Must Every Catholic Be Traditional? (Fr. John Perricone) 3/19/26
19 maart 2026 · 51 min
We welcome back Fr. John Perricone to examine how the term “traditional Catholic” has, in some contexts, taken on a derogatory connotation, even within sectors of the Church’s own hierarchy. What does it truly mean to be a “traditional Catholic,” and how can this identity be properly understood apart from caricature or misuse? How might a renewed embrace of the Church’s beautiful and sacred traditions prove beneficial for all Catholics? Lees meer

SSPX, Synodality and Canon Law (Fr. Gerald Murray) 3/17/26
17 maart 2026 · 50 min
We welcome back canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray to examine the canonical and ecclesial dimensions of the ongoing tensions between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Vatican. How should this disagreement be understood in light of Church law and authority, and what principles are at stake in evaluating its possible resolution? Why does the recent synodal document addressing the role of women in the Church raise further theological and canonical questions regarding the nature of sacred tradition? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts. Lees meer

6 maart 2026 · 51 min
Fr. Robert McTeigue provides guidance for those who are confused about worship. In a world that often appears increasingly disordered, why should the faithful approach divine worship with greater seriousness and reverence? If the Mass is frequently treated as a mere social obligation or an inconvenience, what responsibility do clergy and laity share in restoring a proper understanding of its sacred purpose as an act of reparation offered to God for debts that can never be fully repaid? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass. Lees meer
