  • Actual orthodox Roman Catholic podcast

    If you want to hear authentic Catholicism, without any compromise with the Satanic Modernist Vatican II Novus Ordo religion, this is the best podcast. The remnant Catholic Church can be found here. The SSPV is the best IMO.

    If you justify the hate and violence committed on Jan 6th on behalf of a man who encourages hatred and sin and has never repented from publically bragging about violating the 7th Commandment you are an agent of Satan not God

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SSPX Consecrations? "Pestiferous Heresy of Sedevacantism"? Synod and Sodomy? "Magnifica Humanitas"?
Q: How do you view the Magnifica Humanitas encyclical in relation to traditional Catholic teaching?
The host and guest critique Magnifica Humanitas as a modernist document that attempts to redefine human dignity and morality, arguing it undermines the ordinary magisterium and natural law, while insisting on fidelity to timeless Catholic doctrine.
SSPX Consecrations? "Pestiferous Heresy of Sedevacantism"? Synod and Sodomy? "Magnifica Humanitas"?
Q: What are your thoughts on the SSPX consecrations and the potential excommunications by the Novus Ordo?
Fr. Jenkins explains that while the consequences could be excommunication, the broader concern is preserving doctrinal integrity and resisting modernist compromise, emphasizing that traditional Catholics should remain firm in their stance without compromising core beliefs.
Redemptorists. U.S. Constitution? Judges? Therapists/Devil? Pagan Easter? History Recurs. St.Pius V!
Q: Viewer asks whether it is morally permissible to take an oath to support the Constitution given its handling of religious liberty and separation of church and state.
Father Jenkins explains that the separation of church and state is a misinterpretation, and argues the Constitution does not establish a state church; while acknowledging flaws, he suggests the document allows Catholic liberty and is compatible with Catholic practice when understood properly.
Blessing LGBT? Leo Praises Mullally. Iranians Praise Trump. Assassination! Vatican v. Benedict?
Q: What did you think about Leo's stance on informal blessings for irregular couples?
He argues that while formalized blessings are not approved, there is a sense in which everyone can be welcomed, but the host emphasizes that this clashes with traditional Catholic teaching and implies endorsing mortal sin.
Fr. Ripperger- Novus Ordo or Traditional? Charlie Kirk on Israel. Support for Trump? Excommunication?
Q: Did St. Pius X speak infallibly about Zionism, and could he be wrong if not ex cathedra?
St. Pius X spoke through the ordinary Magisterium, and his statements on Zionism are treated as infallible within that framework, not requiring ex cathedra to be authoritative.
