christian resources, arguing that a theologically clear voice can have significant influence.

Christian Nationalism–Yes or No? (Dr. R. R. Reno) 10/22/26

Q: Why is it that when you say the words Christian Nationalism, some people lose their minds, they pick up rocks, they point fingers, they say things like Christian Taliban?

Reno says nationalism became discredited after World War II because it was associated with fascism, while Christianity is often treated by secular progressives as an outdated remnant of the past. Together, the terms provoke those reactions.

Does the Church Have a Hearing Problem? (John Horvat) 10/27/26

Q: If you had a captive audience of bishops and legislators, what would you say needs to be done regarding borders, immigration, etc., to have a just society that promotes an authentically Catholic understanding of the common good?

Horvat points to Catholic teaching, including Thomas Aquinas, as supporting a balanced approach that combines charity with justice, lawful entry, and integration into society.

Does the Church Have a Hearing Problem? (John Horvat) 10/27/26

Q: John, does the church have a hearing problem? And I want to focus especially on on immigration, because it seems to immigration, there's a lot of people who are not being heard, and other people who seem to be disproportionately amplified. What's going on here?

Horvat says Church leaders, particularly some in the hierarchy, support mass and illegal immigration while many Catholics in the pews oppose it, creating a disconnect in whose concerns are heard.

Canadian Death Cult? (Amanda Achtman) 10/13/26

Q: Can you begin to talk about the financial roots of the euthanasia movement and how that too can become expansive?

Achtman discusses personal financial insecurity, government cost-savings estimates, and limited access to healthcare as pressures that can make euthanasia feel like a choice without adequate alternatives.
