  • 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.

  • Traditional mass supporter

    Thank you for trying to bring some solid ground to the faithful. You asked about pilgrimages in the US like Chartes in France. The traditional mass does one in upstate NY for the North American Martyrs in Auriesville. It’s beautiful although they have banned some groups from saying the mass in the large cathedral. Hopefully more will attend and they will grow throughout our country. Please pray for them.
