The Mass is the most important activity Catholics engage in, yet I’ve found that most Catholics don’t really understand its purpose. We’ll break it down today.

The current Israeli-American war against Iran involves the three great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which imparts the conflict with serious religious implications. We’ll look at how this war is—and isn’t—a religious war... more

Whenever the looming threat of an AI-world is discussed, the biggest fear often expressed is a Terminator- or Matrix-like apocalypse that would wipe out the human race. That’s not going to happen, and it’s actually a distraction from the real apocaly... more

  • Vatican II 60 years

    Eric: I suggest you discuss with and then interview Fr. Murr on this subject. He and I are the same age. I’m a revert and love the TLM and attend the NO with my wife.

    Fr. Murr celebrates TLM every day , and I’m sure you know his history with the Vatican and his friendship with some big hitters of the 70’s and 80’s.

    He has a good understanding and view of Vatican II which I think is really much like your own.

    Vatican II is legitimate but has issues in some documents.

    The fruit is mostly terrible... more

  • Appreciate the Perspectives

    I read Crisis Magazine but this was my first time listening to your podcast. I listened to the episode about the new pope. I appreciated the diversity of viewpoints even among 3 traditional practicing Catholics. While I have heard some other perspectives that mirrored some of your thoughts, I still learned a lot and I appreciate the church history lesson as well as debunking some of the rumors out there. I will definitely listen again!

  • Not well thought out

    I listened to one episode and that was all I needed to understand the host doesn’t have a deep understanding of what the Church is and and what the responsibilities of the Bishops and Laity are. With his fundamentally flawed “the Bishops have no say in immigration policy” he exposes himself as just as morally compromised as the bishops he is accusing of being compromised. I won’t be sharing this and will make sure to tell people it’s toxic to the Faith.

  • Great content

    Long time listener and reader. Always a blessing to follow along with what Crisis puts out. Only complaint is that this podcast is the only podcast I listen to that has spotty audio.
