  • Praying for you

    Thank you for sharing your cross with your listeners. I once spent the night in a hospital room with a nurse and a broken back beside my crushed child after being hit by a drunk driver. A beautiful holy nurse sat with me and told me of the most profound experience she had bringing a child into this world who lived only a day. She felt His presence and it profoundly changed her life testimony. Do not lose hope, for He can do all things. Trust that your heartache is a testimony of love in this da... more

  • This is Protestantism

    KH is using his considerable gifts to sow division, just like his serpentine ally, Taylor Marshall. The recognize and resist movement is illogical at best. I've listened a lot and KH's position doesn't make sense. KH relentlessly praises the excommunicated Marcel Lefebvre as a saint and encourages his arrogant, disobedient spirit. It reminds me of how SDA's follow Ellen White. It isn't helpful to a Catholic soul to listen to diabolical deceptions from Lefebvre. He is just a man, not a saint, and... more

  • Great content

    Not sure why some of the reviews below are so uncharitable. If you listen to these enough, you know that Kennedy has a passion for bringing Truth back to society after his own experience with Woodstock “Catholicism.” I like how many of his episodes are not too long like some other podcasts can be.

  • Please Consider

    Public education is broken because the world is not our home. Nuns created many of our first Catholic schools for free to educate people so they could earn a wage and escape poverty. Many are corrupted by ecumenism and money so they do not evangelize but resembles the public system. It’s hard to hear you categorize every teacher as corrupted. There are some trying to carve out space for our existence. Poor people need to see some representation of the faithful in public education. It is unthin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Vatican II to Synodality: Birds of a Feather (Plus, will SSPX laypeople be penalized?)
Q: Is there any hope in scholastic philosophy to counter modernist trends in the Church?
Yes, the host asserts that Thomism provides a robust framework to preserve truth and continuity, using Aquinas as a guide to resist modernist interpretations.
From Vatican II to Synodality: Birds of a Feather (Plus, will SSPX laypeople be penalized?)
Q: How does Vatican II relate to modernism and the concept of truth developing over time?
He contends that Vatican II is used to justify a perceived development of truth that can imply a rupture with earlier constant teaching, which he views as a grave error linked to modernist philosophy.
From Vatican II to Synodality: Birds of a Feather (Plus, will SSPX laypeople be penalized?)
Q: What is the fundamental problem with how Synodality is framed in relation to tradition?
The host argues that Synodality foregrounds communal experiences over the apostolic teaching handed down, reversing the traditional order of tradition and risking heresy through modernist influence.
From Vatican II to Synodality: Birds of a Feather (Plus, will SSPX laypeople be penalized?)
Q: With this new document on the implementation of Synodality, are they planning on rewriting the Novus Ordo liturgy?
The host suggests that even if changes are proposed, the true light of tradition remains in the deposit of faith, and warns that the mechanics of rewriting could divert from the essential nature of doctrine.
Charismatic 'Control' Tactic, Theistic Evolution NONSENSE, and Courtship for Youngsters | Q&A
Q: Can charismatic gifts operate within those who are not in a state of grace?
Yes, gifts could manifest, but the deeper concern is that many so-called gifts aren't true spiritual gifts at all and may be influenced by psychology, cultural expectations, or other forces.
