👉 Discover how divorce, contraception, and sexual confusion reshaped our culture—and how Christ offers the way back.

In this powerful episode of The Conor Gallagher Show, Fr. Paul Check unpacks the cultural decline from divorce to contraception to same-sex attraction—and how the Church calls us back to truth, virtue, and authentic freedom in Christ. Drawing from his experience as a Marine, moral theologian, and longtime leader of Courage International, Fr. Check sheds light on the spiritual battles of our age: transgender ideology, sexual confusion, and the crisis of masculinity.

Through profound insights on meekness, holiness, Catholic teaching on human sexuality, and God’s providence at work even in our struggles, this conversation will challenge, inspire, and equip you to better understand how we got here—and where Christ is calling us next.
